Vintage Barbie Silken Flame

Vintage Barbie Silken Flame #977 (1960-1961)

Red Velvet & White Satin Strapless Dress
Gold Dimple Belt
Gold Dimple Purse
Black Open Toe Heels

This is a great vintage ensemble, maybe this was Barbie’s outfit for her Valentines Day Date! This outfit is fairly easy to find, the satin usually holds up well and is quite beautiful. It can be a challenge to find the belt without creases or peeling gold.

This ensemble is often seen with the Red Flare red velvet swing coat and pillbox hat, but it actually wasn’t produced until 1962 (as a tribute to Jackie Kennedy, no doubt). However, the 2 ensembles are beautiful together.
Mattel issued a reproduction of the pair in 1998.

Skipper's coordinating ensemble is Silk 'n Fancy #1902 (1964 - 1965).
