Doll Clothes Restoration

A practical guide to cleaning, repairing and preserving antique and vintage doll clothing, written by Dianne DeBeixedon.

In a perfect world, every antique doll dress would be handled by a professional conservator. For most collectors that isn't realistic. This book teaches you the principles conservators use so you can care for delicate textiles yourself.

You'll learn preventative, less invasive approaches to cleaning, stain removal and storage — most of them using common household items and products you can buy online.

Dianne DeBeixedon is well known in the world of doll conservation and restoration. She has been associated with the Barry Museum and has lectured at UFDC and other doll venues.

Written for anyone caring for antique christening gowns, vintage lace, doll dresses, bonnets and other fragile fabrics.
