The Vintage Barbie Gaye Parisienne #964 ensemble was released in 1959. Vintage Barbie Gay Parisienne combined couture design with elegant accessories to create one of the most successful designs of 1959. The dress is a deep blue rayon taffeta bubble dress and is in minty comdition. Same fabric bows trimmed in white adorn the hem in front and the top of the zipper closing in the back. The hat is a matching blue tulle veiled headband. The white satin lined faux fur stole is in great condition. The small gold velvet clutch has a gold bead closure and is lined in white satin. The white gloves, pearl necklace and gold hoop earrings complete the ensemble. This vintage ensemble is rare and hard to find, as it was only produced in 1959. Barbie is also in Excellent condition - she is the #3 Ponytail Barbie but her face has been painted to resemble a #1/#2 Barbie - she has no loose limbs, no cracks. She has faded to a fairly even ivory color and she smells like crayons. She has all her red finger and toe nail polish. Her hair is still in the original ponytail but her bangs are not good and have been styled to match the Paris outfit she is wearing - she still has a curl at the bottom of the ponytail. She has no green ear but holes for earrings are a bit darker. She has green dot on the back of the neck from the necklace clasp and a few indents around the front of her neck where the necklace has been sitting for so long - see pics. Her makeup is nice and bright! Overall this is a Gorgeous doll and she is ready to be a show stopper in your vintage Barbie display.

Photos give the truest depiction of item. I always keep an eye out for imperfections, wear, or damage to articles and fully describe them, but this does not mean I will not miss things from time to time. Shipping SHIPPING: I use The United States Postal Service the majority of the time. I will be happy to combine shipping on multiple wins. I use the shipping calculator or flat rate shipping for all auctions. Please consider the quote in overall purchase price before placing your bid. I use USPS Priority Mail services, UPS Ground for larger items, etc. to get the best quality shipping price for the buyer. Shipping can be upgraded to Express Shipping but a charge will apply for that service. Please let me know at auction end if you would like to upgrade shipping. I pack VERY WELL to insure that your item arrives safely ~ I use tissue paper, bubble wrap and shredded paper so that there is no movement in shipping. I know that this makes the box a little heavier to ship which increases shipping costs by a small amount but it is worth it to have the item arrive without breaking. If it is a non-breakable item I can usually ship for a bit less and skip the shredded paper and just used newspaper. NOTE: Insurance is always included for the safety of your purchase.
