Maria Therese

Designed by Robert Best as a tribute to his sister, Maria Therese Barbie is a classic and sophisticated bride, and one of my favourite dolls in my collection.


Barbie's brunette hair is up swept in an elegant bun which complements her pearl tear drop earrings.  She wears a two layered tulle veil which is fastened to her head with a a satin bow. Barbie wears blue eye shadow and red lipstick, and a dewy bridal glow.

Maria Therese's bridal gown is simple yet elegant, with a fitted bodice under a sheer organza overlay. I love her v-shaped back which is fastened with pearl buttons and two satin bows - oh the details!


Beneath her billowing satin and organza gown, Barbie wears thigh high stockings with a blue ribbon garter and tulle petticoat. She wears white high heels and carries a simple bouquet of pink and white flowers.
