Review: Beautiful - I love everything about this beautiful doll, the long, soft dark hair, pretty face (with closed mouth), curvy figure, high necked purple and black checkered dress (purple, my favourite colour) and trainers (it’s okay for Barbies to have flat feet, so radical!). I added dark reddish purple shorts (because mini dresses can mean wardrobe malfunctions, as the dolls don’t come with undies) – discovering that Ken shorts and trousers fit curvy Barbies! It’s just amazing that you can get Barbies in all shapes and sizes nowadays, but how about creating pretty dresses for all shapes and sizes? I may be inspired to make my own, but let’s see…
Review: Great addition to my growing collection - I love the fact she is a slightly chunkier doll, not the usual size 8/10 supermodel figure but more realistic. Great hair, well made as to be expected

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition to my growing collection
*by D***N on 11 October 2023*

I love the fact she is a slightly chunkier doll, not the usual size 8/10 supermodel figure but more realistic. Great hair, well made as to be expected

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty and curvy
*by J***E on 28 February 2024*

Dark haired medium skin tone pretty curvy Barbie. I've not taken her out of all of the packaging as yet. She comes in a pink see through zipped up case with plastic packaging inside. Not sure about the case I suppose it keeps the dust off and can also be used for travel with some extra clothes and shoes. Love the pink and black mini dress, light pink little boots on her feet. Again I've not given 5 stars as she is not poseable. A bend in the elbows and knees would be better. I will probably use as a head swap on a more poseable body.
