Barbie Collector Barbie & Midge 50th Anniversary Doll Giftset 2012 Mattel X8261

Barbie and Midge 50th Anniversary Giftset is from the Gold Label Collection of Barbie Collector and commemorates Midge Hadley's 1963 debut.

Every girl needs a best friend, and Midge Hadley was always Barbara Millicent Roberts's. For 50 years, Midge has been the perfect companion. Whether attending a tea party, a luncheon, or simply playing dress up with each other's clothes, she made everything in Willows, Wisconsin, so much fun.

Midge doll made her debut in 1963 and remained a true-blue friend. She originally came with bright blue eyes, freckles, and a stylish flip hairdo available in blonde, brunette, or titian red. In 1965, she changed to the cute pageboy re-created in this giftset.

Barbie and Midge 50th Anniversary Giftset brings two great friend together again, dressed in re-creations of favorite vintage fashions from the 1600 Series. Invitation To Tea #1632 was introduced in 1965. Barbie doll wears the pink hostess jumpsuit with a pink and silvery metallic vest and silvery belt. Midge doll favors 1966s Lunch On The Terrace. The summery, empire-waist dress features lime green and white checks that play against the whimsical, polka dot bodice. A matching picture hat frames that adorable, freckled Midge face we've missed so much.
