Summary: The shoes are all wrong!
Comment: Don't get me wrong--I'm a huge fan of Tierney's paper dolls and own more sets of them than I can count. I very eagerly waited for the Irish Dancer set to be published, as I was Irish dancing myself at the time, but unfortunately I was a little disappointed. Tierney's dolls are usually so carefully researched, but in these, he seems to have no understanding of what Irish dancing shoes look like. The hard shoes look like none I have ever seen before--they appear to be a slip-on type with no toe tap, laces, or ankle strap at all. The ghillies look more realistic, but there's not a poodle sock in sight.

The dresses, however, are quite lovely, drawing from both traditional school & competition-style dresses as well as "Riverdance" and other similar shows.

Summary: Nice for girl entering Irish dance.
Comment: This paper doll book includes 1 doll and 8 costumes. They are non-perforated cut-outs. The doll is large, nearly 12", which surprised me, because most Tierney paper dolls are drawn to a smaller scale. The costumes are pretty but no history of them is given.
