BARBIE IN FASHION edited by Renee Klock (Abbeville: $10.95; 327 pp., paperback original). As millions of parents have learned over the last 35 years, Babie’s wardrobe can be almost as expensive as a real daughter’s. The 300 outfits in this mini-album date from 1959 to 1989--from the Jackie Kennedy look to MTV-influenced styles. Women who had the dolls as children will enjoy this slightly campy anthology, as will students of fashion curious to see what has been considered chic yet acceptable by middle-class America.
