Fashion Design Studio

Let your future Vera Wang design her very own fashion line with the Fashion Design Studio ($35). The step-by-step guide to fashion illustration, sketchbook and swatch book are great for brainstorming designs, and the 3-D dressmaker form lets her fit fabrics just like top designers. Includes a white satin dress to get started; hanger and garment bag; 4 bolts of fabric; trims, faux fur fleece, sequins and crystals for embellishment; colored thread; scissors; tape measure; thimble; dress-maker’s pencil; pin cushion and straight pins; 2 sewing needles; and craft glue. Your little designer can bring her fashions from concept to creation, and make miniature masterpieces that are ready for the runway. Or for Barbie and her friends.
