The Elegant #1 Barbie-ish Clone Redressed

She has the 1959 #1 Barbie look and style.

As I prepared to find a display spot for my #1 Barbie lookalike and stood from my chair, I glanced to my left and saw another Barbie clone that I dressed in Silkstone 45th Anniversary Barbie's fashion four years ago. I'll place her there, I thought, and redress her! 

The ladies had a brief discussion.

#1 Barbie Clone to Lara Clone: I love your dress. Wanna swap?

Lara clone to Barbie Clone: Thank you! Why, sure! A swap sounds fun. Let's do it!

So they did.

Barbie Clone eased the dress on. It fits well, except the bust area is slightly loose. (I taped it taut in the back.) The black slingbacks fit her feet.

The gloves were added.

The fur stole completes the look.

The completed swap illustrates that both dolls look equally stunning.

The stunning ladies are shown close-up.

  1. They look good. In both dresses! Is the bubble Barbie clone on her original body? I had not seen clones with the nice joints

  2. Yes, the clones are on the original articulated body.

  3. I like her better in the thin dress, I think it suits her. And the red dress suits the doll with the afro nicely. The shorter hair seems to look well with the more figure hugging look.

    1. Thank you! Both dresses work well for her, but I want these dolls to wear authentic Barbie fashions. As lovely as it is, the red dress is not an authentic Barbie fashion.
