Big BB Discussion(All Companies)

Lucky! And congratulations!

 

Thank you for the comments on my girl

@stellarphenomena - This is actually the Gem of Doll default face up for her. I wanted it to have a bit more color, particularly in the lips, which is why I want it redone xD But perhaps it is to your specific tastes, as it did turn out much more natural than their promo photos seemed to show.

 

Thank you, I ended up ordering Edie and Ines from Angelesque as I am in the UK, I also got 20% discount! These two dolls are my grails, I really wanted to keep them together as they look so good together. The order has now been placed with Gem of Doll and is in production.

 

wherethelilacsbloom: What sculpt is your girl? So pretty.I can see where you'd be disappointed with the faceup, but you're right - it's why I never really considered getting one, I like minimal paint. Considering getting Lilia (Yosd). Also think Katyusha is gorgeous.

 

She is their Miroro sculpt.

Much GEM of dolls talk in this tread. Nice!
Does anyone know how long the waiting time is for these dolls?
I just ordered a Mococo girl and hope she will be home soon *happy*

 

Trullerie: Great!! I have no idea. My first time too.

 

Wish I could help, but I ordered my Gem of Doll girl early last year. I have another on order now, but it's only been about a month.

 

I asked Alice from Alice's Collections and she said 2-5 months for Gem of Doll. Edie and Ines will be my first Gem of Dolls.

Got my Myou pear body yesterday and redid the Dollfamily head for skin tone match.

Still not sure if I am naming the doll Galaxy or Andromeda.

 

@zekarmisama So cute! You did a great job matching the skin tone. I love space-themed names in general, but my vote is for Andromeda.

Here's my MYou Matcha (Ren) during the snowfall we had last month:

That moment when you look at a doll and know you need it in your life, and then find out it's already a sculpt you have. They are adorable!

 

Is there another common BJD type out there that one could compare the measurements of a BB to, like a DDS or something? I love my BB, but she is so hard to shop for, especially when I’m looking for Lolita clothes! Looking for Disney Animator clothes doesn’t yield very many results in that department, and just buying clothes that are generically labeled as “1/4” is kind of a gamble. Obviously I look for clothing that doesn’t appear to have much of a defined shape to it, but even then, it can be hit-and-miss. The only reason that she has a school uniform is because I bought one for my normal MSD, and then saw that it was rather loose on her and found that it was actually a better fit for my BB, but the others are just a shot in the dark if going by photos. Finding shoes is almost impossible, which is why she only has one pair. In fact, Animators’ clothes tend to be slightly too big for her, as both her panties and one pair of shoes are a little loose. Not about to fall off or anything, but not quite as snug as I’d like.

Also, I really want to do a short kimono/ninja type outfit for her, just because she has an energetic personality. She’s the one who would be turning cartwheels in the schoolyard, loose skirt or not.

So, am I crazy, or is it possible that our darlings might be able to share clothes with SD-Midis? I’m trying to find a more reliable source of clothing for this size and thought that it might help if I looked back at the original brand.

 

I have a Luts Baby Delf, who is sort of towards the slimmer end of BB sizing. She can (just barely) fit into a Dollheart MSD (aka original Volks MSD sizing) lolita style outfit and she's managed to fit into an Azone 50cm sweater/camisole set as well.

Looks like your Doll Legend might be about .5 cm off a Baby Delf's measurements in the chest and waist. I think you're still mostly going by trial and error, as even with 1/4 size clothing is not always specified whether it is for a slim MSD or for a less mature MSD. Volks sizing ought to be more consistent though.

Note that Volks DearSD (their BB size) is actually much wider and more likely to wear modified SD clothing than MSD stuff.

 

Thanks for creating this thread! I love this style but I have yet to own one I love all the photos people are posting!!

 

Volks is actually really weird though. Like, some of their outfits are listed as being able to fit like, 5 different types of dolls.

 

Yeah, even though SDC and MDD are technically slimmer, I think Volks figures most things work throughout their lines (which might be technically true, just doesn't account for a tailored fit). To be safest, I'd only look at clothes via the MSD tag on Volks' webshop & then still know you're better off with a knit or oversized looking outfit.

 

The MSD and SDM tags are two different tags.

 

Yes, Volks "SD Midi" is the newer body, Volks MSD is the original. There might be small size differences, so if you check the wiki here, it might have the specific measurements to check against.
