Is it me or does dolls have one leg longer?

Hi! I don't know if it's me, but when I always try to stand my dolls up straight (leg closed, up straight position) they always tend to lean to one side as if one leg is longer than the other, is it just me or is this how they are made?

Sometimes one foot may be pushed in more than the other causing uneven standing. I've had this happen with my girls and I just adjust their feet so they will stand straight. Try it and see if this helps you

I usually gently pull one leg while pushing the other then straighten out the upper body afterwards. Not sure if this is the recommended way of doing this but it's worked out fine in the past for me.

I think it can come from the pelvis being skewed at a slight angle inside the torso too. It's not always obvious since it can move independently inside her.

Yeah if you ever take a DD apart you can tell inside the hip cavity there's a spot where the internal frame just kind of rests in the middle in this little spot - then when you jam the legs up into their respectful areas and connect it to the lower internal frame you can sometimes have one leg pushed up higher than the other.

Hmm so what did you guys normally do to make them equal again?

I do what Skaf does. It is pretty common in DD2. Sometimes the joints aren't as tightly secured on one side or the hip joint is a little misaligned.
