## Description

This doll has never been removed from its box. || Label or Edition: Collector Edition || Originally released by Mattel in 1996 || Theme: Gowns || Collection: Classique

Review: collector of small items - Yes, I recommend this item. Barbie is classy and the clothes are made well.
Review: Classique and Classy! - I have loved this doll since it originally appeared in stores many years ago. It is a stunning Barbie. After receiving a few dolls shipped without proper protection and thus arriving in broken plastic boxes, I was pleasantly surprised to find this doll carefully packed and in perfect condition. The price also encouraged me to purchase it, as some vendors offered this doll at nearly twice the price I paid. In summary: a beautiful doll, in perfect condition, and at a reasonable price. I can't ask for more! I believe most Barbie collectors would enjoy displaying Classique Collection Romantic Interlude Barbie, as do I. It is difficult, though, for Canadian purchasers to pay so much in shipping and often discourages me from buying more Barbies to add to my collection, no matter how much I desire them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timeless Fashion
*by N***M on September 21, 2014*

Simply gorgeous. I would never have been able to pay the initial release price on this Collector's item. So I am doubly pleased that I was able to purchase her at a great discount. Though she was created in 1997 by designer Ann Driskill, this ensemble looks as if it could have come from the House of Charles Worth in 19th century Paris; bit of froth at the neckline, pared down sleeves with turned cuff contrast and hats at a 45% angle; lovely conrast in fabrics. But the bobbed hair at the chin line is a dead giveaway to a more modern fashion statement. Proof that good fashions are timeless.
