This baby is a dark chocolate brown molded hair near MINT * 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 HIGH COLOR rosy cheeks -- a lovely find.
This is one of my all-time favored dolls in my personal collection... which I am now selling. She is wearing the original and RARE Effanbee Dy-Dee outfit that she came to me in... including her MINT Esmond 'eiderdown' blanket which she is sitting on in my photos. I have never seen this outfit before or since, and can only think it was probably a FAO Schwarz special issue set.
Gorgeous original high color and the most GORGEOUS BIG BROWN EYES!

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 (PRETTY MUCH MINT) and lovely mint rubber body and comes with her pretty ORIGINAL 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 gorgeous head and body. She poses well -- her rubber is in what I call mint condition -- no cracks, no crazing, no dryness, her rubber is soft and supple, and her joints are firm ... just like she came from the store so many decades ago.She has beautiful skin tone -- still firm, pink, and strong.
Her beautiful baby head... Her face is just lovely -- absolutely PERFECTLY FLAWLESS with GORGEOUS SUPER HIGH COLOR, with an open nurser mouth; well defined painted brows and under lashes; and a rosy complexion.
