  • The Second Year package photograph of Sophisticated Lady, (the same photo is used for the 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue, the 1987 France/UK Toy Fair Catalogue, the Second Year Jem Catalogue Poster) looks pretty close to the produced version, but the tabard looks like lamé, it's actually more of a satin fabric.

    Dress: Stretchy, matte aqua blue tunic dress.
     
  • Do not confuse it with an altered dress from Dancin' the Night Away -the material is not shiny, nor are there slits up the sides, for starters!

    Gloves: Made of the same fabric, gold stretchy sparkle material as those from the armbands from Only the Beginning, but are much shorter and are handless gloves, not armbands.

    Tabard: It's reversible, with a Jem side (gold with Jem logo) and a Jerrica side (blue and white stripes).
