What a wonderful fashion show and host ❤ Red head Barbies are beautiful ❤ Thanks for sharing your beauties ❤
I've never seen a Midge looking THAT beautiful!!!
I appreciate the “that’s what she said” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How amazing is the quality of the materials used in those earlier dresses. I think the 3rd & 5th dresses are my favourites. I hate to think what Mattel would charge nowadays for such beautiful gowns. Also, "that's what she said" 😂 I do love that you incorporate your sense of humour into your videos and glad to see you're feeling better now. Keep on doing what you do
Thanks so much! Yeah even in the adult collector releases we really don’t see that quality ❤️
love you channel!
Thank you!❤️
🧡GINGERS RULE!!! I have: 1982 Bride Tracy -1996 Wedding Day ginger repro -1986 fashions Romantic Wedding 1 white, 1 cream and blue bridesmaid and pink flower girl -1999 Fashion Avenue Barbie Beautiful Bride -1969 Midi-Marvelous Wedding Dress -1979 Here Comes the Bride - I would love to have: Grace Kelly Bridal doll, but don't know if I could ever afford it 🤑
Walleye stare is the funniest expression about Midge but it’s spot on! I have the Winter Wedding on my brunette Midge. It was very yellow when I got it. I soaked it in oxy clean and it’s bright white now. I love your wedding collection! Some Ive never seen. I had the Tracy Bride and some of the gowns from the 80s.
I bet midge looks beautiful in winter wedding! Timeless look. I definitely should get more 70s and 80s brides. Thanks so much!❤️❤️
Amazing video and the editing asides made me laugh! You are so handsome and knowledgeable about vintage Barbies. I once had that deluxe wedding set but sadly due to life changes and stupidity, it is long gone. I too love the red headed Barbies. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much for the super thanks! Really appreciate it! And for all the kind words! Titian Barbies are the best. Not only as brides, but in blue too 🙌🏻🔥🔥❤️❤️
I'm loving the '68 on Christie. New goal is finding that complete gown. 🖤
Good luck! Whatever the cost, it’s worth it! lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love looking at wedding dresses. Beautiful.
Ah, this is perfect, I just found wedding day midge at the flea market
Congrats!❤️
That last dress the early 70s one is now on my dream list thanks lol 😂 I didn’t even know I needed bridal Barbie’s but apparently I do 😅 great video as always ❤
Haha right?! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!❤️❤️
Beautiful brides. I did not know that all of these existed. Thank you for sharing. I think there are a few more that came much later than she missed. But regardless, these are great. And you totally should have a wedding Barbie shelf. That would be so awesome!👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah there were more brides that came later but the quality just wasn’t the same 💖
Midge is pretty i love the long hair Midges i love brushing her hair
Iove the 1959 wedding Barbie shes beautiful ❤️ wow the manufacturing and time they took to make that fabric is amazing. Shes not meant to play with. Absolutely stunning all of them
Thanks! Crazy how high quality some toys used to be. Especially Barbie 😍❤️
Your Barbie wedding dress collection is beyond amazing ! It all looks so white compared to mine ! I store them in blue tissue paper & I bring them out for a photoshoots or displays About 10 years ago the summer Gay marriage was passed I photographed Barbie marrying Midge & Ken marring Allen for a charity event at The Gay Community center in NYC .I created light boxes & used film for large transparencies that were auctioned off. Seeing this makes me want to do a display & create a June Bride theme this summer ! I had the hardest time with the very first gown Wedding Day Set gown from 1959 ! I kept tearing the lace right at the neck every time I put it on a doll . Finally after damaging so many , I got one last one and very carefully put it on a #3 she has lived in it for decades ... Thanks for the making the BEST content on TH-cam* , totally inspiring ! Cheers Matt Sky
Thank you so much!! Your project sounds amazing! I’m all for a June display. Pulling these out definitely made me wonder why I don’t display them all the time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
4 doll beautiful
Hey handsome 😁😉👋, I love the Wedding Barbie doll that come with Stacie and Todd one of my favorites ❤
Haha hello! Such a great set 🙌🏻🔥❤️❤️
Bonsoir de la "France ",j'aime beaucoup "Christie ",elles sont vraiment toutes belles 😊. Je regarde toutes vos vidéos depuis la toute première, et j'attends toujours avec impatience pour regarder la prochaine. Je suis collectionneurs de poupée "Barbie ",et vous avez vraiment une très belle collection qui est de très grande qualité. Je vous adore vous et vôtre frère, j'adore lorsque vous présenter ensemble 🙃❤. Vraiment très bonne vidéo comme d'habitude j'adore 😊😃.
Thank you so much!! So glad you’re enjoying the content! Really appreciate the kind words ❤️❤️
Love your videos!!! ❤️❤️ from Madrid
Thank you!❤️
I have the 68 tent dress , got it at an antique shop . my favorite one is the 1977 get up and go bell sleeved \picture hat one as well as the 1984 wedding of the year one so classic yet 80s sheer puff sleeves.loved the look of the vintage ones too! Great work and video! Hope you showcase more wedding dresses in the future!
I'm enjoying your detailed descriptions for the clothes. You obviously know what you're talking about!
Divine materials and styling on the earlier gowns! Thanks so much for sharing! In the 40s-60s, my grandmother, her mother and her sisters used to get up every morning and dress up in some pretty refined clothes. It was a different era and the earlier Barbie fashions you showcase represent that. Btw, that Winter Wedding dress is freaking gorgeous!
Right? It’s one reason why I love Barbie’s early domestic looks, back when there were refined outfits for doing housework. lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Christie is a beautiful bride
My favorite is Beautiful Bride, I had that on a brunette swirl, dreamy : )
What a beautiful bride collection you own. I didn’t have a bride doll in my collection until yesterday. I won 1989 Wedding fantasy Barbie. She’s a doll up my own alley!!!!!
Thank you! And that’s awesome! Congrats!!🎊❤️❤️
Keep em coming! Love the videos. 🖤
Omg thank you so much!! So damn generous!! Glad you enjoyed it, really appreciated ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ThedollswitnessYou are welcome! I'm on a Barbie high this week. Scored 7 Barbies at a garage/estate sale for $100. #3 & #5 brunette ponytails, 61,62, 65 brunette bubble cuts. Also, Miss Barbie and Fashion Queen. All of them in their original suits and in perfect condition. So excited!! I don't think this will ever happen again.
Omg! Congrats! That’s…an unheard-of find lol happy for you!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitnesslooks like I'm branching out with Barbie. I have only collected Christie till now. These 60's ladies are beautiful.✨
The plain American Girl wedding dress is beautiful. The Beautiful Bride satin gown with the little bow is toooooooo cute. These are all great!!! If you do the modern gowns, you should add "Vera Wang" wedding dresses. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you! Yeah I really can’t pick a favorite of the bunch. They’re all so damn beautiful 🤩❤️❤️
Such a great video, gosh I want that 70s one now!! Your channel has the best vibe, I feel like we could hang out and talk for hours!
I love wedding dolls and wedding dresses this is a great video thanks for sharing. I still feel like I need to hang out with you
Thanks so much!! I’m sure it’d be a good time!❤️❤️
Impressive indeed nyo! My favorite was the 1972 bride... I am a sucker for the 70’s ✨🕺🏻✨
Thank you! That one’s hard to resist! 😍🔥❤️❤️
Your #5 Barbie is pretty in her wedding dress
The first three gowns are my favorites.
Can’t really beat early 60s quality 🙌🏻❤️
Thanks!
Another video that was so much fun to watch! I remember not liking the short sleeves on the '63 wedding outfit when it came out so I didn't want that outfit for my dolls (had a brunette ponytail Barbie and red flip Midge too! Also a brunette flocked hair Ken). But now I really like the style. I did have the Orange Blossom outfit - I was too dumb to realize it was supposed to be a bridesmaid dress! I really enjoyed seeing the other wedding outfits you showed. It's really sad how much more effort Mattel used to put into its dolls' clothes.
You were a lucky kid to grow up with those pieces! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!❤️❤️
What a wonderful presentation. You really can follow fashion through those wedding gowns. It's amazing to see how accurate the gowns reflect the times. Great job, and I truly enjoy your comments. I agree that they are very difficult to find.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed this one!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg 😃 I wish to have every wedding Barbie👰🏼♂️👰🏻♀️ ever made! 😂
Right?! lol 🙌🏻❤️
3 doll pretty i was 1 years old in 1966
My favorite is the dress on the first Vera Wang doll. Like the black trim.
And when they do include Lennon a wedding set it’s always a “dream wedding” so even the title implies it’s not actually happening
Yeah the weddings are always implied to be some fantasy. Barbie can’t be tied down. lol ❤️❤️
I will fight anyone who doesnt love early midges face, she is iconic!
One of my cousins wore something like Wedding Wonder and it's the coolest thing she ever wore (not something you usually say about bridal gowns!). I've got a few of these. Love the winter ones... they look like something a princess would wear. I wish you'd included the 1975/76 Beautiful Brides. I have the mod one and am just obsessed with her (admittedly, the doll more than the dress).
Nice! I don’t have the 75 Beautiful bride but been meaning to get one. Definitely prefer it to the superstar one. 🙌🏻❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness I'd convinced myself that you have EVERY single doll, so I'm gonna just bask in this moment while I can. ;)
Здравствуйте!!! Вы потрясающий коллекционер Барби! Всегда с удовольствием смотрю ваш канал. У вас большая и интересная коллекция кукол. Обожаю ваши видео. Удачи и пополнения коллекции.
Thank you so much! Happy you found me!💗💗
Why is Midge's left eye forward and her right eye is looking right did Mattel make a mistake
Yeah a LOT of early midges had that issue. Some collectors I know prefer them that way, like it adds to the charm. lol
How would a kid not get the dress dirty
The winter wedding dress is pretty the doll before sweetheart satin
I just remembered the name Fashion Avenue
Ive BEEN following you on Instagram, I need to get serious about entering these competitions lol
haha yes you should! ❤️❤️
I washed a couple of days ago the Holiday sisters gift set dolls Barbie Stacie and Kelly they came out nice i had to use conditioner on their hair so stiff i let them air dry outside in my backyard on a towel they don't smell old anymore yeah
ok now I am sluethin' I thought you were maybe married because of your ring LOL I was gonna ask you what was the fave part about your own wedding? never mind me homie you can tell me to shuddup :LOL
haha I’m engaged. No wedding yet but I doubt it’ll be all that traditional. lol❤️
@@Thedollswitness I KNEW IT thanks for solving the mystery friend
@@ThedollswitnessI knew someone would put a ring on that! You remind me of Mika, the French singer. He’s got the same sex appeal you do. Freddie had it, too. Congrats on the engagement! God help me, but I cannot help but hope Barbie is in attendance in some fashion! Hello to your bro, btw. Great upload. I love that Barbie never got married. It’s part of what makes her so relatable to so many, imo.
Barbie dated Blaine in the Cali girl line
I appreciate your show n tell🙏🙏. I have the Midge an allan giftset
want more of your content
Awesome! Thanks so much!❤️❤️
My Barbie and Ken got married and lived together in my Barbie Pretty Folding House i own
I bought a few Barbie wedding dresses in the 90's in the fashion pack that they sold i fogot what they were called
I own the first one and 72' Sweetheart Satin. I got the Sweetheart Satin in really bad shape. I "Fixed" it, but it is more glue than dress at this point lol. But I also got 90s Country Bride and Southern Wedding dress.
Thanks so much!!!! I wish I was good at fixing outfits! Other than sewing on a button or snap I’m pretty useless. lol That country bride is cute! Never see much of her. 🙌🏻❤️
The 1972 wedding dress looks like a Gunnysak brand that was so popular with us then. I have the Midge wedding set. The wedding dresses from the 1960’s were less elaborate. Probably due to what was going on with the war in Vietnam. People got married quickly because of the draft and didn’t have the elaborate weddings. They are all beautiful dresses.
Oh I didn’t think about Vietnam playing a role in weddings. Definitely makes sense. I see what you mean about the 72 dress. Has a bit of a prairie look about it. So cute ❤️❤️
Plastic button on Kelly jacket the top won't button how do I get it to close without damaging the plastic stub on the button that snaps into the flat part that has the
hole 90's doll outfits are impossible
💖💖💖💖💖
Its not a wedding dress but my doll is Barbie Winter Fantasy doll she is beautiful ya should look it up
TNT Redhead at 6:12 in that dress? We have a winner.
I am happily divorced but I did loooooovvvve my wedding LOL It's funny that wedding was always a fantasy in Barbie land because Ruth never wanted Barbie to be a married lady a woman before her time indeed
Totally. Love that about Barbie. ❤️❤️
That 70's with the flowing dress I believe it's Qiana silk a nylon that was popular in that decade used for disco clothes and princess Leia white outfit
🤗♥️🔥🎈🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️
I want that black Todd so bad! It’s the only black Todd they made and it’s impossible to find one by itself since the sets for sale are always in box!
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen one sold by itself either! Shame they didn’t make more!❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jack have you ever had to fix a broken Barbie doll neck our cat Tiger knocked over my plastic storage box of Barbies and it fell down and rolled over upsidedown and landed on my pink Barbie Corvette where my Holiday Hostess Barbie was in the driver's seat well cause of the weight her neck got cracked how do I fix her neck without having to throw her away
The front of her neck is a little split down the middle it's still attached to the neck and behind her neck it also split in the back of her neck the pieces are still attached but bent down a little help 😊
Ah damn! That’s a shame, but honestly super glue may be the only option outside of replacing the body. I’ve glued a head that broke off back onto a doll before and you’d never know, except her head doesn't turn anymore. lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw it for $52.00 and $14.50 shipping on eBay I just can't buy it now wah
Midge wedding day set
Oh wow! Great price ❤️❤️
Yes Midge wedding gift set 6 dolls
I used to think Midge was the ugliest doll ever - uglier than Dusty lol - but one day I asked myself, "what if she had been released before Barbie?" It wouldn't fix the walleye stare, but if you take Barbie out of the equation, she's actually kind of cute. Probably would have been less controversial too, as her face is more youthful. I'm still not going out of my way to get one, but wouldn't mind adding her to my collection.
Whenever I see a tent dress, I always think of the quote attributed to Zsa Zsa Gabor on why she liked them: "because I look so good when I take them off" LOL.
So many layers, details, and trims on vintage doll clothes! We need to see the Ken version of this. I have a recent wedding gown, and it doesn't fit right on ANY of my dolls. I love they have shape variety, but not making clothes specifically for the body types annoys me.
lol love the zsa zsa quote. I do think Midge is super cute in a girl-next-door kinda way, and that sculpt looks adorable on mod pj and live action Christie. ❤️❤️
Where is Barbie beautiful bride 1976? I've got 2 of them. She's gorgeous. Anyway, love your video❤
Thank you!! I don’t have that one but been meaning to get it! ❤️❤️
Thinking about buying all of these and trying to justify it as "research" to my fiance
Haha sounds like me!❤️❤️
My Live Action PJ got married MINIMUM 5 times and she never once had a wedding dress! Im off to ebay to correct this wrong
🤍🤍🤍
I don't care for bows
I Hope I Was Thinking Wrong That He Use Drügss With All That Expression
That’s not a very nice thing to say. Some people are just very artistic and expressive, thank god.
