Sparkle Fashion Show

this is only a few of them...
I will confess, this is the most I have ever bought Sparkle Girlz at one time. I usually buy one or two packs, maybe three. But sometimes, I've just gotta make the silly purchase. Sometimes, there are really cool fashions. Sometimes, a few more than I expect find their way into my cart! Yeah, anyway. I decided that since this was such a rare and special occasion, I should get some of the ladies out and do a fashion show!

I started with Destiny, who picked out the fun colorful knit/denim dress. It wasn't her usual suave style, but she definitely made it work. She was also the only one to hold the matching handbag.


 Next came Melody, who I knew would go for the rainbow metallic mini. She LOVES everything metallic, and thinks that everything is better with tall lace stockings.
     Of course, any part of the outfit is optional...

  Anja's outfit was set aside just for her. She recently donated her body to another doll whose body broke. Her new body is not barbie brand, but it is more articulated than her old one. Still, I felt that she deserved something special, and it reminded me of her.
 She has a very unique sense of style, that's for sure!

 Shalynn loved this funky fuzzy skirt/top combo and wore it with black leggings. It is winter, after all! She thinks it's a great outfit to go dancing in, if I will ever get around to building the club!


Health-conscious Maya has decided that this is the perfect outfit for her, and it helped her make a decision for her career path. She wants to be a fitness coach!

Lovely Carina modeled a dress that I found on eBay for her. She wanted something elegant to wear to a Christmas party. I think she looks quite angelic!

Black leggings are in this year in 1/6 LA. Echo stays cool and warm at the same time in this fantastic mini with a flower at the neck, accessorizing with a belt she found in the Giant Doll Clothes Box of Doom.
The dress is actually metallic!

A guest model shows off another eBay find...

And Anna and Elsa play dress up too!

   At first, I wondered why I even chose the outfit that Emily picked, but after seeing it off the cardboard, I realized that it was definitely for the lacy top. So cute! The shorts, though? I am not really a fan. Maybe they will look better on her!
No, they really don't. The top is so cute though!
 Okay, how is it with a different pair of pants?
Much better!
I guess I'll just get rid of the shorts...

"WAIT! I'll take them! OH I just know I can do something with these!"
 I don't even want to know, Melody. I can never get rid of clothes with her around! Eventually, her closet will be the Giant Doll Clothes Box of Doom. I think she's just fine with that arrangement!

    Next is Maya, in a zigzag dress with a sparkly strap and a purple gem. I wasn't sure I was going to like it until I saw it on a doll. It's not my style at all, but it looks very cute on Maya!
  
    Emily wanted to try on another outfit, and she saw a top that she really liked, with a much more normal pair of shorts! I think she chose well.

The last outfit was modeled by the same doll as the first outfit, Destiny. The blue of the dress matches her eyes really nicely! I bought two of this dress, one to give away, and I chose the stretchy one with the larger print over the smaller print made out of cotton. I think it's interesting that there's a variation in fabric!
    I did buy a few other Sparkle Girlz outfits, but I may not keep them, so I left them on the card. It was a big haul, and my dolls should be very happy and feel quite spoiled for a long time! They got their Christmas early!

  1. Dear Erin,
    Is there a way to take that orange puffball trim off the shorts without destroying them? They may look better then.

    1. If they'd just been around the cuffs, it would be easier, but there may be enough of a seam that I could try. When I get it back out of storage, I'll take another look at it. Thanks!

  2. *clap clap clap* What a great show. I'm always looking at the Sparkle clothes but don't buy that many. It was cool to see them being worn by your dolls.

    1. I buy so many. I'm rebooting my 1/9 collection and didn't have much leftover from my childhood. Can't have naked dollies running around! Though someday, I want to make my own clothes!
