S.S.
an 18 inch doll is basically the size of a real baby. I would get her some new born outfits. and I would go to a thrift store. at new born size sometimes they are donated in brand new condition. when my daughter (she is now 31) was a preschooler she got an 18 inch doll I got it a complete wardrobe at the thrift store for about $20 and it had everything from dressy to pj's. she loved it
