Barbie is getting a wedding dress for Christmas at least she is if Ricky Konshak has anything to say about it.
The micro-seamstress is at it for a third straight year, sewing hundreds of little dresses for Barbie dolls and donating them to charity.
This year, Konshak stitched more than 300 tiny wedding dresses for Christmas Unlimited and Toys for Tots. In what is becoming a holiday tradition, more than 60 of the dresses spent the month of November on display at Brookdale Skyline, a senior-living residence in west Colorado Springs, where Konshak lives.
The wedding-day Barbies are clothed in a variety of styles. Some of the dresses are elaborate and ornate; others are simple and elegant. Some are adorned with beads; others are festooned with ribbons.
