Chilly Chums Production Sample – extremely rare 

 

This coat is made of the same material as Francie’s “Shoppin’ Spree” coat and is most likely a production sample. It has a Skipper tag. The belt and the applications on the sleeves are glued and have a darker look. This material was also found on a prototype fashion for Skipper – “Play Pants”. Since the pattern of this fabric doesn’t go with the pattern of the mass produced dress, it is likely that this sample coat came with white dress (a prototype of this dress has been found). There are only a few known examples of that coat.

Japanese Exclusive Skipper Fashion 

"Taiko Girl"

- very rare - ca. 1972

 

This  Skipper outfit from Japan is a rarity. Around 2014 two MOC fashions were found in Japan and one was found dressed on a Sun Sun Skipper in 2016. It was probably released around 1972. The fashion is not tagged.

 

This is the only known fashion for Skipper sold exclusively in Japan  - along with the Japanese kimono of the vintage Skipper dolls. It’s not possible to state a value for that fashion.

 

The set consisted of orange-red pants with golden yarn, a white blouse, the headpiece from "Flower Girl", white knee-high socks, a small flower bracelet (probably from "Barbie in Hawaii" #1605), a Japanese taiko drum (that's why I call this set "Taiko Girl" - it's not the official labeling), a green cummerbund (from „Ken in Mexico“ #778) and orange-red flats (probably unmarked).
