The earlier appearance of the fashion doll

Hello, in the book "The Birth of a Consumer Society. The Commercialization of Eighteenth-Century England" (authors: N. McKendrick, J. Brewer, J. H. Plumb) I have found an information, that fashion dolls were very popular already in the 18th century. At p. 44: "At the beginning of the eighteenth century the fashion doll came over every year from Paris. Ever war could not hinder its progress." There are more specific information about the role of fashion dolls in that time. The French fashion dolls in the the late 18th century were replaced by English cheaper, smaller and easier changeable ones: "The original fashion doll continued to serve the upper end of market, while the English one publicized the latest fashions to the rest of society, until Napoleon finally ordered that the export of French dolls should cease." (p. 46) Moreover, "The first record of the fashion doll dates back to 1396 and the English royal court" (p. 46). I think it is worthy to correct the section "History"! Respects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obywatel swiata1 (talk • contribs) 14:09, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

I have an issue of Renaissance Quarterly that includes an essay that discusses the use of fashion dolls in French and Spanish courts back in the 1500s, specifically under Francois I of France. Philologick (talk) 10:30, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
