Widely acknowledged as the most knowledgeable English-speaking expert on Bleuette, the author presents the historical and sociological background of this long-lasting doll, and traces her development and changes in manufacture over the decades. Bleuette's family members and friends are also featured in this informative volume, and an extensive section on her wardrobe is included as well. Over 200 colour photographs of Bleuette and her costumes, as well as original pages from 'La Semaine de Suzette' and other French publications from the doll's history make this book a visual treasure trove of information for beginning and advanced collectors.

Excellent book!,

This review is from: Bleuette: The Doll and Her Wardrobe (Hardcover)
Barbara Hilliker's depth of knowledge on the subject and all the research she has done, as well as compiling the knowledge from so many others, is very impressive. Her history background really comes out in this effort. Although just a book showing the dolls and their outfits would have been great, learning about the history behind Bleuette's times makes the experience so much more rounded. I feel like I learned so much about the doll in one day.The format of the book is wonderful as well; beautiful pictures, wonderful graphics. The copies of original "Le Semaine de Suzette" jump right off the page at you, as if you were holding the original article.

Review of Bleuette: The Doll and Her Wardrobe,
This review is from: Bleuette: The Doll and Her Wardrobe (Hardcover)
I purchased the combination of this book and another, thinking I was going to receive an extensive collection of Bleuette patterns. Instead, I got coffee table books with only a few patterns drafted by the author, rather than the original patterns. I found the advertising text misleading, and would not have ordered them had I known I was not going to get real Bleuette patterns.
