Vintage Barbie 1963-1964

In 1963 Barbie's best friend Midge arrived. The two shared a beautiful wardrobe with seventeen new outfits and twenty carried over from previous years. There were lots of new Fashion Packs as well.

Fashion Queen Barbie, with three interchangeable wigs, was inspired by the popularity of wigs in fashion.

1964 was a great year for Barbie! Her best friend Midge, got a cute boyfriend, Alan. Barbie also got a new little sister, Skipper. 

Miss Barbie was the first Barbie with bendable legs. Her eyes also opened and closed and like Fashion Queen, she had "interchangeable" hair.

Barbie and Midge got many new glamorous outfits in 1964, the most notable were the wonderful Travel and Theatre series of costumes. They were very elaborate and are highly collectible today.   The glamorous Swirl Ponytail Barbie was also introduced in 1964.

Also the 1600 series, representing some of the most elegant, popular and valuable ensembles debuted in 1964.  Many of the ensembles in 1964 were issued for one year only, making them among some of the hardest pieces to find.
