It turns out that actual Cabbage Patch cloths (for the 18 inch dolls) are out of my price range. Most of the other clothes I found mentioned American Girl in the description, and I can't really imagine outfits designed for the slender silhouette of the AG dolls fitting a CP's chubby frame. I took a gamble on these because they were more vague in the description. So glad I did. The outfits are all really cute, and fit my doll quite well. The red "t-shirt" is a little on the tight side, but I did get it on and off without too much trouble and even managed to velcro it closed. The other shirts were all cut slightly larger than the red, and the pants, overalls, and dresses were perfect.
One thing that surprised me and this is mostly a failure on my part, I think is that I was expecting cotton knit (like a t-shirt). The clothes are actually sweater fabric, (all of them, not just the sweaters.) If you care about doll clothes looking like real baby clothes, that might be a problem. It also means I will have to be careful about washing them in the right cycle.

I bought these for an 18' baby doll, however the Velcro openings at neck/back are very short. Made it very hard to get clothes on doll over head and arms inside clothes. My 4 year old who is very good at dressing dolls and herself needs my help with these clothes. The clothes are knit so be careful because the Velcro does get caught on the clothes and snags them. I think the clothes might do better on a smaller doll.
