The first doll in the Great Eras® collection, Gibson Girl Barbie® doll represents the early 20th century. Wearing a long blue skirt, matching cape, white blouse, and cream-colored hat with ribbon accent, Barbie exudes all the charm of the era she represents. Hair curled in ringlets, rooted eyelashes, and a lacy white parasol with pink and blue ribbon complete this nostalgic ensemble. Historically, this ensemble is an accurate depiction of a Charles Dana Gibson illustration. Some Gibson Girl Barbie have been found with a "FAO Schwartz" label on the lining, so she may have been originally planned as FAO exclusive. With all the style and sophistication reminiscent of the 1920s, Flapper® Barbie® doll will surely "dance" her way into your heart! Almost everyone who looks at this doll immediately thinks of The Great Gatsby, Bonnie and Clyde, and the Black Bottom. Wearing a fabulous golden floor-length coat trimmed in white faux fur, a drop-waisted beaded dress, and a matching golden headband, Barbie captures the true essence of the era she represents. Finishing touches include her adorable short blond hair and long strand of faux pearls that hang from her neck. She has been found on an aqua liner with a white dolls stand or a green liner with a black doll stand.
