Here we see the Chelly Wood doll (she's actually a Liv doll that has had a make-over so it looks like the real person, Chelly Wood) holding up McCall's vintage Barbie pattern #6420 which has images of Barbie wearing six different outfits. The pattern's container is very worn but the images are colorful and sharp. This pattern was marked with a copyright of 1962.

This is a FREE printable sewing pattern for summer shorts that dolls sizes 14 inch, 15 inchs, 16 inches, or 17 in. can wear. It also fits 12" baby dolls.
