The Barbie Doll was first released by Mattel March 9, 1959 and production continues through this day. Due to Barbie's outrageous popularity, many companies made doll clothing patterns to fit her, her friends or competing Teen Age Fashion Model style dolls. That way mothers and their daughters could make additional outfits for their Barbie dolls. I know many grown women who have precious memories of making clothes for their Barbies with their mothers when they were little girls. I have a large assortment of patterns available, all of original fashions dating to the 1960s.

Barbie, she had many friends over the years such as Midge, Stacy, PJ and Christie. Many other Teen Age Fashion dolls have been made by other companies to compete with Barbie. The most notable was Tammy who was released in 1962 by the Ideal Toy Company. Barbie stands 11.5" tall, while Tammy is 12" tall, plus Barbie has a narrower waist and hips than Tammy. The size difference doesn't affect patterns much and they will all work for either Barbie, Tammy or any of their "friends", sometimes with a little bit of tweaking.
