This doll is very pretty and her hair washes up beautifully. (don't use a blow dryer on heat though) We have had many dolls w/ hair that eventually gets trimmed shorter and shorter because it's so snarled and tangled. This one is different. In fact the box states you can machine wash/air dry her if you put her in a pillow case. I am told the Gotz company made the original mold and dolls for the Pleasant Co. (American Girl Doll) which eventually led to their own factory and this doll is made with an identical scale mold so she fits all of their clothing and accesories. The thing my own daughter likes best is that she doesn't have two front teeth showing (the American Girl doll trademark)Get more detail about Gotz Dolls Jessica Precious Day Girls Collection 18".
