In 1997 Mattel added Fashion Avenue line names to the packages. They reissued some of the fashions from 1996 and added new ones. Some of the new ones are the same fashions as last year but change color. For example a purple and black dress from 1996’s Party line is reissued with silver instead of purple fabric and one 1996 Denim line outfit is moved to Boutique. The Boutique line is the largest line this year. High-fashion styles for Barbie doll. Each is a complete outfit with shoes and accessories.

Posts for each fashion pack, and it’s contents (dresses, shoes, accessories) will be added when they are available.
