Using Martha Nichol's pattern book, "My First Bleuette" I have created 8 different costumes for your own extraordinary doll! Starting with underclothes and sleepwear, there are outfits for play, dress-up, visiting, and winter weather.  All pieces are designed to accommodate both vintage and reproduction Bleuettes.

  • Robe De Chambre : vintage  cotton with linen collar and cuffs. Silk top-stitching and vintage glass button
  • Classic Sailor Suit : vintage cotton velveteen, natural linen, gold braid and embroidery
  • Visiting Dress : under slip is crisp cotton batiste, edged in Val lace. vintage cotton print dress with Valencienne cotton lace. Hand painted buttons with hand worked button holes. Antique lace and silk ribbon belt.  Matching chapeau is Swiss paglina hat braid.
  • Apron :  100 % cotton with vintage cotton contrasting pocket , matching hair bow
  • Dressy Dress : Vintage all-over lace trimmed with velvet ribbon and embroidered lace. Matching 1920's head band of lace. Under dress is vintage kimono silk.
