The first of Barbie's designer gowns, #7092 Springtime Magic, appears in both the Crystal Barbie and Barbie & Ken paper doll sets from 1984. I am writing about these two at the same time because they have many similarities.
Crystal Barbie is #1983-46 and includes Fashion Fun, Fashion Fantasy, one Twice as Nice, one Spectacular Fashion and one My First dress. Barbie & Ken (note the ampersand) is #1527 and features Twice as Nice outfits for the both of them, #7438 Silver Sensation and the original gowns for Crystal, Twirly Curls and Angel Face.

| On the cover, Barbie wears #7438 Silver Sensation and Ken wears a Whitman tuxedo. |
 |
| I don't think this is supposed to represent any particular Barbie doll. |
 |
| Whitman usually bases its paper dolls on actual dolls, but this is a generic Ken. |
 |
| Springtime Magic's first appearance is in the Barbie & Ken paper doll set. |
 |
| Ken wears a Whitman tuxedo and Barbie is in #4821 Double Date. |
 |
| The drawing does not capture the shimmer of her Crystal gown. |
 |
| Crystal Barbie paper doll wears shiny undergarments based upon her gown. |
 |
| Many 1984 outfits were very "yuppie" looking! |
 |
| I don't like that Crystal Barbie wink. It would have been more appropriate for the Western Barbie paper doll. |
