I can't help it about the Barbie posts, I'm on a roll! This dress is a replica of the 1959 Barbie Suburban Shopper Outfit. Although being on this lovely beach for these photos, I feel more like Malibu Barbie than a Suburban Shopper.
I love this dress and I'm so glad that Unique-Vintage has decided to create this line. I got mine from Ebay simply because it looks a little closer to the colors of the original Barbie dress. However, I'm sure that I have compromised quality. UV makes quality stuff and it's worth the hefty price tag. As far as dupes go, this one seems to be fairly sturdy, well made, and didn't wrinkle on my trip. I was able to pull it out of the car and put it on and it looked great.
The fit is less than fabulous, but I ordered the closest size available to mine, so I expected some discrepancy. Overall, this is a very cute dress, and I'm sure Barbie, like any good bargain shopper of the 1950s or today, would approve of the savings of $165 by buying the dupe.
