I just love that look of surprise every time at the moment you open your dolls. LOL Especially this one. I don't even collect the silkstones but you are tempting me with this one. As always love your videos.
Such a gorgeous gorgeous doll! I'm loving the 2017 silkstone collection , especially since last years collection has been such a disappointment.Your video really just makes the doll look a lot more flattering. I haven't opened mine yet. Just so excited to have another beautiful tweed suit doll! This so reminds me of walking suit barbie. Also dying for blush and gold cocktail dress.
I agree! So glad that the 2017 has stepped it up and returned to its glamorous roots instead of trying to be everything to everyone. So glad that you love her, too :) And yes, I am looking forward to Blush & Gold cocktail dress!
I really loved your review. I've been watching your videos lately and just subbed. You actually inpired me to go back to my doll collecting hobby. I purchased this exact same silktone 1 day ago (2nd of my collection) and I'm so happy. I was going for the Blue Chiffon and had a change of heart. The overall craftsmanship on this doll is pretty incredible! I am in love with the nod to the Nouveau Style this doll is sporting. Truly well achieved.
I like this one, and I might get her. The thing that's bugging me is the bright white hat. I feel like it should be more of an ecru tone. I also think that if I get her, I'll add a narrow black velvet ribbon to her hair, to disguise the visible elastic band and just give it a little bit of polish with a small bow. I was thinking of adding a ribbon and bow to the hat as well, but I might ditch the hat altogether on this one. Will keep my eye on her, and if she goes on sale or we get club rewards or something, I'm getting her. Thanks for the in-depth reviews of these dolls, Mattel should send you PR samples. :)
Thanks so much! I see what you mean but I have to say, in person the white hat just really works. I, too, at first look was like "WTF?!" But then I got her and it all made sense to me. Although I don't think an ecru would have been bad either since her blouse is more of an ivory tone. And regarding PR samples...Ummm yea, I've reached out to like 305,201 people at Mattel and they don't give a damn. Anyway, thanks for watching! xoxo
Dior's New Look! ♥ Iconic for a damn good reason. I totally turned my sound down when you warned us, and good thing I did! XD She's sooooo stunning. I love her so much. One day... ;)
She looks so classy and sophisticated she's a beaut and these poseable silkstones that their coming out with they need come with high quality fashion packs and beacause there a different size you know like they did with the regular silkstones.
She is wonderful!! I can't wait to get her. The bow is so cutee...and those eyes, such beautiful colors with the make-up, hair and lips! I am glad that she has earrings and that they are different from other silkstone ones i have seen. Super fun video too :D ...mmm i hope in your next box you have the Blush and Gold Cocktail Dress- i am curious to see a review of this barbie doll.
She is so wonderful, yes! Love all her details and yes, I am also happy to see a new earring design. Thanks for watching and come back on Thursday to see my new deboxing :) xoxo
I find myself catching up on your videos...you make me laugh. I'm a 65 year old Gramma who has loved Barbie since I was little. I love that you love her. 😘😍
I love her! Definitely getting one soon. if you love Dior-esque silkies, I truly suggest you check out the Afternoon Suit and Muffy Roberts dolls..those are gorgeous!
I LOVE those dolls that you mentioned! I haven't been collecting long enough to have had the chance to buy them when they originally launched but they are on my (never-ending) list :)
Suresh NY I have just collected myself, the first doll being the Mermaid Gown from 2013. I have been focusing on them since. Aside from these, the Boater Ensemble and the Walking Suit are just as beautiful if you're into the neat, impeccable and sophisticated look.
I agree! I have a "holy grail" list that I'm always looking into but I refuse to pay ungodly amounts on eBay to greedy scalpers who are looking to take advantage of people. But someday, I do hope to have them!
Suresh NY Unfortunately, that's the bane for us Silkie collectors. Most Silkies increased in value since their initial release, and now most go for anywhere from $100-200 in average. I was fortunate enough to find some deal on certain grail silkies. Anyhow, before I forget, do check the Stewardess, Teacher, Shopgirl and the Secretary from the Career Girls Silkstone collection for the same impeccable feel..
She's so fierce I'm a bow tie guy too so holla! lol. Ok I feel you about the poseable thing she would be like perfect otherwise. That makes them seem cheaper but oh well she still on point I am feeling her I'm about to snatch her up lol :)
Holla bow tie buddy! Yea she is definitely fierce but would have been more fierce with a fully, non-articulated body. But oh well--the fashion is fab. You'll love it! xoxo
Maybe you will be reviewing the blush and gold cocktail dress barbie next. I received her last week. She's stunning! However, I don't know if she'll receive such a huge reaction as this one did! Great review as always! you are definitely one of my fave reviewers.
Love everything about this doll, except for the body. I still can't get used to this new body and I agree with you, the body just doesn't fit that facemold. But other than this little detail, we can't deny that Robert Best has amazing taste. It's always a pleasure to watch your reviews, Suresh! Can't wait for the next video (I have a feeling it's going to be Blush & Gold Cocktail Dress ) :p
Hi friend! Yea--I am reeeeeally trying with this new body but I just can't. I'm not a doll photographer and don't pose them much so I think the articulation is lost on me. As you can see, they just stand there displayed behind glass and that's about it. At any rate, yes, I love Robert's details. Thanks, as always, for watching!! :) xoxo
Just bought the "Walking Suit" Silkstone Barbie because I'm not a fan of the new body since watching many videos. I think this doll is beautiful but I like the blonde better and the Tweed Suit Doll has a very similar face to the Lavender Doll I also just purchase. Thank you for this video 😃 can't wait to see your review of the Ball Gown Barbie
She's perfect. Her eyes, her hair, the design I mean I think I was speechless the first time I saw her, specially when I opened her blouse . It's like I don't want to put her down... Interesting because yours doesn't have the light red elastic that holds the ponytail, plus I'm wondering why they kept the same box design from last year. Maybe they have it for the jointed silkstone collection. Can't wait for your next review. Im guessing it's the blush gold one. Can't wait to get her mid June
I agree with you! There were many moments that I was just totally speechless which I edited out of the video. So beautiful. I also was wondering why they kept the same box design. Like you said, it might be for the articulated collection. Yes, I am also looking forward to Blush & Gold cocktail dress...whenever that may be :)
She's gorgeous. I understand about the body. I was hoping my aunt still had some of my mom's 1959 Barbies. I don't think so but I love the look and poseable body.
She's gorgeous and has that whole "Endora" vibe going on. As lovely as the outfit is, I can't help comparing it to other Silkstone suits of years gone by. And boy, do I miss those tiny zippers! (Do you recall the amazing quality and detail of the repro American Girl red Matinee fashion? Epic!) I don't understand why the blouse had to be attached to the skirt but that's just me! Also, I totally agree about the gangly articulated body. By the way, I'm 99.999% sure which doll is going to be your next review! Let's see if I'm right!
She does, indeed!! And I totally see what you mean about the older suits. I don't have many of them but I've seen them IRL and they are definitely a bit more amazing on the details. I guess considering last year's lineup, I'm just happy to have something that resembles more of a luxe feel. Thanks for watching!
STU-HUH-NNING HUNTY!!! The bow, the eye makeup (green is my favvvv color), the construction on that jacket!! They should have just named her the "This one is for you, Suresh" doll. Hehe 💖💖💖
Hi.do you ever review totaly hair barbie.i kinda like barbie doll more from 70,80,90 and earl 2000.for some reson they faces are much more pretty.but u like clothing from this one.thsnk you.
Hello! I don't collect many dolls pre-2005ish. I loved them when I was younger but I am really enjoying the high fashion element of the Silkstone and designer dolls of more recent years. Thanks for watching!
I just got mine. I love her! I have a question for all of you who purchased and deboxed her. Did anybody have an hard time placing the doll on her stand?? I had to give up after lots of attempts. Is it me? I think that the stand ( the top part where the barbie doll's thighs should sit) is pretty wider than usual (at leat of the ones i have) so i was unable to let it go under the tweed suit which is stiff and very tight on the body. I know that you Suresh do not actually use the silkstone stands and buy different ones...did anybody else noticed anything? I wonder if my stand has a defect. I ended up switching the stand between cocktail dress 2016 and this one since cocktail dress is a wide dress.
I'm considering starting a doll collection. Maybe a UA-cam channel to. Im re-doing my room, and it is a small room. I am thinking about buying a book shelf, the bottom half books, the top half dolls. Is this an ok idea???
I have not but looking at the proportions of the garment, I do not think it will fit. The bust and hips appear to be smaller than the OG Silkies. I've been planning to do a swap on an upcoming video so stay tuned :)
nice review ...also i'm Barbie doll collector the No 1 on Greece (i don't know how many Barbie models i have ,lol) greetings from Αθηνα Hellas ... btw , i have her ;-)
Not really. They have very different vibes. There have been many variations of tweed suits in the BFMC collection but this one is closer to Walking Suit in cut, color and silhouette.
![BARBIE - Silkstone Doll Review [ Black & White Tweed Suit ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vuTZikaHoNI/mqdefault.jpg)
She is so beautiful with every detail of her 💄 Silkstones are delicious!
WOW that hair and outfit!!!...I am a red head and have green eyes......But now my hair is white...started when I was little over 20....
I just love that look of surprise every time at the moment you open your dolls. LOL Especially this one. I don't even collect the silkstones but you are tempting me with this one. As always love your videos.
Haha aww thank you! If you ever get her, let me know. I don't think you will be disappointed :) xoxo
She looks like Joan Crawford (who I adored). I added a black mink "dimitha" fur boa and she is one of my all time favorites!
I got mine yesterday....OMG she is 1000 times better than her picture,,,thanks for going through her outfit in detail...I don't want to do that
I agree! Way prettier in person!
Love just love her red hair
So pretty

Lol, the sounds you make when you open the ribbon :D
Haha ;) I can't help it!
I'm definitely gonna get her after watching this review. This outfit is just so classic!!! Thanks for the amzing review!!
Glad to hear it! I hope you love her as much as I do :) Thanks for watching!
You should do more of the Barbie look😺😺😺😺
Dior's New Look! ♥ Iconic for a damn good reason.
I totally turned my sound down when you warned us, and good thing I did! XD
She's sooooo stunning. I love her so much. One day... ;)
Haha yesssss! I C O N I C !! Yes, one day you must get her (wait for a good sale). xoxo
She looks so classy and sophisticated she's a beaut and these poseable silkstones that their coming out with they need come with high quality fashion packs and beacause there a different size you know like they did with the regular silkstones.
I agree! I really miss the fashion packs. I hope we see more of those in the near future!
I agree, the thinner articulated body just doesn't fit with that era! The classic silkstone curvy body is the most complimentary for these dolls.
Here here!
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful and elegant dolls release since Blush Beauty ❤
I agree!!!!!
omg she is so stunning
IKR?! Love love love
She is wonderful!! I can't wait to get her. The bow is so cutee...and those eyes, such beautiful colors with the make-up, hair and lips! I am glad that she has earrings and that they are different from other silkstone ones i have seen.
Super fun video too :D

Yesss!!!!!
Yay!! Another review. Keep them coming Suresh. :)
Carma
Thanks so much Carma! :)
Also would you please review cocktail dress? The older platinum hair barbie?
I have her! I hope to review her and her sisters from that collection in the near future. Stay tuned!
Omg I love her
Me too!!
STU-HUH-NNING HUNTY!!! The bow, the eye makeup (green is my favvvv color), the construction on that jacket!!
They should have just named her the "This one is for you, Suresh" doll. Hehe
💖💖💖
Haha I wish!! ;)
lovely & funny review
Thanks Evan!! :) xoxo
Love her! I think the only thing that bothers me about her is the one-piece dress.
Yea it's definitely a bit odd. But I suppose it stays tucked in nicely so that's less headache for me, ha! Thanks for watching!
Omg i just got mine today !!!😃
YAY!! I hope you love her as much as I do! :)
Yess i do her face is perfection and that ensemble is sooooooo Dior j'adore 😍
Your bow matches her bow on her dress.
Yes!

Love it! Do it! xoxo
I was born in 58 and ok, they didn't have articulated bodies as we know them now but Barbie had bendable legs as far back as I remember!
Foxiepaws ACAnderson yea! But the articulation is just not cute.
This Silkstone is so Dior
So Dior
Have you tried dressing the older silkies in this outfit. Wonder if it fits
I have not but looking at the proportions of the garment, I do not think it will fit. The bust and hips appear to be smaller than the OG Silkies. I've been planning to do a swap on an upcoming video so stay tuned :)
oh that would be fun to watch
nice review ...also i'm Barbie doll collector the No 1 on Greece (i don't know how many Barbie models i have ,lol) greetings from Αθηνα Hellas ... btw , i have her ;-)
Amazing, welcome to our club here :) xoxo
When I ordered mine it was back ordered too and I was told it be delivered in may. But then I got it a week later
Brag brag brag...j/k. Glad you did tho!
"diarrhea and pass out" 😂lol
Hahaha ;)
Still not loving the articulated body 🙁 but it is such a stunning doll tho 😍😍😍 Can't wait for the next doll 😵😵
I know, me too :( But yea, she is def a stunner!
😍💕
:)
Hello have u ever owned a mod or tnt barbie?
Hi, no I do not.
Wew
Honestly, she reminds me way too much of Tweed Indeed.
Not really. They have very different vibes. There have been many variations of tweed suits in the BFMC collection but this one is closer to Walking Suit in cut, color and silhouette.
