The Buxom Babe in Haute Couture and Costumes

Share

She’s sugar and spice and everything nice. Only, she’s not edible.

But Barbie--the behemoth-selling babe of all time--is deliciously decked out in designer duds in her very own 64-page holiday spread called Barbie Collectibles by Mail.

And this dahling of a doll really knows how to wrap up the holidays, her hourglass figure in gorgeous get-ups by Vera Wang ($150), Bill Blass ($160), Nolan Miller ($135), Christian Dior ($160) and Bob Mackie ($240).

Our gal gets around in everything from taffeta to tulle to organza to gingham. She’s in ensembles ideal for strolls in Paris, New York and Tokyo. And she’s a time traveler as well: Barbie outfitted for the promenade in 1910; Barbie as a 1920s fly-girl flapper; Barbie as a glamour queen of the 1930s and Barbie as a very ‘90s woman as a NASCAR racer.
