Fashion Design Studio (Toy)
I was so pleased with this product! It's very hard to find quality educational and creative toys for children that aren't over priced - where you get a little quality for a lot of money. This kit is worth every penny. I shopped around and found the best price on Amazon. Got it for my 8 year old's birthday (just turned 8) and she loved it. This is perfect for any girl that is interested in learning fashion design or sewing or has an interest in making their own barbie clothes - or just likes to be creative and artsy. As an added plus I found it useful for homeschooling. (Measuring, art, careers, textures, etc.) The kit included fun fabrics for the kids to play with, a mannequin, a book to draw their designs in and very nice instructions I was pleased with. Needles, swatches, thread, swatches, fabric glue and pencil, and a very pretty pre-made dress that the little ones can just add fancy stuff too if they want (I think it ran big though). There was more but I bought it a while ago so I can't remember everything. Little hangers for clothes. (Having a case to keep everything in would have been nice - but probably would have made the product more expensive.) There was a lot to "explore" with the kit so it wasn't just ripping it open and throwing it aside. It's definitely something to sit down with. I also felt it was new and different than a lot of stuff out there. (She's my youngest of six..so I've got a grasp on what's out there...) The idea of saving money by making barbie clothes is a good idea too. I am so happy I found this and I highly recommend it. If I'm ever stuck to get another girl a birthday present and they like Barbies I'd definitely consider getting this for a gift. Highly recommended.
