| dbo:abstract | Bleuette is a doll that was produced from 1905 to 1960 in France, that was available to readers of the girls' magazine La Semaine de Suzette, or the English version - "Suzette's Week". Bleuette has a fully jointed composition body. She was 27 cm (10" 5/8) tall until 1933, then 29 cm (11" 3/8) until production ended in 1960. She had a bisque head until World War II, then a composition head until 1958 when a hard plastic body and head were used for the last two years of production. The magazine came out weekly and included patterns for the doll. More than 1,060 patterns were published over the 55 years Bleuette was available. The first Bleuette dolls are known as "Premiere Bleuette", and were given free to those who had placed an order for a year's subscription to La Semaine de Suzette before its first publication in February 1905, and were available only until one month after the first issue. 20,000 Jumeau dolls were ordered from the Société Française de Fabrication de Bébés et Jouets (SFBJ) for the initial advertisement, but 60,000 subscriptions were received, and this first supply of dolls were gone before the first issue was even released. Over the years the doll was given a younger sister, Benjamine, in 1926, which was on the market only a short time, then a baby brother, Bambino, in 1928. An older sister, Rosette, was her companion in her last years between 1955 and 1960. The doll is popular with modern doll collectors for its size and the vast assortment of patterns available spanning 55 years of fashion trends. During the first world war, there were Red Cross nurses outfits, Tipperary outfits, aviator outfits, automotive outfits, skating and ski outfits. Many designers over the years contributed to the design of the Bleuette doll's wardrobe. Jeanne Lanvin was especially noted as a contributor. Well-known artists drew the illustrations for the catalogues, and they are collected today. Noted are Manon Iessel and Maggie Salcedo. Joseph Pinchon drew the comical Bécassine which was turned into a companion doll for Bleuette. La Semaine de Suzette also included patterns for an assortment of furniture that could be made from cardboard. Furniture was available for the doll through the offices of the publisher. Also available at the offices were a repair shop for broken dolls as well as new heads and wigs. The publishers of La Semaine de Suzette were devout Catholics and wished to find a way to get the Christian message into French homes. The home arts which young girls learned were intended to teach them to be good mothers and good Christian French wives. There were patterns for bridal dresses and Christening gowns in the magazine, and a Holy Communion dress available through the publishing offices and catalogues.

(fr) Bleuette è una bambola che fu prodotta in Francia dal febbraio 1905 fino all'inizio del 1960 ed è attualmente una delle più ricercate dai collezionisti, specialmente statunitensi. Bleuette venne creata appositamente dalla SFBJ (Societe Francaise de Fabrication de Bebes et Jouets) per la Semaine de Suzette, una rivista settimanale per ragazze. La bambola era il premio per le lettrici che sottoscrivevano un abbonamento annuale alla rivista. La casa editrice aveva preventivato 20.000 abbonamenti: le domande furono più di 60.000. Bleuette diventò così una bambola popolarissima, anche perché una rubrica del settimanale, Nous habillons Bleuette, proponeva cartamodelli di ogni genere per cucirle un guardaroba completo. L'aspetto e le dimensioni della Bleuette variarono nel corso degli anni, armonizzandosi al gusto dell'epoca, passando dalla Première Bleuette del 1905, alta 27 cm, con occhi blu dipinti, parrucca di capelli veri e sopracciglia marcate di stile ancora ottocentesco, alla Bleuette degli anni 1950 alta 29 cm con occhi dormienti, sopracciglia sottili e parrucca in mohair. Altre bambole si aggiunsero alla "Famiglia di Bleuette": la sorella minore Benjamine, prodotta nel 1926 ma che durò pochissimo sul mercato, il fratellino Bambino, prodotto nel 1928, ed infine la sorella maggiore Rosette che fu prodotta dal 1955 al 1960 nel tentativo di rinnovare un interesse che andava via via scemando. Oggi la Bleuette è una delle bambole più ricercate dai collezionisti e conta legioni di appassionate, soprattutto grazie ad un guardaroba immenso di abitini dal delizioso gusto retro che chiunque è in grado di riprodurre anche senza cognizioni specialistiche (non dimentichiamo che i modelli erano studiati per essere realizzati da ragazzine) ed anche grazie alle sue dimensioni, piccole quel tanto che basta per impiegare poca stoffa, senza peraltro richiedere abilità di miniaturista. Dato il costo ormai proibitivo delle Bleuettes originali, esistono varie ditte che realizzano riproduzioni in porcellana di questa affascinante bambola, nonché modelli per realizzarne una riproduzione in stoffa che non ha niente da invidiare alle sorelle più raffinate.
