The California line--The clothes

Back of the clothing box

From the 1988 poster

Barbie Journal, fall 1988

Barbie clothing

All came with shoes and accessories.  The woven cotton outfits came with yellow visors and yellow 1980s Hong Kong heels.  (How did she walk in the sand in those shoes?)  Felt belts and flying discs were dark pink or yellow, although there was no set color for any outfit.   The shoes varied for the knit ensembles.  The names come from the decals on the shirts.  You can find the outfits on ebay with both the California and California Dream logos.
