Fashion Doll Friday: Pretty in Plaid Redhead Barbie 1998


Pretty in Plaid redhead Barbie in OOAK fashion

Taken at Barbie’s birthday ball today’s Friday Girl is Pretty in Plaid Barbie. This doll came in blonde, brunette and red-head versions. I put her in this dress soon after I bought it and I like it so much on her I’ve never changed her out of it. I am sure that Jan would love to get her hands on this dress.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

    • I love that dress, I bought it from an eBay seller years ago. I don’t think it even cost me that much. Something like that would cost more than a dress for me now.

  5. I like the material the dress is made out of but it’s too naked for my tastes at the top. She needs a wrap or something to finish it off and some gloves or something for finishing touches. I think today’s women wear horrible clothes to the big award nights. Most don’t look glamorous at all. When I look at older Barbie fashions and my vintage paper dolls clothing I always say to myself what has happened to people’s dress sense?

  6. My dolls were a bit put out that none of them were invited to Bab’s birthday bash. I guess the clones were just not good enough.😢

  7. Maybe they were at Sir Elton’s bash and the media lost the footage. If I did my clones they would look like a medical convention! I do have good ol’ Donald in a suit but he’s afraid to come outta the box since the last drama on Dirks blob..lol. Guess the only celeb would be Julia in her nurses outfit. Btw, thanks on the vintage restore tip w/ starch, was able to send my sis a dark haired Midge in a Starched nurses uniform after her surgery.
