I don't understand why they make pantyhose and leggings with such a narrow and stiff waistband that it fits around an American doll. My daughter is in the 6th percentile for height and weight, and while I could squeeze her into this box, I refuse to make her uncomfortable. Wake up Jefferies sock company! Use a softer and more flexible fabric for the belts. When flat, a size 6-8 waistband measures 7 inches and is stiff - not very stretchy. So if your girl doesn't have a 14 inch waist, they will feel uncomfortable and penetrate her.
