I got these items in a lot and unless someone here knows differently I don't believe they are Hasbro. There is a bridal gown with garter and head piece, what I'm calling a "bridesmaid" dress with a little flower bouquet and pajamas. These have gotta be for ponies cause I don't think they'd fit right on anything else but I feel like you don't often see fakie pony wear but I guess they made as much of it as anything else. They're actually kinda cute, I went ahead and did a little fashion show to test them out LOL

Then I found these buttons, they have no trademark so I think they're just homemade but they seem old. I mean, I guess they could still be homemade and be old, it's just the look and feel of them, they feel like old buttons, if that makes sense. As far as I know though they aren't Hasbro produced, just look to me like someone made them from G1 paper scraps?

So far I found the wedding dress and it’s Greek.

I can’t find solid proof of the other two outfits but I know I had them growing up which means they could easily be from Spain. (I spent my young years living there and all I played with was my MLP’s.) But I distinctly remember playing with that flowers and the nighty. I think that is an alternative to the Sweet Dreams lace set.

If it’s not MLP it would’ve been Lady Lovely Locks.
 
no I don't think the wedding wear is greek - greek has more a hat than a veil (sorry my stuff is packed or I would post pics)

that would be cool if the pink outfit is a spanish version of pjs'

I am leaning to thinking they are homemade pony-outfits
 
They're so beautiful, congrats on the find!!
 
To help confirm for others in the search for these I got these exact same items, (except without the tiny veil) so I can confirm they are not custom made.

The closest approximation I could find was when I landed on a Swedish site in Europe searching for ponies to buy (even though I acquired them from a US estate sale lot). However the fuzzy sleepwear was not one of the ones the trader was selling. Just the pink dress and the white one. I have taken a copy of the images for my reference as it seems these are not very well documented and I wanted to compare in detail to the ones I have. I have some of the pictures of the others as I also got white fuzzy slippers, dark purple satin booties etc. I suspect the seller got them from another country as the packaging is not bilingual but then again looking at the full set includes more traditional patterns and a traditional costume design for the region. Also I noticed that the lace, fabric can be swapped around but using the same design pattern & trim style, e.g. the lace on the wedding dress has a couple different versions (perhaps whatever was available in bulk at the time) and there is a summer dress & hat with a couple of different floral patterns.

Regardless that the pony wear isn't Hasbro - it is REALLY cute!!
The buttons look like backcards and I can also tell you, button making was SUPER popular in the 80's. We used to sport all sorts of buttons on our jean jackets and then in the 90's we moved them to our backpacks.
They're still collectable in my opinion.
