See http://www.dollclothessuperstore.com for tips on selecting barbie doll clothes for both the larger and thinner barbie dolls

1. To Answer the Question:
Do Barbie Clothes fit all size
Barbies?

2. Barbie doll clothes are generally labeled as:
“Barbie Doll Clothes”
or
“Clothes to fit Barbie and 11 ½” fashion dolls
However, that does not answer the question
will the clothes you are considering
purchasing fit the doll you are about to
outfit.

3. • If all Barbie dolls were uniform in body size,
any of the clothes labeled “For Barbie” would
fit.
• However the body of Barbie has changed
over the years.

4. Vintage Barbie
The original or vintage Barbie’s measurements
were:
Bust: 5 ½”
Waist: 3 ½”
Hips: 5”

5. Silkstone Barbie
Silkstone Barbie’s measurements are:
Bust: 5”
Waist: 3 ¼”
Hips: 4 ¾”

6. 1999 Barbie Dolls
Measurements of the dolls produced with the
1999 stamp on the body are:
Bust: 4.8”
Waist: 3”
Hips: 5”

7. Modern Barbie
Measurements for modern Barbies are:
Bust: 5”
Waist: 3 ½”
Hips: 5 ¼”

8. • Looking at the body measurements for
Barbie shows:
• There can be up to .7” in the bust
measurement
• A .5” difference in the waist measurement
• A .1” difference in the hips measurement

9. • The difference in hip measurements is
insignificant.
• The difference of ½” in the waist will have an
impact on some of the clothes. It will not
impact non fitted clothes or clothes with
elastic waist. It will have a definite impact on
jeans and fitted clothes.

10. • The critical measurement that effects
whether the clothes you are considering
purchasing, is the bust measurement.
• A difference of up to .7” in the bust is major,
especially when you consider the fact that
most of Barbie’s clothes are fitted.

11. • One tip to help decide if the clothes will fit a
particular Barbie is to look on the package or
ask the merchant if the clothes are for the
“slimmer” Barbie.
• Those clothes which are described as “fitting
slimmer Barbies” will not fit the Vintage
Barbies, the Silkstone Barbies or other bodies
with a 5” bust.
• Generally they will fit the bodies stamped
1999 which have a smaller bust.
