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.

    4. Here is my Victorian Tessa.

      What do you think of her eyelashes? I run out of shorter dark brown ones and this was the only pair that i had ( from Dollmore). I think they very long.

      But anyway, she is very pretty and her face up and body blushing are amazing.

    6. Your girl is beautiful! You can trim the eyelashes if you think they're too long. I very often trim eyelashes to get them just right. I use tiny sharp scissors--like embroidery scissors. I'd always rather have too long of eyelashes than too short. :-)

    13. Hi All,
      I am going to try again for posting pictures of Olive Rose
      hope this works@@ https://www.flickr.com/photos/119715356@N06/
      the dress is from the Regency Era based off an evening party hence why no
      sleeves. Outer dress is chiffon and attached under dress is cotton silk with
      French seems on the chiffon to prevent fraying. Back dress has snap closures w/ pink buttons
      on the out side and the dress has a pink ribbon on the waist . I haven't loaded
      the back dress pics yet Sorry I am slow a little! But what do you think so far.
      Oh, also I made the pattern myself a long time ago for my other dolls.

    15. Sharing my Tessa in her new Connie Lowe dress. I named her Helen after Helena Bonham Carter, whom I think she resembles. This tarty and tattered dress is perfect for her, except that I had the devil of a time getting the knitted undershirt on over her big bum. The corset doesn't quite fit on top either, but it's ok from the front. The shoes fit her big feet exactly, though.

    16. She's beautiful in her new duds! What girl doesn't like a new Connie Lowe outfit!

      Belinda
       
    17. You're right she does resemble Helena Bonham Carter and she is very pretty. I like her outfit; it is very keke that means cute in Korea that I visited a long time ago. Anyway I love your doll and her dress.
      Thank you for sharing,

    18. I just finished an Italian Renaissance gown for my Tessa. It consists of an under-gown of white chiffon, beaded around the neckline with hand sewn lace. The over-gown has a plum velvet bodice embroidered with gold metallic thread then beaded with rocailles. The attached skirt is three different fabrics joined together. The sleeve gauntlets are laced with organza ribbon. I love how it turned out! This will be my last big project for a while, sadly. We've just purchased a new home and it needs lots of renovating. That's what I'll be up to for several months. LOL! I'm only allowed one picture in this thread, but if you're interested in seeing more there is an Italian Renaissance Tessa thread in the Gallery.

    19. Wow BEAUTIFUL Belinda. Kinda question ...why can only one picture in this tread be posted? Is this true for all of us? And I still cannot figure out how to up load a pretty picture like yours. Congrats on the new house! If you have time to give me some pointers just PM me. I'll eventually get to them.

    20. Thank you Ameiru!!! Very sweet of you!

      I think the Mods only want you to upload one picture so that not one person will hog the thread? Maybe, kinda, sorta??! LOL. But I've seen in other threads that this is true. I host my pictures on Flickr. You go to the picture you want to copy here, then select the Arrow (which is sharing), then highlight BBCcode, select the size picture from the dropdown, then copy the code in the window. Then you past the code here. I hope that helps you.
