Chatty Cathy Clothes

Chatty Cathy is a true cultural icon. She may not have achieved the same fame as Barbie, but this other Mattel doll is a great representation of the toy technology of her time. Chatty Cathy made her debut in the market back in 1959. With the success of her sales, new editions continued to be produced until 1998 and 2001 when special limited edition Chatty Cathies were produced.

Chatty Cathy has since penetrated language and embedded herself in figurative speech. A Chatty Cathy is now used to refer to somebody extremely talkative. Chatty Cathy also has associations with the entertainment world, particularly the girls of the Brady Bunch who provided her voice at one point. She was also the inspiration for Twilight Zone`s creepy evil doll Talky Tina.

One of the earliest Chatty Cathy clothes was an outfit involving a blue dress, a white eyelet overblouse, a pair of panties, crinoline, and white socks. Another vintage Chatty Cathy clothes set comprised of a red sunsuit partnered with a red pinafore, a white voile overskirt, and white socks. These two outfits became available in 1960. They came with Chatty Cathy doll shoes in blue and in red.

One of the original Chatty Cathy clothes sets collectors are looking for is the blue capri pants and sleeveless white top set for Chatty Cathy`s summertime fun. Another favorite among the Chatty Cathy doll clothes is the nursery school outfit. These are just some examples of vintage Chatty Cathy outfits from the `60s. As you get deeper into the pastime of collecting Chatty Cathy outfits, you`ll find that she was one well-dressed doll.
