Wonderful Sue and you look lovely today! A treasure trove of information for newbies and collectors alike. Years ago when I was in university I bought my #1 complete in the box. I had to eat ramen noodles and Kraft dinner for 2 months after on my part time salary 😀 friends and family thought I had lost my mind LOL. My 1959 collection is safely packed away but a joy to see here. Chatty Cathy originally used the same material that fades out so pale too. Last couple off years I have been concentrated on completing my mod collection however as much as I love mod, these early fashions are so chic and glamorous and really represent the fashions of the time. Your Poodle Parade repo is a steal! I have seen them go for over $100😀 Thankyou my dear have a wonderful day.💖💖💖
I would live on ramen noodles for a #1. LOL How I wish I could see your collection. I would be in awe. 😍 I have one of those faded Chatty dolls. I work on all eras at the same time. Hope to complete one. Maybe one day. Thanks so much for watching.
Another terrific and informative video. This is a GREAT complete look at the # 1 barbie and the outfits. I hope to have half of what you have one day....and thanks to you I'll continue to grow my knowledge and maybe achieve that one day; hopefully sooner than later. With every video that you do it gives me more incentive to hunt for more. Thanks!
As kids with the original of Barbies ‘50 and ‘60, we hated the hats. They’d never stay on, so we used to stick straight pins into their heads to hold the hats in place. We had all these outfits you listed - my all-time favorite ever was the blue striped outfit with the picture hat. Our first Barbies were $1.80, which my parents thought was a travesty: but we played with Barbies and the outfits for a long, long time.
Awesome! I've been looking for such compilations. I barely have a way to put my hands on them due to where I live, but I can try sewing look-a-likes of my favourites.
Hi Pandora, the first 3 are the hardest to get, but completing them all it not easy. There is so many ways to go on collecting, hard to decide sometime. (for us doll lovers) LOL. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching😍
I was born in 1959. Grandma gave me an early Barbie.Looked something like this, no rods on the feet. She was a redhead with the ponytail. And the black and white striped swimsuit. Wish I had kept the little Barbie clothes catalog I had from the early 60s .
Probably a #5 ponytail. That was the first to have the red hair and striped swimsuit. I share a lot of the clothing and such on my channel. Hope to see you around on more videos.
Nightie Negligee is beautiful with the ribbing on the robe and the dog has it so distinctive. For a total look BarbieQue is completely underrated. Fashion Queen models it well! Even if the jacket is soft the great Winter Holiday does not fit and just too hard to force on. The Poodle Parade repro, doll maybe not great but the fashion seems exact. How do they ever reproduce these fabrics to an identical color and fabric?
Hi Sue, great video! I have dribs and drabs of some of these outfits, like the Peachy Fleecy coat by itself. I do have the complete Bar-B-Que outfit with all the utensils, never understood what the rolling pin was doing in there either (would have fit better with the Barbie Learns to Cook outfit!). The "fancy" outfits you showed I don't have at all, but they are lovely and maybe someday...! Some like Winter Holiday I do have complete but in reproduction form only (was one of the outfits with the "Let's Play Barbies" doll). That plaid zipper bag I use to keep Barbie's bowling ball in since the original bag fell apart.
I don't have everything complete either BJ it is quite a chore completing sets. I have some of this and some of that. I think I would like the Winter Holiday in repro. also, Especially the coat, I think I have the rest of the item. Love that little bag, it looks like a bowling ball bag to me too.
Thank you Sue!!! I love a Barbie 101 Class. Just when you think you know early Barbie, someone teaches you something new!! I have never seen that Peachy-Fleecy hat before. That is so cute! Also, I wonder about that orange Sweater Girl and what it is made of...cuz I have one of those Ken, red, grey and white letter-man sweaters with tiny moth holes. I try to find a good one and every time I see one, it will have the same kind of moth holes unless its mint.haha I just wonder if Mattel made the sweaters back then with mostly wool. They feel like wool...I guess using moth balls might be good for old Barbie sweaters. haha. but..they just smell so strong!! haha Buzz-Buzz. Doll show was mind blowing, especially in the Fashion Doll way!! God Speed Naomi Judd...what a Barbie Doll she was. Great video Sue!!! Mod Girl
Naomi Judd was a beauty, Loved their music. I bet you do a good Judd's Tune. Those sweaters are terribly hard to find without holes. Moth balls, I must be a moth cause I hate that smell!! haha. Glad your show was FAB!! I will look for pics.
Hi Sue! I read that the #3 dolls with blue eyeliner always had scarlet lips. And fun fact: some of the earliest #1s were handpainted before the stencil was created. I saw one where you could still see the brush marks in the brows. I love this video! Maybe I can make it through before commenting again 😅
Hey sue thanks for the vid I have all these outfits except for plantation belle and I’m working on that hope to have it soon happy Barbie hunting I like that can you do a vid on the outfits for the other years please
Does anyone remember the blue ponytail Barbie, which came in a sliver and purple rectangle carb board box?She was in the center of the box on her black metal stand, zebra swim suit, white Pearl push pin earrings, lack slides, white sunglasses, red lips, and had 5 outfits to the left and right. The year was August, 1961. Outfits: stewardess out, picnic set w/fishing pole, black long sequined long dress w/mic stand, resort set, blue chiffon party dress, orange sweater girl, nurses outfit, winter holiday w/red plaid bag, red/white cruise outfit, gold brocade 2 piece outfit w/fur trim. Anyone remember this box set?
I lucked out on a number one Barbie that was 12 dollars. Never knew she was a first edition. Always been kinda curious about those white eyes. Did mattel ever explain why she had white eyes?
@@BarbieLove almost. It was an eBay offer after I glanced at it. But I declined out of favor for another doll. But now , I wish I didn't, now that I learned she was a first edition lol.
My mother has a 1958 doll from mattel that i would say it's a barbie doll but it doesn't have the "Barbie" stamp on the butt, but it does have the "mattel inc." And "U.S. PATENTED U.S. PAT. PEND. and a "made in Japan" stamp but both stamps are opposing in how they where put on the doll the top "Mattel" stamp is pressed into the doll and the "Made in Japan "stamp is out pressed. I can't find any info on this doll it does have holes in the feet but not in the same spot as the number 1 barbie. This barbie has the holes in her arches and a "JAPAN" Stamp on the left foot. I'd love to hear more information on this doll of anyone might know what I have hereit would be much appreciated 🙏
I’m curious about these reproduction outfits. Are they worth the money? Do they have a good resale value. I’ve completely stayed away from them because I’m just unsure. Any thoughts would be very appreciated 😊
They are by Mattel and are really good quality, at least the ones that I have seen. Some are even difficult to tell from the originals! It's good to get one or two when the original is hard to find, very expensive and sometimes a fragile outfit that didn't hold up good over the years. Yes they are growing in value.
I have # 1,2,3,6,(love the yellow shoes with it),7,8,9,10 without the hat,12,13,14,16,didnt want 17.LOL......18 minus the apple, 19,20,21impossible to put the jacket on over the hoodie),22 minus the scissors, 23. Poodle parade reproduction was so disliked...........hundreds were returned. Collectors didn't like the choppy hair. I kept mine!!!!
I had the apple, but it got lost. I kept my American girl in Poodle Parade. She is cuter in a different outfit. WoW you have a lot!! Thanks for watching
Thank you so much 😁 I Hope you can watch more. I try to make one every week but sometime I do miss. Love sharing dolls with people that enjoy them like I do.💕
Sue you always provide so much information with incredible fashions and dolls! 🥰💖😍
Thank you so much!😊
I love the #1 Barbie dolls. Don't have one yet !! Maybe someday.
I don't have one either, I did see one for sale a few years ago, but the lady wanted $5,000. It was out of my price 😬range

Love your vintage Barbies Dolls videos!❤
Yay! Thank you!
Every time I watch your videos. I go buy more Barbies. There is lots of good finds out there at great prices. I learn a lot from you. thanks
That is awesome! There are good buys to be had right now. Glad you are getting some of those!!😍🤑
@@BarbieLove yes because ebay was killing me with high prices , lol. Its a fun hobby.

I can see how the hats would have been a bother as a kid. I love them now, but keeping them on is still a problem. I Thanks for sharing. 💕
What a great video. Wonderful to see the little extra things that go with the outfits. I want a Poodle Parade too. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed the video. Poodle Parade is classic.🥰
Thank you for this wonderful video I am learning so much about Barbie so very interesting and helpful.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you enjoy more of my videos also.😍
Great guide sue!! Very useful - love the doll you bought too - nice find 🥰
Thanks so much Jay😊😊😍
Awesome! I've been looking for such compilations. I barely have a way to put my hands on them due to where I live, but I can try sewing look-a-likes of my favourites.
That’s great if you can sew. I can’t😒
Hi Sue,
I love this Video I have 1 out of all these #18, I guess its a common one. I love seeing all these fashion. your such an inspiration oxoxo

Hi Sue 🤗 I really enjoy your video and I like how you give information about the barbie dolls ❤
Thanks so much Stacz. 🥰
loved the video. Very informative. I always learn something watching your vids. I don't have but one or two of those outfits, but some day...😅🤔💕
Awesome! Thank you! Someday I hope to have them all too.😍

I totally agree Gary. The repo Poodle Parade looks remarkably like the original. I have compared them side by side. Love that little dog. So cute.

That’s some interesting facts. Thanks. I have one ponytail that has painted legs, but I am not sure which one she is. lol
@@BarbieLove I spent two hours today trying to figure out if my doll has titian hair or brownette, but I don't think they made the brownette in 1963.
Hey sue thanks for the vid I have all these outfits except for plantation belle and I’m working on that hope to have it soon happy Barbie hunting I like that can you do a vid on the outfits for the other years please
I got it on my to do list.
Awesomeness I look forward to that I just love all the clothes for the Barbie family
I had all of those except Gay Parisian. My mother thought it was to expensive.
LOL, if she could see what it costs now, she would have loaded up the cart!!😊

Wow I never heard of a blue Ponytail Barbie! All of that came in a box set? Amazing, I will google it to see if I can find any info on it. Thanks!!

You got a number 1 for $12? OH MY She is easily worth $6000. I don't know why they made the iris's white. But it is kinda neat I think.
