Tressy

Tressy is a fashion doll created by the French toy company Famosa in 1969. She was notable for her long, brushable hair that could be extended and retracted using a key hidden in her back. This feature allowed children to style Tressy's hair in various ways, adding a unique interactive element to play.

The doll was designed with a slender, adult-like figure, appealing to a slightly older demographic than some other dolls of the era. Tressy came with a variety of outfits and accessories, reflecting the fashion trends of the late 1960s and 1970s. Her popularity led to international distribution, with versions of the doll appearing in markets beyond France.

Over the years, Tressy has seen several revivals and re-releases, often with updated clothing and features. Despite changes, the core concept of her extendable hair has remained a defining characteristic. Tressy is remembered as an iconic doll of her time, appreciated for her innovative design and the creative play opportunities she offered.
