Three stars for the book, six stars for the DVD that comes with it.

The patterns are ok, the instructions ok, I wasn't crazy about most of the styles shown in the book - they weren't classical enough for my taste, and the skirts ran a bit short.

On the other hand, there are FANTASTIC hints about picking patterns and materials; patterns are sized for the American Girl Doll with adjustments for Bitty Baby; and for girls size 4 and 6.

The DVD is FANTASTIC. Rather than trying to puzzle out the written instructions, the DVD takes you step by step through how to construct EVERYTHING in the book. If you like Sewing with Nancy on PBS, you'll love watching Nancy tell you how to turn a pair of old jeans into a spectacular skirt and vest for doll and girl.
