************* WELCOME TO THE FASHIONS BOUTIQUE *************

FEATURED ARTIST: KELLIE NIETLING

Kellie has been sewing doll fashions for many years and is a perfectionist when it comes to fitting clothing accurately to Barbie. Kellie is now designing original fashions for Barbie as well as making some of the vintage Barbie reproductions fashions. Please feel free to make requests on any vintage Barbie fashions not shown, as well as any custom doll clothing you may desire.

The Fashions Boutique is beginning with a limited number of outfits but will include many additions in the future. For those of you that were lucky enough to purchase Kellie's fashions a few years back, you'll be happy to hear she's back in business.

The Fashions Boutique provides a limited number of Barbie vintage reproduction outfits as well as custom designed clothing ensembles for 11 1/2" fashion dolls. These outfits are constructed with great attention given to detail and quality in workmanship. They are near perfection and are difficult to tell from the originals, therefore each ensemble comes with a sewn in tag with the artists own insignia. Fabrics chosen for reproductions closely resemble the original fabrics used. Buttons and snaps are used for closures.

You'll find that reproduction outfits by Kellie, are very reasonably priced compared to the original Mattel vintage fashions. Reproductions are a great way to fill in the voids in your vintage collection.

The custom Barbie fashion designs by Kellie are another way to add a very unique clothing ensemble to your collection. Many of these closely resemble the clothing styles of the 60's and display beautifully with your vintage Mattel Barbie fashions. These will be limited in quantity due to fabric availability.

There is also an opportunity to request CUSTOM FASHIONS DESIGNED BY YOU. Scroll to the end of the page to view some great clothing items made out of fabric of your own choice. This is a wonderful way to make new memories out of old favorite clothing.
