Brand New Unopened Box Dolls of the World Moroccan Barbie


Brand New Unopened Box Dolls of the World Moroccan Barbie
From Mattel

After a little research (National Geographic articles), I would say this costume is what an American designer thought he/she saw when looking at a costume from Fez -- sort of like when people look at Japanese costume and see bell sleeves and fold-over collars that just aren't there! The actual garment is an over-robe split up the front and open on each side to the hip, with the sash around the waist. To the American, this looked like a dress with two hanging panels. And so forth. Non-European DOTW Barbies frequently have authenticity problems because of this perceptual difficulty resulting from designers not really studying up. Still, a lovely doll, and more authentic than the usual Arabian Nights stuff.
