Cheek to Cheek, 60 pieces (retail price $60)- This lovely gown was an exclusive for Cheryl's Collectibles. It has an interesting 1-shoulder design with beading on the collar and a huge layered tulle-over-satin lower skirt with attached contrasting vivid blue silk trims. Gold dagger earrings (not shown on this doll because she's wearing her own but identical to the silver ones shown in the next fashion) and black pumps were also included. A little silver hair clip with attached black feather is a stylish hair accessory.

Mid-Century Chic, 50 pieces (retail price $62)- This gorgeous sheath gown was an exclusive to Marl & B, a doll dealer that I think is still active today. The gown is a neutral beige color but with a delightful group of embroidered starbursts on the lower right half. The blue sash with attached self bow in the back is separate (and sadly, by no amount of tugging, or trying it on smaller-waisted dolls, could I manage to fasten it so the doll's hand is covering the safety pin I ended up using to fasten it). Silver dagger earrings and tan pumps completed the ensemble.
