Sashays
"Sashays - lovely scented fashion dolls that go straight to a little girl's heart!"
Sashays were produced by Galoob in 1986. They were a series of twenty four small scented dolls with large, lacey skirts. They are a little known series, in fact this may be the only site with information on them!

Dolls
"Sashays are a delightful combination of fashion doll, hair play, and wonderful scents for little girls. What's her favourite scent? Roses? Lilacs? Orange blossoms? She can have them all in a delicious potpourri of scented fashion dolls. Imagine the fun of collecting her own garden full of special "scentsible" play! There are 24 dolls in all, each with removable pillow skirt, delicate lace slip, comb, lock of hair, hair ribbon, and a lacy hair accessory. Style her lovely hair, dress her in a beautiful scented gown, take her to the ball. Then let her rest in her own beautiful pillow/skirt bed. Sweet dreams, little Sashay - 'til it's time to play!"
There were 24 dolls produced in 4 different sets of 6 dolls. They all had names, but were only mentioned on their individual packaging.
Each doll came with a pillow/dress, pink comb and brush, headdress, and a small heart-shaped pink stand. Some dolls had moulded necklaces, others had moulded straps, and all had moulded earrings, painted bodices and feet.
The publicity images differed slightly from the finished product, but for many this is as good as it's going to get!
