The Vintage Barbie Picnic Set clothing, the jeans and body blouse, are made of sturdy fabric and hold up very well. They are easy to find in good condition.  The tag for this ensemble is found in the blouse.

The accessories are all unique to this ensemble and are all very hard to find. The hat and fishing pole are an especially rare find with all of the original pieces intact.

The same clam digger length jeans were seen in 1963 and 1964 Fashion Paks.

Vintage Skipper Country Picnic.
In 1966, Skipper got a picnic set of her own.  Vintage Skipper Country Picnic had Skipper all dressed up and ready to chase butterflies.  Influenced by the butterfly theme, this tri-color dress had butterfly cutout accents and a butterfly net was included as well.  While Barbie went fishing, Skipper was content to chase butterflies.

Barbie Picnic Set.
In later years, it became apparent that Barbie needed picnic furniture.  It quickly became a craze embraced by girls in their role playing and by Collectors showing off their treasures.  There were several picnic sets issued and I found a good selection on eBay.
