Fashionistas Doll #229, Doll with Down Syndrome Wearing Heart-Print Dress, Created in Partnership with The National Down Syndrome Society

Absolutely LOVE this Barbie! You do Not need to give this doll exclusively to a Down Syndrome kid; it is for everyone. Beautiful braided hair doll which is hard to find among Barbies which often have choppy haircuts. Removable eye wear and a cute blue dress with symbolic meaning for those with Downs but also cute for anyone not familiar. This doll is a Full-figured Barbie with Flat feet which is important to know when looking for other fashions for this doll to wear. ("Traditional" Barbies have skinny body types and have pointed feet, so there are clothes and shoes that do Not work for the full-figured and/ or flat footed Barbies...and vice versa.) Unfortunately, Mattel does not do a good job of letting you know the body type or foot type which is a major pet-peeve of mine. Below are two of a decent number of outfits that DO work on this doll and others like her. Really pretty doll with gorgeous hair! Did I mention her hair? Seriously worth it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNWL92WB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B627Y28B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Bought as an angel tree gift. The recipient loved it.

Fine quality! A great way to support children with Down Syndrome!

When I purchased this doll, I didn't realize she has Downs Syndrome. I just wanted and inexpensive way to add some racial diversity to the zillion or so tall, blonde Barbies handed down from my sister and I and gifted by relatives. I looked at other black Barbies, and I chose this one because of her authentic look, confidence, and smile. Her shape is much more realistic than that of most Barbies. She's a little shorter, her breasts are smaller, thighs, seat and belly are a little wider than typical for Barbie, but she looks so REAL. She's absolutely GORGEOUS! I was initially a little concerned that none of the other Barbie's clothes would fit her, but I was happy to find that I could make most of our existing doll clothes work for her. Some of the really form-fitting clothes that I had to go with my '80s Barbies do not fit, but they don't fit many other modern-day Barbies either. Overall, this is an excellent purchase. My 6 and 8 year old don't know what Downs Syndrome is, and I would be extremely surprised if they even notice there's anything different about this doll that would suggest any kind of disability. If they do, it will provide a good opportunity to talk about diversity, but if they don't bring it up, I honestly probably won't even bother trying to explain it because I just don't think they'd really understand it at this point yet. To them (and to me) she is just another beautiful, lively, fun Barbie doll.

super cute! I don't want my barbies to all look the same. She is adorable and is a great addition to my diverse set of Barbies

This Barbie is wonderful!

I love my Fashionista Down Syndrome doll.. she’s perfect with my collection!

1st: LOVE IT. DOLL IS SUPER CUTE! LUV THE REPRESENTATION. however u want to check your dolls just in case, I have a defective one and the return window is closed😫 it's ok, just check the dolls soon as the come out the package .

Arrivata veloce con prime; È già seconda barbie che mi arriva in un cartone e dentro protetta con carta (finalmente Amazon ha capito che non si puó mandare barbie in semplice busta 😁) Lei è più bella che nella foto. Piccolo problema con occhiali che non le stanno perfettamente per via del naso più largo. Comunque con un po' di pazienza si puó mettere bene. Vestito carino ben fatto con dietro apertura/ chiusura con velcro. Skarpe carine ( stanno bene alle barbie curvy o tall (più alte di barbie standard 3cm) . Nella foto che allego si vede quanto è alto. La consiglio vivamente sia ai collezionisti che per bambini.Grazie.

Well made black doll with Down Syndrome and lovely braided hair. She’s beautiful.

Wunderschön

Ze is een dotje 💞💞💞💞

Es tal cual la foto, mi hija ama las muñecas de esta colección
