Mattel did a superb job with the Princess of China Barbie as the design is true to the Qing Dynasty period. Her face is delicate and feminine which complements the elaborate hat adorned with peony roses. Barbie wears a gold crown like ornament which matches her gold drop earrings.
Barbie's fuscia coloured dress is eye catching and but her "flower pot" shoes looked more like suede boots! Nevertheless, kudos for the effort!
