2005 Holiday Barbie doll by Bob Mackie

The 2005 Holiday Barbie doll by Bob Mackie, stock number G8058, is the standard release of that year's entry in the Holiday Dolls series of the Holiday Barbie line, produced for the adult collector segment with an original retail price of $39.98. Designed by Bob Mackie, the doll wears a pink holiday gown of glitter-print jacquard combined with pleated tulle, fuchsia sparkling organza, and pink satin. A silver-edged burgundy sash finishes the gown, and a glittery starburst accents the shoulder. The doll's accessory set includes a brooch, a necklace, earrings, and a crown. Release records for the 2005 design also list a Sears-exclusive version, stock number H9648, wearing a green gown of comparable construction. For the standard G8058 release, the pink-and-fuchsia palette is the primary identification point. The 2005 release brought Bob Mackie's design work into the annual Holiday Barbie program, pairing the layered gown construction of jacquard, tulle, organza, and satin with a full set of crown and jewelry accessories. Collectors cataloging the Holiday Barbie line by year will find the 2005 doll recorded under the Mackie designer credit and the Holiday Dolls series designation.
