1991 Fun to Dress set revised in 1994 with fewer outfits

Paper doll sets 1695-1 from 1991 and 2371 from 1994 have many similarities but are not identical.  Both feature the 1991 Fun to Dress Barbie as its doll.

The Deluxe Paper Doll set from 1991 has a photo of Costume Ball Barbie on the front with the doll to punch out on the back cover.  Inside are numerous outfits, both ones to punch out and others to color in and cut out.  All of them are Mattel designs, some original outfits and some separate outfits sold for Barbie.  There is a tote to color and cut out on the last page.

The Barbie Paper Doll set is dated both 1991 and 1994.  I do not know the name of the Barbie or her outfit on the front cover.  The back cover has a portrait to punch out and stand up.  The same Fun to Dress Barbie is inside, and the last page, also heavier cardstock, is a pretty pink tote with drawings of fruit on it.  The same 1991 Mattel clothes are inside to punch out, but not the ones to color.


The back of the 1994 folder has
a cardboard portrait of Barbie to set on your dresser or desk.


The gown is 7764 Ballgown or Beautiful Bunny.


The centerfold of both folders has 1991 original outfits:
Birthday, Lights N Lace and Hawaiian Fun.


1991 Fun to Dress Barbie is on the back cover,
but in 1994 she is inside the folder.


The 1991 Fun to Dress Barbie has Costume Ball on the front
while the 1994 has an unidentified doll
