Vintage Barbie Fashion Pak Helenca Swimsuit (1962-1963)

Red, Black or Navy Swimsuit
White Sunglasses with Blue Lenses
Metallic Gold Cork Wedge Shoes

In addition to being a fashion pak item, the red helenca swimsuit was the original outfit that came on all vintage Barbie ponytail and bubblecut dolls sold from 1962 to 1966. 

Because of this, the red version is very easy to find.  Although they are prone to runs and snags, there were so very many made for Barbie, they are in plentiful supply.  However Black and Navy are very rare and hard to find. 

The helenca swimsuit was repackaged in the 1964 Fashion Pak In The Swim.
