Fashion Fever Closets – Part Ten – Zebra Stripes Closet


Welcome back to my series of posts on Fashion Fever Fashions. This one is labelled Glam Getaway but I have always called it “The Zebra Closet’ It is another closet which I like despite it having a lot of “Barbie Pink” in it. I think the pink contrasts well with the black and I like the versatility of it too.You can really ring the changes with the pieces in this closet. Mattel must have thought so too because they released a couple more pieces that match well with this closet later.

The Models:

  • Rebecca – Fashion Fever Barbie Wave A
  • Sharon – Fashion Fever Summer 2008
  • Brittany – Teresa circa 2003
  • Ruby – Black Basics #03
  • Style Barbie 2015
  • Joanne – Denim Basics Barbie #11
  • Jayne – Fashion Fever Barbie Wave K

When I came to find photos for this shoot I found that I had photographed several of the girls wearing the zebra stripe dress so I thought that it would be fun to show you how it looks on different body types. As we haven’t done this for a while I have included more pictures than I usually do for the Closet Series Posts. First here are Joanne, Sharon and Rebecca.

Next we have Brittany who has the regular Fashion Fever body type. She is wearing the skirt with the white T-shirt and “leather” jacket. Brittany’s shoes are the ones from the closet. My pink and black couch which is really a jewellery box makes a great prop for this Closet.

Ruby is next with the beige pants, pink top and trendy bag and sunglasses. I’m not sure if these are the correct silver shoes for the outfit but they fit her. I was surprised to find that the pants were an excellent fit on Ruby. I could not get them on Brittany who must have wider hips than the later Fashion Fever girls. The length looks good on Ruby too. Ruby likes this outfit so much that she would not part with it.

My recently purchased and as yet unnamed Style Barbie is wearing the cropped pants and zebra striped top. Her shoes are her own and I think her black heels might have looked better with this outfit but I was going for a casual look. All the pieces fit her quite well.

Last of all here is Jayne who is wearing an outfit that is not part of the Zebra Stripe Closet but was issued separately. This was taken at my sister’s house when she still had her 1:6 scale bar set up. I used to take a lot of photos there. I think it is a Bratz Milk Bar.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. My current housemates are Cindy, my 14-year-old Staffy-Lab X dog and Polly the world's most unsociable cat who is seven.

    • Thanks I”ll take a look. I take a lot of my fashion doll pictures inside my Barbie house which has nice graphics and used to take a lot at my sisters house as she has a lot of props. I do have a few but sometimes I prefer the relatively bare background of the cube.

      • She has some interesting suggestions, so I thought that if you were in the mood to try something different, it was a good place to learn something new.

      • I just went and read it. Really interesting and I’m certainly going to try out some of her ideas. I used to prefer to do my doll photos just in the doll room and not clutter up the whole house with my hobby but I’ll probably be a bit more experimental now and dolls and photography are good therapy when you feel down.
