Vintage Barbie Plantation Belle Details
The delicate fabric of this outfit doesn't hold up as well as many. Since it was only made for two years, it can be a little more difficult to find in great condition. Also, the accessories that are unique to this set are considered rare and can be hard to find in great condition. It is helpful that the Plantation Belle Barbie accessories are available in a set or individually. This makes it easier for Collectors to add the pieces needed to complete their collection.
The dress closes with a back zipper.

There were two different types of lace used in making the vintage Barbie Plantation Belle ensemble. Both lace designs were very intricate and delicate with beautiful results. The variation on the left is the one most commonly seen - the one on the right is much more rare.
Of course, there was a clone version made!
