A New Dress for 28-inch Barbie

A colorful dress for 28-inch Barbie by Patdoodles

I purchased a stylish dress and matching headband for my 28-inch Barbie during a live doll sale hosted by Patdoodles on Youtube. Pat Green (a.k.a. Patdoodles) hosts live doll shows on YouTube and Whatnot. During the YouTube live, the dress was modeled by a 28-inch Barbie like the one I own. It was made for the event. It arrived with gift items described later in this post.

Before my doll modeled her new dress, she took a before photo. I love the fashion she was wearing, but it's always nice to have a change or two.

This outfit shows off Barbie's shapely figure. It was purchased on Etsy from another seller a few weeks ago.

Barbie models her new dress and matching headband. Both fit her perfectly.

Here is a close-up of the headband which has an attached bow.

During the YouTube live, which was a Black History doll sale, Pat asked a series of Black History trivia questions and gave Black History information cards and stickers to the first person who answered correctly. Along with the dress, I received the following gifts from Pat.

Gifts from Pat

Ida B. Wells Black Heritage postage stamp postcard

The text on the Ida B. Wells postcard reads:

    A courageous fighter against injustice and social wrongs, Ida B. Wells won an international reputation for her fiery denunciation of discrimination, exploitation and brutality. She began her career as a teacher, but soon became a journalist who had to flee Memphis for New York when her newspaper, The Memphis weekly Free Speech, was demolished in 1892 by an angry mob.
 

    In New York, she published Southern Horrors, and The Red Record, the first statistical study of lynching. Settling in Chicago in 1895, she continued to contribute to newspapers and periodicals; founded a settlement house to assist migrant African Americans in finding jobs and homes; helped organize the NAACP, and devoted much of her later years to promoting voting rights for women through marches and other lobbying activities. 

A sticker with an image of a vintage couple was included in the gift package from Pat.

A Dear Black Girl affirmation sticker is the 3rd of three items in the gift package from Pat.

Black ABC Cards

Black ABC Cards

The Black ABC Cards were not part of Patdoodles' sale. I purchased these from an Etsy shop. They arrived the same day as the Barbie fashion. The cards are a reproduced mini version of the original 1970 Black ABC Cards. These cards measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches and feature African American children and adults for each alphabet, e.g. A is for afro; Z is for zip. These high-quality cards are a nice substitute for the original version I had long desired. The Etsy seller sent a full-size "D is for dream" card as a thank you gift.
