Golden Barbie and Fashion Clothes for Barbie Doll

In Russia, Barbie was an inaccessible dream of many girls, and in America for many it has become an ideal of beauty and a collectible. Adults collect Barbies in a collection, buy new dresses and accessories for her, houses and cars, pets and even jewelry. Barbie and clothes for her is a whole industry, even some couturiers make clothes for Barbies.

Barbie also brought me some money and a lot of interesting experience, good acquaintances, useful knowledge.

Looking through completed auctions (ebay.com) I noticed a lot of expensive items sold clothes for barbie and the dolls themselves, sold for good money. Sometimes hundreds of dollars, sometimes 1000 or more. I quickly figured out that the dolls sold were collectible. Released in small editions and sometimes a long time ago. It means that such dolls cannot be found in Russia. But clothes can be sewn to order, which is what I decided to do.

Sewed dresses, tops and T-shirts for Barbies, wedding dresses, evening dresses, handbags and belts.
Then I met a girl who was more successful in selling clothes for Barbie... The girl sewed fur coats for Barbie. Blue and brown mink coats, sable coats and crocodile leather coats.

She took mink fur from old hats, which she bought on the cheap, and crocodile skin was taken from old products such as bags, wallets, and other things.

The Barbie doll is small, so you can tailor interesting products from pieces without much difficulty. After proper processing, all the products looked very high quality. Embroidered logo on the lining Barbie sometimes all sorts of numbers and letters.

When she was selling things, she wrote about a standard description - a vintage fur coat for Barbie, vintage raincoat for Barbie crocodile skin. At the same time, she took good photos where you could see how the thing looks on the Barbie herself. What is it from the outside and inside. Therefore, although the things were homemade, they brought her good money at that time. Some of the best barbie coats have been priced up to $ 1,000. Many collectors took part in her auctions and everyone was happy. Probably it never occurred to them that the fur coat bought for $ 1000 was sewn from the hat of an old grandmother.

Here she is such a little doll, but dear! I think any seamstress will envy such earnings. I sewed one fur coat and already earned a couple of my monthly salaries in the studio.
