Description:
Who but Barbie could look even better on her 40th anniversary that on her first debut? 1959 meets 1999 as Barbie doll dons a black flock bodice shimmering with silver glitter nostalgically reminiscent of her original 1959 striped-patter bathing suit. Her slim silhouette gown of black organza spills to a delicate tulip hemline. An illusion neckline of sheer black and daring dangly earrings offset her soft French twist and exqusititely charming face. Adding a dynamic touch to celebrate her 40th anniversary is a bountiful bouquet of 40 pink "roses," which she gracefully holds in her arms that are covered in sheer black opera-length gloves. A miniature replica of the original 1959 doll and package are included.
