The 1988 Perfume Pretty paper dolls are not at all attractive. Both Barbie and Whitney are frowning and Ken's smile looks forced. The stock number is 1500.
I also think the separate line of Perfume Pretty Barbie clothes were too mature for little girls and were definitely aimed at adult collectors. They look like outfits a madam in a late 1800s Western brothel would wear.
Barbie goes steampunk saloon girl in her Perfume Pretty dresses. |
The strips on either side of Whitney aren't stands, they are cardboard bracelets for a little girl. |
I can hear Barbie sighing, "Alas! Woe is me!" |
Like the Jewel Secrets paper doll set of 1987, it came with a cardboard necklace to wear. |
The cover of Perfume Pretty has a vaguely Gothic feel. |
