For what it's worth, the Carpatina slim-bodied clothing looks great on the BFC dolls who have just slightly narrower waists. I have 4 of them and love dressing them in the Carpatina wardrobe. The shoes fit wonderfully well too. The BFC head, however is a bit bigger; the Erin crown, for instance will not stay on well although it looks nice balanced on the head.
