Definitive Classics

Rose Bride Barbie 1996, Valentine Barbie 1997, Twirling Ballerina Barbie.

 

Out of all the bride dolls I have, I'd say the Rose one is the more disappointing of them all. The dress is nice but it's also quite stiff. The sewing of the tulle and the bulk of the front gives the skirt a lopsided, unbalanced look to it, with one side being much fuller than the other. Still, there's an elegance and class to her.

 

Valetine Barbie is truly lovely. There's not much else to say. She also has plastic snaps to her dress, which makes her fancier than the other two.

 

The Ballerina is, in the box, GORGEOUS. My copy, though, was loose and couldn't hold poses well. Still, when you look like that, you can get away with it.

 

I ultimately adore all three of these dolls, though. They fit nicely in the kingdom of Gardenia.
