Barbie Fashion Designer / Game

I played with this kit when I was a kid. I introduced it to my daughter and after a move we ended losing the cd-rom. We were really bummed and never thought to check Amazon. So we were wonderfully surprised when we found it. It took no time at all to get it in the mail and my daughter is already back to creating cute barbie clothes!!

Its lots of fun to design the clothes. You can spend hours and hours having fun creating new outfits then seeing them come to life using the fashion show option. However actually printing your dress and trying to fashion it onto Barbie is very difficult, frustrating, expensive, and hardly ever looks as great on real Barbie than it did on digital Barbie, which of course can be expected. Still, I would recommend the product for all the fun it provides, as long as you use it as a game rather than a practical clothing making tool.

I love this thing! I have to admit, it is time consuming and there are alot of small pieces. Having said that, however this is a dressmakers dream! It comes with lots of accessories (shoes, etc.) that were unexpected. The coloring tips were awesome, and it was a lot of un to see my outfit actually come out of the printer!

I knew that this was used, but was disappointed that it wouldnt run on Windows XP SP2; just another illustration of Microsoft not having backwards compatibility. I could run it on a very old Windows computer, but who wants to have an additional computer just for a single program?
