It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

Esthetizing refers to the general finishing and beautification of a doll. Most people refer to seam removal (sanding) as esthetizing, but it may also refer to separating fingers and toes by gently removing the resin between the digits.
Many people consider seams unsightly and will remove seam lines all BJD have. Some companies may sand their dolls before shipping them out to buyers, while others leave this to you. Esthetizing/sanding is done mainly for aesthetic reasons as it creates a smooth, seamless, and often more professional and realistic look to your doll. Some owners prefer not to sand as the seams do not bother them. It is important to removed though, if you do choose to sand remember the following:
- Wear a mask or some form of ventilation unit
- Sand in a well ventilated area
The resin used to make BJD is highly dangerous and should not be breathed in as it will settle in your lungs and is unable to degrade. Sanding underwater can help reduce the amount of dust in the air as you sand.
