Because of the unusually wide cut of the floral patterned denim Barbie pants shown packaged above, left, they swallow the thin frame of my
newest Fashionista. I opted to allow SIS Chandra to wear them along with the denim jacket as seen
here.
After reading my
previous post,
Vanessa wanted to know if the jeans would fit the Prettie Girls. In answer to this question, Prettie Girls Lena illustrates the fit in the photos below.
 |
| The pants do fit Lena but the waist falls a little low, exposing the top of her molded-on panties, as seen better in the next photo. |
 |
| Lena's panty top is exposed. Wearing a longer top will remedy this. Note that the denim jacket fits, but I did not properly align the Velcro closure. |
 |
| A tunic paired with the jeans provides the needed waistline coverage. |
 |
| Lena shows off her curves in this profile photo. |
 |
| Due to the size of Lena's bottom, the lower portion of the Velcro closure does not meet properly. Again, a longer top will camouflage this. |
So the answer to Vanessa's question is: Yes, Prettie Girls can wear these jeans, but they will look better with a long top or bodysuit.

Very helpful post...Thank you! I had both of these items in my hand a few days ago but put them back. I remembered how the previous jeans fit and felt pretty sure these floral ones would be the same. I didn't think of trying them on Lena. I'll be adding them to her wardrobe on my next trip to the store.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jewell. I hope they work for you.

Jewell are the jeans shown in this fashion pack set the ones you referred to has being ill-fitting -- cut too wide for the Fashionista body type?

The jeans I though were ill-fitting came in a single pack. They are pictured in the first photo of this post from Roville's blog: http://robing-roville.blogspot.com/2015/02/2015-barbie-fashion-paks.html
DeleteI have the pair from that fashion pack and they are loose, too but not nearly as bad as the ones that were sold individually.
Thank you for the link to Roville's blog, Jewell. I missed that pair of jeans but do have some of the other separates shown.
DeleteI saw the fashion pack with the other jeans at Walmart earlier this week and considered buying it, but left it there. I will probably grab it the next time I am there, if it is still available.

Very useful information! Since prettie girls haven't come out with any fashion packs, it is good to know that these will work for them!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Vanessa asked the question because it might have taken a while for me to "figure out" which other dolls have bodies suitable for these fuller cut jeans.

Those fit better than I would have expected. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny that Vanessa asked. I was thinking the same thing when you said how big they were. The Pretty Girls have some booties on them for sure. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYep... the Prettie Girls "got back."
DeleteYou're welcome!

Thanks Debbie. I will pick up a pair next time I see them. Wonder why Mattel cut them so big?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteI haven't a clue why Mattel cut them so big. Jewell suggested they might be boyfriend jeans, but BF jeans are typically loose all the way down with the ability to cuff them. The legs of these are tapered like skinny jeans.

You got to love Lena's curves! I feel her pain on trying to find the right fit. Great info!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ms. Leo. Yes, I love Lena's curves, but they can be a challenge when trying to find clothes for her to wear.

I have not seen them at my stores yet. I want the jacket more than anything. I love denim.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!!
I hope they show up soon GG. The denim jacket is made of a stiff but thin material, almost feels like paper. It looks better than it feels. There goes Mattel... cutting corners.

I really like that jeans.They are really cute.
ReplyDeleteKeep in touch.:-)
Thank you, MDS. After Jewell mentioned the boyfriend jeans probability of Mattel's design thought, I am liking the jeans more myself.
