Vintage Wednesday - Barbie Q Ensemble - #962 from 1959

Barbie had to be fashion no matter what! Barbie fist showed off her culinary skills in the outdoors with her very own barbecue outfit. It was a dusty rose broadcloth with a full skirt and fitted bodice. The details were not more "girly" than button accented shoulder straps and crocheted look edging on the neckline, arm roles and pockets tabs.

The package outfit contained real metal utensils. A spoon, a knife, a spatula with red plastic handle tips, a wooden rolling pin with a red painted handles and a red and white pot holder with a loop for hagging and, to complete the "cooking" look, a white apron.

Cute and material looks durable, according to fashion doll guide does last...proof of it? These pictures found on eBay shows a very good condition of a 1959 item.

Can you imagine Barbie on this outfit?
