Learning about 1980's Cabbage Patch Kid clothing.
Happy Halloween!
May you and your patch have a safe and exciting Halloween!
The first set of outfits that came on ‘The Kid in the Middle’, Toddlers!
Toddler Outfits Summary Post
Toddler Outfits, 880s – 890s
These outfits are all copyrighted from 1987 but were sold in 1988, as indicated by the 8- in the clothing code. (For more information about these codes, visit: Part 2: The Code Addition)
It appears that these outfits were all produced while Coleco HQ was located in Amsterdam, NY, with production stopping before they moved their headquarters to Gloversville, NY, in 1989.
There are at least six outfits in this series, but there may be more after #875 that are unidentified. Outfit #870 came only on boys, and the girl’s version is outfit #874. There may be as many as ten different versions of each outfit (A – K). This means I need a lot more information!
These outfits came with regular white lace-up shoes.
My goal is to find every version of every outfit that was produced. Below is a record of each version of this outfit that I have.

If you have an outfit that is not recorded here or does not match my information, (e.g. You have a 501D OK that is pink, not yellow.) I would like to hear from you. Information is best sent in the form of pictures. For details, visit Taking Clothing Tag Pics.
Do not get outfit #875 with dinosaur pattern fabric confused with the Dino Overalls for regular-sized kids (#807). The latter is very HTF and very sought after. The toddler outfits, not so much.
Although the outfits look like they may have multiple pieces (e.g. a shirt and overalls), they are actually all one piece.
Outfit #873 looks very similar to toddler outfit #892, except the ruffle goes all the way across.
From our patch to yours, a very safe and happy Thanksgiving.
