My Bleu Heaven

Marielle

 

Marielle is a 1905 Premiére and the star of my collection. The Premiére was the first Bleuette and was only made for a short time so they are somewhat rare. Marielle is a beautiful example as she is in near perfect condition which is also rare for a 104 year old doll.  

The above outfit is made from LSDS 1905 #1, the 1st pattern published by La Semaine de Suzette and very appropriate for a Premiére. The outfit to the right is a copy of the Gautier-Languereau 1923 Marin.  Marielle came from France with a little trunk and several G-L outfits that were badly moth eaten so I made a copy for her to wear.
