Redress Success featuring Naia (Barbie Fairytopia Sparkle Fairy blue)

Treesa here to show off another Redress Success. This Disney ily 4EVER Moana inspired fashion pack suited Naia so well, I just had to share her with all of you. The touches of blue in the outfit really compliment Naia’s pale blue skin tone and blue lipstick. I think my fondness for dolls with ‘fantasy skin tones’ developed as an offshoot of my fondness for dolls with ‘fantasy hair colors’. Anyway, the combination of Naia’s blue skin tone with the “Save Our Oceans” message on the hoodie kind of reminds me of the first generation version of Monster High character Lagoona Blue. Actually, the name Naia is a derivative of the name for a type of water nymph from Greek mythology.

For those of you who may be wondering for clothing fitting purposes, Naia has a ‘belly button style’ Barbie body from the early 2000s. The fashion pack fits amazingly well. However, the fabric does have some good stretch to it, and hoodies are generally designed to be a little roomy anyway. Therefore, I cannot verify whether all Disney ily 4EVER fashion packs will fit a ‘belly button’ Barbie this well, since I don’t own any of the other ily 4EVER fashions, or any of the corresponding dolls for that matter. I only took a chance on the Moana inspired fashion because I found it discounted to $3.00 at a liquidation store.

I’m very happy with how Naia looks in this. It can be tricky to redress a doll with a ‘fantasy skin tone’ in casual clothing without the end result looking odd. I hope all of you enjoyed this Redress Success, and have a lovely day.
