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.

    1. If you like the look of the wigs Dale uses on her dolls, this is where she purchases. http://www.facetsbymarcia.com/wigshop89.htm

      Nanette, at the beginning of this thread, you said you went to the approval process for Tessa. Was she considered an off-topic doll? And could you direct me to the area of the Wiki where it told you what to do? I'd like to read it.

      Thanks,
      Belinda

    2. Oh thank you so much elfstone! I will save this link to my favorites! :) Do you know where she gets her lovely wispy looking mohair wigs that she uses on her DT girls? I love looking at her flickr pictures!

    3. I also asked if Tessa was on-topic now that the rules have changed and Idrisfyn just replied to my message that Tessa is allowed now. I think individual dolls are approved on an individual basis now; I couldn't find anything about Tessa in the Wiki when I looked.

      Here is Helen in her new wig. I just love this doll and she poses like a dream.

    4. Jakayd, I believe you're talking about the Monique Gold wig called Jrock. Its crimped and looks really cool on the DT girls.

      Belinda

      Oh, I forgot, Dale does make some of her own wigs...the mohair ones anyway.

    5. So pretty! That wig really goes with her!

      Oh darn. I wonder if she sales them. They are so gorgeous!
       
      #25 jakayd, Mar 20, 2013
    6. Hi jakayd! I'm thinking she doesn't sell them unless its with a full set doll.

      Belinda

      linakuano - The wig you have on your Tessa looks really nice. Like it was made for her.


      One thing I wanted to ask everyone; do you sew for your Tessa or purchase clothes? If you do purchase, what sizes are we looking at getting? Dale mentioned that Nine9style jeans (SD17) fit Tessa but are just a touch long.

      Belinda

    7. I can't sew to save my life so I buy clothes for my girl. I just bought two SD17 jeans from Nine9style last week. I am waiting for them to arrive hopefully next week sometime. She wears SD13 shoes. She can also wear stretchy SD13 tops. I think she is in between SD13 and SD16 depending on how they run.

      Darn about Dale not selling her wigs. Oh well, at least I got a Tessa doll. lol

    8. I sew some and buy others. Tessa is slightly bigger than my other big girl dolls and the structured clothes (corsets, slim skirts) I have for SD13 sized dolls are too small for her. If I were buying something for her, I would probably buy a size that would fit the Iplehouse SID dolls.
       
      #28 linakauno, Mar 20, 2013
    9. SD13 hmmmm, I'm going to be doing a bit of both I think. I also ordered the Nine9style jeans and I think they might arrive today! Got 2 jrock wigs on the way too; soft red and the pale blond. I'll have to make a couple of tee shirts and she should be good to go for a bit.

      Belinda:)

    10. WOW! didnt know you could post Tessa here when I asked the Mods about posting photos of her I was told I could not.. hmmm maybe something has changed.
       
      #30 shaDrouet, Mar 21, 2013
    11. Do you have any pictures of your lovely Tessa to share? :)

    13. She looks fantastic!
       
      #33 jakayd, Apr 14, 2013
    14. Thank you jakayd! I just finished a new tee and am almost finished with a linen jean jacket. I'm just waiting for the buttons I ordered to arrive. I'll post pictures when its complete.

      Belinda

      I was just playing around with light when I took this photo. But here is my Tessa with a new tee shirt and linen jean jacket I just finished making last night. It's completely lined, embroidered, 2mm sequins applied and even has a tiny hanging chain on the inside neckline. Tessa loves how it turned out!
      Belinda :D

    15. Hi all, I've been reading through the posts and looking at all the lovely girls. I have 2 Tessa's, my first one I purchased as a full set and my second one I purchased blank. Here is a picture of both of mine together, the one on the left was painted by Dale and the one on the right was painted by me.

      I make all my own clothes for all my dolls. Both Tessa's are wearing handmade dress.

    17. Oh oh she is so lovely! Love her new jacket and the rose on her t-shirt that is peeking out. I would love to share pictures of my girl but I can't figure out how to upload pictures here. I've never posted pictures on DoA before.
       
      #37 jakayd, Apr 30, 2013
    18. Thank you Jakayd! Your cinnamon Tessa is beautiful! And I see all ready for summer! The weather can't decide what it is here. :o

      Here's another picture of my Seasky Tessa with her hair pulled back. We're playing with hair styles.
