Advantages: excellent quality

Disadvantages: price if you brought new & the fact its limited edition

Self confessed Barbie lover since the age of 4. Anything barbie has to be in my bedroom. I even brought the limited edition Little Black Dress Barbie last year - yes I really should grow up soon! I was quite happy when I saw that Miss Selfridge had a range of Barbie tops and pyjamas.

This top was limited edition almost a year ago now, but it is still a favourite in my wardrobe (if you can find it through the mess). It could be worn casual or dressed up depending on what you pair it with.

The top cost me £18 when I brought it, but I am aware that it is on eBay now for a fraction of the price. As it is limited edition this is about the only place you are able to purchase it. I do think £18 is a bit much for a vest top, but your paying for the branding.

As you can see, the print on the front is quite large which I like as it means you can see it easier. The picture is of a city in black and white. There is a bright pink lipstick kiss in the corner with the wording 'Barbie In The City' also in pink. A barbie doll is printed over the Polaroid image and instead of being cartoon, its an actual doll which I liked. The Barbie looks quite summery in a pink dress and she has a copper coloured handbag. I love the dimensions to the image as it isn't just flat like some, its got a lot to look at.
The straps are quite thick and the vest is quite long on me (I'm 5ft3) but obviously if you are taller then it may not be as long. The neck is rounded and it comes quite low so I wear a bright pink layer top underneath (I don't want anything falling out!).

I tend to wear my vest with anything. I have worn it with denim shorts, bandeau skirt, jeans and leggings - it really depends on your individual style. I actually took mine up a little due to the fact it came so long on me and was more of a dress.

I have put my vest through the wash a number of times, following the instructions given and it is in perfect condition. I do not use my tumble dryer as I think it ruins clothes so I hang it on a dryer which keeps it looking good. There are no bobbles and the image on the front hasn't faded or cracked at all. Obviously if you do not look after the top then it will ruin easier.

If you can find one for sale on eBay or elsewhere online, it is well worth the buy. Its not the usual top you'd expect in a wardrobe. Its excellent quality and lasts for a long time!

Rated down a star for the price and the fact it was limited edition.

Summary: barbie fantastic!
