Vintage Barbie Evening Enchantment #1695 (1967)

Red Dress with White Marabou Trim
Matching Red Cape
Red Closed Toe Heels  

I absolutely love this ensemble - I guess it is my inner drama queen!  The dress is made of red taffeta with a chiffon overdress and that fabulous white marabou trim.  It is a sleeveless dress with a slim fitted long skirt.  The matching red chiffon cape has the same white marabou trim around the neck. 

This ensemble is very hard to find (it was only made for one year), is very popular with collectors and therefore can be quite expensive to acquire.  Also, due to the delicate nature of the chiffon it is prone to show wear and damage and the marabou is prone to shedding.  SO finding one in great condition can be even more of a challenge.  Still it is a wonderful piece to have in your collection.  I'm sure I'll never get to dress this glamorous, but my Barbie can!
