The Christian Dior New Look Barbie Doll is very detailed. The doll comes with underwear, pantyhose which is not the case for most Barbie Dolls. The texture of the box is reminiscent of the Christian Dior pebbled boutique box packaging. The plastic window display case makes it appear as if it is an actual boutique window and makes it needless to take the doll out of the box. The story box of the history of the doll's fashion is short, concise and in two languages. Overall, it is a good buy for lovers of the Christian Dior brand. It allows one to own a piece of luxury at a fairly modest price. Just that the ivory white box pebbled packing needs to be away from anything that can stain it when being shown to people or when appreciating it for oneself.

She is a beautiful doll with the Mackie face. The painting of the eyes is to the right but not in the exaggerated style of the actual Mackie releases. The costume is an accurate rendition of Christian Dior's New Look of the late 1940s. In fact I have seen a photograph of a model wearing this very costume. Mattel even copied the upside-down hat. This is Barbie at her most glamorous best. My only complaint is a general one regarding all Mattel products. I do not like the way they tie down dolls in their boxes with a gazzilion twist-ties, or worse, those plastic anchors.
I added this Dior doll to my collection because she reminds me of the 2012 Afternoon Suit Silkstone BFMC doll. Their outfits are quite similar in design, and they compliment each other nicely. The face on this doll is among the loveliest I've seen on modern Barbies (it does use the Mackie face sculpt) and the hair styling is very accurate for the period. If you want to mix in a little vintage styling to an existing collection, Dior would be the doll for you.
I still haven't removed her from the box.
