Editorial Review:
Splendid wardrobe of 16 costumes for a male and a female figure highlight 1,500 years of Egyptian fashion history. Includes colorful sheath dresses, sari-like cloaks, fringed shawl for the lady; kilts, royal robes, and soldier's uniform for the man. A dazzling window to the past, meticulously researched and rendered.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Fabulous costumes!
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.
Rating:  - Rated M for Mature
I can't believe no other reviewer has mentioned that the girl paperdoll is topless! In a couple of the costumes, she has nothing on top (sure it's covered by props, but not well) and since when do paperdolls have DD cups? I got this for my daughter for Christmas, but there's NO WAY I would ever let her play with this type of paperdoll. Is it too hard to actually make something that's appropriate for children? Definitely not G rated IMO!
Rating: - Gorgeous artwork!
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).
Rating:  - Beautiful paper dolls & costumes!
We used this book of paper dolls as inspiration for dance costuming representing Ancient Egypt in a presentation at our local zoo's fundraiser "Caravan through Ancient Egypt". Beautiful paper dolls and costumes...excellent quality!
Rating: - Beautiful
Amazing, two dolls, a dozen or more plates of beautifully draw clothing, how can you go wrong? If you love egypt, this is the paperdoll book for you.
