Barbie Fashionista 233

Barbie Fashionista 233 uses the Tall (12-1/2-inch) Barbie body with flat feet. Reportedly, the LeAnn Rimes Barbie was the first to use this head sculpt, which is referred to as the Carnaval sculpt. In 2017, it was used for The Barbie Look Nighttime Glamour Doll.

The dolls in this wave of Fashionistas are illustrated on the side of the box. Fashionista 233 is the third doll from the left.

This out-of-the-box photo illustrates the length of her floral/checkered-print dress and her orange platform-heeled shoes

I trimmed a few uneven strands from the ends of the hair before this photo was taken.

She has a very lovely face.

The head sculpt (one of my favorites) and the brightly colored dress caught my attention because of its mod-era look. I pierced her ears with hot pink 1/8-inch map pins from an assortment of map pins purchased on Amazon. 

I'm still determining if I'll redress her.

She now has a shortened hemline.

I shortened the dress's length by tucking it under. After the above photo was taken, I removed the dress, turned it inside out, added double-sided tape to the edge of the hemline, and folded the hemline up to cover the tape to permanently shorten the dress.

Fashionista 233 posed with two other dolls that share the same head sculpt. 

The Barbie Look Nighttime Glamour, Fashionista 233, and Fashionista 135 use the Carnaval head sculpt.

This lovely trio posed for a close-up photo.
