Affordable MSD-size clothing/wigs?

do you guys have Friends to be made or Build a Bears? They have nice stuff that I thought was really reasonable (less than $20 for complete outfits, separates for as little as $4-8). If not, I can't be of much help.

 

the marketplace is your best bet. You could commission something from a seamstress there.

There's build-a-bear like Javaquis said. Teen Trends dolls are good for MSD girls but alas there aren't any boy clothes that I could find. Believe me, I've looked. *sigh*

The marketplace... once you get access to it or in the mean time look at people's signatures. Many people advertise their services there. You could always PM them if you can't see their thread in the marketplace. I could make you something if you'd like for a reasonable price. Do you have anything in particular in mind?

 

Hi I moved this thread size specific mini dolls discussion since you would probably get more responses there

 

i am planning on ordering from doll more on the 28th of this month and i will quite probably make a group order for the uk (to save on postage) they are the best ways to save on the postage. and dollmore is a reasonable priced place. www.dollmore.com but the postage is £15 ish to the uk from there

 

you can find wigs and shoes by dollzone on junky spot site (http://www.junkyspot.com/obindex.html) but there are also a lot of good offers on the market place^^

I like very much nightfall products too: http://nightfallwalker.web.fc2.com/frame.htm and many others!
I usually also check ebay auctions and shops writing 'msd dollfie', '7-8 wig' or '16 mm eyes' in the search.

 

Clothes, shoes - F2BM, dollmore, ebay or the marketplace once you gain access to it
wigs- depends if you want fiber or fur

 

Unfortunately, when you get a male mini you don't get to take advantage of most of the cheap stuff around. Most inexpensive stuff is made for commercial vinyl and cloth dolls which are almost all female in the 16-17 inch range.


Shoes - Juju's Dolly Mall has inexpensive girl BJD shoes in 2 sizes plus a custom shaped shoe for Sharmin (those are in the same category as 58 MSD shoes, but separate listings).

Kemper Dolls also has some less expensive shoes - not sure about boy shoes though.

Cheap wigs are Faux Fur wigs. Kemper occasionally has a regular wig on sale but usually not in the size you want, but Kemper's own wigs can be less expensive than the usual BJD wigs.

Friends2BMade "Friends" clothing does have a Boys section and also some sports clothes in season. The slacks sometimes fit minis with the shortest legs and smaller hips. Fit varies - find the friends2bmade thread and on DoA search the thread for database to find a link to the fairly new database of fit.

Teen Trends clothes (female again) fit a number of slim mature minis though slacks may be too tight. The shoes fit the smaller mini feet (Unoa for example).

Narae's slim 55mm foot will fit in many Crissy shoes.

The slimmest female minis can wear some Tonner Tyler stuff, some Franklin Mint, some Ellowyne Wilde, maybe some Gene. (though I think not slacks).

The slimmest males can sometimes fit in Tonner Matt clothing (Narin can wear Matt's suit). Narae can also wear the slacks.

Is there a place that sells reasonably priced msd creepers (shoes)?

 

I looked up what creeper shoes were, and I would say no cheap ones, and maybe not anything exactly like that. Try looking at M size boy shoes at Leekeworld (not sure which mini boys Leeke would fit).

I see some on Ebay but only SD13 size from Jpopdolls

Build a Bear will not fit- Friends 2 B Made (their people dolls) are the ones whose clothes fit MSD sized dolls. The bears are much larger and a totally different shape.

 

Many physical Build-A-Bear stores also carry some Friends2BMade "Friends" clothes (and note - the "Sweethearts" clothes are for chubby toddler rag dolls and won't fit MSD. Only the Friends clothes may fit). And apparently some stores don't mind you bringing your BJD in to try thing on.

Read some of the gigantic Friends2BMade thread. Most recent clothes would be closer to the end of the thread.

Here I posted the links to the thread, the database or people's fit reports, the store, and general fit comments:

MimiWoo has MSD creepers on eBay. Her prices are reasonable. Watch out for her shipping prices since she does not combine well.

Her stock seems low right now. These are a little loud but keep checking. In fact, you might ask her. Her English is good.

Good luck with your shopping- they do indeed have some very cute clothing (I have a whole bunch of F2BM stuff for my mini girl) and apparently sometimes the physical stores have things that aren't listed on the website.

 

Actually, minis up to actual Volks MSD can wear Matt O'Neill (from the Tonner line) clothing. I tried a suit on an MSD at a meet, and it worked well enough.
The shirt cuffs often won't fasten over the bjd wrists, and shirts and jackets are a little too tall through the shoulders.

But several of my boy dolls, and not the skinniest, wear Matt O'Neill clothing when they need to be in a suit.
Now, if only I could convince them also to wear proper shoes with a suit, and not their sneakers!

Not, however, likely to be local in the UK, or cheap, either.

 

I found a three-pack of Groovy Girls t-shirts at Tuesday Morning for $1.99. I have a 16-17 inch tall bjd and they fit her-- all the shirts are a little too short-- but lots of bjd's wear them short-- they show the midriff One of the little shirts has straps that will need to be adjusted to go over the shoulders if your msd has kind of big shoulders (mine does).

As far as Tuesday Morning goes, they seem to be all out of the Teen Trends doll clothes which I have been buying in bulk for my MSD. The Groovy Girls clothes look like they would fit, but not necessarily fit well and some of the clothes are kind of goofy and would need serious modification. However, they have these soft bodied dolls by Gund (Gund Girls or something?) and while I have not seen these dolls' clothing sold separately, I highly suspect that their outfits would fit MSD. Of course, you have to find something to do with the naked doll after you buy her and take all her clothes away (I've been donating mine to a local children's hospital).

Also, I saw a Tyler fashion doll who could be bought and stripped of her clothing-- at a somewhat higher price-- around $30. I didn't like the outfit enough.

 

Narae in some clothes from a 12-inch doll (the doll is very muscled up top like an action figure) - her slacks are her own but everything on top is from the 12-inch doll:
