Pros: Very fun for my 6 year old. Creative concept. Prints coloring pages.
Cons: Printer fabric is expensive to replace and basically only one pattern per page.

Pros: Overall a fun program
Cons: No evening/ wedding dresses or gowns!
Summary: Just one remark I really want to say about this.
The original "Barbie Fashion Designer" had tons of long, gorgeous wedding gowns and little girls LIKE those! This one doesn't have any pretty dresses. Only mini-skirts, sporty clothes, ... read more

Pros: Fun program to use. Many different patterns, colors, and designs to choose from.
Cons: Will not fit new model Barbies. Fashions can be difficult to put together. Fashions do not stay together without sewing them.
Summary: I bought this fashion designer a year or two and enjoy using it. It's not too hard, but I wouldn't recommend this for little girls. They may have a hard time with putting the fashions together. The cost for the refill kits is way to over priced or at ... read more

Pros: Easy to use software
Cons: requires Mom's help
Summary: When my daughter saw the box, she had to have it. I was against it because I don't sew. Guess what, you don't have to! You can actually make real Barbie clothes with these little stick-on things.
Installing the program was no problem. ... read more

Pros: Can personalize outfits
Cons: can get complicated
Summary: Even though it's a nice game, and it brings out imagination, unless you know everything already, like the symbols, you're going to be there for a while figuring things out by trial and error. The fashions are nice, and if gives girls a chance to ... read more

Pros: Software is fun to play, even makes coloring pages of fashioned designs
Cons: Time consuming to set up and get to where there can be independent play, and digital camera doesn't work well
Summary: Basically the reason that we chose to purchase this particular software was because of the Digital Camera. The combination of the two were around $60.00 at a discount store. This software was purchased to be used by my mentally challenged daughter who ... read more

Pros: Good graphics. Easy navigation.
Cons: Too many to mention in this small amount of space.
Summary: This program has good graphics, however, the outfits are very difficult to create. My daughter cannot create them by herself, and they require major work on my part to make them usable for her. The fabric paper for the printer is not cheap and now it ... read more
