1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this toy!, February 9, 2002

Don't be sucked in by the hype. At face value, this is a cute and supremely packaged toy, which states right on the front in big bold letters "everything you need to create 84 cool fashions". However, when you actually open the package there are 4 (yes four) tiny scraps of cloth inside ... which will make you exactly 4 shirts OR four pairs of shorts....certainly not both... 84 FASHIONS? There were three 2-3 inch scraps of lace, 2 buttons, 3 little appliques, and NO markers, crayons, or anything else with which to make the outfits. THat's it. Thats all you get for 30 dollars.

I cannot tell you how disappointed my eight year old daughter was on her birthday because of this item. SHe had asked me for it for months, and made her wait for this as a special birthday gift.

This toy was a complete waste of my hard earned money, and it totally mispresented itself. If they wanted you to use materials you have on hand at home, they should have stated this, and should not have stated on the front of the package that everything was included for 84 outfits.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves this toy!, June 5, 2003

This review is from: Fashion Angels (Toy)

My 9 year old daughter saw this toy at a local store, and has has many hours of fun with it since. Sure, it doesn't come with a ton of cloth or trim, but we happen to have some substitutes: old magazines, newspapers, tissue (glue to backing for durability), and lots of colored pencils. Almost anything works, and if your child is reasonably creative, the enclosed materials will serve as a springboard for using household items for further designs. The patterns are simple enough for kids to cut out and to use over and over, and kids find the dolls very attractive.

Recommended by a 12 year old. Bought by a 10 year old. If they have help in the beginning following directions, it provides hours of creative fun. Once fabric is gone, you can use paper, buy scrap material and additional adornments. They have a website where you can get ideas and print new patterns. It uses school glue and additional magnets can be found or purchased thru their website. I usually do not rate items, however, this one did not seem to have a fair rating. Perhaps, it is enjoyed more by older girls.
