Let me tell you, this coloring book is a total hit with the tween crowd! I gifted it to my niece, and within minutes, she was sprawled on the floor, markers everywhere, completely absorbed in bringing these fashionable figures to life.

The first thing I noticed? The clever layout. Each right page features a trendy outfit design ready for coloring, while the left is blank – perfect for budding designers to sketch their own creations. My niece loved this feature, alternating between coloring pre-made outfits and inventing her own (with some... interesting pattern choices!).

Quality-wise, the pages are thick enough that markers don't bleed through – crucial when you're dealing with enthusiastic young artists. The fashion illustrations strike just the right balance: stylish enough to feel 'grown-up' but completely age-appropriate. No unrealistic body types here, just fun, modest outfits that actually look like what real tweens might wear.

The only minor drawback? At 55+ designs, some prolific colorists might breeze through it quickly. But at this price point, it's easy to buy a couple as backups for rainy days or car trips.

Seeing how much joy this simple book brought – watching my niece proudly show off her color combinations like a mini fashion designer – made it worth every penny. It's rare to find something that makes kids feel both creative and sophisticated at the same time.
