    Walleye stare is the funniest expression about Midge but it’s spot on! I have the Winter Wedding on my brunette Midge. It was very yellow when I got it. I soaked it in oxy clean and it’s bright white now. I love your wedding collection! Some Ive never seen. I had the Tracy Bride and some of the gowns from the 80s.

      I bet midge looks beautiful in winter wedding! Timeless look. I definitely should get more 70s and 80s brides. Thanks so much!❤️❤️

    How amazing is the quality of the materials used in those earlier dresses. I think the 3rd & 5th dresses are my favourites. I hate to think what Mattel would charge nowadays for such beautiful gowns. Also, "that's what she said" 😂 I do love that you incorporate your sense of humour into your videos and glad to see you're feeling better now. Keep on doing what you do

    Divine materials and styling on the earlier gowns! Thanks so much for sharing! In the 40s-60s, my grandmother, her mother and her sisters used to get up every morning and dress up in some pretty refined clothes. It was a different era and the earlier Barbie fashions you showcase represent that. Btw, that Winter Wedding dress is freaking gorgeous!

    Your Barbie wedding dress collection is beyond amazing ! It all looks so white compared to mine ! I store them in blue tissue paper & I bring them out for a photoshoots or displays About 10 years ago the summer Gay marriage was passed I photographed Barbie marrying Midge & Ken marring Allen for a charity event at The Gay Community center in NYC .I created light boxes & used film for large transparencies that were auctioned off. Seeing this makes me want to do a display & create a June Bride theme this summer ! I had the hardest time with the very first gown Wedding Day Set gown from 1959 ! I kept tearing the lace right at the neck every time I put it on a doll . Finally after damaging so many , I got one last one and very carefully put it on a #3 she has lived in it for decades ... Thanks for the making the BEST content on RUclips* , totally inspiring ! Cheers Matt Sky

    Another video that was so much fun to watch! I remember not liking the short sleeves on the '63 wedding outfit when it came out so I didn't want that outfit for my dolls (had a brunette ponytail Barbie and red flip Midge too! Also a brunette flocked hair Ken). But now I really like the style. I did have the Orange Blossom outfit - I was too dumb to realize it was supposed to be a bridesmaid dress! I really enjoyed seeing the other wedding outfits you showed. It's really sad how much more effort Mattel used to put into its dolls' clothes.

    One of my cousins wore something like Wedding Wonder and it's the coolest thing she ever wore (not something you usually say about bridal gowns!). I've got a few of these. Love the winter ones... they look like something a princess would wear. I wish you'd included the 1975/76 Beautiful Brides. I have the mod one and am just obsessed with her (admittedly, the doll more than the dress).

    The 1972 wedding dress looks like a Gunnysak brand that was so popular with us then. I have the Midge wedding set. The wedding dresses from the 1960’s were less elaborate. Probably due to what was going on with the war in Vietnam. People got married quickly because of the draft and didn’t have the elaborate weddings. They are all beautiful dresses.

    • @Thedollswitness

    I used to think Midge was the ugliest doll ever - uglier than Dusty lol - but one day I asked myself, "what if she had been released before Barbie?" It wouldn't fix the walleye stare, but if you take Barbie out of the equation, she's actually kind of cute. Probably would have been less controversial too, as her face is more youthful. I'm still not going out of my way to get one, but wouldn't mind adding her to my collection.
    Whenever I see a tent dress, I always think of the quote attributed to Zsa Zsa Gabor on why she liked them: "because I look so good when I take them off" LOL.
    So many layers, details, and trims on vintage doll clothes! We need to see the Ken version of this. I have a recent wedding gown, and it doesn't fit right on ANY of my dolls. I love they have shape variety, but not making clothes specifically for the body types annoys me.
