It has a very comfortable adjustable handle so the little iron can be positioned at whatever angle you are comfortable holding it, easy to press buttons to turn it on and off and set the adjustable temperature, a long cord, and a little stand that folds out to hold the iron up when you set it down. It has 4 heat settings and heats up very quickly. I think it would be great for making doll clothes.

Here's a link to a video of the Dritz Petite Press mini iron. I forgot to mention in my previous post that it can stand up on its little fold out stand as I showed in the picture I posted, or lay on it's side without risk of burning through anything or rolling around. It's my newest favorite quilting tool!

Well , mine always got hot and still does. I use it in my crazy quilting , ironing the seams down. I'm glad I have it . I love it. The iron I have is about 10 yrs old and still does a great job. Mine didn't come with anything except the little dodad that holds it when not in use. I hope you get it for her.
