1. 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.

Angel of Dream (AOD) 1/4 size discussion thread Part 2

May 15, 2007

    1. Hey, I've got a clothing question too. I'm ordering a couple of 1/4 medium bust girl bodies for my floating heads, and I want to make them clothes before their bodies arrive. Are there any free patterns online that fit them that I should know about? What body type (Slim MSDs, etc) of clothing will they fit? I think I'm finding enough measurements online, but there is a surprising lack of patterns, free and not.
       
    2. Does anyone have a nude pics of the 'new' boy body?
      The last time I ordered a doll from them (or only a body in that case) there was still the old muscular body avaible. Now there is only one body and I fear it might be not... fit the image of male character I have in mind.
      So if anyone could share pics of what the body really looks like (cause a WHITE body is SUCH a good reference pic -.-), I'd be quite grateful <3
       
    3. I haven't found much in the way of patterns unfortunately.... just testing and trying to piece things together on my own. Though Slim msd clothes have a good chance of being too small. AOD busts are comparable in size to Luts and Iplehouse. I've been tempted to make a dress form for my girl, and i honestly think that might be the best way to go for them. ^^
       
    4. Sorry for double posting... but really wanted to share this picture of Lucien and Roxanna. Took them outside to take a picture. Unfortunately it was too windy to take any more than this one :/ Wind kept knocking them over...

    6. Solitary, your Robin is so cute! I love the difference in his jawline since you've modded him. I started modding a Chi, but I had to put it down for a while because it frustrated me, lol.

      Iron_Dog, I really love those wings. Your dolls always have such a creative look about them. That's a really tender photo. Thanks for sharing. :)

      Aira, sorry to hear about your problem with clothing. I don't have a female body, but it does look much slimmer than my DK girl. I would bet shirts for slim minis would fit really well, but AoD ladies are pretty tall, so pants may be an issue. I just adore your girl's face-up. She's beautiful and her wig looks great on her.

      Mysterious, again, I love your Roxanna. Her outfit is so cute too. Where did you get her shoes from. Shang Nai is on my wishlist now, but it'll likely be months before I can entertain the idea of ordering her. :)

      BykaShka, Lisbeth is stunning. Did you do her face-up?

      I snapped a shot of Silas today and thought I would share. (Chen)

    7. Wow, how did I miss this post? SO happy to see you got some use of some of the items I sent you :) And her hat is super adorable too! hehe :)
      I really like Lucien's outfit too, it definitely works

      They both look wonderful!
       
    8. BykaShka your girl is gorgeous! I love her look, she's so gentle looking. ^_^

      Aira that is such a pretty picture! Your girl looks so good with all those blossoms.

      Maxtastic awww thank you so much. ^^ She is for sure one of my favorites. (shhhh.... don't tell the others.) I fell in love with her sculpt immediately. haha. I got her shoes off of ebay from the seller samaetaetaki. Thanks for sharing another picture of your boy! I really like his pose.

      Asyris: haha. Me too. ^_^ I just wish the weather would shape up around here so I can take more pictures of them!
       
    9. Maxtastic, Mysteriousmage, thank you :3
      Moar stupid questions, this time about jointed hands. I searched all day long, but there's no actual skintone match info for aod. I found a external link to biiiiiiig skinton comparison table somewhere at photoreference section some time ago, but lost it :(
      There's three choises now, Dikadoll, DollFamily and Illusion spirit, so, well, does anyone have any info about color/wrist compatibility? My girl is normal-pink.
       
    10. Aira, if your doll was any other color but NP, I could tell you exactly which would match better, but sadly I only own one NP doll from Dikadoll and the rest are either NY or white from the other companies so it's really tough to compare. Looks to me from company photos that Dikadoll may be a good match. Illusion Spirit and Doll Family are apparently using the same resin now (?) so either one of those will be same color. If the match is off, you could always blush them or do what I do and add bracelets to kind of hide the joint and make the illusion that the hands match. You shouldn't have any problems with the wrist pieces fitting.

      Mysteriousmage, thank you! I was having a bit of trouble with Silas being a little floppy, even after restringing him, so I hot-glue sueded him and wired his arms and now he poses like an absolute dream. If you have a chance, would you feel up to taking some closeups of your Roxanna? I'm in love with her lips and I was wondering if you could see her teeth or if I'd be able to paint/mod them to look like her lips are slightly parted.
       
    11. Aira: i'm not sure what to tell you on the jointed hands thing. I know that WS aod matches with Dollzone. Asyris has an AOD head on a DZ body. I can't vouch for the NP though. :/

      Maxtastic: Yea i've been having the same issues with Roxanna. Though it's mostly in her legs. Probably going to have to try and sued her legs and see how that goes. :/ Here is a picture for you, please ignore her lip chip. I just noticed it now when I went to take a picture for you. I'm super upset about it. I think it just happened today though.... I packed up all my dolls to take to my parent's house to take pictures, but the weather turned out to be crappy. I think Lucien's boot must have rubbed up against her face. I thought I had packed them better. :(
      Her teeth I don't think are that noticeable, unless you take pictures like this.

    12. Mysteriousmage, that's perfect! I'm so excited now. She'd just gorgeous. I'm sorry about the chip though! I worry about that every time I leave the house with one of my dolls and so far it hasn't happened.
       
    13. Maxtastic: I'm glad I could help! Her sculpt is really wonderful. :) I know.... This was only the second time i've taken her out too. :/ Just going to have to be more careful.
       
    14. I hope you're able to repair the chip, Myseriousmage, though it's not extremely noticeable in photos.

      Oh, but on the subject of skin tone comparisons, does anyone know if AoD matches Dream of Doll normal skin at all? I have a body that needs a head. :)
       
    15. Aira Thank you ^^
      Thank you a lot. Yep I made her face-up and some modifications with face :3
      MysteriousmageThank you :3
       
    16. I got some new eyes from a GO on here from Ersa Flora. So in love with these eyes!
      [​IMG][​IMG]
       
    17. I absolutely love how green eyes and wine-red wig look together!
      Meanwhile, I tried some 16 mm makoeyes for Rika, and she also has a hime cut now, tho it's not clearly visible in this particular photo :)

    18. I'm just gonna float on casually in to this conversation~~
      I have two AOD boys :3 since we're talking about eyes, I thought I'd show you my Mycha [Yo]. I got his eyes from a doll shop on eBay and I love them so much. I thought I'd share :3
