The first Señorita Lily doll made by Lili Ledy was made in 1967. She has exactly the same body and head mold as the original American character dolls but different face paint. The first doll has black eyeliner, no eyelashes and blue shadow. She has growing hair, eyes looking to the right, and straight legs. She also has the same key as American character Tressy dolls to make her hair grow.

She is marked Lili on the back of her head. Only two hair colours, blonde and dark brown have been found to date. Her original outfit is a pink swim suit with a white net over top. 

The second version of  Señorita Lili made in 1973 has bend legs that click and look like Mattel's TNT 1969 legs. She was made from the same body, arms and head mold but with different face paint than the first Señorita Lili doll, her eyes are now looking straight forward and she has seven painted eyelashes on the top and four painted eyelashes on the bottom of each eye.
