Looking for Vintage Barbie Sized Dolls

Can I still buy new dolls that are the original vintage size? I have made lots of clothes from vintage patterns only to find they do not fit the new doll which seems to be larger. My sister wants to give the clothes to her granddaughter, but she can' find the smaller doll we had as kids.

Hi Ginger -
Many of the newer and current Barbie dolls have her original figure - if you want to be certain, I would recommend any of the Vintage Barbie Reproductions. You can also purchase some of the reproduction Barbie dolls nude for a very reasonable price - you can see them here on eBay.
