shopping for barbie clothes

I'm speaking at the Alamo Brain Injury Symposium in San Antonio tomorrow. It's about cognitive prosthetics, so I figured I'd bring my four-foot one-legged Barbie as a prop. She'll look great from a distance, and her one-leggedness will serve as a useful aid to illustrate the central point of my talk. Only problem: she's naked! Now I'm off to buy her some clothes. Do I take her in to try the clothes on before I buy? Do I need to use a dressing room? If so, male or female dressing room?

This yellow terry bathrobe -- size 2T -- is perfect. Revealing enough to see her missing leg, yet tasteful. And it goes well with her hair. I wonder how this is gonna go down in San Antonio.
