Right before Thanksgiving I was able to get my sweaty little mitts on a coupon for $5 off Barbie merchandise at Target. I went there to look, and it turns out their Tim Gunn Collection items were already discounted $5 off. I used the coupon to get this Tim Gunn Barbie outfit for a full $10 discount.
Smug with my purchase, I went home and tried the outfit on my Poppy Parkers. It fits perfectly!
A quick review of the outfit: The inside seams are not finished (typical Mattel) but the outside of the garment is actually pretty detailed and nice-looking. The shirt and skirt both close with snaps, which is a plus. Overall, a very nice find, particularly for $10 off.
The outfit came with the eyeglasses shown in the photo (nice!), as well as a cute little cup of coffee scaled to 12" dolls. I should have taken pics of the coffee. ... Sorry I didn't.
Here I've modeled the outfit on "I Love How You Love Me" Poppy Parker.
By the way, I'm not sure the sale is still on at Target. I got this outfit a week ago and the sale may have been taken down by now. Not sure, though. You can always call up your local Target and ask, I suppose.
I really think Mattel got it right with this outfit! It is one of my favorites from last year.
