Claudette- Rubinesque Beauty

That sounds like an excuse to post this picture of Claudette with my other big dolls!



From left to right, Soom Cass, Claudette, Limhwa Half-Elf and DollZone Stramonium on Miro's 70cm girl body.

 

love her in that colour - and with lilac hair!

that's such a useful photo thanks! I want the miro 70cm girl body too, so it's great to see them together

 

This is helpful, indeed!

 

Claudette is now available on etsy! 10% off in the January sale! There were 3 dolls on my wishlist, and with limited funds I couldn't afford them all. Claudette has beaten off the competition today and I'm looking forward to sewing for her - although we all know my sewing plans lead to very patient, naked dollies - and I have a feelings ladies socks aren't going to be stretchy enough for my Mavis when I get her LOL

 

thanks chalyss when is your girl due to arrive do you know? I guess there's no waiting room for Claudette - this is it!

men's socks might work for something - she apparently has a bigger bust and hip than the big busted impldoll idol though - she's going to be fun to dress!

 

Omygosh, how have I never seen this doll before?! I'm committed to another doll already;
I wish I'd seen this one first! This is exactly the type of doll I was looking for early last year. I love the idea of the curvy doll - she would be so much fun to sew for!

*sigh*

I will have to keep an eye out for another sale period later this year.

 

You should follow her fb page so you know when the doll's available. I think there was an extra up there a while back, not sure if it's still there or not but it could never hurt.

 

Good idea, thanks!

 

oh she's going to be adorable by the sound of it

 

@DollSewist oh a she's up on etsy! Price is good through January as the cost of making her went up. Just helping to enable you.

 

Thanks, @wrenbe - I'm looking at her, and sighing in regret for my budget...

 

etsy is very enabling! Although I'd wanted her a while, no way I'd have ordered her using facebook as it was too different than my normal shopping habit - I think I hesitated about a nanosecond before buying her on etsy

join ussssssss.....

Claudette is definitely my last bjd though - no really she is - I'd like to have SOME savings left for emergencies - as in 'real life' ones not 'I need that doll!!!' emergencies LOL

 

@elve Yes, ordering through etsy is very nice!! I have to admit I'm a bit more of an ebay buyer thought, I can get cash back for purchases, they have those ebay bucks that can add up, and I get giftcards for them sometimes. Of course I'm always a safe-ebayer. But the back to etsy, lol, the ability to buy through that site definitely helps to "legitimize" the doll and make it more likely that more people will buy her. I have to admit that I haven't yet, simply because I also can't even fathom getting her on my current budget. I'll just have to wait and see if she's still available later or perhaps get her when she eventually pops up on the secondary market. She's just outside my budget right now--and she's a big doll, I told myself I needed to focus on MSD and smaller due to space limitations.

 

well I'm really hoping that the mainstream BJD manufacturers will see that there is a market for dolls with fuller figures, and just as the trend for 'big babies' has caught hold now and all the manufacturers are making at least one sculpt that size, and I now see the trend for anime style BJD is taking hold - so hopefully in about 5 years dolls like Claudette will be more mainstream and available *fingers crossed*

 

Have you guys seen the WIP of her new heads.

Paulette is just so perfect for my doll selfie project.
