The way the gold dress is sewn is how they used to make Barbie's fashions back in the early sixties. They closed with metal snaps or zippers and everything was finished so nicely just as the clothing was for real people. They hadn't devised cheap short cuts for dolls' clothing yet.

6:25 I love the fact that on the newer repro’s and vintage style bodies, Mattel actually made the shape of the hands like the classic original ones. With the separated fingers. Those early reproductions (like the 90’s ones) they had those ugly hands which had to resemble the original hands, but the fingers were molded together. Now they look like they should! These are the details we love! This whole doll looks 100% Classic quality Mattel and I would love to own her, but I’m WAY to late! Haha! (The new doll for this year… those accessories look just sublime too!)
