Restored First-Issue Vintage Barbie | Black-Haired Bubblecut in Let’s Dance / Swinging Easy

This black-haired first-issue Bubblecut Barbie is dressed for an evening of dancing in my interpretation of Let’s Dance / Swinging Easy. The soft gray and ivory leaf print carries from her full-skirted dress to her matching pillbox hat, with a wide black bodice midriff, an envelope clutch made from vintage Barbie vinyl salvaged from a vintage Barbie doll case, and white pearls to finish the look.

I treated her with UV light to address the discoloration seen in the before image, and completed a full paint restoration. The only flaws I noted are one small extra pinprick on each ear.

She comes with the outfit shown, a display stand, and a signed Certificate of Restoration from Ginger’s Doll Cottage.
