Vintage Barbie Masquerade #944
(1963-1964)
Costume
Hat
Black pantyhose
Black mask
Party Invitation
Black Open Toe Heels with Yellow PomponsThis is Barbie's sassy Halloween
outfit! Ken and Skipper also had matching ensembles - Skipper's is
Masquerade #1903 (1964 - 1965) . The costume
itself is the easiest piece to find, but it frequently has issues with the
ribbons that tie behind the neck. The hat and mask are hard to find,
especially with good, intact elastic. The pantyhose are prone to runs
and snags and are hard to find in great condition. The shoes are very
hard to find with the yellow pompons intact, but they are easy to replace -
replacement pompons are easily found at craft stores. The hardest
piece of all to find is the tiny party invitation. The tulle on the tutu
will often be flat, but it is easy to fluff up by separating the layers with
your fingers. |
