OOAK Barbie NiniMomo's Miss Tuva 2008

From the Russian Republic situated in central Asia on the borders of Siberia and Mongolia comes this fashion savvy haute-couture runway stunner in a short evening ensemble inspired by Dior’s Spring 2008 Collection.

Miss Tuva turns heads in her pale pink shantung evening dress that begins with a strapless, simple bodice that gives way to a billowy empire styled skirting that pleats and folds at thighs where it cinches in revealing a tight short skirt beneath.

Dress has been meticulously hand-beaded with drizzling lengths of mixed tiny sequins and seed beads in shades of black, metallic gold and mineral green.

Beadwork adorns entire circumference of puffed skirting as well as bodice.

A main focal point is the dramatic origami inspired matching pink shantung flower that adorns center bodice.

Flower has been gorgeously hand-beaded to match beadwork on evening dress.

A matching rounded evening bag of same pink shantung has been elegantly hand-beaded to match and features a semi-circle gold handle.

Opulent and ostentatious is her oversized hat of gold liquid lame lined within in same lame.

Hat has been adorned with a “cap” of hand-sewn sequins and matching seed beads in mineral green surrounded by a hand-sewn row of black sequins with matching seed bead centers.

Outer brim of hat has also been finished in a row of hand-sewn black sequins and seed beads.

Very Dior platform shoes decorated with metallic gold accents features matching pink laces with bowties and has been adorned with dangling tiny hand-sewn gold seed bead work.

Hoop earrings in gold scattered with genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestones and Swarovski crystal rhinestone studs.

Banded bracelets in golden filigree bedecked with genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestones adorn both arms.
