[MENTION=26432]Ryuichi Sakuma 13[/MENTION] That's horrible to hear! Where on her head is the staining? Is it the head cap or on the main head/face aswell? I soak parts with stains in rubbing alcohol and have had great results. Is there anyway that you could soak the parts stained and avoid getting the soaking solution on her face-up?
dark wigs unfotunetly can possibly stain any doll...that really sucks. I have the same wig that came with my black resin catish girl I'll have to make sure to check my doll that I put the wig on. tracking # from Dollmore doesn't seem to work so I'm just playing the I'll just be surprised when my 2 girls come in game..lol. Of course I'll probably get a lovely slip in my mailbox.
Unfortunately, its in a ring around her head, wherever the wigcap's elastic band sits. I've had this happen before, but never this bad, nor on a LE doll. Usually I wash the wig and use magic eraser on the doll's head, but this time, with her being a LE, having a otherwise really nice wig AND having a limited faceup.... I'm hoping that if I soak the wig in a vinegar mix, it'll get the dye to set. I"m going to do research on what others have done to help/prevent this problem. I'm also going to chronicle this via pics, maybe in the Workshop area of DoA. If I do, I'll link it here so that others can fix/solve this problem should it happen to their LEs. If only it wasn't on Betty Page.... Good luck with your two girls, Kitty Blue! Ryu
Hi. Just thought I'd ask. Catish fits pretty well into MSD top bits, as long as the dress/top doesn't have tight sleeves. Has anyone found a solution for dressing the legs and feet? SD pants, tights and shoes are too big, while her hips are wider and her legs longer than the average MSD.
I only put her in dresses, so I can't say I've had problems with things fitting. I put MSD stockings and bloomers on her with no trouble and all my MSD shoes seem to fit as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yep got the slip in my mailbox Drat. But at least I know they are really close my fiancee will pick them up on Mon so first thing after work I'll be able to open them up so excited. Length on pants can be an issue but I'm sure most stretchy leggings will fit well on the Catish girls..maybe one made for Doll Chateau MSDs since they have long legs as well. For shoes maybe look for slim fits that might fit minifees...I can't remember where I got my heels for my girls..I think they are made for the 22" american model dolls...at least I know the open toed ones work well but the closed toe can be tricky. The others I have are Ready to Rumba shoes also open toed that fit Cissy dolls (6.4mm). I have the flat feet as well but haven't really had a chance to try them on the MSD shoes I have though I do know the few Dollmore shoes I have are too big. Update: My girl arrived! will have to take some better photos but here is a quick pick. Her name is Zhukova after the Russian fashion designer.
Wow [MENTION=50765]Kitty Blue[/MENTION] she is stunning! UK Customs are holding mine at the moment as they've not yet decided how much to extort me by. I'll go watch your box opening video in a mo!
Well, customs did finally release my girl and only with a small charge so I went to collect her on saturday and I am in love! She is absolutely stunning and her default make-up is so much better in real life I've named my girl Ouzel and here she is without her wig, so you can see the lovely blushing in cream and deep pink on her ears (they look like petals).
Congratulations, beatnik! Your Ouzel looks lovely and yes, her ears do look like pretty rose petals - they really did a beautiful job on her!
Thank you [MENTION=20691]Cattwo[/MENTION] , [MENTION=20796]Kattermole[/MENTION] and [MENTION=67135]AlaskanPhoenix[/MENTION] Here's a picture of my Black Lac Reaa (customised face-up) and Pink Fluxus Dreaming Reaa for comparison. I had thought the only difference was the eyes, but the head overall is smaller and the features much closer together than the standard Reaa head sculpt. I would love to see more of these dreamy eyed girls!!! Serin (Black Lac) and Ouzel (Pink Fluxus)
I do the pics of my girl not very often. It's so difficult to photograph her because of her color. But I like this photo:
[MENTION=67165]Natawik[/MENTION] she is really pretty! I love that you teamed the cream dress up with some stompy big boots! I've been intrigued about how the black resin looks in real life and can't help but feel that these darker resin dolls would benefit from a lighter face-up to enhance their features.
