For nearly as long as Barbie® doll has been around, so has Lilly Pulitzer. From selling a colorful mélange of a shift dress from her Palm Beach juice stand in the early sixties, to showing a full line of fun 'n flirty clothes during 2005's Fashion Week in New York, Lilly Pulitzer has had an incredible journey in the industry.

The paths of Barbie® doll and Lilly® were bound to cross one day…and now, that day has finally arrived! Introducing the Barbie® Doll and Stacie® Doll Giftset by Lilly Pulitzer. This Silver Label™ giftset will be available later this month at Toys R Us, select Lilly Pulitzer retailers, BarbieĀ® doll Dealers and in the BarbieCollector.com shop

"It's a vintage dress with a modern twist," says Sharon Zuckerman, the Mattel designer who helped bring Lilly's signature style, and flair for casual chic, to Barbie® doll and Stacie® doll, using photos of classic Lilly® dresses for reference.

Barbie® doll wears a tailored shift design, tastefully accessorized with golden hoop earrings, scarf, sunglasses and matching purse. It's a thoroughly unique update to Lilly's first successful styles, which burst upon an unsuspecting world when Jackie Kennedy wore one of Lilly's shifts in a Life Magazine feature.

Stacie® doll wears a child's short shift with matching kerchief in her hair - playful and elegant all in one adorable package, and hearkens back to the shifts Lilly made for her daughters Minnie and Liza, all those years ago.
