Here's some sites I like that have vintage doll patterns from Kit's and Molly's time as well as from the 1950s:

I like using these because it gives you a pattern to work with that is already AG sized (or at least close)...it's really helpful to have something that shows the way a particular style was constructed. I love designing clothes for my dolls, in fact, they are beginning to be regular clothes-horses - haha!
