Welcome to Barbee and Friends!
Summertime and the living is easy! Yes, I am a hot weather fan, it's what
summer is all about. This time of year is not normally as constantly
busy but I do get bombarded from time to time so patience is still a virtue
when it comes to handmade Barbie and Ken clothes.
PLEASE NOTE: Sometimes, orders could take
as much as 4 weeks to complete and get to you. I don't anticipate that much
but want you to be alerted to the fact that it could happen from time to
time especially before Christmas.
NEW! If you're not ready to place an order today, why not
sign up for the
email newsletter? This is brand new and I honestly don't know what will
always be
in it but I do know it will be an excellent way to communicate my deadlines
and other important details to a more targeted audience. Who knows, if I get
really good at it, I might even do something fun with it! The white
Subscribe link above in the pink section will take you to a page where
you can sign up. You'll receive a confirmation email and can unsub at any
time. NOTE: If you are a subscriber, for some reason the newsletter comes
through as (unknown sender) Until I ask my email program techs how to change
that, please just check your junk folder for it. I usually send it on
Saturdays. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO DO A NEWSLETTER FOR
QUITE SOMETIME BUT I HAVE SOME IDEAS IN MY MIND FOR ONE.
Both my sites have kept me well supplied with work this year and I really
never know how much will come in at any given time, so please allow anywhere
from 1-4 weeks before you actually receive your order. It's just safe to
always assume that I'm busy. Then when you get your order sooner, it will be
a nice surprise--or if you don't see it for a week or two, you won't be
upset because you will already know that I am busy. If you want
to know where your order stands, please don't hesitate to call or email me.
I try very hard for good communication and will let you know if something
unusual has come up such as a family emergency or real life situation.
ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT USE DEBIT GIFT CARDS AS PAYMENT. MY
MERCHANT ACCOUNT CANNOT PROCESS THESE, BUT MY SHOPPING CART WILL NOT REJECT
THEM BECAUSE I PROCESS PAYMENTS MANUALLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN
THIS MATTER!
Well, on with the show!
Back to your regularly scheduled home page conversation! Oh if you have any
trouble seeing the links at the left, please scroll on down the page and the
Barbie clothes product categories are below. Today's handmade
Barbie doll clothes
-tomorrow's heirlooms.
That's what I strive for here at Barbee & Friends: quality, durability and beautiful handmade Barbie doll clothes and other size handmade fashion doll clothes that any collector, young or old, would feel proud displaying on their dolls.
Think of this site as your own personal boutique for fashion doll clothes,
not too large, not too small. At Barbee and Friends, your handmade Barbie doll clothes are created by just two people, myself and my mom. I make most of the doll clothes currently shown on this site--Mom makes some as well.
Meet Mom and me!
My handmade Barbie clothes are NEVER
outsourced to another country! You are supporting a US home business,
created with a lot of love and hard work, when you shop Barbee & Friends.
Mom and I are people just like you, hard-working moms ourselves.
To be sure you get your order for a special occasion, please order 3 weeks or more in advance if possible. At any given time there can or will be people ahead of you--if not you'll be pleasantly surprised! Please remember, all the doll clothes are handmade and most of the time your order will be made when you order. Due to all my wonderful customers buying so much, it's hard to keep items made fast enough and there aren't many things I can keep stocked
due to the differences in Barbie bodies. Thanks for your patience!
NEW! In the shopping cart there is a field for you to enter your Barbie's body type, classic or smaller build. This helps me to adjust the
Barbie clothes so they will fit better. It's a great idea to measure your
doll so that her clothes will fit. Classic doll = 5 1/2 inch bust line and
the newer dolls are 4 1/2 inches. On most of the clothes, it's very
important that I know what type of doll you have, especially if it is a
strapless gown. Even though about 95% of my orders are for the newer doll
body, it's still good to know what type doll you have. It saves me the time
of calling or emailing you. In fact, with some styles, when the space is
left blank, I have been assuming the doll is a newer body. When I'm
power-sewing, I simply don't have the time to contact people if the
information is not supplied.
Some people have asked about the dress set in the logo picture. Yes, I can make that for you and I still have a good amount of the tiny violet print fabric. Just click on the picture and it will take you to the
puff sleeve gown
page where you can select this gown from the pull down menu.
I am still selling dolls from my own collection on my site. Some are
gently used Barbie dolls
and some are
new or NRFB Barbies
. For your complete gift-giving needs, I thought this would be the perfect shopping experience, both dolls and clothes in one convenient place.
I have a lot of new Bratz that I am parting with so please just call me as I
haven't had time to list them yet. Browse through the Barbie doll clothes,
Ken Doll Clothes
and the
Bratz Clothes
and check out the variety and affordable prices.
Remember, cheaper is not necessarily better and that you get what you pay
for! Ok now...let's shop for some quality handmade Barbie clothes!
PLEASE NOTE: I do not have a catalog. My website is my catalog. By not having a catalog, I keep YOUR costs down.
All you have to do to make a wishlist is to print out the pages you like and
mail it to Grandma or Aunt Betty so they can order those items for you. I
prefer orders to be placed online but can certainly understand that some
customers simply prefer ordering by phone which is fine. Just have the item
name, price and quantity written down along with your card information.
Custom orders not accepted
(unless I think Mom would want to handle it) but regular orders are welcome!
This site's shopping cart has 128 bit SSL (secure socket layers) so rest assured your information is safe here.
I use Mal's which is protected by Thwarte and McAfee.
