    Fashion Avenue Friday; 2004 Diva Drive Collection (part 1) Archived Message

    Today we'll look at the last 2 Fashion Avenues in the last FA collection ever made. We'll also take a jump back to 1997 and look at a rare Kelly FA from that year.

    2004 Diva Drive Collection, stock # C4027- A super cute pajama set which included a robe, nightdress, fluffy slippers and a little bear-shaped pillow.

    A better look at the nightdress:

    2004 Diva Drive Collection, stock # C4028- A party dress of white lace over a lilac sheath with light purple trims. A sheer shawl, matching purse and lavender pumps were also included. The necklace is the doll's own.

    1997 Kelly Collection, stock # 19609- This is an ultra-rare FA and years ago when I first reviewed the whole 1997 Kelly collection I only showed this particular FA in NRFB condition. It was rare enough that I decided not to de-box it. However, in the intervening years I found one on ebay in de-boxed condition and so now, finally, Kelly and her friends are able to model it for you guilt-free. Like many Kelly FA's, it has lots of pieces and actually can be modeled by 3 separate models. A little paper booklet was also included.

    Close-up of the robe and slippers:

    And a close-up of the nightgown:

    I've still got a few Fashion Avenue related items to share but will be taking next week off. FAF will return for a few weeks in December to tie up those loose ends.
