Review: 1998 Holiday Barbie 1930's themed - Very nicely done.
Review: Post WWII Christmas - This Hallmark presentation from the Holiday Homecoming Series is a little disappointing in its presentation. While the box is a nice display cover it lacks the background that the others in the series had. This background is a simple red box. This doll is representing the late 40's era. The facing page does show a floor standing radio from that period while Barbie sits on an overstuffed tufted back pink sofa with boxed surround pleats. There is a wall sconce in the background. Barbie dances to a "big band" in a stylistic floor length evening gown of evergreen taffeta. Dress is slightly gathered at waist with a boxed pleat in the front. Bodice is covered with black lace decollete. Wide satin sash waist is gathered in front with a poinsettia and silvered ribbon. Barbie wears a long mutton sleeved bolero jacket trimmed in the tinniest red cording at the edge. The hair-do and make-up are very reflective of the period. Barbie's bangs are rolled in a tight rolled back curl and her long golden blonde page-boy is swept up and pulled back from her face, then gathered in a lace snood with matching poinsettia trim of waist corsage. Barbie's makeup reveals light fine-lined brow line with deep full red lipstick and a beauty mark placed high on the cheek bone. She wears small gold button earrings. Her shoes are black platformed heels with straps.
