Vintage Barbie Enchanted Evening

Vintage Barbie Enchanted Evening #983 (1960-1963)

Strapless Pink Satin Gown
White Fur Stole with Pink Lining
Long White Gloves
Triple Strand Pearl Choker with 2 Pearl Drops
Pearl Drop Earrings
Clear Open Toe Heels with Gold Glitter

This exquisite evening gown was and still is a stand out ensemble for Barbie.  The formality is captured perfectly in a pink satin strapless gown and a white rabbit fur stole lined in matching pink satin.  The earlier versions had three sequins and beads at the waist, later versions had a pink satin rose.

Because this was made for three years and was very popular, the gown and stole are fairly easy to find. The necklace and earrings as well as the shoes are considered rare and are very hard to find.
