CHECK THIS -1967
Those old doll commercials can make a collector obsessive! Some of you may remember the 1967 TV ad I posted recently featuring Francie and her pal Casey and some of those wild 1967 fashions … well, seeing that ad years ago first ignited my desire for not only Francie and Casey but also some specific outfits of theirs, with these two being at the top of my wishlist. Most of you have seen ‘Border-Line’ on my Francie in a recent pic, but here’s my blonde Casey wearing ‘Check This,’ A black and white gingham checked taffeta number that’s perfect for all those dances! This outfit retains all the terrific designer detailing of the earlier vintage outfits, with the chiffon ruffles edging the neckline and hem, and the very thin inset of yellow chiffon in the fashionable ‘empire’ waist seam, not to mention those very ‘Mod’ appliqued vinyl daisies scattered over the skirt and dotting the matching chiffon shawl. It also came with some short white gloves, but I thought I would leave them off, just as Casey did in the TV ad I posted earlier. These two outfits look so great together, that I think I will leave them displayed together for now.
