Love the wig. Where did you get it? She's just amazingly lovely and is a good work companion. Thank you, Basia. I should have known as it looks like LW all over it. Lovely doll, isn't she? I adore my two.
I got the wig from Denver Doll Emporium. It's a special limited Leeke Wig. I convinced my friend to buy an Alexia too! Hers just arrived yesterday. They are so sweet in person, she was easily won over.
Gorgeous wig, love the colour. Luckyl I made the dress and wig but bought the cardigan and a friend gave me the bear.
Hi. Just checking to see if anyone has found clothing for Alexia? I am working on a basic pattern for her so I can sew her some more clothes, but doesn't seem to be much out there.
I found a few etsy and ebay sellers that have some patterns and clothing for Alexia/Kaye Wiggs MSD size dolls, like this one for example: https://www.etsy.com/listing/216428564/ruffles-in-blue-fits-dollmore-alexia?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=dollmore+alexia&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery I have also found some random things identified as made for SD10 size dolls from various sellers around that have worked out. I wish Dollmore would offer more of the lovely limited style outfits they offer with some of their limited Alexia's, but realize that is what makes people shell out over 600.00 for them. Even if they would offer just a few new outfits that are different versions of the limited outifts that would be great. Has anyone noticed the new limited Alexia "Minute Handwriting"? The outfit and face-up/styling is really gorgeous but the name confuses me since it appears this is an Alice in wonderland inspired doll.
I have had luck with clothes made for the original Kaye Wiggs MSD body as long as they aren't tight in the waist and hips. Gracefaerie Designs (http://www.gracefaerie.com/) also has some Alexia patterns.
I have a 27 inch tall massive suitcase filled with their clothes, none of which I have bought. Wee Wardrobe, Michele Hardy, Happy Dog Designs, Wildflower Designs and others. Also, Dollmore says they'll make anything in their line for her, so I got a wonderful black Narsha dress scaled up. But as to another dress that I asked to be copied, no. Almost everything I have is custom-made, sad to say. Or happy, as they do have a fabulous wardrobe!
It takes perseverance, but I totally agree with both of you that there are good finds out there for Alexia, it just takes some time to find exactly what you are looking for. I didn't know Dollmore would occasionally size up Narsha clothes for Alexia. I wonder why they agreed to one and not the other? Who did you contact about the clothing request? Just through the message board?
I contacted Fabric Friends and Dolls and Iris contacted Dollmore with my request. They made her dress quite quickly....and it was perfect. But why DM does what they do is a mystery to me, :-) The hardest thing to find is shoes..pairs of....but I have managed pretty well.
I think you can ask on the message board for special sizes. Someone on the Banji thread had an outfit sized down. For Banji, they said they couldn't do anything with buttons so it may depend on whether trims are available.
I'm sure you can. I happened to see the outfit that I got on Iris's Alexia and asked for the same. But when I asked for another one, they didn't do it. But I'll try again. Of course, I'd have to get another suitcase!
Good to know. Sounds like it is worth trying. I will share what happens when I decide what I want. I bought my Alexia from DDE. I wonder if having a store seller ask them makes a difference?
I'm not sure. FF&D had the DM account first, so I don't know whether they accommodate her requests first or what. I got most of my two Alexia's things from seamstresses here and there.
As already mentioned by others if you ask on the message board they'll either say yes or no. The reason some things are ok to change and some aren't ...is based on the individual designer, some are against changes in size and some are ok with it, so dollmore have a list of things they can change or have to ask the designers if they can change it or not ^_^
Thank you, ma'am. I have an enormous suitcase with their clothes yet, like Flora McFlimsey of Washington Square, they are always saying that they have nothing to wear. And I believe them!
Hi everyone! I've just bought a 2nd hand Alexia, fullset Gretel. I'm so very excited! Hopefully I have some clothes and shoes that fit her from my other 2 msds and sd13. Her fullset has never been taken out of the bags, so I may just sell it, we'll see.
Congrats! I've her in real life and she's gorgeous. She will fit some clothes, but her shoes are a serious problem. You can get her some that are 69 cm, and those will fit and DM has some too.
Thanks, jenthered! I keep wanting to try making shoes for my kiddles. Maybe this fall. I'm busy with my garden from spring til fall.
I hear you. Sometimes, dolls must wait their turns! Well, yes, she will be. She is one of my favorites. I have one with a faceup by DM and one by Jay Searle and they are sisters, Alix and Irina and they have a huge wardrobe...much more clothes than i have.
