Thanks so much for Barbie. Please – make more? I’m in my Fifties and still have old and new Barbie dolls Collections. What about the styles from the “baby-boomers” where it was high heels and tight fit skirts? Someone did made her 1st t Swim costume.

I have both Kisuragi Honey (a Manga character) and Jessica Rabbit among my sims. Boyoboy are they ever going to be happy with your "Barbie" dresses!

I totally love Barbies! I have a collection of them and even have magazines full of vintage barbies. This is a really great outfit and I must say it's great to have some Barbie clothes in my download folder.

A most excellent translation of the elegance of Barbie.

If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?

OMG..the most famous Barbie look ever! You have done it wonderfully. I have put forth more than once that Sims are my grown up version of Barbies, and you are fulfilling that fantasy! Keep em coming!

YES! I was hoping you'd do this one! If you can find the appropriate mesh, will you do "Enchanted Evening?" I love that outfit too!

I really, really want to make that dress but I haven't found a mesh for it just yet! I could make one with one of the fuller dress meshes I've found, though it wouldn't be completely accurate. I'd also need to find a fur stole mesh, but I don't know if one exists yet.

If anyone would be up for meshing or knows where I could find a good one feel free to contact me!

OMG! HUGE Barbie Collector! I LOVE THIS! You did AWESOME! I love that you even got the little rose on there too! You have to do the black and white swim suit. Others have done it, but they're only ok, you could do GREAT! I will make sure my vintage Barbie in my game gets this dress!

:love: I grew out of Barbies years ago, but these vintage fashions is beyond enough to make me happy.

(my ideal fashion world would be a blend of 60s, 80s, and Victorian England!)

Requests? Yes! See my journal entry for palette options! Shameless plugging of my Sim sites: (TS2) · TS4

Love it! You should do the 1959 bathing suit, but with the black mule open toe heels! Or her adorable garden party dress. Again fabulous job!

Great, I love it. I hope you continue a 1960/50's set.

This is a great look. I think that rose detail would look great with the short cut with the rose that comes with Open for Business.

The hair came with Apartment Life.
