Description

This pattern is inspired by the iconic polka dot dress from the “Barbie Gai Parisienne” style, one of the most elegant and beloved pieces in the Barbie collection.

“Barbie Gai Parisienne” is the name of one of Barbie’s earliest and most iconic doll outfits, released in 1959. This outfit reflected classic Parisian style, featuring an elegant polka dot dress, long white gloves, and a wide-brimmed hat. The term “Gai Parisienne” was used at the time to evoke the joy and glamour of Paris, the fashion capital, known for its chic and sophisticated style. The word “gay” here means “jolly” or “jovial,” a common connotation at the time to describe the vibrant and charming Parisian culture.

This outfit was intended to give Barbie a touch of European glamour, inspired by mid-20th century high fashion. The design remains a popular reference for those looking to recreate an elegant, vintage look for Barbie dolls.

A sophisticated and glamorous design.  This dress captures the essence of the classic Parisian style with princess seams, a circle skirt, and polka dot fabric evoking mid-century fashion. With this pattern, you can recreate vintage charm on your Barbie doll, transporting her to a time of elegance and refinement. Ideal for those who want to add a touch of nostalgia and class to their doll clothing collection, this dress is perfect for beginners and experienced sewers alike.

Givenchy adapted the iconic design for Margo Robbie and the Barbie World Tour, 2023.
