Tom Tierney's paper dolls always look a little challenging to cut out, but if you can't bear to, they make excellent fashion references. His books always feature beautiful, full color renderings of the clothing, with accessories and hair styles, as well as helpful explanatory captions with information about fabrics and other details.

He has done a number of books on the late 19th and early 20th century, including Newport Fashions of the Gilded Age Paper Dolls, Great Fashion Designs of the Victorian Era Paper Dolls in Full Color, Great Fashion Designs of the Belle Epoque: Paper Dolls in Full Color, Fashions of the Gilded Age Paper Dolls, Gibson Girls Paper Dolls in Full Color, High Victorian Fashions Paper Dolls, Worth Fashion Review Paper Dolls. For the slightly less fashionable population, there are Late Victorian Costumes Paper Dolls and American Family of the Victorian Era Paper Dolls. He also has a coloring book entitled: Late Victorian and Edwardian Fashions. ( )
