A beautiful auburn brown molded hair 20" Effanbee Dy-Dee LOUISE from the late 1930's to early 1940's in the Mold 2 --she is just as cute as can be -- this BIGGEST and most adorable Effanbee Dy-Dee Lou / Dy-Dee Louise. She has a beautiful molded hair head and lovely rosy cheeks.
ALL ORIGINAL doll -- Gorgeous original color.
The 20" Dy-Dee dolls are the HARDEST to find of all the Dy-Dee dolls issued, and when you do find one it is often times in poor shape... this lovely baby girl has a gorgeous head and excellent rubber body and comes with her pretty layette as shown... nice opportunity to pick one up... and MY favorite size and issue of the Dy-Dee dolls because she is almost like a REAL BABY in looks, feel and function.
For those of you who are new to Dy-Dee, she is a marvelous WONDER DOLL. She can drink and wet like many baby dolls, but when she wets the special valve system inside allows the moisture to leak out slowly from her backside opening -- just like a real baby. She is VERY HEAVILY weighted to feel like a real baby in your arms, too. Another unique feature is that you can turn her head to the side with her eyes open, and when you go to lay her down her eyes stay open. Alternatively, you can close her eyes and turn her head to keep them closed even when she is held upright. She can BLOW BUBBLES and loves to be bathed. Her special jointed system prevents water from getting inside her when bathing -- just an all-around AMAZING doll. Any little girl would be happy with a Dy-Dee of her own, how about you?
Dy-Dee has a nice head and a very nice body... her joints are squeaky tight and she sits upright and raises and lowers her arm just fine -- her rubber is in excellent condition -- she has been cleaned and has beautiful skin tone -- still firm and strong (and supple!) She has NO crazing and her fingers and hands and feet are perfect.
Her beautiful baby head... Her face is just lovely -- absolutely GORGEOUS, and near perfect, with an open nurser mouth; well defined painted brows and under lashes. BEAUTIFUL rubber inset EARS with only a small bit of wear! AUBURN molded hair has little wear. She has sparkling brown eyes, and they open and close perfectly -- beautiful brush lashes are all there.
Dy-Dee comes dressed in her original cotton baby dress, original slip, and RARE blue LINEN coat and bonnet set. The dress has wear, including a seam down the front of the bodice. The coat set is in MINT CONDITION but for a wear spot to the middle on one tie (doesn't show as it 'lands' where the bow ties, and I have 'invisibly' mended it). The set has never been laundered and is vibrant, crisp and perfect ... so hard to find this set much like it came with her so many decades ago. I added a lovely pair of blue crochet booties.
As you get Baby ready for story time and cuddles, she will wear her original classic flannel Dr. Denton style print pajamas and cuddle with her DY-DEE blue embroidered 'blankie' and soothe with her original pacifier.
GREAT doll and her clothing, ready to come home and begin her new life.
