Blue Fairy Pocket Fairy Discussion part 2

So where are some of your favorite shops? Betty would love some new threads!

 

Thank you

Betty is so cute! I love her wig. Did you get it that way or did you take her to the hair dresser

 

It was a stock wig on a Little Ai (from the people who make pullip) I trimmed it and it flipped out perfectly

 

Finally joining in on the Pocket Fairy thread I am waiting for a Didi on the Sister body since October now, and she will probably ship out at the end of the month. Anyone else here who has the sister/brother body? I am so curious for it! I will certainly do a review.
Now I have a question for Didi owners, what eye size do you use for her/him? On the Bluefairy site I can only find generic eye size for pocket fairy, 8-10mm. I'm guessing with the narrow eyes 8mm would be better, but I might even try 6mm, don't know how big the eyes are, if there will be gapping?

 

I can't wait to see your Didi on the sister body! All of my PF's, including my two Didi's, have 8mm eyes.

 

This is the first time seeing these wonderful little ones. I need to see more!

 

I buy from etsy and look for 'ruruko' doll clothing as they seem to be the closest match. Not everything will work though so you have to be careful. My girls wear the sleeveless dresses by Kosucus on etsy.

@midolls*melissa They look so adorable! ❤ Thank you, I found some 8mm eyes on etsy with a small iris, so going to give them a try

 

Thanks for all the clothing suggestions! Are those for the sugar/pepper bodies?

I'm battling to find shoes for my Pocket Fairy (the smaller original type). The puki shoes I've tried are too small, and the pukifee/Lati yellow shoes are too big. Does anyone know where I could find shoes?

 

Keri, if you don't mind plastic shoes, DecoNiki (from Petworks) are not bad. They fit well (but only original pocket size, too small for sugar), have a lot of colors (past releases are mostly sold out though, can be found on ebay at insane price ) and new ones are still being released.
Here's example of some of mine:

 

yes, those are the sugar and pepper bodies on my Yoko and Jimmy. not sure about the shoes other than Blue fairy PF shoes some older styles of which are super tight on the sugar and pepper feet

 

I am thinking of ordering some long overdue stuff for my little Yoko but I have never ordered from the BF website.

Do they send you a PayPal invoice or do you have to just send them the money? The ordering process isn't all that clear on their site.

Any info on this is appreciated

 

I went to Bluefairyinternational site to check my order history to see if it would jog my memory some. I haven't ordered from their ordering system since 2014! that being said I have ordered several ways, directly through their ordering system, by emailing them directly, and when they had their agent selling on facebook. I was able to pay through their ordering system with paypal or with credit card but for some reason I could not use my paypal credit and I think it is why for some orders I used credit card instead of paypal. and I remember always telling them in their q&a section that I made my payment and they would respond that they received it. I don't know if any of this helps or not, it's all I could remember

 

@spensers_mom I have very recently made a couple of purchases through Bluefairy, and I had to send the money through paypal myself, just put the order number in your transaction. I haven't had to contact Bluefairy about it, and always got a conformation within a day

So, my Didi (and SF Andy) shipped! Can't wait!!

 

Thanks for the advice everyone!

 

Adorable!

That picture is lovely. Her outfit is darling.

 

Does anyone have advice for tightening PF elastics??? I've got a few original body PFs and one Pepper body who are SOOOO loosely strung that trying to even put clothes on them makes me scream. They're just so little, though, that I'm worried about snapping the strings that hold their hands/feet on. It's hard enough to put their wigs on, but when they flop and kick like that... aaaah!!!

 

I am having the same problem with my Pocketfairy Sugar and Pepper bodies. To be fair, I've had most of the them for quite a few years now, and elastic does degrade. Oh boy though is it frustrating to change their clothes and they definitely won't hold any pose no matter what I do. Constantly squirming, kicking and flailing around lol. I did try wiring them but I didn't like how stiff they appeared in photos so I took it all back out. Now they are in doll stands in my doll cabinet and I haven't done anything thing with them in a long while. I should probably start restring them. I don't look forward to doing it. Maybe some rainy day far, far in the future lol. I've probably posted this pic before but way too many to restring!

(Did DOA just... stop alerting us?? Your reply is a month ago and i never saw it!)

Aaaah your crew is just too cute!!! Did you make all those tiny pajamas? Would you be willing to post slopers if you did?

And has anyone had luck with Monique 4" wigs?? I'm looking for a few more hairstyles than Blue Fairy has to offer...
