The dress in the top picture is modeled by my Revlon-lookalike and went to a lady out of state. It is a lovely yellow plaid cotton and she carries a tote to put her purchases in after a day of shopping.
The wedding dress in the second picture was made from a vintage Advance pattern. My vintage bubblecut Barbie is wearing the dress waiting to walk down the aisle to marry Ken at long last. Made from a white satin, it features a fitted bodice, puffed sleeves and a very full skirt.
The last picture is the same doll wearing a spring dress of yellow floral cotton. Tiny seed beads are used for "buttons" on the dress front. The style is the same as the famous "Pak dresses" from the sixties.
Making vintage recreations is something that I enjoy. Maybe it's because it takes me back to my long ago childhood and the wishes for the wonderful fashions that Barbie and other dolls of the era had then.
