1964 Barbie Cluny Evening Gown!

Here is Miss Barbie in her silk taffeta evening gown made by my little Miss Lily with  some help from me. The fisheye darts and tiny pleats were a challenge for her but a big learning experience ! If you are trying to teach your kids to sew this is a great type of project.

The pattern came from this little nifty book we bought at the flea market. Lily collects vintage toys and especially anything Barbie if she finds a good deal! This little book came inside the box for her Sew Handy 1961 child's sewing machine.

Slow down there Barbie! 
Barbie's not about to let Ken behind the wheel of her treasured Corvette. She may look old-fashioned but she's very modern.
Happy sewing!
