Peasant dresses, also known as granny gowns, were popular in the 1970s, and Skipper seemed especially fond of red ones. |
Here is a list of the ones I own and some details about some of them, plus who is wearing the dress.
Top row, left: SunSet Malibu Skipper in #7774 Fancy Frock. The blouse is hard to tuck into the jumper's skirt. Both doll and outfit are from 1974.
Top row, center: Canadian Funtime Skipper in Best Buy #7218, both from 1975. Prettiest of the peasant dresses.
Top row, right: Growing Up Skipper in Growing Up #9023. Both doll and outfit are from 1975.
Bottom row, far left: SunSet Malibu Skipper in #9165 Bicentennial Fashion Patriotic and Pretty, the only Get Up N Go in this photo. All the others are Best Buys. The little drawstring purse it came with has the same flag decal as her pants outfit #9124 Naughty Jeans. You can't see them, but underneath the dress is a pair of pantaloons. The blue vest does not fit well over the puffy sleeves. Both doll and outfit are from 1976.
Bottom row, second from left: SunSet Malibu #9126 First Day of Summer, which consists of an smock top, eagle print skirt and a matching scarf. I hated those blouses in the 1970s. I always thought they looked like maternity blouses! Both doll and outfit are from 1976.
Bottom row, second from right: 1978 SunSet Malibu Skipper, now made in the Philippines, with new facial features, in 9707 Garden Party from 1977. It too came with a scarf. I think this looks like a nightgown, but then what was the scarf for?
Bottom row, far right: 1979 SuperTeen Skipper, in 1978 Best Buy 2234, which came with a flat vinyl purse.
