I've never seen this one before, but downloading it because your skins so far have been awesome!

Oooh so pretty and well done. I'm not much of a Barbie fan, but now I'm a fan of this dress. Thanks for sharing!

That is sooo cute! I'm a big barbie fan (I recommend downloading Stefen's sim version to go with these outifts). Keep up the fantastic job!

I LOVE this series!! I too am an aging baby boomer and love my vintage Barbie's and all the fabulous clothing, accessories and furniture I have. Some from my childhood, some purchased off eBay.

I haven't snagged the others I've seen yet, but off to do that this morning. Thank you VERY much. This was a great idea.

And, are you taking requests???

Edited to remove question that was answered in your overview.

Usually I don't take requests as I can't promise to get them fulfilled in a reasonable amount of time. If you have any suggestions though, I would love to hear them! It doesn't mean I'll make it, but you never know... :D

I love your vintage Barbie stuff. I was wondering, do you think you will make the classic black and white swim suit? I would love to have that in my game!

I won't be, but feel free to use the textures to convert them! :D

I know you like the vintage Barbies best, but by any chance could I convince you to do the Sun Jeweled Barbie bikini from the mid-90s? The one with the huge rhinestone chest thing and the pear-shaped dangle on the bottom. It was always one of my favorite outfits, i used it so much I wore out the straps, they were all stretched out and curled up.

Convert... just copy/paste the texture files onto another mesh basically. I'm sure there are meshes out there already that you can use.

Thank you for the reply!

I have just a few 'suggestions' - take them or leave them:

Apple Print Sheath
Swingin' Easy (also called Lets Dance - came in blue and green)
Dinner at Eight http://z.about.com/d/collectdolls/1...EDITbubble8.jpg

Whatever you decide to do, KEEP 'EM COMING! This is a great trip down memory lane. Makes me want to pull all my dolls out and dress them up!
