DISCO DATER
Even though our tastes may change and evolve as we collect, there are some things that are ALWAYS on our wish list ... This outfit was definitely one of those things for me. 'Disco Dater' from 1967/1968 was an outfit I have wanted ever since I saw that Hair Fair Barbie TV ad I posted here recently, and that I first saw decades ago. FINALLY got one after all these years, and always wanted to put it on my favourite brunette Marlo. The photos don't do its colour justice, which is like this bright, almost fluorescent orange/pink... the same fabric used for Francie's silky romper from her 'Wild 'N Wooly'! (The lace overblouse is PERFECT with no snags or tears in it whatsoever, so was worth the wait. The dress has a thin inset band at the hip where the bodice meets the skirt in hot fuschia pink that is hidden by the lace overblouse. It also has that mesh tulle inside that most of the vintage era dresses were faced with! So much detail!) Here she is dancing the night away with my Hawaiian Ken, whom I've had in this natty 'The V.I.P. SCENE' outfit from 1971 forever, but somehow never photographed him in till now! (It has the rarer white tie with black polka dots.) What 60's dances will they do?
