Fashion Design Studio

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas as she has decided she wants to be a Fashion Designer when she grows up. The kit say's recommended for age 10 and up, but I thought she's close enough and wanted to give her a few different design kits to try out. This one she really liked, however she played with it for one day and I can see it will probably be the one that sits and never gets touched again. It was very difficult for her to put together an actual dress. I think what she ended up creating was mostly "capes" and "shawls". I would definately say this is a kit that is best for age's 11 and up or with kids with a little bit more experience in actual sewing.

I bought this for my 10y/o daughter after she began redesigning her Barbie clothing. She loves it and had a new outfit for her doll created this first day. I highly recommend it!

We wanted to give our little girl (10yrs) an idea of what is actually involved in designing fashion. This is perfect. It comes with a realistic fitting bust and fabric. It also comes with a sketch book, pins, and glue. She loves it and has fun trying to design trendy fashions. Definitely would say it it for older children due to the pinning involved. I also think we will have to get her a beginner sewing machine.But it is tons of fun. We paid $30 for it, so try searching don't overpay. It is cute.

My 11-year old, a big fan of Project Runway, spotted this in Highlights toy magazine and wanted it. She is really enjoying it, but it does require patience on her part and supervision on mine. I don't know if Amazon will print my review, but I gotta tell ya, their price for the exact same product (listed as $199 on 12/22/08) is almost 5 times the amount we paid. Like mama said, better shop around!

My 8 year old daughter enjoys this! I purchased this because she is also taking a fashion class. she has spent hours creating!
