Meet the Cover-up Girl

All Middle Eastern countries are considered to have modest and conservative Muslim women residing in it. Barbie, although adored and loved by almost every corners of the world, she has remained criticized, unloved and seen as a threat to traditions and beliefs of the Arab countries even up until the present.

Arab Parents Preference
Like any other concerned parent, they would always want to provide the best for their children. That would include buying their kids toys to entertain them during their play time. However, the concern of the parent doesn’t end there because a big part of the worry would still remain with how their children are influenced with their “toy friend”.

A toy’s ability to alter kids’ perception shouldn’t be underestimated. These Arab parents recognized that very well and so when Barbie has taken its place on the toy racks, they were kind of hesitant. Until recently during the 2003, the Fulla dolls were introduced.

The conservative and modest fashion doll donned a hijab and a traditional abaya. A hijab is a headscarf while a traditional abaya is actually a long black dress with long sleeves and is worn over clothes. Its debut has banished the fear of thousands of parents of buying their children dolls. Many children became obsessed with Fulla. Along with her traditional dress and hijab comes a pink praying mat which she uses when praying during bedtime after reading her Koran.

Not a boring Fashion Doll
What is really exciting about the Fulla is that behind her modesty is a fashionable and also sociable doll. It is really surprising to know that even if Fulla is conservative she still has a wide array of fashionable garments and clothes. Aside from that, she wears color coordinated dresses and accessories to make dressing up plays even more fun.

Her outfits are never just limited to traditional Muslim dresses as she is also a woman of the modern world that reflects other outside influences but is still able to keep her traditions and culture at heart.

Fulla is a must buy
Fulla is then further intensified and improved by having indoor costumes that would really entice kids and parents to buy her. Also her outfits are colorful and it seems that she is so lovely to look at that she becomes irresistible to anyone.

Fulla’s height is in between 11- 11 ½ inches and she dons a long black hair that also has burgundy streaks on it. She looks really demure with her eyelashes having been placed with a moderate amount of mascara just enough to put emphasis on her large hazel eyes. Her lips are delicate looking with a fuchsia tint.

Fulla is a fashionable doll but it takes more than outfits and great hair and wide tantalizing eyes. She has a strong character that is ready to take on the future and her influence has taken everyone by storm. Fulla is a must buy because you will truly get your moneys worth back unlike other dolls out there.
