“Sweater Dress” Barbie aka Simone

Apologies for the late posting today. I changed my volunteering day from Monday to Thursday and did not get around to taking new photos for this post yesterday as I normally do. Instead we have a rerun this week. Our Friday Girl is one of “The Look” dolls from 2016 and she was previously featured when I first got her. Since then you will have seen Simone in a couple of posts, most recently with boyfriend Maverick.

Once I decided to debox her Simone quickly became a favourite as she has beautiful eyes and is so nice to pose for photos. She is slightly hard to dress as she has wide hips and also because not all shoes fit her. In two of these photos she is wearing the full outfit from Corduroy Cool Barbie 1999 and the boots fit her just fine.

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. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. This is a favorite doll for me as well. She became a Twilight grown up daughter of Edward and Belle. Her outfit went to a damaged Brandy doll.Finnick is with my Tris doll. I like your couple. I think they both rock such diverse outfits/looks..I love the motorcycle pic..They look like a couple ready for adventure. Great blog.

  3. Simone looks great in all the outfits. I really like the Corduroy Cool Barbie outfit because of the purple tights. Too bad Mattel doesn’t offer colourful tights or leggings iin their fashion packs.

  5. Definitely a favorite of mine. I love her face and her hair and the sweater outfit, so modern and fashionable! I’ve always wanted this doll myself, but never found her at a decent price…and as time goes by she becomes even more valuable. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful doll in your images. I like that she has a boyfriend…so handsome!

    • They do make a handsome couple don’t they. I was lucky that Amazon had specials a couple of times and I was able to get her for a bit less. The prices for NRFB ones now are outrageous. I loved the sweater outfit too. Party dresses and gowns are lovely but I do like good streetwear.
