A friend put me on to an AG stand in for my doll clothes sewing at a Dollar Store or similar store. The doll had the same type of body, didn't cost much and worked well for me. I think even the real ones can have some variance in their body shapes just due to the construction. I was out of state while making the clothes and it helped a lot. I used a lot of knits and Velcro fastenings, so I think that helped, too. Although, some things were plain cotton. I miss that my grands have aged out of dolls. It was fun making those cute clothes.
