The Set is Complete

I'm back. Did you miss me? Just kidding. :)

So you might be asking "what set is complete?" Remember in previous posts that I had a set of beautiful gowns that I received as a Christmas present from my parents when I was a child. These were purchased at Costco and are not Genuine Barbie fashions. But they are so pretty and I just had to put them on dolls.

First was my 2004 Birthday Wishes Barbie in teal and green

Next was Teresa from Barbie of Swan Lake wearing the pink ballet dress

Third was the 1997 Happy Holidays Barbie wearing gold and black

Fourth was my Clueless Cher doll wearing the wedding gown

There were just two left. I'd been waiting for some older body type dolls to put the dresses on. I finally got some and here they are!

A generic 80's/90's doll wearing purple and gold

All of the dresses come with some kind of headpiece. I didn't want to mess up the hair of my Birthday Wishes Barbie so I didn't put it on her and Teresa's hair is so gorgeous that I couldn't bear to put it up to get the headpiece on. But this one looks stunning! So British I think. They always wear beautiful hats.

Finally Odette of Barbie of Swan Lake finishes out the set in black and pink.

Perfect! And the bow is cute too.

Her hair is better. This is one of the dolls whose hair was very tangled and ratty. I tried to smooth it out as best as I could when I washed it and it looks okay. But not perfect.

Anyway, I'm glad the set is all represented and makes a great addition to the top of my Barbie shelf.

However, my mom bought me these dresses at a yard sale.

I'm thinking that this might be another set like the ones I have! Each has a headpiece and accessories and a wedding gown in the mix. The wedding dress is to die for. Mine is an off-white with pearls and lace. This is a true white with glitter, shimmer and pearls.

Hmm, another set might be in the works!

Ready for thrift store goodies?

Barbie!

Okay Andrea, you will have to help me with this one. The halter top does not fit obviously. I just wanted to put it on her so I didn't have to hold onto it at the store. I also put the little daisy shorts on her too.

She has awesome two toned blond hair.

She is different though as she has a lever on her back.

And the string on her hand pulls out. When you pull down the lever, the cord is sucked back in.

Absolutely NO clue who she is! So help is definitely needed with this one. And maybe the shirt too. She has an older body type so I'm not sure if it would fit on a newer doll. I haven't tried yet.

And last, this precious little Kelly that I missed last week.

A cute little ballerina that I'm guessing goes into some kind of music or jewerly box.

She's so cute! Once I get the hair fixed she will be a perfect little addition.

That's it for this week. I'm going to try to be more dilligent in posting. No more of this once a week stuff! (hopefully). Thank you for all your support of my blog. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy posting. :)

~Barbie: the only girl who could pull off wearing a different ball gown every day!~

Fashion Fanfare and "Who is she?"

I have to admit, my parents were very generous when my brother and I were young. We had all the toys that anyone could ever ask for. I had the most Barbies out of any of my friends so it was the best time having them come over to my house and play dolls together. We even made clothes for them. :)

Even though I had more Barbies than a girl could ever ask for, there was one that I desperately wanted but never got.

Oh, I loved Dance Club Barbie. I think the main reason I liked her is because she wore cute socks with black heels! Maybe I'll pick her up one day on eBay. I don't care if I have her in the box or deboxed. I still love her!

So when I go to these thrift stores, many of the dolls are nude. So now that I have some clothes, It's time to play dress up. Let's start the fashion show!

So the first week I got the pants for the Barbie and Tanner Play Set. The second week I got the top. I don't have a doll with long enough hair that I can style like the original so I chose this adorable doll with bangs.

So cute. I love this outfit. The little doggie on the shirt is adorable. Did you know that the dog (Tanner) that came with Barbie actually pooped? Too funny!

Remember this fun mod outfit from last time?

This is a Barbie Fashion Avenue Metro Fashion "Funky in Philly." I just had to display this one.

I was missing a couple pieces of accessories. Instead of purple shoes, I chose some pink wedges.

The other accessory was black cat eye sunglasses. I thought I had black but I didn't so I added some pink ones instead.

Remember the jacket from last time with the leopard print trim? I added the skirt to it from Masquerade Party Barbie.

Not bad, not bad. Any idea which Barbie this is? I do have to be honest, her eyes are kind of creepy.

This is Princess Luciana from Barbie as the Island Princess. It was really hard to find a dress to match her necklace. So I bought this one a couple of weeks ago.

I was informed that this was a dress from Disney's Rapunzel. Well, look what I found when I went to the store the other day.

It doesn't fit Princess Luciana as well as it does Rapunzel from Tangled. But it matches her necklace! Also, when I think of islands I think of Hawaii. So to tame a portion of her unruly hair, I put a flower in it.

As I was google searching yesterday, I found out who this girl was.

She is Cher from the Clueless dolls. I dressed her in a beautiful wedding gown because she was wearing pearl earrings.

This gown is from the collection of dresses that I got when I was a kid. Some of my dolls are already wearing them. My Birthday Wishes Barbie and Teresa from Barbie of Swan Lake. Also I added one other doll to the set.

The 2007 Happy Holidays Barbie. She had gold jewelry so she needed a gold dress. Perfect.

Here's the group so far. I can't wait to add the other two when I find dolls for the outfits.

Meet Working Woman Barbie. She talks!

Since she's a working woman, she needed a business outfit. Since I had the blazer from Day to Night Barbie, I dressed her in that. But I didn't have a professional skirt! I'll have to look for one or make one for her. But this works for now.

I can't wait to display her when I get the perfect outfit. I also need to fix the snap on the jacket so it will stay closed (and won't show the see-thru shirt underneath.)

The Help! First, who is the Barbie wearing the leopard outfit above?

And, who is this doll?

She must be a veterinarian since she has the stethoscope and a panda bear shirt. The stethoscope is sewn into the shirt and rubber banded to her chest as well.

I tried searching but nothing!

~Outfits are coming together nicely!~
