Now we find ourselves in 1973. Velvet et al had these outfits in the final collection called Crissy and Velvet Sweet 'N Lovely Collection.
They are: Loverly (also called Peasantries), Dandy Denims, Blouson Battle, Strawberry Smock, Pulled Together, and Smocked. Yes, you noticed correctly! Loverly/Peasantries and Dandy Denims are reissues. Here are the four new ones for 1973:
Strawberry Smock is adorable! It came with rather sheer matching panties.
I included this detail shot of the varying sleeves that can be found on Pulled Together.
Mia looks read for a day at the beach in Smocked!
Velvet and her friends could buy shoes to match their outfits in blister-packed cards.
