Ashley Graham’s Barbie

Sadly, they are not for sale…BOO!! Mattel. The doll, which Ashley helped designed, is two of a kind, there were only 2 made, one for Ashley and one for Mattel. We are hoping that all of the press that this is getting puts a little pressure on the toy company giant to actually mass produce them.

Ashley said: “All we did was take 360 degree photos of my body to send to them, and afterward we fleshed out some details. The color of my hair, a few details on my face like beauty marks and full eyebrows. The number one prerequisite, though, was that her thighs touched. I was like, ‘Guys, we can make this Barbie, but if her thighs don’t touch, she’s not authentic”.

Plus size model Ashley Graham gets her own Barbie, so cool! Congrats @theashleygraham @barbie #estrellafashionreport #ashleygraham #barbie

Congratulations Ashley!! 2016 was definitely your year but I honestly think that the best is yet to come.

Still pinching myself, thank you @glamourmag for such an honor! #glamourwoty

    Hoping Mattel follows through with making these available. I am starting to collect plus sized dolls and I would love to add this one to my collection.

      Yes, that would be great if they mass produce the Ashley Doll. I only have 1 of the plus size Barbies, but I’m looking forward to buying more. Thanks for stopping by!!
