SUMMARY: Ruth Wilson was a substantial contributor to this page, donating her collection of this magazine and also her expert advise as a research librarian. She's an awesome Lady, and I thank her!

National Doll World started as a black and white magazine with color pages starting to show up in the early '80's, and graduating to full color by the 90's. It started with few ads, and most of them discreetly in the back, and slowly creeped up to where it felt that 50% of the magazine was doll ads(I'm guessing to pay for the full-color interior).

National Doll World was packed full of a huge variety of doll patterns and clothes patterns, articles on different types and styles of dolls - it covered everything there was to know about different types of doll-making. It was very slow going getting this page done, because I kept stopping to read the articles! (I was especially jazzed and amazed by the article on Quilling dollhouse furniture and accessories - and this run of magazines is full of this sort of stuff). If you only like bisque-type dolls or polymer, you're better off with Doll Crafter or Doll Making: Crafts & Designs, or strictly into cloth - Soft Dolls & Animals and vintage The Cloth Doll. But if you're looking for a well-rounded magazine that peppers you with all sorts of new disciplines, I strongly recommend National Doll World. It's sadly no longer in business, but there are two decades worth of magazines out there that are a gold-mine of information and interesting patterns. They got less "All Disciplines" as they passed into the 90's, focusing more on doll collecting than on doll-making - but it's still worth seeking out.

Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
