BARBIE & SKIPPER. These matching outfit sets were popular in the middle of the 20th century. Usually mother & daughter or big sister & little sister and sometimes even the same girl at different ages was the theme. Skipper came out in the early 1960's as the younger sister for Barbie and here they are given almost identical things to wear or a little girl version of some of Barbie's iconic fashions.
[Barbie wasn't available to everyone. It seems unbelievable now that a plastic doll costing less than two dollars would be unaffordable back in those days but that was the case for many families in the lower middle class as mine was. Paper doll versions cost just a few cents and were readily available at 5&10 cent stores in most neighborhoods.]
