The Barbie Challenge

I grew up playing with my mom's Barbie dolls from 1959. The hours spent on the floor with 'Nana' playing Barbies are among my fondest memories and I partially attribute my love of clothing + perfect accessories to it.
As a tribute to this unwitting inspiration in my young life, I have created The Barbie Challenge. I want to create each of the outfits from the 1959-1962 collection shown below for myself! I've always wanted to make a Barbie collection so why not do it?


Silken Flame


Cruise Stripes

Evening Gala (sans pants...?)

Suburban Shopper
Easter Parade

Theater Date - A favorite

This post wasn't supposed to be on here for another month so....the Barbie Challenge is postponed until after the FW arrives.
