I tried to order Fleur dolls according to their release year. My order is based on the box design, the photos at the back of the boxes, the facemold of the doll, cataloque/booklet photos I have found and the item number as a hint.
I think the item number is a hint when the dolls were designed, not necessarily when they were released. The appearances of dolls in cataloques are inconsistent, some dolls might be advertised and released at the end of the year for Christmas, so I would count them to the following year, some dolls were sold and advertised for several years. That's why I focused more on the boxes and the dolls themselves.
Most dolls have more than one edition. I only included a second/third edition of a doll if she came in a new box design.
However this chronology is just an educated guess and not factical.
Lente probably released late 78/ beginning of 79.
Basic Fleur still produced and sold throughout this year. Babysitter might have been released this year as well.
Experimental year, new bodies and facemolds introduced.
Shopping probably released at the end of the year, already introducing My Fair Lady at the back of the box. My Fair Lady sold at the end of the year (Christmas release?).
Travel Fleur has no cataloque number and no promotional photos. Her release date is just a guess based on her appearance.
Amazone and Bride's Happiness may have been introduced at the end of the year with a new facemold.
Famous Fashion still produced and sold throughout this year.
Look Around released at the end of the year with the New Look facemold. In this year also other dolls sold in slim nameless boxes in older ourfits (Jogging, Amazone, Bermuda, Famous Fashion etc).
