I've been picking up these different body type Barbies and have found that the Petite body style is much like that of a young teen.

This a petite Barbie. She has a face mold that has been used over and over again on the Standard Barbie  it is not specifically sized for her smaller frame. She is much shorter and is proportionately smaller in many areas. Her hands, legs, body, etc. all fit with her new height. The only problem is that with the new size doll, it is difficult to find clothes that fit.  That is why this type of set, with three outfits, is a good value for anyone who likes the Petite doll.

This Barbie comes with dark brown, hip length hair. The hair is combed back with a center part and does not contain stiffening product  My personal doll does not have the seeping glue-head that others have mentioned (though I understand it can become an issue with all Mattel dolls over time). Her eyes are two-tone blue. Her skin is fair and her lips are a neutral light pink. Her brows are a lighter brown than her hair and are painted on as are her eyelashes. No nail polish.

There are three outfits included in this set.  All pieces close with hook and loop at the back.  All of the accessories are plastic.

Short red skirt (thin, shiny, non-stretch, polyester fabric with all details printed on.  This is paired with a pink, stretchy t-shirt material sleeveless top with white triangle print, a black hat, black, high-heeled boots, and (oddly) a beige shoulder bag.  I would much preferred a black handbag given the colors in this set but the beige one is okay.

Red short dress in a non-stretch material.  It has white polka dot print and a shimmery glitter over spray.  The neckline is asymmetrical with one short sleeve on the right and sleeveless on the left.  There is also an asymmetrical cutout on the right side waist (front and back).)  There is a cute red lip-shaped wristlet bag and red high-heeled platform shoes with ankle straps.

Light denim color mid-calf skirt.  This has a fake hem at the bottom and the fabric is slightly ragged at the edge. This is a shame as most of my other clothes have real hems.  I would think that over time, this fake hem area would fray as it is not turned over or over-stitched.  If I could give a 4.5 because of this issue, I would but as I cannot, I will round up to a 5. The skirt material is the same thin, non-stretch, polyester fabric as the other skirt.  The front of the skirt has an open v-shaped kick pleat  I think this is the reason for the fake hem as it would take some effort to do a proper hem on this cutout.  The top is a white t-shirt with short sleeves, red thread detail and the Love pizza print.  The print is intentionally worn looking.

For fun, I tried the clothes on the other Barbie bodies.  Curvy, as expected, pretty much failed on all points (except the short red skirt and that was tight and really much too short.  Standard and Tall Barbies could wear the shirts as crop tops, the long skirt fit both well and the short skirt fit but was way too short on Tall Barbie.  The accessories all fit with the exception of the shoes and the red dress did not fit any other body still properly.

Her entire body is proportionate to her shorter height, so everything is on a more petite scale. Her legs appear hollow and do not bend except at the hips. Her feet are arched (rather than the new flat foot style) and seem to be the same size as that of a Standard Barbie's arched feet. Her left arm is bent and her right arm is straight with the palm pointing down. Her fingers are separated for the most part with only the third and fourth fingers fused together. She is a good half-head shorter than a regular Barbie and a full head shorter than the new tall Barbie.

Hopefully, Mattel will make clothing packs for these new dolls. I like the doll with outfit series but want to simply buy the clothes as well.

She is a great budget doll.  Can suck her thumb.  Outfit is sewn into her body.  I would recommend picking up a few outfits for her too.

This is a beautiful doll.  It arrived quickly, as is Amazon's wont.  She was in her original packaging and in perfect condition.  I'm very pleased with her with the exception of her hair.  (That's why I gave her the 4 stars.)  It's stiff and choppy, being many lengths.  Her bangs stick out and her hair isn't compatible with a pony tail and other styles. So---I've shaved her head and have replaced her hair with a very lovely wig that I purchased through ebay.  It is soft, silky, and stylable.

If the hair isn't important to you, by all means buy her.  She has a very posable body, including her ankles.  I've been knitting pants and a sweater for her as well as for the other dolls I've just purchased.  I'll be sewing for them tomorrow.  She has a lovely face.  My 5-month-old granddaughter will enjoy her one day--a long time from now!  She should have quite a wardrobe by then!

this doll is a perfect replica of Merida and is a wonderful toy . My Granddaughter loves it! This toy has bendable arms and legs so she is able to play with it a bit more freely then other "barbie" type dolls.

Cute doll with smooth joins. Clothing is made well and hair can really take a beating and then be made neat again!

This doll is made of high quality material and is very life like, which my granddaughter really likes. The pajamas are easy to remove, as is the diaper, which are great for those chubby little hands to work with.  It is also a durable doll, which is great because my granddaughter drags it behind her as she goes to her tea parties!  LOL!

This doll is almost perfect and works about it works so well that the good totally overshadows the minor problems.

Problems first: With the awesome new line of Barbies that Mattel has been coming out with lately it's almost jarring now to see a doll this skinny. Her ribs are showing in this body mold and she has stick arms and legs. Not my favorite look on a doll. The other complaint is there is no way under this yellow sun that those shoes are ever going to stay on this or any other doll's feet. Not in a million years.

That being said, everything else about this doll is perfect (and the body type might also have been a choice made to accommodate the thicker fabrics used here). The outfit is beautifully crafted with quality fabrics. The stiff tulle skirt is high quality and the colors of the outfit and doll all blend together perfectly. The face paint on this doll is unique and very delicate and the hair is very soft and nicely styled.

The accessories are stupid, but that's isn't anything new. I do think the little picture frame is funny though. The picture in it looks like Barbie went to brunch with her super-uptight former sorority sister to "catch up" and snapped a perfunctory pic to post on Instagram later. Barbie basic indeed.

Remember Dressy Bessie?  This is very similar.  I like this doll a lot.  It is machine washable and has lots of activities for the child to do.  I like that they included a clip that will allow it to be attached to a diaper bag,  No child has ever carried their toy with them for the entire outing!  I'm glad Playskool recognizes this.  They've been around long enough, so they should have this down pretty well - and they do!

I bought this for my girlfriend (she loves these)

I ordered this at amazon and the delivery arrived early! one day before the actual date.i like that

First off,if you will be buying it for your kid,help her with the removal if the toy from the box.there are a lot of tapes and cable ties to keep it from moving.many sharp plastic covers and wire.be careful

The toy itself is well made.hard durable plastic.the details are great.the dress is nice and the dog with bit off ear is cute.

It has a free poster inside

The head is heavy which may be half of the total weight of the doll.its heavy so the head tends to tilt adding to its cuteness.

Overall since this is my first to buy this,i rate it as a 5/5 and a must have so i have heard.

This is also one of the latest models in the lalaloopsy dolls

Good doll at good price! Thank you! The best thing is that the doll has inserted eyes and jointed arms and legs.

While she is amazingly adorable her hair and breathing leave something to be desired. My daughter who has two Younger brothers was wanting a baby girl to be able to take care of that was more realistic than her usual baby dolls. This is the perfect starter reborn. Her legs are in a bit of an odd position unless your going to be holding her all the time on her back. Her limbs are also a tad bit sticky

The doll looks well made and very sweet. She does not resemble the picture posted. She does feel and weigh like a real baby. The doll came with some dirt on her leg as if she had been dropped but no damage on the doll. I was not very happy at first but the doll is very pretty and has grown on me quite a bit. My daughter will love her for her 6th birthday. Im very excited after all i believe it is a good buy for the cost

My daughter loves to play with this doll, I would say that it's one of her favorites. It's definitely worth the money.

My granddaughter was delighted - and I admit this is a doll that is very pretty in the face.  She moves a lot, thank to all of her joints, but she seems a bit on the under-accessorized side.  She can't be posed to stand and her clothes on top are actually part of the plastic mold.  She's a sweet pretty thing but not produced to last.  We do like the shoes.
