Notes: "All the outfits ... fit 15"/16" dolls i.e. Gene, Tyler, Esme,FM vinyl dolls, etc. ALL pieces will have to be enlarged using a photocopier at 135%. Some patterns need to be pieced together at certain places because of their size, and some are labeled NOT TO SCALE. Patterns labeled in this manner must be drawn according to the measurements given on the piece. They are typically simple rectangles and do not involve complicated shapes"--P. 7.
"Over fifteen ensembles, each costume is complimented [!] with historically researched accessories. ... Rated according to difficulty"--P. 4 of cover.
