Book Description
You'll be seeing spots with this eye-popping fashion history by David Wolfe. Those perennially popular dots are featured in this colorful book that charts the fashion history of polka dots since they first became a rage in the 1830s when the dance craze swept the world. Since then, polka dots have popped up over and over again. This 8 page book spots dozens of dotty styles over the years, including ever popular classics like flamendo dresses, antique styles from the early years of the 20th century and vintage polka dots from the later decades. A spread of Hollywood polka dots includes costumes worn by Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Julia Roberts. Contempory designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier are still going dotty and their work is also featured. A trio of perky paper dolls are the perfect models for all the many polka dotted outfits.

Book Description
Her phenomenally successful career lifted off quickly in the `50s for teen-age Debbie Reynolds and she soon was a major star and still remains so. Singin¿ in the Rain was a huge hit, followed by decades of charming roles including Tammy and the Bachelor and The Unsinkable Molly Brown, just a few of more than fifty films. Many of those vehicles featured memorable costumes for characters ranging from flapper to sweet country girl and chic sophisticate. Debbie Reynolds looked adorable in all of them and this new paper doll book by David Wolfe features the fashionable facet of a famous star¿s meteoric career. Three Debbie dolls capture the star¿s appeal and eight pages of costumes will stir recollections of her many, many memorable movie roles.

Book Description
Paper dolls might seem the height of simplicity--quaint but simple toys, nothing more. But through the centuries paper figures have reflected religious and political beliefs, notions of womanhood, motherhood and family, the dictates of fashion, approaches to education, individual self-image and self-esteem, and ideas about death. This book examines paper dolls and their symbolism--from icons made by priests in ancient China to printable Kim Kardashians on the Internet--to show how these ephemeral objects have an enduring and sometimes surprising presence in history and culture.
