	Blue jumpsuit: Aqua blue spandex, neckline dips in the middle. The blue has a tendency to fade, I've had two NRFB fashions with blue-grey fronts.
	Lace dress: stretchy white lace, velcros in back, sleeves are sewn into the "rolled up" position.
	Head wrap: sheer pink material, elasticized with a velcro closure. there is a head wrap variant. The head wrap can come edged (serged) in different thread colours. Both were found in H44 boxes.
	Belt: extra long and hot pink, leatherette material, it's intended to go around the waist twice. Pink sewn-on lamé belt buckle.
	Lace gloves: More like arm bands, there are no fingers or even a place for the thumb to go through. They are made of the same material as the dress.
	Socks: Made of white/aqua cotton knit, trimmed with lace. Not the same fabric as the Come On In sweater.
	Pumps: straight edge dark fluorescent pink shoes. Rhonda Robinson's fashion came with scallop edged pumps. I don't think this is common.
	Sunglasses: pink. They are less orange than those from Gettin' Down to Business and a bit lighter than those from Music in the Air. See a photo of the two together, and four pairs together. It seems likely there is another version of the glasses with the triangular-nose notch; I have yet to see it however. Damian's fashion came with medium blue sunglasses.
	silver beaded necklace: looks pretty generic to me :\ I'm not sure how you could tell the genuine article apart from a fake without having an original on hand to compare it with.

Bold listings are those I have used to create this ID page. Anything in Italics I haven't actually seen but have good reason to believe exists. If you have any photos or information/corrections to share, I'd love to hear about it!

1986 German Leaflet (same photo appears in the 1986 Belgium catalogue):	No belt, no glasses, no necklace. The lace dress looks like a different fabric but I can't say for sure.
