A classic

Amanda said she thought all of my old Barbie clothes were sorta ugly until saw this old thang, circa early 1960-something. Passed down from Deni to Darin to Dione, possibly played with by Karyn, Kelsea, Courtney and Katie. Now it belongs to my girls.

Missing most of its sparkles and also a little red rose at the bottom if I'm remembering right. Modern Barbie's boobs are smaller so some scotch tape is needed to hold it on, but Amanda thinks this dress totally rocks!

    This Barbie dress was The Bomb. It was originally Deni's but Marianne and I wore it down to a frazzle dressing up our Barbies like they were going to the Children's Home Society Baby Bear Ball, immitating our parents' social life, probabably thinking someday we'd have a similar social life, where we'd have killer dressers and go to fabulous ballroom dances with our husbands...still waiting. So, Amanda, unlike your Mom, who broke my Francie's leg, I have to take credit for wearing this dress out. (Marianne and I would have stuffed the top to make it fit, but that wouldn't be respect the new Real Life Barbie) (real life Barbie compared to what?)
