HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

Thanks Muff for the heads up!

I was so surprised when I went to Walmart and checked the doll aisle. Low and behold, there were the Sparkle Girlz Fashions. Get this, they had the single packs which I snatched up as well as the fashion packs!! I could not believe, so of course I brought them too.

Fashion Pack #1

Fashion Pack #2

Fashion Pack #3

I must say I am impressed with them too. I don't know who is sleeping over at Mattel but they need to step up their game. The outfits are cute, trendy and can fit a number of their dolls. I wasn't to concern about the shoes or purses someone in Dotsville will benefit from them. Diamond was kind enough to select some friends to model three of the single sold fashions and one from the pack.

The Girls: "Hello Everyone!"

First up we have Diamond of course. She sports the capris set and one shoulder top. They have a little paint splash embellishment going on. Really cute.

Then there is Raven. She wearing the knit  mock two piece outfit with the shoes. It fits her like glove! She is showing all her curves.

Skipper is sporting the another mock two piece skirt outfit. The belt is a little loose but she looks good in it. Her purse is plastic but she can still work with it. She is a pink girl so this was perfect for her.

Sweet Calista is wearing the blue and white mock two piece dress from fashion pack #3. This is a little big on her. I hiked the skirt up just a little for the picture and it is still cute  She liked this one the best  due to the "bling" on her skirt so she will keep this one and I will adjust the skirt for her.

So in conclusion, these fashions will fit many of your dolls in your collection.  At the price of $1.97 you can't beat it at all. These fashion are  oh so cute. If you haven't checked out Van Doll Treasure click here to see the Sparkle Girlz value pack price at $15.00, If you want additional fitting examples stop by Roxanne's blog. You will see her stretch test on additional dolls you might have in your collection.

The Girls: "HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!"

My jewelry consisted of yellow diamond earrings, matching yellow ring as well as gold bracelets. The bracelet were made out of gold metallic cloth. I was an Ebay find so I arrived in Dotsville with no clothes. My family consist of my husband Koji, daughter Rei (Raquelle) and Michiko. My two son in laws, Eiji and David and my grandchildren Hatsuko, who you know as Skipper, Ichino who goes by his dad's middle name Todd and my youngest Emi. I'm so happy me and my family are here in Dotsville."
