50's Barbie party

Lauren was invited to a 50's Vintage Barbie party for one of her friends on the soccer team. This girl is the nicest and most genuine young lady. Lauren is lucky to know such girls!

The concept of a fifties vintage party to the decorations, the cake, the name cookies, and the actual actress who played barbie was all unbelievable.
Lauren all dressed up even wearing heels!

We bought her outfit at the local antique store. The coat feels like it is pure wool and has the old vintage label from the department store. We put her hair up in a french roll and she did get to wear some makeup ( I thought all the kids would be so I caved)!
Probably unable to tell but the dress has soft layers one on top of the next. It is a grayish blue with a broach. The shoes were worn by the owners great aunt to play the piano as they sailed military men over to Japan to their assignments.
The back of the dress was a bit fancy, apparently Lauren's Nana wore something similar when she was a girl.
Lauren loved the party she said her favorite part was singing karaoke!
