The same dress was also included in the
Easter Parade
ensemble, produced only in 1959.
Early Barbie ensembles included the cloth black & white Barbie tag in one piece of each ensemble. The tag was found in the dress when it was sold alone. If it was with the Easter parade ensemble, the tag was in the coat and the dress had no tag.
The dress is made of polished cotton and has a metal zipper in the back. It has a rolled collar and is found with different variations in the intensity of the red, blue and green print.
