My Source is this link : http://www.denofangels.com/mvolks.html
But I forgot to include this http://www.denofangels.com/measurements/volks/msdgirl.jpg
MSD figure is quite straight. I was confused when drafting the hips, so I “added” some mm(s) a little bit (^o^)’
It’s funny sometimes that some measurements are different each other. Perhaps, it’s “donated” measurement, not an official one (^.^). I found mine is smaller than if I use the second link (~.~)’.
Too bad, I don’t have the doll. Can’t try it out…well, as I said, it’s for fun now, but who knows, there’s a dollfie one day coming from the sky for me (^.^). If one day it happens, and my pattern is smaller, well, I’ll take it as “bad luck” on one side and also “good luck” in the meaning that now, I find the mistake to correct and I’ve learned to sew cute fashion.
The doll is very expensive…very-very expensive. My main budget is mostly for fabrics and supplies to make clothes and bags. I mean…the real one, for human, for me…oh, yeah, of course!…me-human (~.~)’…mmm…I really don’t think to spend the money on the doll unless that is…it comes from the sky to my hand…haha…
Here another useful link you might want to use. It’s for drafting pattern, special for mini pattern. I didn’t use this one but it’s interesting to know there’s a special drafting pattern for mini pattern (^.^). I have bookmarked it for my reference…

I wish you have the doll. I read once, it’s hard to sew without the doll…Yes, that’s correct. It’s because there’s no “standard”-”official” measurement! Each person measured differently. Sometimes I wonder, is it the same doll or the same doll? (^o^)’.
I’m thinking to enlarge my pattern a little bit but to be honest, I hate “loose”, “shapeless” “clueless” fashion. Not on real human fashion, not on doll fashion. I saw there’s sometimes some “loose” fashion. Oh, I hate it. But I’m sooooo inspired by a lot of talented people who sew fit fashion for their dolls. Bravo!
