Vintage-Inspired Spring Suits for Barbie

This classic navy silk noil suit ensemble was designed by Charles L. Mo.  I purchased this chic dressed doll from Charles a few years back at a doll show.  He was one of the featured artists in Jim Faraone's first Fashion Doll Makeovers book, and a version of this ensemble was pictured along with some other gorgeous suits.  Charles designed vintage-inspired fashions with the 1959 to mid 1960's Barbie dolls in mind.
