Thanks!
I like the dolls with thin waist, but i think that this change is betrayal towards the collectors.
Can someone tell me since when the body of the dolls become thin?
I started to collect AG dolls 7 monts ago and all of my dolls are from the store.
I few weeks ago I got one doll made in 1986 and her body is thick than the precent dolls.
1986 doll has 11 3/4" waist ( edit the year - I wrote wrong 1996)
present doll - 10 1/2"
What year they changed the size of waist?
1 1/4" is a big difference for the clothes!

Some outfits don't fit the old dolls. They need to make corsets for the older dolls so they can sinch in a inch or two.

Oh, yeah. A 10% change in waist dimension is like a 20-25% change in overall weight for people. That is a lot of change... It is just not understuffing--the seams had to change to accomodate that much of a change.
If the dolls were to mirror society, then Mattel went in the wrong direction. LOL!

Some PM dolls do have freakishly large torsos though.
I think a happy medium would have been better.
Most of my PM dolls have a 12" waist, and all my Mattel dolls have a 10 and 1/2" waist---so I think it probably took place around 2000, when Pleasant Rowling left the company completely. [img]frown.gif[/img]

Wow, I didn't realize it was that much of a difference!
