Help with the official name of this Doll

by Cindy
(Upstate New York)

1963 Mattel Inc on right butt cheak, Number 1 on the Left butt cheak. She has straight Legs and straight arms, Flat Chested, Flat Feet. Her eyes are blue. Closed mouth grin. Molded reddish hair...originally I think I remember her coming with wig but that was to many years ago for me to be sure.

Hi Cindy -
It looks like you have a Wig Wardrobe Midge (1964) on a Straight Leg Skipper Body. Midge should be on a Barbie body. If you can find the correct body, it should be fairly valuable as this Midge can be very hard to find. Suzanne

Wig Wardrobe Midge
by: Martha

Hi, I have to say that this Midge - Wig Wardrobe Midge - was sold only as a head with 3 wigs on a wig stand. She was supposed to be used to change heads on any straight leg Barbie doll the little girl already had. That's why I suppose every now and then you see Skipper bodies with this head on ebay. Also one of the 2 versions of Fashion Queen Barbie was sold as head alone and with 3 wigs on a wig stand but I have never seen one of them on a Skipper body up for sale. I think it's because of Midge's more childish looking face :)
Thank you

Thank you. I was guessing that was going to be the outcome. I think someone must have done that before they gave her to me as a child. After posting the question, I realized my description of her happend to be mine as well in the late 70's when I played with barbies. :) My daughter who has long grown out of Barbies, says this one was always her favorite because she is so unique.
Thank you again!
