It has been a long time since I have designed a smocked doll dress pattern. But I am now starting to design again. I am very excited about it. One of the first tasks will be to size patterns for both the vintage American Girl Doll and the modern American Girl Doll. For those of you who do not know, the American Girl Doll was first produced by the Pleasant Company. In about 1998 they sold the company to Matel. Over the next five years or so Matel began silently and slowly changing the size of the doll as they produced new ones. The new dolls are thinner. My doll patterns are sized on the older “vintage” doll. In the future they will also have sizing for the “modern” doll.
