A wonderful local lady made all of my hand crocheted cotton wedding dresses and bridal gowns for Barbie that I have listed on Ebay.  Each dress was a labor of love, spanning several months.  This is a sleeveless dress in a minimalist design.  Very beautiful in it's simplicity but not fancy like some of my other ones.  I'm still not selling it for a slave wage price.  The dress maker spent many hours meticulously and perfectly creating this dress which fits snug and has 3 invisible plastic snaps on the back to hold it on.  

The gown is longer than the doll so I had to lay her down and stand her in a vase to be able to picture the full length fall of the dress. The dress is about 10 inches long from top of chest to the bottom, and about 17 inches wide at the open span of the bottom flare of the skirt.   It fits snugly when snapped with the three invisible snaps on the back.   Barbie is now ready for a fabulous wedding! (it doesn't have to be her wedding. I recommend that she stay single. LOL).

This blonde Barbie has "Matel 1976" on the back of her head.  Her hair is amazing!  So much of it and so long. The dress-maker braided some of it.  This Barbie has knees that bend and a swivel waist.  Her arms and upper legs are regular one way rotation limbs.  The doll is included as part of this 2 piece lot so that you have one immediately to display the dress on.  She has been wearing this dress for a long time and I couldn't separate them.  She will arrive in the package wearing the dress. This is a one-of-a-kind hand made cotton dress.

This may be a  more rare Barbie than I know. I'm not a collector. I acquired all of my Barbie dolls and handmade gowns from a local family whose elderly aunt made wedding gowns.  She used the highest quality cotton thread in her work. We hope you love it and cherish it as much as the artist who made it did. No one else in the entire world will have this dress.  It is not for those on a budget. Thank you for your order(s).
