DAZZLING IN EVERY WAY
The ensemble Barbie wears is a tribute to the timeless beauty of crystal. Made of soft white chiffon, her long, slim gown is lavishly encrusted with beading and large and small cut crystals. Over two hundred and fifty dazzling Swarovski® crystals, in sapphire blue, clear, and aquamarine colors, are sewn on her gown by hand, creating a blaze of sparkle. Thousands of delicate bugle beads are handsewn in a vermicelli pattern to add richness and shimmer. For added drama, Barbie® doll’s fully lined skirt has a high slit in front and train in back. With spike heels, the effect is spectacular.
Complementing the exquisite gown is a striking full-length white satin opera coat, with generous turned back sleeves and long train, fully lined in pale blue. An exaggerated collar frames her beautiful face.
Her long, blonde hair is swept up and crowned with a dazzling tiara of sapphire blue and clear Swarovski® crystals. Drop earrings with Swarovski® crystals and faux pearls echo the colors in her tiara. Her elaborate necklace has over thirty sapphire blue and clear crystals.
Everything about Crystal Jubilee™ Barbie® emits elegance, feeling, and beauty of crystal. What a perfect way to celebrate Barbie doll’s 40th anniversary!”
