What is this dress?

My mother passed away in June of 07 at the tender age of 91. She always loved...stuff...and dolls were one of her loves. The thing was, she collected everything of value... or no value...just stuff that appealed to her...and that is all that really matters! So anyway, I have been going thru this stuff and selling it on ebay and while doing so I ran across this gown. It is a very nice brocade, and looks somewhat similar to the Gala Abend style from the 2006 Christies auction. I found this in a bag of other Barbie clothes, there are no other pieces that I have run across that match this. So if it is complete or not, I have no idea. It does has two u shaped clips in the back that should hook on to receivers made of thread, but the thread is broken so you can not close the back. There is no makers tag but the quality is extremely good...in my opinion. If you were to ask me, I would say the fur trim is real, but I am not positive about this. Does anyone have any information they would be willing to share about this piece? It has been stored for about 25 years & I have no idea where or when she may have acquired it. As it does belong to the estate, it will eventually be sold, but that will not happen for a while. Regards! Ron

Don't Know!

Hi Ron -
I do not know this one. It is definitely the Gala Abend fabric - Gala Abend was a Japanese & European Exclusive - so maybe some of our international friends will recognize it and help us out! Anyone recognize this one? Does it have a tag?
