I just died when I got this doll years ago still open the box to look at her from time to time. “Don’t yell at me lol” 🤣 you know I’m not as brave as you all 60+ dolls are still in the box
That doll is absolutely and utterly SENSATIONAL!!! The "good-old-days" of Silkstone Barbie glorified perfection! She's completely EXQUISITE! Thanks for a great review!
LOVED your review, and your sweet homage to little Suresh. I'm a huge fan of bride dolls, as well. I especially enjoy any opportunity to see vintage bridal wear and pour over photos to see the tiny details! That - plus your wonderful sense of humor - make(s) your reviews so wonderful. I love seeing either vintage Babs or the Barbie Fashion Model dolls that harken back to the early days, too. By the way, you might enjoy checking out the flower called stephanotis. My mother had a bouquet of all stephanotis when she married my dad in the early 1950s! Love you xo
STUNNING doll! She's so BEAUTIFUL in every way. Great review. You never disappoint. The good old days of high quality Barbie dolls for adult collectors. All the best to you. Loved this review!
So I'm not suuuper into bridal dolls but you have a way of making me want this one by the end of the video anyway. She's lovely ❤️. RIP to the stache!! You look great either way.
I love bride dolls, too. In my day, it was every little girls wish to have a bride doll for her bed. I made my first and only barbie a bridal gown when I was 9. Wish I still had it.
I ordered her for my birthday she’s going to be the first in my collection I’m excited to get her ! Hopefully mine is as beautiful as this one and the start of a good collection
So so pretty. Timeless classic. Just like black n white photos. I love the dresses from the 50’s! It was a must your purse, gloves n hat had to match. And God forbid your slip or bra strap was showing! I love the tea cup length dresses n they flared out. Such class. Hugs debs dresses.
D C haha well I’m glad all that’s gone out the door as a dressing requirement and now just an option since no woman should be required to do any of those things but yes, it’s fun to see a quality reproduction of those times in Barbie form. Thanks for watching Debs
Hello dear Suresh, ur love for brides as a child is so adorable. I def agree that a good doll collection should have a good bride. The Maria Therese Bridal Barbie is elegantly pretty n I've been eyeing the Grace Kelly bride doll as I absolutely admire that classic style for bridal gowns n the Grace Kelly dress is such an iconic one. As amazing as that doll is, however, I really was looking for a bridal Barbie that appealed to me n I found the porcelain version of the 1959 Wedding Party Barbie n I fell in love. I ordered her right away n I treasure her so much. I feel the wedding gown from this exquisite porcelain reproduction was superiorly reconstructed in comparison to the original as it has stronger, yet still delicate, foundations n a longer, prominent train. I, of course, have made the doll my own by replacing certain aspects n embellishing my Barbie bride wit my own personal touches. The Grace Kelly bridal doll is still such a lovely collector's item but since I've attained the porcelain Wedding Party Barbie, my desire for a bridal doll has been pacified, for now. I'll b happy to send u some pics through Instagram as soon as I add the final touches. Hope all is well for u n urs. Cheers. +_0
Oh, for the days when Barbie was drop dead gorgeous and worth whatever you paid for her. When my mother bought her (#2) for me I appreciated her clothes, her hair, and just everything about her. *sigh*
Oh wow, she is gorgeous! I do not care for bridal dolls very much but this silkstone bride is a musthave. Her outfit, the details, beautiful. I will add her to my collection but she is a bit expensive over here, so I will be patient :) Thanks for the review Suresh.
March is the month of Barbie's birthday and mine too! And guess what? This extraordinary Silkstone will be the gift that I'm gonna give to myself!!! So, thank you so much for this video! Now I just can't wait to have her in my hands! And this is a very good feeling!!! She is so absolutely perfect! I love your unboxings and reviews and this one came up at the right moment! So, now, what about two other videos of two other marvelous Barbie brides? I'm talking about 2005 Caroline Herrera's and the fabulous 2007 Reem Acra Barbie Bridal. I think they could be very good subjects! What do you think? Once again, thank you very much for the video and sorry for my English! It's not good enough, I know!😕😊💕
Hey, have you ever tried the Clover Mini Iron for pressing? I haven't tried it yet but finding the larger iron hard to work with on such small clothes...
So the ribbons on a bridal bouquet have a traditional meaning. Traditionally they would be cut to just tip the ground as the bride walked down the isle so long as they didn’t trip her up, and they represent the long life together the couple hoped to have. Often the ribbons were satin and were tied into several tiny knotted bows and those bows represent each happy year of a beautiful marriage you hope to have topped with a bouquet of beautiful flowers symbolic of the freshness of the union you were about to enter. The flowers themselves had tons of hidden meanings but white meant purity of love. Pink meant kindness and faithfulness. And red of course meant passion which is why it is a color not often used in bridal bouquets but is a colour often given by a man. Some brides still have long ribbon bouquets and I personally adore them and I love that this silkstone had them.
Great in depth review as always! She's a special doll indeed as one of only two bridal silkies, the other being the Principessa. It's something noteworthy and I was hoping for an honorable mention of her, but oh well 😜😜 Her name is oddly confusing tho. Seems like a mix of Spanish/Italian/Portuguese and French, but personally I found it more natural to refer to her in full French as Marie Thérèse or simply Marie. But that's just me. It's the name of the famous 18th century Habsburg empress and mother of Marie Antoinette, but she's always referred to either in French as written above or in Spanish/Portuguese/Italian as Maria Teresa, but not both. Perhaps there's a story behind it that we don't know about ☺️☺️
hi love I'm new to your channel, and I have to say, I LOVE IT!!!! I wanted to know what type of doll stands do you use, and where do you get them from? I love to see other men that share my passion and love for Barbie. XOXO
Thanks doll and welcome! I use Fashion Royalty doll stands made by Integrity Toys. The clear base and silver telescope. You can usually buy them in bulk on ebay :) xoxo
I purchased her used and she unfortunately came with green ear. But my mother purchased her new in 02 and hers doesn't have it after all these years. It will depend on if you live in a humid area or conditions in where you store her.
phoebe De Monte Falcon yessss it looks so good from average viewing distance because it somehow balances her face just right. And yes eBay is scary and a lot of doll resellers rip people off 🙄
So refined and fantastic veil, for once...
If I'd had a big wedding, I would have ordered a gown like that. Gorgeous.
I just died when I got this doll years ago still open the box to look at her from time to time. “Don’t yell at me lol” 🤣 you know I’m not as brave as you all 60+ dolls are still in the box
Charity Mack haha aw I’m glad you’re enjoying her in your own way 😘
One of my favorite Silkstone dolls. I love her demure style. These were the days of quality Barbie.
Scott Paquin yes Scott, she is so gorg 😘
That doll is absolutely and utterly SENSATIONAL!!!
The "good-old-days" of Silkstone Barbie glorified perfection!
She's completely EXQUISITE!

M.Sharon Barbie Collector I would love to have those two bride dolls! They’re on my list so we shall see 😘 Thanks for watching!
Hi, you have the Barbie forever black and white? You should post a video, please
Hey, have you ever tried the Clover Mini Iron for pressing? I haven't tried it yet but finding the larger iron hard to work with on such small clothes...
Wade McLure I have yea but I use it primarily for pressing seams open etc when I’m sewing. I don’t use it much for pressing completed garments.
@@SureshNYC I was going to buy it but was scared it might burn the fabric (wasn't sure if the heat was adjustable)

Hi Suresh! Do you have the "In the Pink" Barbie? I would die to see a review from you on her!!! 😍😍💕 I've always wanted to get her!!
Omg no but she is one of my holy grail dolls!!
Do a restyle like dephine! I love watching clothes being steamed
TheRealSammySan lol really? I’ll try.

LINDA E MARAVILHOSA 👏👏
Que hermosa!!
Lindíssima!!!!🤗🥰❤🌷
Will she get green ear from the earrings I just got her and I’m worried about that
I purchased her used and she unfortunately came with green ear. But my mother purchased her new in 02 and hers doesn't have it after all these years. It will depend on if you live in a humid area or conditions in where you store her.
Es preciosaaaaaa
Isn’t it amazing to want something for many years and finally get it?
Best feeling ever!
@@SureshNYC btw... loving the blond hair!! Hugs from Tokyo
I noticed that the first silkstones have cartoony eyes. I love it. I want to start collecting early 2000s silkstones but ebay is a scary market!
phoebe De Monte Falcon yessss it looks so good from average viewing distance because it somehow balances her face just right. And yes eBay is scary and a lot of doll resellers rip people off 🙄
😍😍
Love your collection! Hope you can check my own barbie collection too 😘😘😘
Good video! Keep it up! Would you like to be UA-cam friends? :)
