OOAK Barbie NiniMomo's Miss Arkansas 2009

From the 25^th State to enter the Union comes this Southern beauty in a gown reminiscent of days gone by with a hint of Dior couture!

Miss Arkansas is resplendent in her strapless evening gown in matte black satin that features a bodice patterned with peony flowers which have been gorgeously covered in hand-sewn sequins and seed beads in shades of pink, saffron, bubble gum pink, red, garnet, and salmon.

Waist has been dramatically enhanced via a peplum of asymmetrical layers of taffeta ruffles in shades of deepest garnet, fuchsia, and pink.

Dangling from left side of peplum are three hand-sewn strands of black seed beads featuring tips of genuine Swarovski crystal teardrop beads in fuchsia and red.

Skirt of gown has also been covered at front and back with same peony flowers which have been gorgeously hand-beaded in shades of pink and red.

Hem of gown is finished, like peplum, in multiple layers of ruffled taffeta, complete with an off-set peony accent.

A very decadent and very Dior hat adds a late 19^th century feel to this beauty with its taffeta layers and taffeta flowers all of which has been accented with hand-beadwork.

Finishing off the antique feel of the ensemble is a custom created parasol that features rich lace overlaid upon pink taffeta complete with custom made ruffle edging.
Parasol also features silver Bali bead tip and handle and black cording tie.

Decadent shoulder dusters of genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestones, bi-cones and teardrops.

A matching choker has been created in genuine Swarovski crystal bicones and pearl beads as well as pink fiber optic cat’s eye glass beads.
