I have not used the books by Hazel McMahon, haven't seen them actually.  I have two Gene patterns I bought last year at the October Crossroads Doll Show.  I got them for $4 each. Other than that it's the magazines or anything I can find on the internet for free.  

I do not have any Tonner dolls but would love to have a Tyler and the dude that goes with her(forgot his name!).  

I did sew one dress from a Tyler pattern and it was too big for Gene in the bust and waist so I am trying again having cut the pattern smaller.

I am unfamiliar with the Russel William you mentioned.  Tonner?  I need to do more research!

do you have Tonner's? (they have similar body ib hight but usually the pattern as to be re-adjust from Gene to Tyler)

one of my girl is desperately waiting for a Russell William (the first one with this gorgeous face and dark skin, not the honey skin )  I think she is depressing :(

yes you'r right about those magazine patterns I make basically all my "Gang" outfits from patterns I find here and there, Haute doll being one of my source. My Hubby offers me a couple of years ago the 2 patterns books by Hazel McMahon

have you already used them?

I know pretty well how to sew but I am less than basic about patterns and those book are my bible

as my gang member got strong personalities, I have to make for each one a proper and individual garde-robe, right now I am dressing Mercedes (velma Kelly , serie Chicago from R. Tonner) and as Mercedes just came back from Seville she now want Sevillane dress!! so ... :)

dolly cheers

Thank you!  I got the pattern out of a Haute Doll magazine I had from the library.  It may have been the October issue of last year or newer.  Anyway the pattern paper I copied  out of the magazine says WWW.DOLLREADER.COM.

That's one good thing about doll magazines, you can find patterns that aren't readily available otherwise.
