Are Barbie Style dolls the same as Barbie Fashionista dolls?

[starlight36]

I'm hoping some Barbie experts can help me. DD has been bought a Barbie Style closet including clothes and shoes but we don't have a Barbie doll. All of the ones she likes the look of are Barbie Fashonistas. Will the Barbie Style clothes she has fit these dolls or do we need to track down a Barbie Style doll? Thanks in advance.

Oooh, this is like my specialist subject!
Barbie fashionista are roughly the same size, but there are some differences. The 2016 fashionistas have 4 different body types: original, petite, tall, and curvy. So normal barbie clothes fit with varying degrees of success, depending on style and body type. Also, some fashionista have flat feet, so wouldn't be able to wear high heel shoes.
Previous fashionistas (2015 and before) are just usual sized barbies so they should fit fine.
Does that help?!

Thank you. That is so helpful. Much more helpful than the Mattel website! We'll look out for the earlier 2015 styles.
