"Since we are designing the convention doll for the upcoming 2014 St-Louis BJD Convention we decided to go all out and create a NEW BODY SIZE for EMILY. The new 14" BJD body will be made to the current Leeann body basic scale. Same upper torso, waistline, and feet. Emily will have the "bigger head/bigger eyes" in the BJD trend. Many of Leeann's outfits, all of Leeann shoes will fit this new body."
You will be able to pre-order your Convention doll on the St. Louis BJD Convention website in April.
