When I worked for Magic Cabin Dolls, I used to get some pretty funky smelling fabrics to work with. We tried really hard not to get fabrics with odors, but sometimes it cannot be helped. There are certain treatments that make them smell that way. We aired them out, and in most cases, it was fine. Sometimes we even washed them.

I can remember one particular fabric, that made me physically ill. I couldn't work with it anymore.

I am hoping for the winter outfit for Chrsitmas....If I don't find a pre-mattel on ebay. I sure don't want a smelly one! I bet that if they get lots of calls, they'll pull those outfits and investigate the problem.
