A modern Barbie is modeling a vintage dress. Made from cotton fabric this aqua dress with white polka dots has a drop waist trimmed in dark blue velvet ribbon. The dress is not tagged so it is not known whether it is homemade or store bought. From its style and the aged look to the fabric it appears to be from the 1960s.
