August - Red Carpet Ready

Oh my. Look at those flowers on this gown. Breathtaking.

And the doll is no different. 

Here is Spring Bouquet

Here is the deal. I scoured and poured through endless photos and this was the ONLY picture I could find of this gorgeous doll. She was made for the FAO Schwarz Barbie 2000 collection. I'm guessing I couldn't find any 'real' photos of her because she was priced at a whopping $8000. (!!)

But isn't she beautiful? It looks like hand stitched flowers on the dress. So so pretty.

Here is the excerpt from the fine print on the ad:

"From the Fashion Model Collection. Span the world for perfection and you'll find but one Spring Bouquet Barbie. Her magnificent strapless gown of ivory silk organza over ivory silk satin blooms with dense floral embroidery. Nesting pearls shimmer. Sprays of sequins twinkle. And a lavish ivory silk organza stole and ivory evening gloves demurely envelope this one-of-a-kind gem whose perennial beauty will always flourish."

Well friends, what do you think of Spring Bouquet Barbie? Want her in your collection (if it wasn't 8k?) Let me know in the comments below!

Next up, September 1st!
