Headscratchers / Barbie: Princess Charm School

• How in the name of all things good did Blair, Hadley, and Isla make their new uniforms entirely out of the old uniforms Wickellia cut up? I'll buy that Hadley's jacket thing was made out of the inner lining from the waistcoats and that Blair's tie was made out of part of a vest, too, and her jacket lining is pretty clearly from the skirts. But pretty much everything else? There's no way ANYTHING Isla is wearing came from the school uniforms, and the same goes for the majority of Hadley's outfit and all of Blair's except the aforementioned lining on the lapels of her jacket, her shirt, and the buttons on her jacket. The same goes for Delancy. Five times I've watched this movie and I still don't get it.
  • Magic.
• Why does Princess Charm School have a cheerleading squad when they don't do sports?
  • According to the novelization◊, sports classes are included, but not seen in the movie, probably a Deleted Scene.
• The dog, if he was a puppy when Sophia was still an infant, would be nearing the end of his lifespan, but he still has the joints of a puppy. In the picture, he was at least 4 months old. Blair was 1 years old or less, which means the dog is at least 16 years 4 months old. The average lifespan of a golden retriever is 10-12 years. A miracle he's still alive.
  • Maybe it's a magical species?
  • As there have been records of dogs, even those of larger breeds, living for 20 years or longer (the oldest lived for 30 years and the oldest known Golden Retriever lived to 20 years), maybe Prince is one of those special pooches. He could've been taken care of exceptionally well that he was able to live past the average lifespan of his breed. This could also explain how he could still run and jump around at such an advanced age.
• If one assumes Blair is the sole breadwinner for her family, then who's taking care of their finances while she's at school? Sure, the end shows them apparently moving into the palace once her lineage is revealed, but that doesn't account for all the time she was attending classes.
  • it was only for a school year they probably had some money saved up (as most not well off families try to do sometimes )
• Since Blair is now the new monarch of Gardenia, wouldn’t she technically take on the title as Queen Sophia now and no longer be a princess?
