How We Choose the Best Barbie Accessories and Apparel for you!

At Fav Reviews we stay on top of trending products for families who love the outdoors. We would be remiss if we didn't research the 2023 Barbie resurgence phenomenon. With the 2023 release of the Barbie Movie, we have been invited to relive many of our childhood memories, whether you had a Barbie or not you will have been touched in some way with the Barbie culture ... she is a pop culture icon that has stood the test of time.

Let's face it, like your family, Barbie has been around our family for generations. Yup, Grandma played with them, Mom played with them and now the kids are playing with them and all ages are having fun dressing up to go to the new Barbie movie. Who knew it would become such a craze? Barbie has certainly stood the test of time.

Barbie has invented and reinvented herself throughout the Baby Boom Generation (1946-1964); Generation X (born 1965-1980); Millennials (born 1981-1996); Generation Z (born 1996-2012) and the current Gen Alpha (born 2013 – 2025). For five generations (60+ Years), Barbie has been setting a standard for women in careers, sports, families and each of our roles (men and women) in a diverse society.

Not only do we have people writing and researching for us from 3 of these generations, we have children and grandchildren who have been impacted by the roles Barbie has played in our lives and society in general.

For this particular article, we focus on the Barbie wearables and accessories available on Amazon, through the Licensed Barbie Store on Amazon (Beyond the Doll) and other licensed or similar non-licensed products available on Amazon.

We trust that you'll find your next favorite Barbie inspired item from the list we've researched for you below. All of these products have been hand-picked by our editors and we won't recommend something we wouldn't use in our own family. Some may even be items that we already use! We may receive a small compensation if you decide to buy something (that's how we keep the lights on). Some reviews have been edited for length and clarity. Have fun searching for your next fav product!

One of the reasons we love Barbie, is she loves the outdoors ... and so do we! Have fun ... we have found some 'hard to find' direct links to help you in your research to find the perfect products for you (or a loved one).

We aren't reviewing doll accessories. We're reviewing apparel and accessories life size, just for you!

Barbie Sister Dolls

Editor Note: I would be remiss to write an article about the iconic Barbie and her accessories without talking about my own personal experience with Barbie. She was born in 1959, the same year as me. Of course my parents had to adorn their first daughter with the new fashion icon Barbie, however, when my sister came along three years later and was old enough to have a Barbie of her own (mid-sixties) mom and dad opted to buy her a Barbie 'sister doll', that doll was Tammy at the time.

Tammy was a bit bigger and most of the Barbie clothes wouldn't fit her. It's something fifty-plus years later we still talk about in our family. How slighted my sister still feels that she got 'Tammy' instead of what has become the iconic Barbie. Turns out Tammy Doll has become an icon in her own right ... I wonder where Tammy is now?

So to honour my own sister, I thought it would be fun to add a list of the early Barbie (and not so Barbie) Sister Dolls as we remember them.

  1. Tammy Doll - The Tammy doll was a 12" fashion doll created by the Ideal Toy Company that debuted at the 1962 International Toy Fair. In fairness to my parents who bought her for my sister, she was brand new the year my sister was born and she was promoted as "The Doll You Love to Dress". She was a bit taller than her (let's say) cousin Barbie, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Her wardrobe included stylish dresses and skirts, as well as accessories like purses and hats. But even with all that fuss, my sister never got over the fact Tammy was not a Barbie doll.
  2. Francie Doll - Francie was introduced in 1966, and she quickly became a favorite among Barbie fans. She had strawberry-blonde hair and bright blue eyes, and her wardrobe included everything from mod minidresses to groovy bell bottoms.
  3. Skipper Doll - Skipper was the littlest of the three 'sister' dolls, debuting in 1964. Her signature outfit included a mini skirt and t-shirt combo, as well as a variety of cool accessories like sunglasses and purses.
  4. Stacey Doll - Stacey was the oldest of the 'sister' dolls, debuting in 1967. She had brunette hair with an iconic French twist hairstyle, along with her own unique wardrobe that included stylish dresses and skirts.
  5. Christie Doll - Christie was the first Black 'sister' doll, debuting in 1968. Her wardrobe featured both modern and traditional pieces, such as floral-patterned dresses and sleek leggings.
  6. Julie Doll - Julie was introduced in 1975, and she was the first Barbie to have an entirely new body shape. She had long, lush brown hair and big brown eyes, along with her own selection of stylish outfits.
  7. Kira Doll - Last but not least, Kira was introduced in 1988 and she featured an updated version of Barbie's classic body shape. She had gorgeous dark-brown hair and green eyes, and her wardrobe was filled with daring designs like jumpsuits and mini-dresses.

These early Barbie 'sister' dolls are a great reminder of the iconic figure that has become an integral part of many childhoods!
