If you know me well or even know my Blog, I have always loved Barbie and the fashion that comes with it. Yes I follow Barbie on Insta and yes I like every picture of her daily outfits!
So imagine my excitement when Missguided themselves released a Barbie Range! I really do love all the pieces and would love to share my honest feedback with those who may not have made their purchases yet. I was pleasantly surprised with how affordable the range is and was hoping that the material would be up to scratch.
Is it as good as it sounds? let me tell you.
The Barbie Jumper
This piece is one of the latest drops on the Missguided website, they released a bunch of new stuff to keep the range going which I'm so happy about since my wardrobe exists of only Barbie now.
The jumper does look as good as it does online but the ONLY thing that bugs me is the colour. This to me isn't Pink, especially Barbie Pink! In one of the pics I edited the colour to darken the photo because I didn't like how pale this colour is, especially for a pale person like myself.
As you can see close up, the bandana print is shiny and would probably peel off after a few hot washes so you would need to put this in the wash inside out. The Barbie logo is stitched on and the material inside is very comfortable but thin. Jumpers should never be thin in my eyes so with this I will accompany it with a white vest etc.
I do love the fit and the style so you will be seeing this in future posts but I will be careful when washing it.
The Sassy T!
I love everything about these t-shirts, the cute pictures and the quotes are everything I imagined this range would be. I bought this top months after my first few purchases because I was very surprised at how comfortable these tops are. At first I bought one because I imagined that the front picture would be a stick on print and again would probably melt off or fade after time but I was very happy to see that the picture is the same material as the top and its GORGEOUS material, plus very easy to iron.
As will see in the pictures below I am being completely honest here, the downside to this range is how quickly everything creases. They're the type of tops that are best left on a hanger in your wardrobe instead of neatly folded in a drawer because trust me; they will crease!
On the plus side its a very thick material which will probably keep me warmer than the jumper will haha!
The Uncomfortable Tag..
Oh my the TAG! The most uncomfortable thing to have been put on the clothing. We all know this range is quite a unique one so keeping the tag on the T is pretty important, but why so big! why so scratchy!
You would want to rip the whole thing off after a few wears, the edges are thick and sharp and can nibble away at your neck for a good few hours till you get used to the pain lol
That description could be pretty dramatic but you will always know the tag is there... This is the only main thing I say they should improve on, make the tags smaller, smoother and just normal like any other tag.
The Barbie Bodysuit
The Bodysuit is one of newest pieces to drop, I contemplated on buying it for a while because white usually isn't my thing, mainly because the smallest marks will obviously show so I would usually steer away, but then I imagined how I would style this piece. I have a beautiful PLT Pink blazer and suit trousers which I have been pictured in before on a previous post and I've always struggled with tops/shirts to go with it.
I thought this Bodysuit would add the right touch of colour plus a little surprise on the sleeves which I love.
This is pretty see through so a good white bra would be recommended plus it does crease VERY easily so I would hang this up in my wardrobe alongside my other creased pieces lol.
The first picture you can clearly see is edited to hide the bra a little but the second two are not.
I laid the Bodysuit on my bed to show how it looks off the body and how it compares to the white throw behind it.
I do love the Barbie Print on the sleeves but again they're not as PINK as I'd like but maybe thats just me being Pink crazy!
The Round UP- All in all I am very happy with the quality of these pieces minus the uncomfortable tag and the creasy material BUT every piece is affordable and comfortable in many ways. I would definitely recommend the range to a Barbie fashionista like myself and the designs and styles are all what I imagined it would be. I mostly love that the Barbie logo is always clearly shown and practically thrown in your face on each piece, the brand is very unique and quirky and the suttle Pink barbie colours are thrown in sporadically throughout.
I know in the future I will be making more purchases to this range. I just hope the Tag changes and that Missguided keep dropping these amazing clothes.
