I haven't done a review of the Barbie Movie, but yes, I have seen it. And while what I experienced was a mixture of simple enjoyment and nostalic revelry (I felt the need to exclaim to my daughters "I had that one!" every time a Barbie was featured that I used to own) what I really loved more than the story and the revelry was the clothes!
Like virtually every other girl who went to see that movie, I did absolutely adore the wardrobe and hoped, hoped, hoped, that it would inspire a release of some pieces available for Barbie lovers young and old, in every imaginable size. In particular, I loved Barbie's pink gingham swing dress. It was just the perfect shade of pink, perfect length, perfect everything! And so, the search began.
I saw a few attempts out there, but nothing really got close enough to the loveliness of the movie dress to tempt me to purchase. I even scoured my favorite fabric stores to see if I could just make something myself, but nothing was quite right. I had pretty much given up hope until I saw this Amanda dress in Pink Gingham from Dolly&Dotty.
Just for a quick side by side comparison, you can see that it's that same pretty pink with a nice full skirt, and unlike many of the other dresses I looked at, it's cotton and it has pockets! Oh, gosh, is it ever the most charming dress.
So, there is really everything to love about this dress including the price (only £50) and just in time for spring and summer too. If you haven't watched my YouTube review of Dolly&Dotty, let me just hit the key points by saying that everything has fit true to size, been very nice quality, and arrived in only 1-2 weeks.
Dolly&Dotty have rapidly become a favorite collaboration partner, I have loved everything I have tried from them and am excited to show you what's next!
