## Description

Barbie in her cute red and white valentines outfit

Review: Another fantastic retro doll - Just got her today, but she is everything I expected. Her arms are bent at the elbow and can't be straighten out, she rotates and bends at the waist, legs are straight. She has tennis shoes that fit good. Her purse is one sided doesn't look complete (I looked to see if the other side had come apart in the box but can't find it) and stays on her shoulder good, she has panties painted on, her hair is soft, love her outfit, she has a white brush that was in a sealed bag with the shoes. She has white button ear rings and wears a ring to match. There are red heart stickers that still work. You might miss these if you don't look under the guarantee that is taped to the back of the box. Box opens easily and easy to unpack Barbie.
Review: Very cute and nice - She stands well on anything and she looks cute and fashionable!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Everywhere is written that this doll 1996, but why her purse heart - 1993 ? Can anybody tell me ? please**
A: The box states this Barbie was patented in 1996.  Just guessing purse design was patented in 1993  and may have been used previously with another Barbie.

**Q: Does it have the original rubber legs?**
A: It is all original, never removed from the sealed box.

**Q: Is the dress one piece or separate top and skirt?**
A: It is a one piece dress

She stands well on anything and she looks cute and fashionable!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The seller sent me a doll in perfect condition, even for a 20 year old doll
*by O***T on July 15, 2017*

Another doll I used to have as a kid. Classic 1990s Barbie. Not really much to say. The seller sent me a doll in perfect condition, even for a 20 year old doll. She came with a brush and some heart stickers. I think I decorated her purse with them when I was a kid.
