Fashion Queen Barbie in a handmade outfit

Fashion Queen Barbie in a suit I made for her. The dress underneath the jacket features a bias-cut placket at the neckline and two functional pockets at the hips, trimmed with black buttons.

 

A lot of the clothes then were designed so stark and simple, in lieu of fancier embellishment and with a nod to the Space Age, that they used to rely on "hidden geometry" as decoration. The three buttons here are supposed to create a "triangle" shape in the mind's eye, and add to the allure of the garment. Did it work, here? Debatable. : )
