Bob Mackie Designer Series
1992
Empress Bride Barbie
Fifth in the Mackie series, Empress Bride Barbie is considered by many to be the ultimate bride doll in the Barbie Collectibles line.
EMPRESS BRIDE BARBIE'S dress and crown are entirely hand-beaded,
and her dress has been sewn on her to ensure a perfect fit.
Mackie has achieved a luminosity and radiance befitting a royal bride through the use of pearlescent beads,
golden beads, iridescent sequins, teardrop beads, and bugle beads.
A marquis-cut rhinestone sparkles from the crown, while other rhinestones decorate the elegant jewelry and the dress itself.
The delicate beaded dangles on the brocade skirt echo those on the special
earrings and choker Bob Mackie designed for his EMPRESS BRIDE.
Every facet, every detail of this fabulous creation springs from the genius of Bob mackie.
The specially-designed face paint, the ultra long, light blonde hair in a single sleek braid,
the full length veil flowing from the elegant tiara crown all contribute to the breathtaking splendor of EMPRESS BRIDE BARBIE.
Regally displayed on her doll stand, holding her bridal bouquet,
she is the ultimate crowning glory of both Bob Mackie and Barbie.
