A representative with Mattel tells Simplemost that the team helped provide input when creating the doll to make sure she accurately represented a person with Down syndrome and “celebrated the Down syndrome community.”as having a face and body “more illustrative of women with Down syndrome,” which includes a shorter frame and longer torso.
As for the doll’s fashion, she is wearing a yellow and blue dress with butterflies, which are symbols and colors associated with Down syndrome awareness.
