A strapless Barbie doll gown that makes her look like a southern belle in peach with a sinamay hat.

This Barbie strapless evening gown makes her look like the southern belle of the ball. It is made from a fresh peach color satin decorated with either small shadowed dots as shown or printed in small white dots, depending on fabric availability. The skirt is circular and is trimmed in lace at the bodice and hem. A net slip goes underneath to show off the skirt's fullness. Completing the look is a sinamay hat trimmed in peach ribbon and a rosette, for that southern belle effect. Lace trim may vary due to availability.

Now all Barbie needs is her special gentleman to sit with her under a tree and enjoy a picnic lunch. Barbie is a little more faithful to her man than Scarlett O'Hara was, so she will be waiting for Ken to show up. But she does enjoy a little harmless flirting with the other handsome men at the picnic.

If you enjoy the gentler times of the old South and the Southern belle look for your Barbie gown, this would make a nice indulgence for yourself or your favorite child or adult collector. I have had both kinds of Barbie collectors purchase this gown. It's perfect for little girls because it's strapless and very easy for even the youngest child to put her Barbie doll gown on her doll. Adults like it because it's so nice and full and has the dainty little hat that goes with it.

Your Barbie Southern belle gown in peach satin will arrive with tissue paper packed under the skirt to minimize wrinkles. However, it is very easy to get any travel wrinkles out of it by pressing it on the wrong side, using medium steam and a pressing cloth.

As always, please allow 1-2 weeks from the time you order especially in the busy season which starts in late October. Thanks so much for your understanding!
