Vintage Barbie Silver Blues

Vintage Barbie Silver Blues
#3357
1972

Maxi Coat with Gold Lame Top & Multi Colored Brocade Bottom
Sheer Purple Nylon Scarf
Purple Cut-Out Shoes

This wonderful maxi length evening coat has a gold lame bodice and a floral brocade bottom and collar. It also came with a sheer purple scarf.

This, along with the coordinating ensemble Fancy That Purple (both are pictured above), is one of my all time favorite Barbie ensembles, but I can't for the life of me figure out why it is named Silver Blues when it is made out of gold lame?? I love it though and it seems to me that is has become easier to find over the years.
