Dressed Skipper also was available in 5 additional outfits
The dressed Skipper dolls were available through the Mattel catalog when purchased in the #1083 Skipper Master Assortment. She was only available in the following 1964 fashions:
#1901 Red Sensation
#1902 Silk N Fancy
#1903 Masquerade Party
#1904 Flower Girl
#1907 School Days
#1908 Skating Fun
Also included in the Master assortment besides the six dressed dolls, were twelve standard Skipper dolls dressed in a red and white swimsuit and twenty-four packs of Skipper ensembles (which were also sold separately as item #1300). The twenty-four packs of clothing consisted of two each of all ten ensembles that were released for Skipper in 1964. There was also a counter display tray for the six dressed dolls. Unfortunately, there was only a description and not a picture of the master assortment in the Mattel catalog.
The box of the swimsuit Skipper and dressed Skipper look very similar, with just two big differences. The sides of the dressed box have three horizontal stripes on it, and the end flap of the box is white with a marking "dressed doll".
I believe the dressed Skipper dolls did come with a wrist tag, and did not have a cardboard liner in the box like the regular dolls had. Of course there are exceptions to every rule in Barbieland. If you happen to see a Japanese Market Skipper dressed doll, they do have liners in their boxes! And they were available later than 1964.
