Double Date (#4426) is a reprint of their 1957 #2757 Double Date. It
has the same dolls, though possibly fewer pages of clothes (which is
common with reprints). The reprint is die-cut, printed entirely on card
stock-like paper, so the dolls are printed on the same page as the
clothes. I never liked punch-out paper dolls because the perforations
always looked sloppy and there was a huge tendency for tabs to tear off
when taking them out of the page.

This set is like
many teen-age sets- the girls look like they're going on 35, and the
guys look 14, and they all wear incredibly high-waisted pants. Maybe
it's a babysitter double date. And in keeping with tradition- this set
is not labeled as a Cheerleader set, therefore it does have a
cheerleader outfit (as opposed to many Cheerleader sets with nary a pom
pom).
