The bodice was fashioned of the red satin. The red jacket was lined in white satin and had two “diamonds” at the closure at the waist.

The underskirt was fashioned of a gauze underskirt topped by a lace-edged taffeta skirt with a ruffle of tulle accented by tiny red grosgrain bows. (The underskirt is fragile and the bows fade to orange if exposed excessively to light.) Red open-toe shoes and long white nylon gloves completed the ensemble.


Notes:
Glorious palest aqua satin and deeper aqua georgette blended in Barbie® doll’s evening ensemble. The satin dress featured a petal bodice and a waistband and overskirt of georgette.

Notes:
Barbie® doll’s dream came true! She had always wanted to visit England and now she was in London! The tour of the familiar landmarks was super despite the chilly fog-ridden weather! Barbie® doll had prepared for the country—she bought an ecru vinyl coat with flared skirt and double-breasted bodice with wide collar. There were four large buttons at the closure.

The pointed belle sleeves were lined with golden satin and a golden chain belt was attached to the gown. Barbie® doll’s armlets were fashioned of red knit and her shoes featured red and gold brocade. The same brocade formed the crown of her wimple, which had a navy felt edging and gold chiffon snood and neck strap. A full-color theatre program was included.


Notes:
Mysterious veils, blue smoke rising from a golden lamp, and a Far Eastern temptress who beguiles the hearts of many! Barbie® doll enjoyed such a fantasy in her Arabian Nights costume fashioned in a luscious pink satin and chiffon. Her fitted blouse featured a back closure and her long skirt was a combination of satin and gold embellished chiffon, which fastened in a layer of pleats at the side. Her matching pink chiffon sari flowed in front of her face revealing only her beautiful eyes! The golden accessories provided exotic accents to the ensemble. Gold foil over plastic formed the slippers with up-turned toes, “gold” filigree drop earrings, gold and turquoise bead necklace, three snake bracelets (one gold and two turquoise), and of course, the golden plastic lamp completed the ensemble. A full-color theatre program also included.


Notes:
Barbie® doll looked smart in her red velvet jacket with golden braid trim on the sleeves, collar, and bodice. It topped a cute accordion pleated short skirt with built-in panty. Panty hose helped guard against the icy cold. Cute white plastic majorette boots with molded tassels, short white tricot gloves, a big red fake fur hat with golden trim and white ornament with chinstrap topped off the super look. The highflying baton was included – actually a dowel with golden tip and a large gold glitter covered ball.

Notes:
This senorita was ready to steal Ken® doll’s heart away in her mysterious black mantilla of lace. Her two-piece dress was actually a white cotton lace-trimmed blouse and petticoat in one! (Often the elastic thread in this piece needs replacing.) A beautiful full red and green satin skirt had black braid with floral embroidery. Barbie® doll’s festive accessories included a long strand of gray crystal-looking beads and white pearl stud earrings with a loop of gray crystal looking beads that matched her necklace. Her shoes were red open-toe pumps. A full-color travel pamphlet completed the set.


Notes:
This is one of the most beautiful travel costumes from the exciting 1964 series! The red crepe kimono had a golden printed leaf design. A white scarf with snap was sewn into the neck of the kimono. Barbie® doll’s obi was a rich gold and cream lamé. The beautiful accessories included three hair ornaments: a fabric flower with three metal dangles, a plastic orange and yellow stick, and a cluster of pink buds. Barbie® doll’s shoes were thongs made of a red plastic sole with metallic silver insole and gold braid thong. The white nylon sock was attached to the thong - these were very fragile! Barbie® doll’s samisen was molded of dark brown plastic with a white top and white elastic strings. There was a royal purple tassel on the end of the samisen. To complete the elegant look, there was a gold foil paper fan with black plastic frame. Don’t try to open it; it is molded into a permanently closed position! A full-color travel pamphlet was included.


Notes:
The story starts with Cinderella (Barbie® doll) sweeping with her straw broom with black plastic handle. She wore her “poor” dress that featured an olive canvas skirt with patches and a black bodice with red lacings and white sleeves. After her fairy godmother transformed her into a beautiful princess, Cinderella (Barbie® doll) was ready to meet Prince Charming (Ken® doll). Her “rich” gown was a combination of satin and lamé. The dress came with two types of silver sparkle patterns on either a pale yellow or a golden satin. The bodice was silver lamé with a stand-up tulle collar with silver edging. There was a white tulle half overskirt, too. Her headpiece was a silver braid tiara with two tulle trailing panels. She had beautiful clear “glass” (plastic) slippers with silver glitter and long white tricot gloves. A full-color theatre program was also included.


Notes:
Barbie® doll looked darling in a blue blouse with white edging and embroidered braid trim topping a brightly striped long skirt. A white apron with edging and a Dutch girl hat added authentic accents to the costume. The hat had a flexible edging in front to keep the perky up-turned shape. Barbie® doll also had thigh-high long white cotton socks, authentic-looking wooden shoes (actually they are tan plastic!), and a full-color travel pamphlet.


Notes:
Barbie® doll’s pretty peasant dress featured a gathered neckline on the white bodice, a pink full skirt, and a pretty attached embroidered apron. A green felt corset with brass grommets was tied with a green cord. A white eyelet lace bonnet looked pretty and feminine tied under her chin. White open-toe shoes, white fabric flowers in a ribboned bouquet, and a full-color travel pamphlet completed the set.


Notes:
To grandmother’s house she goes - but beware Barbie® doll, the big, bad wolf may be waiting for you! Wearing a blue dress with tiny white dots, a separate black felt corset with yellow laces and long white cotton socks with unusual black "leatherette" shoes, Barbie® doll played the title role in this frightful fable. Accessories included a red cape of fleece with a hood and a tie at the neck, and a soft straw basket featuring a red and white checked un-hemmed napkin liner and six rolls for Grandma (They were made of yellow wax topped with red paint and were molded together as one piece.).

Barbie® doll added a red plaid vinyl zippered bag to the ensemble.


Notes:
Barbie® doll was a vision of fairytale dreams come true in her formal wedding gown! Fashioned in pure white satin and flocked and silver glitter accented tulle, her gown had a satin lining with long-sleeved bodice and double-tiered skirt with cathedral train of the flower-flocked tulle. The workmanship was superb. Her veil featured plain white tulle caught by a ring of simulated pearls.

Notes:
Barbie® doll looked adorable in her cool blue and white striped cotton sundress with woven design and back zipper. A big beige straw cartwheel hat with blue ribbon hatband kept the sun out of her eyes. A matching blue satin interior headband held the hat neatly in place. Barbie® doll’s straw tote bag (shown with two variations of weave) was filled with the fruit. (The monotone, heavier weave tote was found in earlier 1959 sets which included #1 shoes and TM "tagged" fashions. A single “pearl” drop on chain necklace and white open-toe shoes completed the summer look.


Notes:
Found only in the 1959 catalog, this travel ensemble featured one of the rarest of all accessories - the tiny brass compact. No more than 3/8” in diameter, this treasure of the Barbie® doll world was hinged and opened to reveal a mirror and a tiny pink puff! Snapped closed, the famous Barbie® “B” was engraved on top. Other accessories included a white plastic purse with gold bead closure, black-rimmed glasses in a white and clear plastic case, pink plastic comb, and hankie. The outfit included the dress and belt from Cruise Stripes #918 with a matching red and white ribbed coat with red half chiffon lining and gold-buttoned front. The hat was difficult to find—it’s a red straw cord half-hat with cord bow in back. Other accessories included a “pearl” on chain necklace, white short tricot gloves, and black open-toe shoes. Early "TM" versions included the appearance of "hand sewn" short white tricot gloves.

Notes:
In her modern Scarlet O’Hara dress, Barbie® doll conjured up romantic images! Her waltz-length party dress in pink sheer dot fabric with lace and soutache braid between tiers and around the neck topped a white nylon petticoat with tulle ruffles and single ribbon accent. A big picture hat with straw crown, woven brim, and flower bud accents kept the southern sun out of Barbie® doll’s eyes. A matching straw purse with sequin and bead accents, graduated pink “pearls,” matching snake bracelet and pink "pearl" earrings, short white tricot gloves, and light pink open-toe pumps completed the look. (There are at least two lace patterns used for this set.)


Notes:
After her exciting adventures during the day, Barbie® doll settled down at night in something glamorous with her stuffed doggie! And this ultra-sheer, whisper pink, tricot gown with Grecian bodice tie and ribbon and bead rosebud bodice accent was perfect. Her matching ribbed tricot peignoir with sheer sleeves featured one left pocket with a matching ribbon/bead rosebud accent and a big bow tie at the neck. Feminine pink bedroom scuffs included pink open toe heels with pink small pompons! Her cute stuffed dog was fashioned of pink felt with navy ears and tail, black nose, black/white eyes, and red collar.


Notes:
All heads turn when Barbie® doll wore the ultimate in late 50’s glamour - the bubble dress! This ensemble is definitely one of the most desirable, not only for its rarity but for its beauty and significance in depicting the high style of the period. The dress was fashioned in a deep blue pindot rayon taffeta with accent self-bows edged in white. These bows adorned the hem in front and the top of the zipper closing in the back. Many accessories included a glamorous veiled headband hat in matching blue tulle. A fluffy "Barbie" labeled faux fur stole with white satin lining, long white tricot gloves, and deep blue open-toe pumps added more excitement to the evening look. No outfit was complete without jewelry and in this case, a graduated strand of faux pearls and matching earrings did the trick. A small gold velvet clutch with gold bead closure, lined in white satin completed the ensemble.


Notes:
For those fun-filled vacation days, Barbie® doll wore red, white, and blue nautical gear. A red sailcloth jacket with middy collar, patch pockets, and white trim top a knit navy/white horizontal striped sleeveless shell and white “cuffed” sailcloth shorty shorts. The special accessories that set Barbie® doll apart at the resort included a cute sailcloth hat in white, cork wedgies with white uppers, and a gold-tone charm bracelet with three sawtooth circle charms. Smooth sailing, Barbie® doll!

Notes:
The slim brocade dress found in Golden Girl #911 accessorized completely for a fabulous night on the town! The matching gold and white brocade coat was slim in styling with three-quarter length sleeves trimmed in brown fur, and was completely lined in a pale blue satin for contrast. The “pearl” trimmed fur headband hat matched the brown fur cuffs and is accented by a “pearl” necklace with matching earrings, turquoise wide wale corduroy clutch with white satin lining and gold bead closure, and a tiny un-hemmed white hankie (hankies had a woven-in line pattern - they were not made from plain fabric.) Brown open-toe pumps and short white tricot gloves completed Barbie® doll’s elegant ensemble.


Notes:
The perfect lingerie set for those full-skirted dresses that Barbie® doll loved to wear! The beautifully pastel embroidered full half-slip complemented her matching white embroidered briefs and bra.

This same dress was also used in #971 Easter Parade. Dresses found with the "Barbie" clothing label are #917 Apple Print Sheath while dresses found minus the inside label belong to #971 Easter Parade.

Notes:
In this ensemble, Barbie® doll’s fashion designs were imaginative and colorful and all her clients love them! She tied up two black and white illustrations (3 on each sheet) of her designs in her own green lined black portfolio with “Barbie, Fashion Designer” imprinted in white. She looked intelligent and efficient in black-rimmed glasses and a red linen suit.

A cotton underdress combined the look of a puffed-sleeved blouse with a ruffled petticoat. She wore black open-toe heels. Barbie® doll had her own signature black plastic tray with silver Barbie® logo to serve soft drinks on! The two drink glasses included were clear plastic with painted orange contents. The two tiny solid plastic straws are hard for collectors to find. The black tray also came flat in earlier produced versions.


Notes:

Notes:
Barbie® doll pulled on her blue plastic shower cap with colorful decoration before jumping into the shower to get ready for her special date. A golden colored sponge on pale pink handle formed her back brush. (Many of these have deteriorated, so you find only a handle.) Her blue terry washcloth had a matching bath towel, which had a “Hers” monogram in ink that will run or disappear when laundered. Her tiny pink plastic bar of soap had a “B” on top! A golden box of talc (empty) with powder blue puff was the finishing touches in her beauty regime!

Notes:
This beautiful bridesmaid’s outfit came with all the same components as in the 1959-1962 version - yellow underdress, white overdress, tulle hat, bouquet, white open-toe shoes. The difference this year was the length of the gloves! The short gloves were replaced with elbow gloves this year.

Some earlier versions have included the insignia sewn-in rather than the more commonly found in applique


Notes:
When the warmth of the day gave way to romantic whispers of evening, Barbie® doll curled up by her fireplace with a Nat King Cole album on her Hi-Fi. She wore an elegant pants ensemble featuring a white knit halter with cutout back, and trim powder blue velvet slacks.

Cork wedgies with metallic gold uppers completed the evening look that Ken® doll found “Unforgettable.”


Notes:
What an elegant ensemble! Barbie® doll turned heads when she wore this rich red velvet tent coat. The sleeves puff and push up to a three-quarter length over long white tricot gloves. The banded neckline had a self-bow at the single snap closure. The coat was lined in rich white satin, as was the matching clutch bag with “diamond” button closure. A red velvet pillbox hat with accent bow and red open-toe shoes completed the classic 60’s look.

A smart felt pillbox hat in cocoa and white, graduated “pearls,” matching earrings, and brown open-toe pumps completed her winning look.


Notes:
The basic black dress made more interesting with the touch of white organdy. The double-breasted, white-buttoned bodice gave way to a big shawl collar of organdy. The full-skirted dress was usually found in faille but it was also made in polished cotton. The big, white picture hat with black velvet hatband framed Barbie® doll’s face with flattering softness. Black open-toe pumps completed the ensemble.


Notes:
Barbie® doll looked irresistible in her cool blue and white striped date dress with sheer organdy overskirt with accent strip at hem and bodice! Little striped bows added interest to the hem and bodice. So cute!


Notes:
Pink flowers and pindots danced across Barbie® doll’s cool summer cotton dress with white eyelet inset panel in the full skirt. A perky pink accent bow added interest to Barbie® doll’s tiny waistline. Short white tricot gloves and white open-toe shoes completed the summery outfit.


Notes:
The detail and workmanship in this ensemble were superb with the wide velvet coat with stand-up collar. The coat was fully lined in pink silk. The huge skirt on the silk dress had silver tone filigree lace trim, as did the bodice. The accessories included a strand of pink “pearls,” long white tricot gloves, pink open-toe pumps, and the crowning touch - a clear plastic tiara with molded silver glitter (or a solid gray plastic tiara with no glitter).


Notes:
This is an updated version of Evening Splendour #961. This ensemble is harder to find than #961 due to the shorter length of time on the market. The fabric in this set was a rich red and gold brocade fashioned into a sheath dress and matching coat. The coat featured a red satin lining and brown fur trim. The hat was a brown fur and “pearl” headband design. Other accessories included a “pearl” necklace and earrings, brown open-toe pumps, a small red velvet clutch lined in white satin with gold bead closure, and a tiny hankie, too!


Notes:
Who wouldn’t love a bridesmaid’s dress in buttercup yellow and frothy white?

Barbie® doll’s hat was fashioned of yellow tulle and was identical in design to that of the Gay Parisienne #964 hat. Her bouquet of fabric flowers with lace base was like the bouquet in Wedding Day #972 with yellow and white streamers. White short tricot gloves and white open-toe pumps completed the lovely ensemble.


Notes:
Ken® doll had box seats for the Little Theatre’s production of “Cinderella.” Barbie® doll couldn’t wait to see her favorite dream-come-true story again! For such a special occasion she wore this elegant evening suit in emerald green. The styling was smart - the sheath skirt featured a peplum! Topping this off was a matching wide-collared bolero and pillbox hat with bow accent. (These two pieces were made from the pattern used in the satin mix ‘n match pieces available this same year.) A white satin sleeveless blouse added a contrasting touch. Finishing the look were emerald green open-toe pumps.


Notes:
Barbie® doll will dance the night away in a whirl of sparkling white satin! Made from the pattern of the famous Silken Flame #977, this dress featured a flocked and glittered full skirt. Accessorizing the look were a metallic gold clutch bag, matching belt (like Silken Flame), and clear open heels with gold glitter.


Notes:
The soft pink is probably the hardest of the three sets for collectors to find. Featured here are the matching cardigan and shell sweaters in wool. They top a pink flannel skirt. Matching pink open-toe shoes completed the look. Her knitting accessories included a red cover “How To Knit” book by Barbie®, wooden bowl with glued-in “yarn” in pink, yellow, and green, needles, and a pair of functional scissors.


Notes:
The day is brighter when Barbie® doll greets the morning in a sunrise red-orange and white striped sundress! This outfit was identical in style and contents to Suburban Shopper #969 with a change from blue/white to red-orange/white. The accessories included a big straw cartwheel hat with red satin ribbon hatband and inside headband, “pearl” on chain necklace, white telephone, fruit-filled tote, and white open-toe shoes.


Notes:
This was the same outfit as Let’s Dance #978 except the dress was fashioned in the same mini-print with a color change to green! The silk waist inset was also in green. It can be found in two tones of fabric (neither is faded or discolored) as you can see in the photo. The accessories were the same ones found in Let’s Dance #978. They were: a white clutch, a single “pearl” on a chain necklace, and black open-toe pumps.


Notes:
Barbie® doll looked both fashionable and ready to meet the challenge of a hectic day in the business world! This two-piece black and white tweed suit featured a fitted jacket with wide collar and four-button closure, and a slim skirt. Accenting the ensemble was a sleeveless red cotton shell, matching hat with velvet ribbon band and red satin rose accent, long black tricot gloves, and black open-toe pumps.


Notes:
Barbie® doll arrived on the job well prepared for a long evening with black-rimmed reading glasses and a cute coral and white striped babysitter’s apron. Just in case hunger strikes, Barbie® doll had a bottle of soda and a box of Mattel pretzels (empty) on hand! She kept her list of phone numbers near the white plastic telephone. The fully jointed baby wore a white flannel diaper with a safety pin. An extra diaper was included as well as a pink dotted flannel sacque with blue trim. Baby’s bassinet of pale pink woven-look plastic was lined with a removable floral print lace-edged liner and a lace-edged pink pillow. Baby took a bottle (white plastic with amber nipple) and went to dreamland covered with a blue striped, braid-edged flannel blanket. Barbie® doll checked the brass alarm clock and saw she had a couple of hours for reading. Her three books were neatly held with a black plastic strap. Her subjects were: How to Lose Weight, How to Get a Raise, and How to Travel.
