Barbie Collection Catalog - Vintage Clothing Continues

 Sometimes when I am putting these outfits on the dolls I forget that they are well over 50yrs old.  Most have held up very well, even having been played with, but you really need to be careful with items like tights, socks and gloves.  I poked a tiny finger through one of the beautiful long black gloves, it doesn't show BUT I know it's there!

I think the Barbie paks were the greatest thing since sliced bread.  I wish I had more of them, the mixing and matching would be such fun!  The Knit paks consisted of 6 different clothing types: top, long full skirt, pants, dress, top and short set and a slim skirt.  Colors offered were gold, royal blue and multi striped.  There was also an accessory pak with a straw hat, purse and shoes.  These are the only items I have from these paks.

What a beautiful suit!  I am surprised the jacket was not lined though.

Since I lived in a northern climate growing up and ice skated from the time I could walk, this was one of my favorite Skipper outfits.  I need to find her new skates.

As always I appreciate you stopping by and welcome your comments.  I will be taking a break from cataloging the clothes until the new year.  But I may be doing a little holiday sewing for the ladies so feel free to stop in!
