Doll Chateau - Adult Dolls - Part 2

@Dolleve : here it is ! Doll Chateau Youth Dolls Part 2

 

dc youth part 2

 

I can't wait! I could get a shipping notice for my DC Cyril any day now. 10 weeks has passed and I'm super hyped! I got him on the A-body-04 and will be removing the extra wrist and ankle parts.

If anyone has images of Cyril or the body - with or without the extra parts - I'd love to see!

 

Congratulations! I hope he flies home to you quickly and safely!

I have Mephisto on the -03 body, I think... if that helps? And a little bit of a comparison with Soom old SuperGem body on the left, and MegaGem on the right...

@aernath I certainly hope so! Though I am sceptical, since ordering through a dealer... though at the very least I can be sure that it doesn't get stuck at customs on my end. And if anyhting is wrong, things are easier to sort through!

Thank you for the picture! It does help a bit. It's great to see more photos of the body about, and your dolls are gorgeous too. How do you find the poseability of the finders being? Do they tend to find natural poses easily?

 

They are rather fiddly, and I find I have to pay extra attention to them whenever I dress him ,and for photos. There's always a finger or two going off in some odd direction. But it's also nice to be able to pose them , so it's a trade-off.

 

Is it a characteristic of the Chateau bodies, that they seem so elegantly attenuated? There seems to be a greater stylization with them than with say..Volks. I'm still new to the hobby but I was very struck by how different the Chateau dolls seemed from any other sort. Especially the adult dolls, and the little spider doll? If ever Aubrey Beardsley made a bjd, I think it would be Chateau. Is it easier to find yourself enshelling characters in Chateau dolls? And do you find that the shape of the legs and arms on Chateau dolls alter the fit of stockings, trousers, gloves, and tight sleeves?

 

It is their extra lengthy limbs and skinny bodies that appeal to me. I don't buy girl dolls but I don't like the pear shape of their smaller dolls. Fortunately for me my Thaddeus is on the Dolores body with the intricate embossing or 'tattoo'. He will not wear shirts of any kind and prefers a sarong though he does fit into 70cm pants they are large around the waist, so I sew his clothes.

 

I've got the (sadly) discontinued Adult Girl body and the size mismatch is definitely a challenge. SD13 tops fit just fine, dresses too, so long as they've got fairly full skirts. Her hips are more SID/EDI sized, but the legs are so skinny most pants look ridiculous

 

Yes, it's a characteristic of DC dolls to be long and thin. After years of most dolls looking like Volks' (not putting them down, I have a few myself), Doll Chateau came along and broke the mold, so to speak.
Although DollShes were the first long and thin ones, they weren't quite to the extent that DC are.

 

Does anyone know if a DC adult head will fit a Dollshe body? Specifically the "new" Classic (which seems to be a hair thinner than the old one)?

 

Just sharing Blackstone, my Cyril on A03 body with sculpted neck, face-up and blush by Marlequeen :



More pictures when I'll finish a wig for him.
I also need to find a resin washer to have his head sit higher on the neck. I have removed the neck extension and I like him better like that, but he is a little too low and his head can't move...

I did the same for my Scraps on Y03 body with sculpted neck, but I don't have any fitting resin ring left in my resin parts stash at the moment :/

 

Your Cyril is magnificent @Skimo
I'd love to help @VampireAngel13 but I don't have a DC adult head.
I have this lovely mess on my DC adult body. Thanks to @Kavarr Thaddeus has a new outfit though he wants more skin to show, so we will be working that into the sewing schedule.

Blackstone looks amazing Skimo. I love the face up and the way the neck pieces are painted to look like bone.
I have a adult DC head but no Dollshe body so i'm not a lot of help VampireAngel13. It will depend on what the Dollshe neck size is as the DCs are made for a very slender neck.
So glad to see it fits Thaddeus SteamWitch! I knew only to well he would want to show of more of that body. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I think he needs to show of that gorgeous neck.
I really need to get Shai'tan out for a photo shoot. This is the last pic I took of him when he stole the alpaca wig I had made for another doll.



Look at us all spamming the gorgeous Delores body

 

Do you mean the new 18M Classic body that was introduced with the Arsene head? Sadly, I only have the dollshe pure body and it's neck, at least according to the site, is smaller then the new classic 18M body. 10.5cm vs 12.5cm.

@Kavarr, which head is that?

 

I mean the rereleased old\classic body. I guess the Hound body. But the newer version (as of a couple years ago as opposed to many years ago). The newer release is smaller than the old one. I have the Pure too tho so that would work.

 

Thank you!

I have spent my sunday making him a wig :


It isn't perfect, but I think it was worth it

 

@VampireAngel13 Ah, OK, I know which body you mean now. Yeah, sadly I don't have that one either, and I'm not sure what the difference in neck size is from that one to the old version, or the Pure Body. But I took pictures of my DC Chester on my Pure Body.

Spoiler: Chester head on Dollshe Pure Body

From the front you can almost be tricked into believing it could work.

But this is how the head looked from the side in those front facing pictures.

Unfortunately, the head just perches on top of the neck. Quite a bit of modding would be needed to get the head to fit.

 

Oh thank you so much for these!! Arg I had such high hopes for this but from the side it just looks like it won't work at all. That would be a lot of modding. Boo I really wanted Fergus!! Maybe he'll just have to be a full doll of his own...someday.....

 

After fiddling with him last night, now I kind of wish I had a spare pure body to try modding. Because head to shoulder wise I kind of like the proportions, and I tend to like wider necks on adult male dolls.
