aggieamy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 DD loves fancy dresses. She loves coloring books with fancy dresses, paper dolls, illustrations in picture books. You name it - if there's a fancy dress in it she's in heaven. So I'm looking for books that have lots of pictures of dresses. It can be non-fiction or fiction with illustrations. Even non-fiction for adults is okay because she'll just enjoy looking at the images and trying to draw them herself. She likes historical dresses and fantasy so it doesn't have to be from a specific period. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The Tom Tierney coloring books by Dover are wonderful for this -- lots of different eras. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tom+tierney+coloring+books This book is DD's favorite; it's pricey but absolutely stunning: http://www.amazon.com/What-Clothes-Reveal-Language-Clothing/dp/0300181078/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362589136&sr=8-1&keywords=what+clothes+reveal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Seconding the idea of Dover's coloring &/or paper doll books; in addition, Dover carries books like Fashions and Costumes from Godey's Lady's Book (which is not a coloring book, but dd used it that way). They have many that would fit what you're dd is looking for. Also, I picked up a set of books for dd years ago through bookcloseouts.com -- these are fabulous too: Clothes of the Ancient World Clothes of the Medieval World Clothes of the Early Modern World Clothes of the Modern World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
