Vintage Barbie, Ken, and Skipper. The Barbie has a vintage wedding dress on. Skipper's bathing suit is original, but I don't think it's all there. Ken is in GI Joe's borrowed Dress Blues. They don't fit him though...poor Ken. Barbie comes complete with bridal boquet. I was told that she is a Ponytail #4 or 5. Comes with pearl earrings...no green ear. Only paid $50 for her.

Love the Barbie bride. And the dress Marine uniform.
She is a number 4 for sure, I can tell by her facial structure and lovely soft bangs, (5's bangs were replaced with a harder more wiry hair material) she's very nice, a true beauty and for $50, wow great deal ! :)
The number 4 Barbie also had stiff bangs they ended with #3 . Some of the Barbies and yours could be 4 or 5 but not much difference there is now added there could be a 6 also ponytail , some got oily skin yours appears it did not get it that is good . She is beautiful but . Thanks for sharing your Pontytail and Skipper and Semper Fi to the marine suit . Ken had a Marine suit in fact I still had one till a month ago and gave to my daughter . You should be able to find one fairly cheap on Ebay for him . Love love xox
To clarify Ponytail Barbie #1-2 and 3 are soft bangs :-)
