The early bird gets the freshest pick, darlings! Your Saturday morning just got cuter with the sweet Plus Size Suburban Shopper, a classic reproduction of Barbie’s favorite sundress, originally released by Mattel in 1959. In mint condition from Unique Vintage, this beautiful frock is cast in a soft textured weave while darling embellished and embroidered stripes and dainty accents lend a gorgeous design. The princess seamed bodice features a square neckline and classic wide shoulder straps while the seamed waist tops a gathered swing skirt that flairs out with enough room for a petticoat pop. Outfitted with side pockets to stow away some apples and oranges and complete with a retro silver back zipper to cinch in your figure. The farmer’s market is your happy place, dear!

Beautiful Dress But Terrible Sizing!!

I really wanted to love this dress but this dress never fit me. I first bought my regular size a 1X and it was too big in the back like it was a size 2X. Then I tried the XL and it was too small and I couldn’t zip it up in the back. I’m very disappointed this dress didn’t fit me cause I loved it! :(

Perfect fit, size runs accurate. This dress is a sheer fabric, not what was expected, but it’s lovely. A bit dressier than I anticipated but I will make her work!

So pretty! This dress runs true to size. The soft blue and white colors are dreamy. The plus size version is just as full as the straight size one (which is not always the case). I’m very happy with my purchase

This dress is so cute, but I found it runs big. It was huge in the bust and very loose around the waist too. I'm normally a size 18 and could easily size down to a size 16 or 14.

Beautiful fabric and detail but quite high waisted and WAY too much flair in the skirt for me! Felt very awkward in it. Unfortunately bought it with high hopes on final sale and am stuck with it now.

I always loved Barbie growing up and this is a dream come true. I adore the little pin that comes with it and the detail on the zipper in the back.

I have been wanting this dress but always afraid to buy it because of the size charts being all over the place. I broke down and ordered 1X. I used to have to order 2X using the old size chart. And lately XL fits. I was not sure if this was made under new size chart or old one so I went with 1X. I should have ordered XL. Even though it’s big, it looks ok. It’s just loose in belly area. It’s well made and the details are just like the actual Barbie dress on the doll (I have one on a very old Barbie). To give an idea on fit, I wear 1X in MC brands. Bust is 21” flat, waist 18” flat. This dress fits ok in bust but waist is big. I’ll continue to wear it. I may alter it.

I was just so disappointed in this dress. All the pictures were gorgeous and then when it arrived it looked like a cheap Halloween costume. I really have no idea about the fit, because I chose to order a size up feeling like it might be too big and it was. I returned it, and I'm really hesitant to make another big purchase like this from this brand because the quality was not at all what I expected.

I have been wanting this dress since it first came out, and finally took the plunge and got it! and let me tell you i was not disappointed! I almost bought one size up from my standard unique vintage size, but i followed the size chart and ordered my usual size and the fit is amazing! maybe even a bit roomy, the fabric is a light material but seems delicate, and so i would be careful washing it. Perfect summer dress!

The sizing is way off, I'd say 3-4 sizes too small. Also the fabric is heavy and not soft, feels like sack material. I love Barbie and this design is so cute but the execution did not work for me.
