Most all girls love to play with barbie dolls. I know my 4 year old daughter sure does. She even tries to get dad to play with her at times! I can remember back in 1959 when fashion Barbie came out. It wasn’t until 1967 when my sister got her first fashion Barbie doll. Barbie has certainly played an important role in the lives of millions of girls around the world.

Barbie dolls come in all different styles and manner of dress. That’s the best part of playing with dolls isn’t it? Girls getting to dress Barbies in different types of fashion. To a degree it is even educational, with a way for younger girls to learn about dressing and how fashion clothing works. I wonder if Mattel thought about the far reaching effects the Barbie doll would have back in 1959?

Many times, Barbie has came under criticism over the years for some of the doll clothes that were made for her. Barbie has been around since 1959 and for a long time many mothers would buy them for their little girls strictly because they had them when they were young. I know that this is what my sister did after she had her first one in 1967. Barbie certainly has a massive selection of fashion clothes, so you can always find Barbie dresses you feel are appropriate.

Although Barbie doll clothes can sometimes be pricey, you can find places to buy them at a good discount. You can find Barbie doll clothes on auctions sites such as eBay, where you can find some incredible deals on fashion clothes. Whether it be from 1959, 1967, or any other year, eBay has it all. Just be sure to check the fashions closely to make sure they are not worn out or the wrong type for your child’s doll.

You can also find Barbie dresses and fashion in retail stores. The Internet is also a good place to look. There are a large number of toy sites that have Barbie doll clothes that cost much less than what you could find in a toy store.

While buying Barbie doll clothes is certainly the most common way to get new fashions, you can also make your own clothes. If you happen to enjoy sewing, this is a great way to add to Barbie’s fashions. You can make an unlimited number of outfits for your child’s doll, and it won’t cost you a mint. You can make just about any kind of Barbie fashion at home, and if you enjoy doing this, you might want to consider turning it into a way to make some good extra money.

The Barbie doll, which will be 50 years old in 2009, has what seems to be an infinite number of lines, including American Idol Barbie, Barbie Magic of Pegasus, and Happy Birthday Barbie. It’s incredible to believe that Ruth Handler created the doll in the early 1950s simply to satisfy her daughter’s desire to play with an adult-looking doll as opposed to a baby. Her husband and Mattel, his employer at the time, did not initially like the idea, but after Handler’s redesign of a German doll, introduced it at a New York City toy fair in 1959. Today, Mattel sells 1.5 million Barbie dolls each week. With the remarkable popularity of Barbie, a party themed after her can be a great afternoon shindig for a young girl.

A Barbie theme party is actually very common. If your daughter wants to have a Barbie party with her friends, but wants to do something unique, an afternoon tea party and fashion show is an idea. The tea party doesn’t have to be extravagant. Whether you use real dishes or not is up to you. However, you might not want to use your best china if the girls are very young. There are plenty of inexpensive tea sets on the market. Your daughter could play host and serve her guests or you could do the honors. Instead of cake and cookies, offering the guests scones, which are perfect with tea, or some other light confection is a good plan. Check with parents to see if there are any special diets that you need to take into consideration.

Young girls (and many grown up ones), love to dress up. The Barbie tea party and fashion show invitations should request that each girl dress up and bring their favorite Barbie. The highlight of the party will be the fashion show. There are two ways to do this. Each girl can describe their own wardrobe and accessories along with what their Barbie is wearing, or you could write something up fun and humorous while the girls are drinking tea and eating. Either way, the girls are sure to have a smashing good time!

All little girls love Barbie dolls. Barbies comes in many different types and has different careers, different skin colors and different hobbies. It would be very expensive to have the full collection of Barbie dolls and all the clothes and accessories.
