Vintage Fisher Price My Friend
#237 Sunshine Party Dress
New in Package (A)

In the late 1970's to early 80's, Fisher Price introduced a series of soft bodied dolls with vinyl limbs, lush, brushable hair, vinyl faces, and easily removable clothes and accessories. The series, called My Friend dolls, featured 5 doll characters: Mandy, Jenny, Becky, Nicky, and Mikey. These dolls could be washed in the clothes washer and tumble dried in the dryer. Their hair could also be shampooed and styled in a variety of ways.
Here is a RARE My Friend Doll #237 Sunshine Party Dress for your perusal. This outfit was only manufactured for one year (1984)and came on a blister pack. It consisted of a yellow/white gingham pinafore dress with a white pleated bib, a yellow ribbon at the neck, and a saucy ruffle at the bottom. Velcro fasteners made it easy for little fingers to dress their dolls. The dress was accompanied by a white straw hat trimmed with a yellow ribbon and a pair of white slip on shoes. The outfit and hat does not exhibit any pulls, stains, marks, or tears on any of the fabrics and they have never been removed from their original blister pack. The shoes, on the other hand, appear to have developed some stains on the tops. This can be easily rectified by the new owner by soaking these shoes for 24-48 hours in bleach. I have done this before on other pairs of Mr Friend Dolls' shoes and it works like a charm. Like the dolls, the dress is machine washable. I would recommend using cold water and either laying the item flat to dry or tumble dry it in low heat.
Made in Mexico, this outfit is EXTREMELY hard to find with all of its components. While the blister pack has never been opened, the seam is torn @ 1 1/4 " on the upper right hand side of the package and the lower right hand cellophane corner displays some wear. Due to some bowing of the package and this torn seam, I would rate this package as being an 8.0 out of 10 with 10 being perfect.
This outfit weighs 7 oz. UNWRAPPED. I will be shipping it inside a box to protect the integrity of the cellophane and its package. If I can keep the weight under 13 oz., I will ship it First Class. Otherwise, I will send it via either Priority Mail or Parcel Post. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
I'm more than willing to combine purchases into one shipment. All I ask is that you check out and combine all of your purchases on one invoice so that I won't be charged multiple PayPal transaction fees. This also allows me to easily print out a shipping label using PayPal's services.
