Perfection.
A Lego set without a single piece of Lego? Impressive.
And is that a starry cocktail dress with frill at the bottom?
So I get that it's just a new wardrobe for your dolls at home, but wouldn't you want to have two different wardrobes and a doll just so that there's more incentive to buy them? Totally weird.
Ah, yes. I love how well this meshes with System bricks.
Looks like Huwbot was put in charge of the April Fools joke this year!
Guess we have a little fool, too bad it was only 6 days ago when the last set from a girly theme came up!
Fool-o-meter: 20%.
Like, I'm not questioning Lego's attempt to appeal to a different market of toy buyers.
I'm questioning their fashion sense, though.

Depends on your definition of piece: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3101-1
But there is a weird 4x4 plate thing for some reason despite the fact there's nothing to stick on it. And there's a hanger with some usable connection points.
A yes, the perfect set for serial killers.
(Sarcasm enabled) This is such a GREAT set!!!! Makes even the Parisian Reataurant, UCS Imperial Shuttle, Ninjago Movie Destiny’s Bounty and the entire Lord of the Rings line look like they belong in the part bins. Amazing!!!
Perhaps the heels of the shoes can connect to the studs on the 4x4 Scala plate. And that bracelet/watch face may be a standard hollow stud which would connect to the underside of the plate. It's a stretch, but possible.
And for what's it worth, Scala studs are no harder to connect to than Duplo...
Finally, a good random set
For real tho, I love those 4x4 Scala plates; bought a few and am planning on using them as art on walls
I have no fashion sense (and nearly all of my clothes come from Tractor Supply or Walmart), but that outfit is just hideous! I think the same can be said for the appearance of most Scala dolls. They just didn't have good face sculpts.
The other 8 pieces are the invisible doll

Ive never seen a clear image of a scala plate before and all I have to say is.. what? How...? How do they work? Bricklink's 240p images of the sets dont really make it clear
I'm washing me and my clothes
Well, you learn from your mistakes...
The Scala Cloths are great for MOCing. I've tried them myself, and I confirm that they can work great if used well.
Here is one of my Scala MOCs:

Looks like what somebody would wear when they want to pretend they are a mermaid for a few hours and flop around in a bathtub.
It wasn't a good year to be born in...
It contains 11 pieces.
It contains 0 bricks, as I see.
Wunderbar!
Was this a license agreement with Barbie?

No, Scala was a non-licensed theme and had nothing to do with Barbie.
Those Scala folks either had the most awesome dress sense or the most terrible. I can't decide. Everyone needs to look at pictures of the full range. Go on.
I dare you...
THIS IS NOT LEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slobrojoe, unfortunately, it was, just like Galidor.
Eagerly awaiting the parts analysis by @Veyniac as usual :)
LEGO : Barbie dress up.
I love the Scala meets tornado images they used for these sets. Those poor Barbie-like dolls should've built their houses w/system bricks.
Almost clikits, but more like barbie. Ok...
Told my daughters I wouldn´´´´'t buy any Scala...
Found a set at really good price...
They ended up with 38 sets.
And some double copies...
Told them I wouldn´´´´'t buy any Clickits.
Ended up with 27 different sets.
Several in multiple copies...
All of them resting in my attic now..

The heel of the shoe fits on the round stud of the plate. The doll can thus stand alone.
