If You Were Barbie (commercial, 1959)

If you were Barbie, the glamorous teenage fashion model doll by Mattel, you would have a fabulous wardrobe created for you by Mattel's famous designers. Like this spectacular form-finity-evening gown, handcrafted with exquisite detailing, zippers that really work, rich satin-liny, matched accessories in my nudist detail, perfect workmanship in every beautiful costume.

Always the newest, most elegant style. Only Barbie has such a magnificent wardrobe, such a variety of hairstyles and colors. And only the genuine Barbie has this very special tag to tell you that she's the one and only Barbie.

If you were Barbie, you'd insist on the best. And Barbie is the best made only by Mattel. Just $3 wherever dolls are sold. You can tell it's Mattel. It's swell.
