Recently, Mattel released its first wave of new Fashionista Barbies that include three new body types - petite, tall, and curvy. In this blog post, I have included comparisons of different Barbie bodies as well as some measurements.
From Left to Right: Petite, Tall, Curvy, Twist & Turn, and jointed regular Fashionista Barbie.
Curvy Barbie was definitely the doll flying off the shelves around here. More dolls are supposed to be released in May. From what I can tell, there will be four different dolls of each body type. Three boys are also in this wave. I did not purchase a regular Fashionista Barbie in this line; thus, my comparison is to a similar doll I already own.

Although none are pictured, there are several dolls who have flat feet. I did not see any separate fashions available in stores that specifically fit the petite, tall, and curvy types. Some of the face screening and fashions are not that great, but I did not have high expectations since they are playline dolls. I look forward to seeing OOAK dolls of the new body types.
Below are some approximate measurements of the doll types.
