Liberating 2005 Barbie Fashion Fever Wave U Christie

Hello 2020. I am continuing the doll liberation project initiated last October. The next doll to be freed from her box is Fashion Fever Christie from Wave U. Her outfit - at least the top - I don't like almost as much as I disliked the Benetton Christie's. The candy pink color with tepid purple ruched trim sleeves as well as the child-themed princess rendered this top totally unsuitable to a doll with her sophisticated dark lip color and streaked hair. Here she is in her original tube and re-dressed.

I am glad that I didn't sell this Christie.

I'm happy with both of these Christies. They are both "keepers." Any suggestions for future re-dressing ideas? Should I have put the tribal dress on the Benetton Christie?
