Smart Switch 1967 Repro or hand made?

The more I look at this outfit (and no tag), the more I think it isn't original 1967.  

Could it be the repro color magic? 

Or, a very good handmade copy?

I think you're right, it isn't fully original.  A close but not quite good enough handmade copy or repair.  The fabric seems original, but not the rest.  Telltales are the stitching and seams. The belt is too wide. The belt buckle on the original had squared corners, not rounded.  Also look at the difference between the belt loopholes (looks new) and the neckline trim fabric (looks washed).

Note: There wasn't a Mattel reproduction of Smart Switch.

Your outfit is a very good replica; most likely handmade.
