    Description

    Barbie only has pleasant dreams in her short nighty outfit, Sweet Dreams
    !
    This outfit is in
    Near Mint and Complete condition
    ,
    and includes the shorty nighty, matching panties, hair ribbon, alarm clock, diary, apple, and light blue mules with poms.
    I don't grade anything as "Mint" unless I've just taken it out of the original packaging.  I've collected vintage Barbie for 30+ years, and I scrutinize items I sell on eBay.  If you have a question that my description hasn't answered, please ask me:)  I'm selling a large vintage Barbie collection on eBay, so you may want to save me as a seller.
    The yellow nylon top looks good with nice ribbon shoulder straps, and a nice bow at the back.  The yellow panties have their cute bows on each leg.  There is a small pink mark on the back seam of the panties, see pic #3.  The top would cover this mark on display.  Maybe the mark would spot clean out, it might be crayon; but I wouldn't get the elastic wet.  The panties leg elastic is still holding pretty well, though I wouldn't stretch it a lot, as it is delicate.   The panties' waist elastic does feel dried out; the panties should stay on, but I would avoid stretching it any more than you have to for display.  The satin ribbon hair bow also looks good, though I'm sure the ribbons have slightly faded over the last 60 years.  The wax apple has a nice "stem"; it has a good shape though it does have a couple shallow scrapes in its surface.  The apple does show wear on the red coloring.  The green diary looks great, it has very little edge wear.   The brass alarm clock looks good, but it does have a few smaller dark spots on it. The clock still has its "legs".  The light blue mules are marked Japan on the bottom of 1 shoe, and they don't have any splits.  The poms are replacements that look original.
    Sweet Dreams
    will look great on your favorite Barbie!  Please see my other auctions for more vintage Barbie doll and clothing lots, and for other vintage toys from the 50's - 70's.  I'm happy to combine shipping charges for multiple purchases.
