The white satin blouse is pretty good, the only issue I see is might not be as bright a white as originally. The hat is TLC, it does have the flower petals which haven't faded as badly as others I've seen, but the headband is broken.
The crystal necklace and snake bracelet are original beads, but they have both been re-strung. The white gloves are not hand stitched like the early versions, but they're still original Barbie. The shoes are a deep navy blue (not black).They don't have holes, so they are a later shoe, but they are free of splits and the left is marked Japan. The hatbox has the Barbie TM marking on the front and the handle is intact. It does show general wear overall and a previous owner has written there name on the inside. It also may have been re-glued at one time. I'm also including the display box that I currently have it in.
It's a reproduction box, but still displays well. The hatbox is in a separate bag since it didn't fit well in the box.This was a difficult set for me to arrange in the box, and if you don't like how I have it I included another pink backing behind the first one so you can rearrange it to however you want it. Please view all the pictures as I consider them part of the description. I try to describe items to the best of my ability and most of time they come from previous owners, so I rarely know their history. TERMS OF SALE: All my items are from a smoke free home.
