Did Someone Say Peaches And Cream?

 


Did someone say Peaches and Cream? 

My last Barbie-to-Cabbie outfit project led to a fascinating suggestion: recreating the iconic Peaches and Cream Barbie look. I never owned this Barbie as a child, nor do I remember her. Determined to find inspiration for my next Cabbie outfit, I embarked on a quest to find a Peaches and Cream Barbie.

However, it wasn't easy! She is extremely popular, and even rough condition dolls with missing accessories (like the boa and belt) were priced around $50. Mint-in-box versions were a staggering $200+. I set up eBay notifications to alert me to new listings and managed to snag one at a reasonable price. This Barbie has her complete outfit and is in pristine condition – just needed a gentle cleaning.

Now, I’ve drafted a pattern to recreate this stunning outfit. I'm excited to start sewing, but I'm also a bit apprehensive. Chiffon can be notoriously tricky to work with!

Off to sew... Wish me luck! I'll be back with the finished Peaches and Cream Barbie-inspired Cabbie outfit soon (hopefully). Fingers crossed it turns out amazing!
