I had a barbie that I remember but, can't remember her name. She was dressed in this red velvet like material. She had a top that had the red velvet for the top and the sleeves were white tulle ( i think) with like red hearts all over. I remember her skirt being either partially white tulle or maybe completely with the same little red hearts. Can anyone remember her name. I think it was a mid 80's doll. I would really like to find one, but, I can't do that with out her name!

I found your dolls name and dress on ebay......Her name is Loving You Barbie...I tried to copy and paste the link but I couldnt get it to work...but you can search for her on e-bay and find her. She came out in 1983...Good Luck!!!
