As every girl knows, American Girl is a line of dolls approximately 18 inches tall. Depicted as girls around the age of ten, the American Girl line features the dolls as individuals living in various timelines in American history. The dolls come in different skin and hair colors to cover a wide spectrum of ethnicities. Girls also get detailed and entertaining stories courtesy of the books that come with them at the time of purchase.
 
Currently, however, the Pleasant Company, the firm that markets the product, has expanded the line. These dolls not only represent periods of American history, but also provide contemporary concepts. There are now dozens of types of dolls on the market, providing a wider range of options for little girls who want their own American Girl doll.

Clothes and accessories

It should be noted that the exquisite quality of these dolls is not the only reason they are a huge success. With little girls’ penchant for dressing their dolls for various occasions, the American Girl (AG) line offers a wide range of clothing to choose from. These clothes can be purchased separately and include contemporary clothing, from elegant pajamas to ballerina tutus.
