So, my fsther's mother bought my sister and me twin Barbies, Skipper, the carrying case, accessories, outfits, etc. We coveted these dolls we would otherwise never have had! Needlesstosay, my parents would not buy clothes for these "kitschy" dolls, so a neighbor in Crownpoint, NM made us wardrobes...bridal gowns, plaid swing coats, crocheted suits, pajamas, sun dresses, etc. etc. I knew Lauren would appreciate the "vintage, pristine" Barbie & Skipper and the love and attention that went into dressing them well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385259655471889809.post-23445683614820701642010-04-22T12:47:16.036-04:002010-04-22T12:47:16.036-04:00My aunt used to make me Barbie clothe for Christma...My aunt used to make me Barbie clothe for Christmas every year.
