  • First Year Only
  • A Flip Side Fashion
  • It was named after a Jem song
  • All outfit scans except shoes, belt and sunglasses,  courtesy of Rhonda Robinson
  • Kind of Madonna influenced, I think?
  • Like a Dream and the other Flip Sides in the 1986 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue (see left) The lace dress looks thinner/a different pattern, the "buckle" has a hole in the middle, the glasses are blue, the head wrap is darker, and the necklace is much longer.
  • Like A Dream in the 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. 
  • The drawing of Like A Dream on the 1986 Flip Side Fashions box art is nearly spot on.  Good job!
  • It did appear on the cartoon. Jem and Jerrica
  • The back of the box always says what is contained with the fashion.  The bold words in my descriptions are what Hasbro themselves stated came with the it; Includes; blue jumpsuit, lace dress, head wrap, belt, lace gloves, socks, pumps, sunglasses and silver beaded necklace. 
    Blue Jumpsuit; Aqua blue, neckline dips in the middle. 
    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. 
     
  • Felicity-chan has sent this photo of a paler-pink variant of the headwrap (shown right).
  • Belt, extra long and hot pink, leatherette material, it's intended to go around the waist twice. Pink sewn-on lamé belt buckle.
  • Scan courtesy of Antipathy
  • 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; (one of a pair; both are the same). Made of white/aqua cotton knit, trimmed with lace. 
     
  • Not the same fabric as Come On In's sweater.
  • Pumps; straight edge dark fluorescent pink shoes. 
     
  • Go to Jem Straight Edged shoes to tell them from other Jem fashions.
  • Rhonda's Like A Dream came with scallop-edged pink pumps
  • Sunglasses; hot pink, pink, smaller sized glasses. 
  • They are a bit darker than those from Gettin' Down to Business and a bit lighter than those from Music in the Air
  • 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...
