The Good: Elegant, shimmery, snowflake-themed gown is both
festive and stylish
The Bad: Shoes not as elegant as the dress
In a Nutshell: Fans and collectors of Holiday Barbies will be
proud to add this Barbie to their collection At a Glance
Ages: 6 and up
Barbie Shines for the Holiday Season
This is essentially the same, sturdy Barbie we all know and
love, but she's beautifully decked out for the holidays. The only
assembly required is putting her stand together. Though Barbie's
gown looks delicate, with it's gauzy, snowflake-embroidered
bodice and silver skirt, the material is tough and durable. Her
long, dangly earrings, however, could see some damage during
over-enthusiastic play with small hands. But they're removable,
so you can take them out if you think your girl might lose or
break them.
Living in a Winter Wonderland
The holiday Barbies are all about wintry elegance and style, and
the 2008 doll is no exception. Barbie's sophisticated holiday
hairdo cascades down her back in a mass of curls tied slightly to
the side. The sheer bodice of her gown--the same one she wears in
the "Barbie in a Christmas Carol" DVD-- is embroidered with
shimmery snowflakes that match the silver of the tiered, pleated
skirt.
A gauzy sash wraps around her waist and floats down the front of
the gown. White slingback heels complete Holiday Barbie's
breathtaking ensemble. For those who like to keep Barbie in her
packaging, the 2008 design doesn't disappoint: a red foil
background is decorated with ornaments and 3-D snowflakes
suspended in midair.
Little Touches Make Barbie Fabulous
We love the little touches on this Holiday Barbie, like the
painted red nails that match her lipstick, the ultra-thick
lashes, and the drop earrings that dangle down past her
shoulders. We also like the snowflakes that shimmer lightly on
her dress as if they've just fallen from the sky. Her right arm
is cocked permanently at the elbow so it looks like she's waving.
You can also turn this arm so her hand is on her hip.
We could imagine however, that little girls might wish to bend
the elbow into a normal position from time to time. And while
Barbie's holiday gown manages to be both stunning and durable,
her shoes are functional white plastic that don't really live up
to the rest of the outfit (plus they're hard to put on).
Fortunately, the shoes are hidden by the long dress. Overall, we
think Barbie collectors and little girls alike will be thrilled
to add this cooly fabulous 2008 Holiday Barbie to their
collection.
