    This game was fun! Anyone remember waiting 100 years for the fashion show to render, printing out the clothes and peeling the glue dot stickers to put them together?

    I remember watching my sisters playing this lmao.
    One of the funniest things I remember is when you try to go on stage without putting anything on, and Barbie tells you "Sorry. You can't go on stage without clothes."

      From what I remember, you could send her out in just her underwear, but if you forgot her shoes she would say, "Don't forget my shoes!"

    I actually am watching this because I was joking with someone about how absolutely stoked and badass I thought the whole “rendering your outfit on the runway” was, but being like it probs looks like crap now. 11:08 proved me wrong, no lie I still think its frigging cutting edge seeing a “design” you picked walk the runway with a prerendered animation lmao, it REALLY doesnt look bad at all, I still feel the hype I did when I was 6 lol.
    Reading the comments, ppl are saying the render took forever, and I genuinely believe that, but I guess I was so excited I dont remember waiting. Knowing it was on a 1996 cd rom tho, I wouldnt bet any money on that composited “result” not taking 10-30 mins lol
    Still, its actually genuinely magical. Granted, 3d renders and realtime 3d was such a new thing back then, so to me its still incredibly interesting that this is doing some kind of customized catwalk for you. Even the little bit of cloth physics in the render- Damn.
    Edit: Seeing the shoes in the countdown actually did unearth a pang of irritation in me, I DO remember not seeing those shoes move at all for a VERY ALONG TIME. 😭

    This has me sobbing. I’m hit with full Barbie nostalgia after the movie and I used to love this game. I remember one day it got scratched or didn’t work with the newer version of windows and I could never play it again. I’d always put it in just to check if it magically fixed itself and got so disappointed every time. This game was the reason I wanted to design clothes my entire childhood. I never had the fabrics or was able to print anything, so I wonder if they got lost to time at some point. Thank you for sharing this!
    Edit: I just got to the shoe loading screen and now I’m crying again, that’s the part I remember the most somehow!!

    So many memories. You can tell back then very little effort was put into the game and even the cover "art." It's just a picture of a Barbie doll in front of a printer. Yet me and my bestie would play this for hours. I always thought the man in the audience during the fashion show on the far right looked creepy. And there's something so jarring about the fully rendered 3D Barbie and 2D people in the audience.

    ---------
    Quitting the application: The quit icon does not prompt you before
    quitting. Please note that the stop sign at the bottom of the left hand
    screen will immediately take you back into your system.
    A) THEME WORKSHOP
    B) DESIGN WORKSHOP
    C) ACCESSORY WORKSHOP: Skate pads for elbows that are available in the
    Vacation Fun theme accessories are not available in the Mix and Match
    accessories. This is also true of in-line skates and arm bands. In-line
    skates and ice skates do not appear in the 3D runway or preview screen.
    There is no firefighter hat in the accessory workshop.
    D) FABRIC DESIGN WORKSHOP
    E) COLOR WORKSHOP: Shoelaces can not be individually colored in the color
    workshop. The boot shoelaces will always become the same color as the shoe.
    F) DRESSING ROOM:
    G) RUNWAY: Barbie will always have the same hairstyle on the runway and in
    the dressing room regardless of the theme of her outfit.
    H) CLOSET: Please note that the entire closet is organized by theme. The
    display window will only reveal the outfits in the theme that is currently
    chosen. The reset button in the closet does not bring you back to where you
    were after you use the spotlight to reveal all the outfits in the closet.
    Leave the closet and return in order to enter outfits in individual theme
    categories again.
    I) PRINT WORKSHOP: Color printouts from the Epson Stylus II printer have
    unintended stripes over the solid color of any garment. Cleaning the print
    head will greatly improve the quality of printouts.
    J) PRINT PATTERN
    K) COLORING BOOK
    L) CREATING GARMENTS: Seam sticker adhesive residue on scissors can make
    cutting difficult. It is important that an adult clean safety scissors
    after each use.
    Section 2: INSTALL/UNINSTALL TIPS
    ---------
    Please note that there may be no icon displayed for Barbie Fashion Designer
    in your startup menu in Windows 95. A shortcut icon for your desktop can be
    created to allow for easy access. Look for this option in your install. The
    install does not support more than 8 characters for the directory name,
    even in Windows 95.
    1. If you have difficulty installing on a computer with a Diamond Speedstar
    Pro Video
    card under Windows 3.1 or 3.11, please change your video driver to
    Microsoft's(R) SuperVGA 640X480X256 color video driver. Check with the
    manufacturer or your systems vendor for updated drivers.
    2. Once you have installed BARBIE FASHION DESIGNER, make sure you uninstall
    it before installing it again on the same system.
    3. In Windows 95, the default directory name can only be changed to a name
    with 8 characters.
    Section 2: SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TIPS
    ---------
    These tips are designed to improve your overall system performance.
    A.) IMPROVE DISK ACCESS PERFORMANCE
    With MS-DOS 5.0 or older, you'll need to use a separate utility for disk
    optimization. If you're using MS-DOS 6.0 or newer, use the following steps
    to defragment and optimize your disk:
    1. Exit Windows. At the C:\ prompt, type "defrag C: /f" and press ENTER.
    This process will take a few minutes.
    2. Restart Windows and run the program.
    B.) INCREASE OR ADD SMARTDRIVE CACHE
    Change the SMARTDrive cache size to make more memory available. If you have
    more than 8 MB of RAM, skip this process.
    1. Go to the Program Manager.
    2. Select Run from the File menu.
    3. At the command box, type "sysedit" and click OK.
    4. The Sysedit window will appear. Click on the Autoexec.bat window to
    bring it to the front.
    5. Locate the line that shows smartdrv.exe and type in the appropriate size.
    If you have 8 MB of RAM, add 1024 1024. Your SMARTDrive setting should
    look like this: smartdrv.exe 1024 1024 (you have typed in 1024 1024).
    Note: Leave any other options on the smartdrv.exe line as they are set.
    For example:
    (before) smartdrv.exe /q (after) smartdrv.exe 1024 1024 /q
    6. If you've made changes, select Save from the File menu. 7. Select Exit
    from the File menu.
    8. Exit Windows and restart the computer.
    C.) SET UP VIRTUAL MEMORY
    (Note: If you are running any disk-compression software, refer to that
    software's manual or call the software manufacturer for assistance in
    setting up a permanent swap file.)
    1. Run Defrag as described above in Section 4-A.
    2. Double-click the Control Panel icon in the Main group.
    3. Double-click the 386 Enhanced icon in the Control Panel group.
    4. Click the Virtual Memory button on the right side.
    5. Make sure the current setting for Size is set to at least 6000 KB if you
    have 8 MB of RAM. Also make sure Type is set to Permanent. If these
    settings are not currently set, click the Change button.
    6. Under New Settings, make sure the Type is Permanent and the Size is set
    according to #5 above. The bigger the swap file size, the better
    performance you will have. We recommend setting the size to at least 8000
    KB (but not more than 16000 KB). This will improve your overall system
    performance.
    7. Click OK. Follow the prompt to restart Windows.
    D.) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FILE HANDLES
    Change the number of file handles available to DOS.
    1. Go to the Program Manager.
    2. Select Run from the File menu.
    3. At the command box, type "sysedit" and click OK.
    4. The Sysedit window will appear. Click on the Config.sys window to
    bring it to the front.
    5. Locate the line that shows "files=" and change the number of files to
    80. The line should now read:
    files=80
    6. If you've made changes, select Save from the File menu.
    7. Select Exit from the File menu.
    8. Exit Windows and restart the computer.

      I have a download link in the video description too in case you wanted to test it. I haven't tried it on Windows 10 but there's not much chance it will work since games from that era were usually 16 bit and can't be run on 64 bit Windows editions.
      The best way to play this game on a newer PC is using virtualisation software PCem to emulate Windows 95 or 98. But the software can be hard to work with if you have no technical knowledge.
      Another way could be to set up an older edition of Windows like Windows 7 in its 32 bit version inside of software like VirtualBox. There is a chance of this working too.

      you have to look at the bigger picture. it left a cultural impact because it forced video game companies to start marketing toward girls as well. it was enormously profitable (according to Wikipedia it sold more copies than Quake or Doom upon release...i'm sure part of that was due to Mattel's standing but still). And it embodies one of the principles of play that both the Video Game and Toy Hall of Fame emphasize...which is the role of creativity in play that develops a child's brain
