Ancient Egyptian Costumes Paper Dolls (Dover Paper Dolls) Paperback – March 26, 1997

The drawings and costumes are exquisite, like most of Tom Tierny books are. The explanation of each type of costume is well-done and easy to understand. My only exception to the product is the near nudity--tastefully done and, I'm sure, just done to show authenticity, but it may be something to consider if you are buying this for a child. This particular book has a lot of the near nudity, but I guess that was ancient Egypt for you.

I don't know how I missed all the reviews saying this before I bought them, so I'm saying it again in the hopes that someone will see the title of this review and clue in. I bought these paper dolls for my 3 1/2 year old who loves all things Ancient Egypt. The man's outfits are fine, but there are only 1 in 3 outfits for the woman that are acceptable for a child of young age. No nipples, but a lot of cleavage and side boobs. There are still some woman's outfits that are okay, just be aware you (probably) won't be using everything you pay for.

Maybe too much detail, or suitable for teens to use in projects?? I purchased these to use with an Ancient Egyptian unit, for my elementary-aged class. I'm not a prude, but some of the body-part detail, might prove to be too much. I "extended" the costumes, or covered up certain areas, so i could still use it.

I actually got this for ideas on ancient Egyptian clothing for use on dolls. It was wonderful for that. I just wanted some good inspiration to do outfits for Barbie dolls and I did get design ideas. I have already sewn one of the outfits and it looks great on the doll!! I used braided black yarn for the wig and added the adornments in miniature that I got from this book!!!

This book was just the added touch needed for a display I created at work on Egyptian culture.The colors in the costumes are brilliant. The costumes are fairly easy to cut out with adult supervision. The head pieces are a little tricky, but if you're careful, they're worth the effort.

I purchased this book because my daughter is interested in making ancient Egyptian styled clothes for fashion dolls. A bonus to the pictures is the descriptive and informative text on the inside front and back covers.

I purchased these to "decorate" an ancient Egypt report for my daughter. The artwork is beautiful but I did have to censure a few of the outfits (not quiet suitable for elementary school).

This is a very nice, historically accurate set of paper dolls. I also enjoy the written descriptions. I would recommend this book for anyone. Some of the other reviewers have complained about nudity, but they must have a strange definitition of nude, because I didn't see any.

Ideal for younger children interested in ancient Egypt.

Paper dolly fun

I am a fan of Tom Tierney's paper dolls, and these met my expectations perfectly. The designs are beautiful, the colours rich and vibrant. The dolls are printed on cardstock, rather than the glossy paper of the clothes, which is a bonus. Not that I intend to cut them out! I will enjoy them as the eye-candy they are, and use them to teach my granddaughter about the fashions of the Ancient Egyptians when she's a little older. (I may have to buy another set for her!)

Bought this AS A GUIDE FOR MAKING 1/12 SCALE COSTUMES. vERY WELL ILLUSTRATED & A GREAT HELP.WOULD MAKE A NICE PRESENT FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN DRESS UP DOLLS AS WELL
