 Vintage Barbie Busy Morning #956 (1963)
Orange Sun
Dress
Straw Hat with Orange Ribbon
Straw Purse with Fruit
White Open Toe Heels
White Telephone This was a new variation of one of Barbie's first
ensembles,
Suburban Shopper #969 (1959-1964). The two are essentially the
same, except the Busy Morning sundress is orange instead of blue and the necklace was not
included in this later version. The orange version is much
rarer,
because it was only made for one year. The hat is especially hard to
find and when found the edges are usually frayed. The hat should also
have an attached headband inside to keep it in place. The back has a
metal zipper. |
