BALLET OUTFIT # 1 This outfit suits Danse best, so the eBay seller displayed the fashion on her. The poloroid however, shows the fashion on a Jem doll. The bodysuit is a bright pink lycra with silver lame straps, sheer pink ruffle sleeves, with silver dots. The skirt is a sheer pink with silver dots, and silver lame waistband. The tights are silver.
The prototype number is: 610171-03M. |
BALLET OUTFIT # 2 This prototype outfit was posted on eBay in June 2007. It was a pleasant surprise for collectors, as most people thought the outfit on the left was the only one that existed. When multiple prototypes of the same fashion appear, it is interesting to note the differences, and progression of the design.
The prototype number is: 611235-05M. This fashion sold for $709.99 in June, 2007 |

ON STAGE PINK-TURQUOISE DRESS or ROCK N CURL JEM PROTOTYPE DRESS? According to the eBay winner,
this prototype "was definately up for Rock N Curl proto consideration.
Hasbro didn't think the fashion proto was 'frilly enough. So, they went
with the purple RNC dress that we've come to know. Their decision was
mostly based on the pink hanging bows on the shoulder and dress. They thought
the pink bows made the dress flow."

According to the eBay seller, this fashion was meant for the 1988 fashion line but was never manufactured, and may be one of a kind. The back of the Polaroid reads "On Stage Fashion designed Sept. 1986." The dress is shiny pink knit with square dots. The skirt and shoulder deco are a blue/green shiny lame and the ruffle is a silver fishnet. The tights are an iridescent stretch knit. |

ON STAGE DRESS
This fashion is one of the most
interesting prototypes because of its resemblance to the Smashin' Fashion,
"Designing Woman" which is part of the Misfits line.
Many Jem collectors believe that this dress was originally an On Stage Fashion which was moved over to the Smashin' Fashions
line. Although, the ID tags, and dress pattern both describe it as an On Stage Fashion,
which is for the Jem and the Holograms line.
I guess it is up to interpretation.
The eBay winner of this fashion, however, says the two are, "seriously nothing alike when you really look at them. [They have] different materials all together, different pattern, stitching length, ruffle placement and materials."
The
eBay seller described the dress as having satin moiré, taffeta ruffles, and
bright pink knit tights. It also came with a bright pink
hairpiece.
The
prototype number is: 610073-01M. The date on the poloroid says
10-7-86.
This fashion sold for $524.50 in August 2006

PAISLEY SWEATSUIT This On Stage prototype is shown in two colors. They may look the same upon first glance, but there are very apparent differences between the two. You can clearly see that the second version's revisions made the fashion more cost-effective, although this fashion was never mass produced. The original version is purple or dark magenta; the second version, shown on the right is pink which reflects the Jem fashion line much better. The original one has the paisley pattern woven into the fabric. The second version has the paisley pattern painted onto the fabric. The original also has green trim sewed onto the edge of the cowl-neck collar, which is missing on the revised version. Lastly, the bottom of the top for the original has a stretchy, knit, trim, which is also not on the revised version. Each version was also sold by different eBay sellers. |
