Image shows Mattel's Tall Barbie from the Fashionista line wearing a hand-made white wedding gown and veil. She stands before a 1:6 scale china hutch filled with tiny pieces of white china that reflect the lovely folds of white lace, eyelet, and velvet ribbons adorning Tall Barbie's wedding dress. Her gown flows above the hard wood floor in her little diorama. Opposite the china hutch is a table holding a white tea set decorated with tiny pink flowers. Above that is a window and between the window and the china hutch, a famous painting of Romeo and Juliet hangs on the wall. Barbie wears a long veil made of lace, pipe cleaners, and ribbon.
