Description:
Barbie bears incredible likeness to the flappers of the 1920s dance scene. Her dress is beaded on orange material with chartreuse, green, gold, and clear beads, and features a skirt made up of seperate beaded panels. She wears a bubble-shaped coat of beaded leopard print lined in bright pirple satin and trimmed in long brown fur, and dons a small cap covered with chartreuse, green, and gold beads with two blond curls peeking out. Her thigh-high stockings and shoes are painted onto her legs. Jewelry accents include a long chartreuse green beaded necklace and multicolored beaded bracelets. Porcelain body was specially sculpted to achieve "Charleston" posing.
