Barbie Fashionistas Doll #185 with Black Up-do Hair, Bleached Denim Dress & Accessories Including Boots & Headband

This is one of the rare times I’ve preordered a fashionista doll (usually I wait for reviews/actual photos first), and I’m so happy with my purchase. This is one of the few times I’ve bought a lower-priced doll and have felt it’s even nicer in person than its stock photos.She is a pretty good match to the made to move doll with the purple top and pants as you can see in one of my photos.I took photos right out of the package, and then after the body swap.The head wrap piece is wonderful. It has a button so you can take it off easily (like a plastic belt piece you may have seen on other Barbie dolls), and is made from a durable plastic that should hold up to play if given to a child. I hope that Mattel offers more of these in different colors on other dolls or as part of fashion/accessory packs in the future.The nice thing is her hair looks good without the hair wrap (as you can see in some of the photos). I was worried that it wouldn’t or would be a “fake” style like one of the made to move dolls’ buns is. Her hair has a nice, realistic texture to it, too.The dress is very nice, though the sleeve holes are very narrow and could be difficult for a young child to take off/put back on on their own, and it fits a little snug on the MTM body, but it’s one of the nicer fashionista dresses out there.The shoes are nothing special. Very thin plastic and a design we’ve seen over and over. I swapped them for the shoes from the Latina signature looks doll as you can see in the photo.Note that she does not come with a stand or accessories beside the hair piece; I added those to flesh out her outfit.Overall, this doll is definitely worth $10. I even like her original body, which I normally don’t care for the non-posable ones at all.This would make a great gift for an older child or an adult collector, in my opinion. I’m very pleased.

Lovely doll, well made, easy to play with the accessories, regular size, good movements.

I love her face sculpt and the freckles are just *chef's kiss*. I don't want to take her hair down either, it's perfect the way it is. Her dress makes me think of clouds in a blue sky.Her dress has clear elastic straps to keep it on at the shoulders and opens in the back. Her boots feel a little loose on her feet but they have a pretty pearlescence. Her head wrap is held on with a punch tag into her head that you can remove if you want. With her hair style I find that it stays put well enough if you cut the tag off.

This doll is absolutely adorable, and her dress is super cute. Totally recommend.

I made a birthday cake for a 5 year old client. This Barbie is so perfect. She has a natural bend in her arm, and the sweetest freckles across her nose. The price is AMAZING. I’ll get her against for sure.

This is a great doll I love her. Used her for the body so I can use another doll

This Barbie has a fantastic look and hair, my child loves her. My only complaint is how lightweight and cheap the plastic body feels. Definitely not like the rubber type Barbies of the 90's

I was able to get this doll for a very reasonable price and will be sending her in Ooeration Christmas Child shoeboxes as a gift. I love that they come in the zippered bag and I have put some extra clothes and accessories in.
