The older Barbies have quite different bodies, so finding suitable clothes is a challenge. I keep searching for outfits at flea markets and in the Internet. But they have such sweet faces that I still fall in love with one older doll or the other now and then, although they have so little articulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3_Barbie_Vintage.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84\" width=\"500\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3_Barbie_Vintage.jpg 652w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3_Barbie_Vintage-245x300.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First birthday doll from my husband in 2014.

The posing posibilities were wonderful -they could play instruments. I still buy the Barbies with the old fashionista body if I find them at flea markets. The two girls at the back are flea market finds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2_Barbies_Fashionista.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83\" width=\"507\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2_Barbies_Fashionista.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2_Barbies_Fashionista-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lilly didn&#8217;t stay alone for long.
