Why are some Sasha dolls 16″ and others are almost 17″ tall?
When any doll is produced, the molds wear out over time. The molds were recast at the company several times it seems, since the early 1970’s dolls have very narrow faces as opposed to the 1960’s – 1971 dolls. Also, the dolls definitely “grew” in the later 1970’s, as the molds were recast again. Dolls from the 1980’s often will not fit into clothing belonging to earlier dolls.
