DollLove Baby Love (1/6 Dolls) discusion part 1

[MENTION=53169]mollym[/MENTION] thank you very much!! I'm so delighted with her, she really is cute in her sailor-themed fullset

Haha, oh, I know. I don't mind, I think a part of me WANTS to be enabled. These adorable dollies sure are addictive!

 

Picture of my KE in the snow

 

Awe, wow, that is an awesome outfit to wear while playing in the snow. Great photo!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

 

@MissyMagoo Congrats on your first bjd! Yoh looks so sweet in that outfit.

@Isolda13 What a cutie! I love that sweater!

 

Everyone's dolls are so cute!

I can't wait for my girls to arrive!

 

[MENTION=12930]Rabbit-moon[/MENTION] - Did you go with white? I know you were looking at Yoyo, so, which did you pick? Ohhh, I am excited for you too!!! If you find the time, the waiting room is here. What are you doing so far to get ready?

 

Hi mollym! Yes, I did finally go with the white. (I landed up asking Lyndsey at MintonCard what Doll-Love white looks like and she said it was a creamy white.)

And, happy day! My girls got delivered today! Please say 'hello' to Sophie and Ivy. Sophie is a DL Grapefruit in white resin, and Ivy is DL YouYou in pink resin. Sophie's eyes look like black glass. Im really kinda liking those. And Ivy came with lavender glass eyes. They photograph sort of dull, so I'll be replacing them. But, it's nice that DL sent glass eyes instead of acrylic.

Both of these girls are so adorable - I jus love them!

 

[MENTION=12930]Rabbit-moon[/MENTION] - Did you order from MoC? I haven't ordered any dolls from them yet, but other items. They seem very nice. I really like their outfits! I especially like Sophie's Betty Boop top, that is really cute! That's good to know the white is creamy, it looks good! They are adorable, for sure!

 

Thank you, mollym! Yes, I did order the girls from MoC. I've been a customer of theirs for years, and they are very nice.

While I was waiting for the girls to arrive, I had plenty of time to buy them stuff. The Betty Boop top is from Denver Dolls. It's a set and came with the cutest little bloomers and socks.

These little dolls are so cute! Boy! I'm hooked now! All I want to do is get another one. I think I'd love to get a boy, but Im not that fond of DL's boy sculpts. I think maybe Ke would make a nice boy.

How much longer do you have to wait for your girl to arrive?

 

[MENTION=58026]Isolda13[/MENTION] Ahh, I love your little cutie playing in the snow!! Ke has such a gentle-looking sculpt ^_^
[MENTION=67626]plumandplume[/MENTION] thank you very much! I have a weakness for sailor outfits, haha. Waiting for a brighter, non-rainy day to take lots more photos of her.
[MENTION=12930]Rabbit-moon[/MENTION] - omg, cute overload!!! I love your girls, they look adorable together! (btw, quick question, I notice Mint on Card names her as Grapefruit, whereas Alice's Collectons names her as YoYo Style 2. Why is that? Sadly I can't read Chinese so I can't tell what the name on mine's certificate actually says, lol...)

I hope everyone waiting on dollies gets theirs soon. Arrivals are SO exciting ~

 

I decided to buy from an eBay seller. She is my birthday gift to myself. The store is called Milky Queen Doll Castel. I know they spell Castle wrong.... the shop owner told me March 13. However, it looks like it's closer to a 2 month wait according to the waiting room. Maybe I will get lucky and have her next month!
I didn't think I would want a girl at all, but her smile reminds me of my Grandma who died when I was very, very small. She would have liked my dolls. Yiyi is going to be my first girl, and only girl for a long time. I have really enjoyed finding outfits for her. I think yosd girls might be the easiest to dress! There are so many outfits I would love to have for her. It's fun to have a wardrobe for each doll. Yep, I really am enjoying the outfits for her WAY more than I thought I would!
I don't have a daughter and will most likely never have any grandchildren, so she's going to be very spoiled for sure! I am going to check out DDE for other outfits! Thanks!
[MENTION=12930]Rabbit-moon[/MENTION] - Your two are so, so cute. I am looking forward to seeing them from time to time now on!

 

MissyMagoo, thanks for your sweet comments. Your YouYou2 is gorgeous!

About your question, I wish I knew why the Grapefruit doll is called different names by different sellers -it's a mystery to me. I really didn't realize it was the same sculpt until I got them side by side, which is okay because I really love the YouYou sculpt. But, I got Grapefruit from MoC and that is what they called her so that is how I'm going to identify her.

mollym, thanks again for your lovely comments about my girls.

Yes, it took about two months for my girls to arrive. (And that's a short wait for a BJD!). You are definitely going to have a good time dressing and playing with your girl.

It's funny how your doll reminds you of your grandmother. I named Sophie after a friend's mother. Her mother was such a great person, she was just like a mom to me. (And, wicked funny, too!)

I don't know if this will be your "only girl for a long time", these little dolls a very addictive. Once you get one, it's very hard to resist wanting to get another. And, besides, your girl will need a buddy! *wink-wink-nudge-nudge*

 

Aw, thank you [MENTION=12930]Rabbit-moon[/MENTION]! Haha, as a newbie to BJDs it just surprised me to see her being referred to as 2 different names in different places. Is that a common thing that happens to dolls? Because I'm having enough trouble trying to learn all the size names, company names, sculpt names lol! Anyway, Grapefruit is probably a better name for her sculpt. YoYo Style 2 makes her sound like a clone or something, heh.

I can't wait to see photos of your twin girlies in future ~
[MENTION=53169]mollym[/MENTION] oh, YiYi is a wonderful choice, congrats! It's super fun buying yo-SD size outfits, isn't it? There are so many cute options. I haven't seen Pikachu kigurumi for any other doll size...yet, lol!

 

[MENTION=53169]mollym[/MENTION] I waited a year for that photo opportunity because her winter clothes arrived in the spring XD
[MENTION=12930]Rabbit-moon[/MENTION] Your girls are lovely! It's nice seeing the comparison between the pink and the White. I wanted the White skin but my friend that ordered it got me pink -_- I think Ke would be good as a boy as the sculpt isn't as cutesy as some of the others.
[MENTION=68018]MissyMagoo[/MENTION] thanks so much ^^ that's why I liked her, coz she looks so innocent. But if you get her at the wrong angle she does look like she'll murder you haha.

 

@Isolda13 - Yes, I am loving the tiny girl clothes. It is a welcome relief and joy after just trying to dress boys! Boys are so hard to dress if you don't sew! I am loving that winter set! Oh, I am curious now at the angle that makes her look like she'll murder you! Her? Such a sweet little gal? Na, can't be!
@Rabbit-moon - Now that I can see the ws next to pink, I am really liking the white! Hummmm..... now you have me thinking!
All - Please, feel free to spam away while I am waiting!!!
I'm thinking my girl is really gonna have a thing for pandas!

 

[MENTION=53169]mollym[/MENTION] dressing my MSD boys isn't to hard but I think yosd is more difficult yes. I'll try take/find a picture to show you! It's the look she gives me when I tell her she won't be getting any clothes in the next order I make XD

You need to try get some panda shoes! Yuki is wearing some and a panda onesie atm XD it's so cute!

 

I don't know about 1/4 boys. Mine are 68cm, and it's difficult to find casual wear for them. If they were ninjas, pirates, or vampire hunters it might be easier it seems. I'm determined to learn to sew, just so they can have some t shirts and lounge pants!

Yes, next time I let myself shop for dolls, I will probably get her those shoes. She should have a panda beanie on the way any day now. I'm not expecting her for a few more weeks. I'm trying to keep calm and not get too wound up about her coming home! By onesie, do you mean the kirigumi/pajamas? Hummmm, might have to talk to [MENTION=62550]cutiepie[/MENTION] about that! She's working on a bunny one for my Pip.

 

Took Yoh out for a photoshoot today. Full picspam in the gallery section!

 

Yeh, I'm not looking forward to when I eventually get a SD dude. Yes i mean the kirigumi's. I got it in an accessories shop, was for a phone case thing XD.

 

Well, I did just go and buy a new sewing machine. It's so pretty. I plugged it in and tried the peddle, it's so intimidating! It's only a beginners' model but it does so much stuff! I have a really old one from 1950's but it has always been a struggle trying to use it. I know I should just get the new one out and just try something as a first step, but I basically want my mom to come over and hold my hand! So, I am trying to build up courage after 20+ years of trying to learn to sew and failing....... if there were a god of sewing, I would ask for courage, lol!

Yes! I saw those phone cases on the inter-webs but those shops, Claire's, are in the US too but didn't carry those phone cases. It's always a lot of fun finding things and re purposing them for your dollies. I am starting to keep a look out! My son and I found a few cute party favors at a party store that are doll size, so that was fun! I didn't get the panda shoes yet, but I did buy her a panda purse that should be here in a couple weeks I would guess. The estimated date for her was the 15th and I'm getting very anxious but not as much as my first doll!

Keep the dolly spam coming! It really makes my day to see a new photo!!!
