From the tragedy of World War II to the height of haute couture, this book takes you from the genesis of miniature mannequins with the famous Theatre de la Mode to display mannequins and sewing kits found in sewing stores of the 1940's and 50's. Baby Boomers will recognise the miniature sewing mannequin sets from their childhood when proper young ladies learned to sew for their future families. This collector's price guide features 200 full-coloured photos of miniature mannequins.
