    Description

    Barbie had a beautiful, unusual gown for her December wedding in the Mod Era,
    Winter Wedding!
    This gown has Renaissance styled lines, and uses an ivory brocade fabric trimmed with real fur.
    Winter Wedding is in Excellent and Complete condition, including the gown, headpiece with veil, 5 bud bouquet, and white pilgrim shoes.
    This outfit would look great in a holiday doll display, since the ivory brocade and fur are evocative of a Frozen wedding;)  Winter Wedding is in wonderful condition, as the gown and headpiece are quite clean, and the bouquet has all of its buds.  This outfit looks great on brunette Flip TNT Barbies, as their flip looks nice curling out from the headpiece.
    Please note that I can ship this to US customers only, as the real fur on this vintage item might be confiscated when it goes through customs, and I can't be responsible for that:(
    I don't grade anything as "Mint" unless I have just taken it out of its original packaging.
    I have collected vintage Barbie for 30+ years, and I scrutinize items I sell on eBay.  If you have a question that my description hasn't answered, please ask me:).   I am selling a large collection of vintage Barbie on eBay, so you may want to save me as a seller.
    The gown is very clean overall, and the dress' bodice has nice soft fur at the neckline.  The gown is a nice, light ivory color.  Please note there is a dark piece of thread at the center hem in the main pic, it is not soil or a stain.  The 2 hook and eye closures at the back of the gown are intact.  The pleated pieces of fabric at the back of the top were coming unstitched a little, so I have restitched them to the bodice, see pic #5 for a close-up view.  The headpiece with veil is also in great shape; I don't see any tears or holes in the veil.  The net part of the veil looks slightly aged in color; it is an off white color.  The fur at the front of the headpiece looks good, though the fur length seems slightly shorter on the left side of the headpiece, see pic #3.  The headpiece does stretch open in front a bit.  The headpiece's fabric seems very slightly darker in color than the gown, but I think this is because of the gathering at the headpiece front, and how the fur is attached to the fabric there.  The bouquet has pretty lace surrounding 5 pink buds, and 2 ribbon streamers.  The buds and lace are in great shape, though I do see 2 small spots on the upper part of one ribbon streamer, see pic #4.  The spots aren't very noticeable there, though you could use a bleach pen on the ribbon if you like.  The white pilgrim shoes are marked Taiwan on the bottom; they don't have any cracks or splits.
    Winter Wedding
    will look stunning on your favorite Barbie!  See my other auctions for more vintage Barbie & Francie outfits, vintage Barbie doll and Pak clothing lots, and for other vintage toys from the '50s - '70s.  I'm happy to combine shipping charges for multiple purchases:)
