Formal Occasion
Here is an outfit that I am so thrilled to finally own. It is Barbie’s Formal Occasion #1697. This ensemble was only made for one year, 1967. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it as I had only ever seen it in photographs. The fabric of the cape was not what I expected. I don’t know why, but I had always assumed it was made from that same gold lamé fabric that tends to turn more silver, the fabric used on the fabulous Mod outfit “Intrigue”. It turns out it is actually a gold Brocade fabric, with a very subtle wavy pattern that tends to get lost when photographing. The crepe fabric of the dress is also amazing, and that gold embroidery is so beautiful. I was thrilled to find this near Mint, and at a bargain. Modeling this beautiful outfit is my newest Titian Side Part. She arrived from Canada a few months ago, but I never got around to photographing her.
