A 2001 booklet by Tess Parrish on making a reproduction of an 18th-century "Queen Anne" wooden fashion doll, modeled on the doll at the Tate House in Portland, Maine. It gives background on fashion dolls sent from London to the Colonies, then describes turning and carving the poplar body, jointing the limbs, and painting the face. Many photographs show the doll and its clothing (shift, stays, petticoats, pocket hoops, quilted petticoat, stomacher, gown). The pattern section has full-size pattern pieces and assembly notes for the body parts and each garment, including the gown, shoes and stays.
