Hi, I am enjoying this thread although I do not have a Mini Soom Gem doll. It is something I could consider in the future. Aren is very lovely and I adore that they are the Barbie size to fit in those clothes and settings.
What matters is you were brave enough to try. I have untold projects in holding patterns because I'm afraid I'll fail. Wigs are easy to find - here and on eBay. That's one of the things I love about BJDs, change the wig, change the doll! Yup, you need an Aren. I think one of the best thing about Vande is now I have a use for ALL of those barbie clothes! (minus the Day-Glo ones from the 80's!)
Just a reminder! If you have an Aren or just want to ogle them, visit the Aren database: Soom Little angel Aren
A few things I bought for Vadne arrived today: a Madame Alexander Coquette outfit called "Casual Cool", a pair of red, high top, lace-up boots and a pair of black loafers. Casual Cool: the outfit consists of dark blue denim pants (possibly Capri's' on the MA doll), a beautiful little LS red jacket and a GORGEOUS beaded corset top. (Note: I bought this outfit from The Doll Market for $12.97 + $8.oo shipping = $20.97) The pants wouldn't fit up Vadne's legs. TOO small! The sleeves were too short on the jacket and it wouldn't close in the front. The corset however may just be worth the $21.oo I paid! It looks wonderful on Vadne's little frame. I had to lace it a bit oddly because I wanted it tighter on her, but it works! Red boots: I bought these by mistake. I hit BIN too fast! Admittedly they are too big. But they don't look that bad. I see these with a leather skirt or jeans! Black loafers: These were listed as being the same size as boots I'd bought previously from the seller Jr Toys House on eBay. I was pretty excited about these. and they DID look good. But I felt they were too tight to get on and off. I don't like having to pry shoes off and almost pull the foot off with it. I'll try the Soom/Luts one next GO I get in on. Bright side - Sookie my new Lucy has a great new pair of black loafers!
YAY! Can't wait for those first pics! Um..and if you decide you don't like her default wig? Lemme know. I'd like to buy another as Sookie made off with Vadne's!
congratulations on your aren! they really are beautiful, I nearly opted for your version when I got mine. is yours normal skin? I love the outfit she comes with.
Talis, which Aren is this - is she You Must Love Me? I love how her little teeth show! Her mouth is really nicely done. Such a cute girl - the YMLM's remind me of Ginger on Gilligan's Island.
She's adorable - I love her mouth and her eyebrows - she looks a little unsure about things, and is totally charming! Love her blushy cheeks...
Eyelashes are such a pain to put on! I hold my breath the entire time, and end up lightheaded! Here's Miranda, to say hello...
