Baby Doll Body Measurements
Guest Author - Susan Kramer

These measurements are for 4 sizes of baby doll bodies, given in both inches and centimeters. I used my own dolls to take the measurements.

When making doll clothes be sure to make the clothing larger than the doll body measurements for ease of dressing and movement. Here are more doll body measurements.
