My mom found my old Cabbage Patch doll in her storage, and decided to clean it up and send it to my little girl just in time for Christmas. Unfortunately, there were no doll clothes with it. (I suspect they fell victim to a garage sale at some point.) I am trying to make some clothes for her, but my seamstress skills leave much to be desired. So I decided to fill in the stash with some purchased clothes.

It turns out that actual Cabbage Patch cloths (for the 18 inch dolls) are out of my price range. Most of the other clothes I found mentioned American Girl in the description, and I can't really imagine outfits designed for the slender silhouette of the AG dolls fitting a CP's chubby frame. I took a gamble on these because they were more vague in the description. So glad I did. The outfits are all really cute, and fit my doll quite well. The red "t-shirt" is a little on the tight side, but I did get it on and off without too much trouble and even managed to velcro it closed. The other shirts were all cut slightly larger than the red, and the pants, overalls, and dresses were perfect.

One thing that surprised me - and this is mostly a failure on my part, I think - is that I was expecting cotton knit (like a t-shirt). The clothes are actually sweater fabric, (all of them, not just the sweaters.) If you care about doll clothes looking like real baby clothes, that might be a problem. It also means I will have to be careful about washing them in the right cycle.
