REVIEW: Dream Besties Daisy



I was originally not going to do this review. I took the boxed pic and profile pic, but then wanted her out of this mess immediately. 


I hate this outfit. I hate the blousy white top with its high neck that sits the same location as her necklace. I hate the utterly unflattering "crochet" dress and how it gives her no waist. 


I don't dislike the boots. They're cute. The accessories are also pretty cute, but not stuff I wanted to keep on her. 


Daisy, your fave color is gold. You are wearing zero gold. Why? Why even have this as a personality tidbit if you're just going to go against it?


I refuse to call her Daisy Jean. She was never Jean before, was she? They're just trying for some cutesy DJ Dad joke and no. Absolutely not. 

My initial plan for her was to actually keep the crochet dress but find a smaller top to put underneath. Preferably a tube top or cropped tee that would be more form-fitting. Then I was going to belt the dress, which is honestly a cute pattern, to give it a waist. However, I couldn't find a top I liked and I did find this freakin' adorable romper I've had in my clothing box for years. I can't remember who it came with, and I'm not the biggest fan of rompers, but I love the colors on this one. 


I had a lot of trouble with shoes! I didn't redress my other Besties. Do they all have bigger feet? She can't wear any shoes from my Barbie stash. I think these are LIV heels, but I can't remember for sure. 



Here she is with the Fashionista she reminds me of. I was initially unhappy with the lighter pink hair, but now she reminds me of this doll and I'm here for that. 



I do like Daisy's phone, so she's keeping that.


So this is the reason I did the review. 

Daisy cannot sit. 

Well, she can, but it's like this. 

Granted, I was going to keep her standing anyway, but I feel it's important to share a doll's poseability limitations, and that's why I opted to do this review, even though I've shown so little of the doll's stock. 



Overall, I love this doll once she's out of her stock. I think she's incredibly cute, and her body shape is nice, despite the inability to sit. I hope they come out with some outfits for these, because we desperately need more shoe options. This isn't exactly what I had in mind for her restyle, but I like it regardless. I imagine her twirling her little braid while checking her texts from several potential girlfriends. 

I'm excited for Ken! Amazon is saying early December for him. I might rewatch Life in the Dreamhouse, because that's the Ken I have in mind for him.

  1. The Dream Besties line is quickly becoming my second fave Mattel Doll line, these dolls are adorable. But yeah, that outfit did not do her any favors and it's a pity she can't properly sit. I mean I can see the humor in a doll sitting all... improper like that, but I'm also aware that it's not on purpose and that it's sloppy construction.
    Still, if I see her I might just buy her and put her in some of my own spare dollie clothes.
