I got her some bunny slippers and they were just a hair too small....did find some purple shoes to go with her purple corduroy coat and hat. And finally found the pattern online for her clothes. I saved some info a few years ago about how to work with her hair but haven't done it....YET! I want to make her more clothes "some day". Found a great blog....she gives a review of the My Life As dolls and more, Linda, that might help your search:

I didn't realize there were so many new 18" dolls that are much less expensive than the AG dolls. I need to get G's clothes out and washed and post some pics.
