ELEGANT HISTORIC COIN BANK
This replica of a British letter box (mail box in the US!) has perfect detail; it is a suitable size -- sits neatly on a table, holds quite a lot so doesn't need frequent emptying, colours are vibrant and true to life, and it is easy to fill, and open. I bought several to give to friends and as a fund raiser item for British groups, many of whom save specific coins for their favourite charities.

BEAUTIFUL TINY BJD
The articulation is excellent, the stringing just right, the face-up is a delicate pastel which I like; her little smile is adorable. As for the clothing, it is very ornate, the panties, hat, dress and coat have lots of lace trim, the leatherette shoes are very well made; the teddy and extra 'plasticine' for eye replacement are a nice bonus. The packaging is superior, like a large white book, with satin insets for doll and her stuff.

Accurate history & patterns for both French doll fancier & good seamstress
This gets 5 stars because I wanted the historical details about French Fashion Dolls, and I can sew. However, the directions to use the patterns are essay style (these are NOT Simplicity run-it-up-in-an-afternoon patterns!) and not always the easiest to follow; the patterns are historically correct so there's a lot of items we do not do today (e.g. dust ruffles on skirts); for best finish there needs to be a lot of hand sewing (especially if you don't have a ruffler for the pleats); using historically accurate fabrics is costly (e.g. silk in my area has doubled in price; buying historically accurate brooches, pins etc. also gets costly. Having said that, the results are stunning; the patterns are adaptable (the 5 can be used to make more e.g. jacket from one with skirt from another, swap trims, etc.); polyester laces and chiffons and other modern fabrics work well; the patterns have more fussy detail than, say, the Susan Sirkis Wish Booklets, but they are about the same difficulty as equivalent costumes. If you want the same results for less money, try Googling pictures of Gildebrief doll fashions, and adapting patterns/pattern pieces from Venus Dodge (a 6-star book) I've done that, too, and the results can be equally stunning.
