Heee! One year (I must've been about 9), my parents let me return most of the birthday presents I had gotten from friends and family and buy Felicity and her accessories instead. I learned to manipulate the market young *G* As for dresses, I had a few but my grandmother was a very good seamstress and so my mother had bought the patterns for me, and grandma made several for me and my sisters (they also had 18" dolls that weren't AG), though none of them matched exactly.
