Sometimes we play together and design clothes for each other. Overall, Ubisoft’s Imagine Fashion Life 3DS has been fun for Sophia. We have to choose a different combination of fabrics and repeat the process.

Sometimes we go through the entire process and are told the design was not satisfactory. I can tell she gets bored at this because she asks me to play for her. For each design, she has activities she has to complete within a certain amount of time: tracing dotted lines to represent cutting or sewing and ironing. The “fashion designing” part of the is a bit repetitive. She can also try out the other careers if she choose. Sophia has to juggle friends, career, and shopping. I like that there’s no talk about boys (so far).Īs a parent, I’m impressed with the depth of play in Imagine Fashion Life. When her friend is happy, she adds to her friendship meter. They go have coffee or tea and chat about fashion, trends, pop culture and more. So far, Sophia’s favorite part is hanging out with other characters in the game. For each garment she designs, she earns diamonds in which she can use to purchase clothing, accessories, or gifts. Since it’s a game, there’s no actual sewing involved, but she gets a chance to create new designs by pairing fabrics/colors. It’s kind of like Project Runway without the drama and backstabbing (whew!). I only wished that my career counseling was that easy! As a budding fashion designer, Kimmy (played by Sophia) enters a contest for a chance to work at a design house.

Sophia chose fashion designer, again no surprise there. Once we customized her avatar, the game offered a quiz to help us figure out our career path.

(Yes, she named it after me.) There are options to change the hairstyle and hair color, though Sophia was disappointed that the black hair was really just black hair with a bunch of brown highlights.

Not surprisingly, she chose a pink dress and pink make-up for Kimmy, her game avatar. When she played the game for the first time, Sophia was able to customize her own avatar. In Imagine Fashion Life, Sophia has a chance to try a new career: fashion designer, model, or mall owner. Little brother was hovering even though he had no idea what was going on. She and I sat down for some mother daughter time to play with the game on our Nintendo 3DS. That’s why games like Ubisoft’s Imagine Fashion Life is great for Sophia. She also loves accessorizing and putting together her own outfits. She would love to wear make up outside the home, but I think 7 years old is way too young for anything besides clear lip gloss. I stopped fighting long ago and embraced it.
