B Series Preemie Outfits Summary
Description
This outfit consists of three pieces. The first is the cotton bubble romper with overall type top half. The overall bib has three horizontal ribbons running across the bottom and a bow on the right side. An arched Cabbage Patch Kid patch is on the right side of the bib as well. The second is a blouse with a single large ruffle at the shoulder. Finally, the bonnet matches the pattern/colour of the bottom of the bubble romper and is edged with lace.
Many of them are patterned and coloured in various shades of purple, making it difficult to make sure they actually go together.
Footwear: Regular white shoes and socks
This outfit was sold only on dolls manufactured in 1985. Preemies were not made in 1986.
