Bleuette is a Parisian fashion doll used as a tool to teach young ladies proper social etiquette. It was produced between 1905 and 1960. The Bleuette doll appeared in association with the publication of La Semaine de Suzette. The doll was a premium distributed to girls along with the magazine subscription.

The standard Bleuette doll runs 27 to 29 centimeters tall with a jointed body. Each has four front teeth, with the exception of doll SFBJ 251, which has only two front teeth. There were originally 20,000 Bleuette dolls produced and over 60,000 girls requested dolls with new subscriptions. The demand was so high that the doll sold out long before most girls filled out a subscription request.

Bisque dolls are very delicate and Bleuette is no exception. Bisque refers to the unglazed porcelain used to make the head of the doll. The material was thought to have a more realistic color tone and feel. Bisque dolls are breakable, which meant that children had to be very careful when playing with the Bleuette doll. Perhaps this was part of the lesson that Bleuette was intended to teach young girls about good behavior.

Bleuette dolls are now cherished as a part of valuable doll collections. They are sold in online auctions and at trade shows. Careful consideration must be put into the shipping of a Bleuette doll because they are so delicate. Shipping insurance is a must when mail ordering any bisque doll. A reputable seller will offer shipping insurance and outline his or her shipping procedures in detail. It's crucial to pay close attention to these details before committing to purchase a Bleuette.
