From 1982, we have Wedding Fantasy Barbie (aka Flying Bride Barbie after the Flying Nun based on the look of her veil). This lovely doll is dressed in a two-piece wedding outfit. She has a full lacy overskirt with a satiny underskirt. The bodice has a collar with full sleeves that tapper to her hands. "Pearl" accents adorn the bodice. Her veil is attached to a pearly headband. Her veil is stiff and no amount of steaming would get it to lay down. Other accessories include stockings, a garter, tulle bouquet, earrings, a ring, and white pumps.
Barbie was first introduced by Mattel in 1959 wearing a black and white one-piece swimsuit, black heals and carrying a pair of white sunglasses. For over 65 year she has reigned as the doll world fashion queen.
