Doll Clothing for Bleuette & other 11″ – 12″ Dolls

Bleuette is a small articulated bisque headed doll made in Paris from 1905 until 1957.   She was the invention of the Paris publisher,  Henri Gautier, and his staff at the girls’ magazine, La Semaine de Suzette, published every Thursday from 1905 until 1960, with six years off due to the German occupation of France during WWII.  Bleuette springs from the fashion doll and the magazine mannequin traditions.  Her continued popularity is mainly due to her stylish wardrobe, which came from two sources: magazine sewing patterns and ready-made clothing.    Bleuette doll measurements are:  11″ – 12″  Shoulders 3″,   Waist   6″,   Hips 7 1/2
