I keep encountering problems when searching for clothes for Absinthe. I imagine that she wears clothes from the Victorian era, but all the Tonner Victorianish clothes that I want are expensive. I am left with 3 options:<\/p>\n
Absinthe’s white shift, which she came with. Good for a nightgown or running around in the house, but not formal wear.
\nLeonora’s burgundy velvet dress, from Victorian Lady Barbie. Good for winter and formal portraits, but not spring\/summer.
\nJustine’s purple walking suit, from P.F. Albee Barbie. Good for spring\/summer, but has been stretched to boobular proportions by Justine.<\/p>\n
However, it is possible to find other Barbie-based Victorian fashions. For example, Barbie with Cedric Bear, a dressing gown and nightgown combo, can be purchased for ~$20.00, if one knows where to look on Ebay. Victorian Tea Barbie [the plastic one], a white summer outfit, can be purchased for between $20.00 and $30.00. Same for Gibson Girl Barbie, a 1910s working woman’s outfit. The Disney Mary Poppins Barbie, a very stylized white 1910s outing dress, can go for <$20.00. Sentimental Valentine Barbie, a dress for winter formals, has an outfit from the 1830s, more properly the period of Absinthe’s adulthood, and she goes for well <$20.00. No one wants her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
