Pony Wear
This is the first set of Pony Wear
ever made. Each backcard features the My Little Pony logo at the top of the
card with the text Pony Wear in a ribbon below the logo. On the card it features
a drawn image of a pony wearing the particular outfit that comes with the set.
There is a different pony pictured on each outfit made.
These outfits were not intended to fit every pony. Ponies like Medley and Firefly (with the bent hoof) and Seashell and Bubbles (both in sitting poses) could not wear shoes. Also, certain outfits will not fit on Pegasi.
Most of these outfits were sold as
International
Pony Wear in countries such as Argentina and
Greece. Some were also sold in the U. K. and throughout Europe, Australia, and
other countries. Such items will be noted with the proper outfit.
A quick fact: All the cartoon ponies portrayed on the Pony Wear cards from
this year feature one of the six Earth
Ponies released in 1983.
Each outfit came with a puffy sticker depicting a pony wearing that particular
outfit.
Best of the West (cowboy outfit) pink saddle (heart accents),
white cowboy hat with pink band, silver bridle and reins (bridle and reins are
attached; flower accents), and
silver saddle blanket with fringe trim. No shoes came with this set.
The card features Bubbles wearing this outfit.

Pony Royal (princess outfit) royal deep pink cape with white
trim and a silver accent across bottom, four lavender shoes (no bows across
top), silver and clear crown (silver lace around the bottom) with pinkish-lavender
ribbon attachment.
The card features Bowtie wearing
this outfit. In
1985, this outfit was sold as International
Pony Wear, in the U. K. and other European countries with the card name,
Royal Pony.

.
The Tea Party (semi-formal outfit) straw hat with a lavender
flower on it and pink ribbon accents, pink shoes (no bows on shoes), floral
sheer coverlet. I wouldn't say it was intended to be a dress, due to the fact
that is sheer. However, it's not exactly a saddle blanket either.
The card features Seashell (in
her natural sitting pose) wearing this outfit.

Great Skates (skating outfit) four white quad skates
with pink wheels, white headband with pink stripe accent, purple saddle blanket
with bright pink trim accent and a pink ribbon waist tie, pink undecorated saddle.
The card features Applejack
wearing this outfit. In 1985,
this outfit was sold as International
Pony Wear, in the U. K. and other European countries with the card name,
Roller Skating.

Parade
Pizzazz (marching outfit) neon green plume headband with pink and green
accents on the bridle and forehead portion, neon green and purple saddle blanket
(with silver and pink trim), 4 pink shoes (no bows on shoes).
The card features Blossom wearing
this outfit.

Sweet Dreams (pajama outfit) pink terry cloth one-piece
pajamas with white lace trim (small pink bow over the tail area), four pink
fuzzy slippers, pink night cap with rosebud accents and pink ribbon tie, and
three purple rollers (two large sized rollers and one small).
Odd facts: The purple rollers that came with this set also came with several
other sets, like the Waterfall, for example. Also note that the pink material
(with rosebud accents) that the night cap was made of was also used in other
accessories and Pony Wear, such as the blanket from the Baby Buggy. Both the
mother and baby dresses from Sunday Stroll were made from this same material.
The card features Cotton Candy
wearing this outfit. In 1985,
this outfit was sold as International
Pony Wear, in the U. K. and other European countries with the same card
name, Sweet Dreams.
