Barbie Fashionistas Doll #186 - Sleeveless Love Dress

I love the fact that this doll has a curvier, wider body than the normal "stick-thin" barbie. It does make it harder finding outfits for her to wear, though. Her hair is intricately braided and her face painting is more beautiful than I was expecting. She's not articulated on her arms or legs, but definitely worth the price.

Updated and stylish.

It was very stylish very cute. I love her braids. And my granddaughter really loved it.

I fell in love with the doll on the target app but when I received her, her screen printed face is so shiny that it's actually difficult to make out the details. She is a truly gorgeous doll with a beautiful face mold and curvy body. I don't recommend this for doll collectors but I don't think kids would mind very much about the shiny face

She is brown skinned and full figured!

Great doll for the price

She’s beautiful and I love her curves. I love her hair color and her braids.(:

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful Barbie. She quickly became my daughter's favorite. She is a curvy doll, which i appreciate as not all women are built like a more traditional Barbie. Her makeup is flawless. The hopp earrings give her just the right amount of spunk a little girl needs to see. My favorite is her hair. The little braids are a beautiful shade. And they don't tangle or mat like the other dolls. She can get put away and pulled out again as if she were brand new. She is a wonderful addition to our Barbie house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barbie has great style and is so colorful. Her hair with the braids feels great in my daughters hands. This Barbie kept her attention for hours and added another great character for her playtime. The clothes are very stylish and the resealable packaging made a great carrying case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Barbie fashionistas doll. She’s curvy so more realistic, the attention to detail is impeccable and her hair is all tiny little braids. The packaging was cute and she is well mad as expected from Barbie products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When she opened the doll, she yell mama. She said Barbie looked like her mama. The braids, the dress and tennis shoes, were all a reminder of her mom. This full figured representation of Barbie is also a representation of many of the women in today's society. To have a child yell mama when opening the doll says a lot. This is one Barbie, that was done with poise beauty and correctness in the eyes of a child that feels this Barbie looks like her mother. Wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter received her doll a couple weeks ago and she fell in love with it. She enjoyed that it was different and unique. She enjoys playing with it and has a special place for it in her doll house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this doll. Very appealing to a young African American girl. Doll details are extraordinary and the outfit is gorgeous. Doll is sturdy and was made very well with no worry of it breaking. Doll is fun to play with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Representation Matters. The new dolls are representations of REAL PEOPLE. And the body shapes, the hair styles, the skin tones? All these changes show little girls reflections of those around them. and themselves!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very cute Barbie, very dark skin which was nice. Her braids and reddish hair color is pretty. Her booty was a bit bigger than normal Barbie’s which is good but makes it harder to find clothes to change into.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty and ready for fun, this fashionista is gorgeous! My daughter kept saying, “She is SO pretty!” She has a beautiful face, sweet braided hair, and fun outfit. Noting her white athletic shoes, my daughter announced, “She is ready to go outside!” and out we went even though it was raining. Later, the doll got to try on some other Barbie doll clothes. (She fits Barbie Extra clothes great too! Love how most of the clothes swap so easily among the different dolls even though they’ve got different body types.) Yeah, it seems like her arms and legs are a little stiff compared to dolls who can bend at knee or elbow. Doesn’t seem to bother my daughter at all though; the doll can get around fine, drive the Barbie SUV, and play house with no problems! Oh, and one more thing- we love the new zippered packaging for the Barbie fashionista dolls! They’re great for storing the dolls but also awesome for other things like storing colored pencils, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Curvy doll with colorful silky thread "hair". Easy to dress and durable with all all ages with it. Has been dragged around, swam in pool and visited the dog park. Classic Barbie clothes do not work with this doll. Disappointed in the nonjointed limbs and flat feet, limiting clothing choices. However, this for the kids, not for me and they prefer it over my other " play gently "style Barbies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the Barbie Fashionistas and this doll is one of the nicest in the line so far! Such a beautiful face and realistically shaped body! Her hair is gorgeous and my granddaughter was mesmerized by both the color and the texture! Her “gold” hooped earrings are scaled small enough that they miraculously don’t seem to tangle with her hair. (The hairstyle isn’t one that would survive a brush or comb out so would be best suited for a child who is inclined to treat their dolls with care.) The LOVE print fabric used for the dress is bright and cheerful and I appreciate that it’s long enough to modestly cover her knees rather than the usual minidresses in Barbie’s closet. The white athletic shoes are well made and don’t easily fall off the feet during play as heels do. The design of the heavy plastic allowed my granddaughter to balance the doll to stand alone on a flat surface which is a big plus when posing dolls with Barbie playsets!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as i saw her, i had to have her. She is absolutely beautiful in the promo pics. I am such a fan of non smiling dolls. In my opinion, so much prettier than dolls that smile. This doll is stunning. She is WAY prettier in person than the photos for sure! I would recommend for play or for collectors of newer dolls. Fashionista is such a great and affordable line.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the doll hair.My daughter plays with the doll in her barbie dreamhouse.She has clothes that she switches out on the doll.I would definitely recommend it .It keeps my 3yr old preoccupied for hours at a time
