Hi Claudine,
Websites, books, patterns, etc. that you've found useful. I'm more
interested in making clothing for an existing doll than in making the
doll itself, and I'd prefer the kind of doll that's proportioned as an
adult woman.

For my books of women's patterns that contain apportioning scales
(graduated rulers), the patterns can be sized for dolls as well as
humans, by using a smaller scale. These are:

Overskirts, Polonaises, and Day Dresses 1877–1882
