Barbie Adams

Barbie Adams
The Party Dress Book, by Mary Adams, an American designer, inspired this.  Mary Adams' clothes are vibrant scene-stealers.  Her wedding dresses are symphonies of colour that command center stage.  The skirts bounce with layers of glorious shades reflecting the full spectrum of rainbow hues.

Some Mary Adams designs that I particularly love include a white wedding dress with a ruffled deep blue underskirt and one with many crinolines in shades of red. I also like the ones inspired by Marie Antoinette 's wardrobe.

Barbie put on this dress and it made her want to twirl around and around until she was dizzy.
