Barbie Fashionistas Doll #209 with Black Hair Wearing Removable Pink Plaid Dress, Pearlescent Headband & Strappy Heels

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This doll should be a made to move doll, but this doll is pretty, I named her Vinessa goes by Vin too. I like the dress, Nice doll!

I have purchased a few of the new body style Barbies that Mattel has started bringing out in 2016. While I am enjoying posing them now, I want to have a small store of them ready for when my grand daughter is ready to play Barbie with me. I'm happy that her Barbie collection will sport petite, tall, regular and curvy Barbies which will be more like the people she knows that just the traditional Barbie.Curvy Barbie has a larger body than the other Barbies. She is the same height as Standard Barbie but is proportioned well for her size and shape.Her arms are a little thicker, her thighs a little more so. Her hips and body are larger in scale, too. Her feet, calves, ankles are too. Her hands are about the same size as regular Barbie. Her feet are the newer style flat foot which makes it a little more difficult to find shoes to fit her.She has hip length hair that is two tones of deep brown. Her hair is in a simple comb back style with a left side part. Her hair is soft and even a little flyaway with no stiffening product in it. She has ivory skin (fair with a touch of yellow), brown eyes, and neutral mauve lips with no nail polish. She has very natural style make-up and has a deep brown eyebrow with painted on lashes.Both of her arms are fairly straight with her palms pointing inward. Her fingers are mostly separated except the middle and ring finger of each hand are fused. Her legs do not bent except at the hips and they seem to be hollow rather than the solid vinyl of older dolls.Barbie is wearing a stretchy fabric dress which closes at the back with hook and loop. The bodice of the dress is royal blue and has a boat neckline with cap sleeves. The skirt portion of the dress is black with pink, royal blue, yellow and orange polka dots. The scale of the dots is okay but a little on the big side to give the outfit a retro mod vibe. The dress is form fitting and looks great on this Curvy girl. She has a pink plastic necklace and white plastic tennis shoes.There are now versions of the new body style Barbies that have additional outfits but I am hoping that Mattel will come out with outfits separately that are geared specifically for the new body types. I've bought the Look outfit sets and have found that pieces fit various body styles versus being specifically made for one single style.

Beautiful doll that arrived in great condition! 5 points of articulation. Excellent price too!

Kiddo loves the endless possibilities of design and fun. The quality of the pretend hair is great to brush and play pretend with.

What to say. I come from the south during the nineties and paying with dolls was never allowed. So I decided to buy this Ken to try to heal that. He is awesome and I’m happy to heal this part of my childhood

This Barbie head is so cute! My granddaughter loves brushing her hair! 4 stars because the hair accessories are difficult to use, even with me helping and the rubber bands for the hair are flimsy. Overall though, I would purchase again.

Made my granddaughter very happy to have a Latina doll that resembles her Tita.

Granddaughter immediately noticed she was a little fuller figured . She said “ Look ! We don’t have to feed her a cheeseburger ! She’s not too skinny ! “ . I love that because we teach them body positivity .
