The Fashion Parade doll came in two versions that I have been able to find.
One is in a brown box, ( which may actually be faded down from yellow), and one in a blue box.

The blue box had a blue dress with medalians, a white dress with embroidery work, a pink dress with a hip bow, and a turqoise dress faded down to ivory (check the color of the bias tape on the hem, and turquoise shoes for the outfit),  with shoulder ties, and belongs with the 24 inch doll.

The brown (yellow) box had the white embroidered dress, with matching wide-brimmed portrait hat, a long satin, silver embellished formal, with a large blue bow, a turquoise green satin dress with matching wide-brimmed portrait hat, and a pink nighty to go with the 20 inch doll.

This is a picture I borrowed from a seller on ebay showing a vintage MINT set of the 20" Fashion Parade doll, with all the original accessories, in the still crisp and clear colors of the original doll.  Notice the color of the turquoise dress, since it usually fades down to an ivory color.

Shoes for every dress, pink for the pretty pink dress, blue for the blue dress, green for the green dress faded down, and white for the white dress.
The blue dress shown below just has a small hat for it's accessory, instead of the full portrait hat.

Notice that this doll is a brunette, and this is the 20 inch version, which came with a pink negligee set, a white satin silver stiching embelished gown, with a dark navy bow.  She aslso sported a green satin street-length dress with big pink roses, and a matching wide-brimmed portrait hat, that has usually faded down to an ivory.  If you find one, you will find green stiching and green bias tape on the hemline, indicating that it was at one time that color.  She also has some of the fanciest jewelry for a doll of this size, with large bauble earrings, and a matching necklace.  She also has the pretty embroidered dress that is found frequently on the 24 inch Janie doll.

The top dress has ties that form a bow on the shoulder with a ruffle showing at the bottom of the dress and a large flower. There is also the wide-brimmed hat. The dress at the top is the way you usually find this dress.  The turquoise picture shows the color it was, before it faded down. This version is the 20 inch Fashion Parade dress, but the color is what I want you to see.

The dress on the bottom has three-quarter length sleeves and a huge bow with flower at the hip, also with the wide-brimmed hat. Can you imagine walking around all night fighting that bow on your hip?
