White-Bodied Doll

A white-bodied doll is a term that refers to dolls that have white muslin bodies instead of ones that match the limbs. They are a sign of the doll being one of the first dolls produced by American Girl.

Only three dolls have been white bodied--Samantha, Kirsten, and Molly. The cloth bodies were changed to matching colors with Felicity and the low-cut necklines of colonial fashions. While there are rumors of white-bodied Felicity dolls, they have never been proven.
