The Barbie Inspired Swimsuit is Back!

You're a Barbie girl in a Barbie world .... right?  Well she's back in our shop!  The 50's inspired swimsuit  in all it's glory!  Want the look?  Visit us at Get Go Retro!  And, did you know....  The Vintage Barbie Black and White Swimsuit was the original outfit for the first Barbie dolls. The ponytail Barbie dolls sold in 1959 to 1961 were wearing the famous zebra striped suit. The first Bubblecuts were also wearing this.

In 1962 Barbie's outfit was changed to the Red Helenca Swimsuit.
The outfit always included Black Open Toe Heels and White Sunglasses with Blue Lens.
