Amen! I also hate the ones that have a cute fabric up front and then a plain stretch knit at the back to accommodate the various sizes.

BTW, I bought a holiday Barbie dress off ebay and am slowly bedazzling it to go on my redhead Scottish girl, mostly because I didn't like her leather and plaid dress very much.

I agree with specific outfits for specific bodies. The only time I like it when Petite's pants are too long is when we're twinning, lol. There are real life Curvy fashions that I'd love to see, Mad Gallica but a bit less décolletage is totally Barbie and The Rockers, and they could do it if they weren't lazy.

But if it's going to be one size stretch fits most then at least give us more average looking things we can mix up. I bought all the Ken joggers I could get my hands on so they could have casual non tuxedo or plasticy Khakis. Pajamas and lounge wear would be nice, I was tempted to get the comfy princess outfits.

My favorite fashion packs these days are the Disney ILU4ever 11" dolls. So many cute things. I wish they fit Barbie better.

Yep. Although, some of the stuff fits curvy Barbie better than actual Barbie clothes, and it makes me so happy. I only have a few curvy gals, but I'm always glad to have cute clothes for them that actually FIT. The classic, tall, and petite girls can all share my massive boxes of 2000s era clothes, but the curvy girl's have trouble with anything that doesn't stretch.
