#Barbie Fashion Packs

[dat2ndaccount97]

So over the weekend I FINALLY opened up the rest of that 80s-90s New in Box Barbie stuff I thrifted last year, starting with the remaining Fashion Packs. Didn't take any out of box photos as I just wanted to get everything unpackaged first and foremost so I can finally have that closet space back.

These are the new fashion packs that just released on Mattel creations.

Maybe I'm being picky but for 25 dollhairs each, these are a little underwhelming to me.

They're cute and at that price point, I hope they're well made, but idk.

Guys I just remember I got scarlet and Oliver for Christmas and never postedthe pics

Sorry

so anyway here they are I restyled them because I loved the dolls but not the fashion styles they came with

the only thing I did with Oliver‘s hair was un braided and give it a cold water wash Oliver is wearing his own tennis shoes, fins shorts and glasses, and the shirt is from a Barbie Cali girl Blaine doll, 

Scarlet’s hair was a much bigger problem. It was so gelled, but I washed it with hot water and soap before I shampooed and conditioned it looks a lot nicer and feels a lot nicer now but I think it still might need a second wash Scarlet is mostly wearing clothing from Delilah but the pants are a from Barbie inspired by Roxy  fashion pack

I have been both busy and in a slump lately, but wanted to make a post on some of the new fashion packs I’ve been finding in stores. So, here’s a compromise: I just take pictures at my beat up art desk, only turn on the easy to get to light, and just use dolls that are within arms reach.

Here are the Naturalistas/Latinistas clothing fashion packs. I thought they were all pretty nice (the pink one’s fabric is kinda thin and see-through though). The yellow one ended up being my favorite and that’s what this Naturalista’s going to be wearing back on the shelf.

I knew that she couldn’t fit the LUV packs, but the purple dress is so loose in the top I thought she miiiiiight be able to fit in it. It was pretty short on her and didn’t close all the way in the back.

The shoes were also a bit too small on the Naturalista.

But they fit a Pinkie Cooper doll pretty well (the two black pairs of shoes were a smidge bigger though). They also fit a regular Barbie well too (the black strappy sandals and black heeled shoes might fit a curvy or tall Barbie’s foot better).

LUV fits both G1, G2 (pictured here because I didn’t want to redress any G1’s around me and my cat decided that the table was now hers). The sleeves are a bit short on the jacket, but not bad. I really would love to see if I can put this outfit on the new G3 Catty as the material has some stretch to it.

I LOVED this outfit on this G3 Clawdeen. After I recurl her hair and give her an Afro puff, she’s going back in this.

The outfits are also a pretty good fit for Pinkie Coopers (the top is a bit loose due to their lack of boobies).

Then I spotted four Hairmazing fashion packs and picked those up (they were much cheaper than the LUV packs). This one is a bit short on Barbie, and the headband didn’t really work. It’s a better length for Clawdeen, but loose in the top.

Sleeves were short on the jacket on my Barbie, but could work for 3/4 long jacket. The top was a bit tight, and the skirt was a bit loose. Jacket was a better fit on Clawdeen, the top was horribly loose, and the skirt was on the loose side too.

This one WOULD NOT close in the back for Barbie, but was a bit of a better fit for Clawdeen (also, the top can be seem ripped to separate it from the overalls pretty easily).

I liked the shiny fabric on this one. The skirt mostly fit Barbie (it was a bit higher in the back though), but the top was a no go).

Clawdeen could get away with it, but the top was loose.

I grabbed several curvier G3’s to see if it was a better fit on them. The skirt would not fit up Abbey’s legs, but the top was a perfect fit! The skirt actually fit super well on Draculaura, but the top was a smidgen too big.

The sunglasses fit Monster High well.

The headbands were not really a winner on either Barbie (too big and bulky), or Monster High (to small).

The shoes were a PERFECT fit on G1/G2 Monster High (so probably Ever After High too).

My Bad Batch boys were jealous they didn’t get to try on anything and just stood on the nearby shelf…so here you go! They felt very pretty afterwards.

If I had a Crosshair and an Omega they would have also joined in.

I saw a Barbie fashion pack on clearance at Walmart and thought "why not." Modern day Barbie quality is why not. I want my four bucks back.

Pretty sure the flowers in this pattern are AI generated. Because human graphic designers can keep flower petals roughly the same size. And make things not look like shit.

The construction is so simple... Maybe I could rip it apart and make it a pattern...

I took these pictures yesterday and I didn't even know that it was Barbie's anniversary. They are all wearing Moya Mia outfits, and they look great.

I've come to the horrible realization that it's been almost a year and I've only actually opened 1 of these dolls and that Ken fashion pack (and also sent Pepsi Skipper to a friend).

I still feel like I don't have enough time to sit down and open all of these and it's too much of a hassle to try to get the box out or try to grab a single doll and open them one at a time. Hopefully that changes soon but idk if it will. Have been considering taking a few days off work for a mental health break.

I've done it a few times last year. Last time I did this was back in October, and took 4 days off for both a mental health break and to play/stream Gotham Knights and It was great (both the time off and the game). So maybe I'll take a few days off to recharge and finally open all these already and get that closet space back.

Went back to the thirft store with all the barbie stuff as RN they have a Barbie event for her birthday (which ends on saturday) and they had buy 2 get one free on fashions. and Yeah I came back with another Massive haul. SO MANY Good Finds today.

They had A TON of Barbie Stuff out for the event in addition to the stuff they already had prior. Some stuff they had multiples of too.

Going casual cute! Bracelet, headband, hightop sneakers.

Bookmarking various wheelchair barbies to periodically check if they’ve gone on sale because I don’t want an entire new doll I just want the wheelchair to use with the dolls I already have. That mint color you gave Ken’s wheelchair is very nice why can I not buy the chair alone. Why must you taunt me Mattel.

Blake has decided to model the outfit. I did have to use a hat pin to get the hat to stay on. Otherwise it popped right off her head

I have thoughts about the ted lasso dolls and many of my thoughts are not great.
