Awesome vintage original Effanbee romper from a Dy-Dee Lou layette trunk.
 
SUPER RARE!
 
This is a vintage romper and bonnet set for your 20" Dy-Dee Lou baby doll from the 1930s. I received this beautiful set years ago in my Dy-Dee collecting. I was never certain it was original Dy-Dee, as its design is so remarkable compared to documented clothing in Barbara Hilliker's Dy-Dee book. But this is not the first time I have found original Dy-Dee clothes that are unique, and can only attribute this to perhaps a special FAO Schwarz edition.
 
I revived my thoughts on this set when I received a 20" Dy-Dee Lou with a pretty strawberry blond caracul wig -- a true rarity in and of itself if you have studied Dy-Dee well -- who came in her original pink dress and bonnet in the exact 'style' of this romper... both have a rather interesting fold back to the wide hat brim next to the ribbon ties; the very 'blousy' puff sleeves; polished cotton fabric, and similar lace trim. The buttons on this blue romper are certainly 'Dy-Dee'.
 
What a rare and special set for your early Dy-Dee Lou baby. It's in minty condition and I don't believe it was ever laundered all these years. Nonetheless, it is clean and bright with no fading to the pretty blue fabric; there are a couple of small breaks in the lace, and a little mark at the back down near the bottom... I'm certain it would wash out with gentle care, but I wanted to keep it as received.
