Description

This is a PHOTOCOPY of a Vintage 1960s pattern to make doll clothes for your 11-1/2" tall Barbie Doll, plus Babette, Tina, Tina Marie, Liza and Polly. This particular pattern dates to 1961 and is the very first one that was manfactured for making Barbie Doll clothes. In addition to Barbie, this pattern also fits a large variety of other Teen Age Fashion Model dolls some of which include: Midge, Stacy, PJ, Christie, Barbara Joe, Babs, Gina and Annette. Barbie's measurements are 5-1/4" bust, 3-1/8" waist and 4-3/4" hips. This pattern should also fit the 12" tall Tammy dolls (5-1/4" bust, 4" waist, 5-1/2" hips) with minor adjustments.
This pattern makes Sleeveless Sheath dress with attached eyelet overskirt and matching panties. A Slim Strapless Ball Gown & Stole with contrasting ribbon midriff and stole facings. A flared Great Coat with unmounted sleeves and oversized patch pockets, plus a one piece mink hat. Japanese style Kimono with contrast binding and belt, large pockets. Fashionable jersey stretch Pants and frog trimmed Jacket. A polka dot Bikini. I include a color printout of the front cover, a black and white copy of the instructions, back cover and the complete pattern. Please email me with any questions that you have.

The Barbie Doll was first released by Mattel March 9, 1959 and production continues through this day. Due to Barbie's outrageous popularity, many companies made doll clothing patterns to fit her, her friends or competing Teen Age Fashion Model style dolls. That way mothers and their daughters could make additional outfits for their Barbie dolls. I know many grown women who have precious memories of making clothes for their Barbies with their mothers when they were little girls. I have a large assortment of patterns available, all of original fashions dating to the 1960s.
Barbie, she had many friends over the years such as Midge, Stacy, PJ and Christie. Many other Teen Age Fashion dolls have been made by other companies to compete with Barbie. The most notable was Tammy who was released in 1962 by the Ideal Toy Company. Barbie stands 11.5" tall, while Tammy is 12" tall. The size difference doesn't affect patterns and they will all work for either Barbie, Tammy or any of their "friends". I have a large assortment of patterns available, all of original fashions dating to the 1960s.
This pattern was originally created April 10, 1961. The copyright for this pattern has expired and it entered the public domain Jan 1, 1990.
