Modest is hottest

Recently Grandma Mattson sent the girls some new Barbie clothes. The girls are always dressing up their Barbies and then saying things like, "This dress is so pretty, but it's not modest." The new clothes they received prompted Krystal to design some new fashions. Every time I see her Barbies, they are now layered in very creative combinations of clothes. This is Krystal's solution for a strapless dress and a belly shirt. Wouldn't it be great if in the future we would hear coming from the catwalk in Paris, "And here is Pinky Pie (Barbie's name) sporting the latest fashion of modesty from famous designer, Krystal Rose. She starts this combination with a long sleeve shirt with small stripes of olive green and hot pink, followed by a turquiose tafeta dress which is then covered with a wide-striped belly shirt that breaks all the rules in matching colors. To top off the outfit Pinkie Pie is wearing her knee length riding boots, lest her evening dress catch a breeze and show a little skin." Well, maybe these designs won't ever hit the runways, but I think it's adorable and wouldn't mind at all if my girls decided to express themselves by donning such outfits as teens rather than the scanty styles that are so prevalent today.

Actually, it looks exactly like something you'd see on a runway! Bravo!

The issue of showing too much skin is way too prominant. I do appreciate though that it has become more popular to be orginal in your clothes. You can also put together more eccentric outfits and it is seen as "cool."

That is too cute. Yay for modest Barbie.

I wish our barbies would even wear belly shirts and bikinis'! Mostly they lounge around naked and show no interest whatsoever in getting dressed!
