“Lewis Sorensen was one of a breed of master dollmakers.  Sorensen was born August 13, 1910, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to a poor Mormon family.  Infatuated with fashion designing at an early age, he began making dolls and doll clothing.  When he was 17, he began working as a helper and cutter trainee for a dress design and manufacturing chain store, ‘Mode O’Day,’ in his hometown.
Three weeks after first clocking in, a dress he designed became a best seller for the retailer and was soon being called ‘The Lewis Dress.’  This launched the young man onto a career in the creative end of the business.  In his spare time, he continued making dolls and doll clothing, using scraps salvage“
