The pattern is sized to fit the American Girl Doll®, Slender 18-Inch Dolls (such as porcelain dolls) or Slender 20-Inch Dolls.

Susan Payne has designed for the collectible and porcelain doll market for years. After the American Girl became popular, Susan modified her patterns to include 18-inch dolls that have vinyl arms, legs and head and a stuffed body. However many of the outfits were designed originally for collectible and porcelain dolls. That means that some of clothes have the look of a child around the age of the American Girl and others look like dresses made for a grown lady. (If you are sewing for a child I have yet to meet the child who objects to having a fancy lady's ball gown or other beautiful outfit. These outfits are the most popular with my grandchildren Abby and Sarah.)

For collectors, there is probably no doll that has "heirloom" written all over it more than porcelain dolls so. The history of porcelain dolls go way back to the 1860's when the Germans discovered a way of crafting dolls that looked more like people than the earlier dolls made from wood and leather. Clay and water were mixed and then poured into head molds that had been sculpted. The clay was baked in ovens at temperatures around 2300°. The artists then removed the head from the mold and painted features after it had cooled. Glaze was put on the face to protect the colors.

Are you a collector? These beautiful designs from Susan Payne are perfect for your collectible porcelain dolls. She is truly a doll artist whose medium is fabric, thread and needle.
