Dollmore Fashion Doll Discussion

Still waiting until I can get a face-up on mine - and for that, I have to wait until the second head arrives so I can send them together! But I've made some progress in making my girl her dress! Not much to show yet unfortunately, just getting the pattern right, but I'll take photos when it's done!

 

Awesome I want to see it

 

Just wondering, will the Dollmore 16 inch FMD scale with Iplehouse FIDs? Thanks

 

Oh, absolutely they will~ They are both in the 40-45cm range.

 

For me, the Iplehouse FID are too big, bigger heads and they're quite tall. The FMDs have a wig size of 4/5 and the Iplehouse girls have 5/6, and at that scale, to me, it's just too much. Here is a picture I just took where both dolls are seated. The body is not Dollmore, so it's best to compare just the heads. Of course, I like all sizes together so this wouldn't bother me at all, but a lot of people want their dolls to really fit together and I just thought you should know in case that's how you feel (sorry for the crapy picture, my Eya just came out of her bag, LOL



The Iplehouse boys are even bigger with size 6/7 wigs and closer to 50cm (maybe 48-50cm)

 

Lol, I was only thinking height range! But yes, head sizes are definitely very different! Thanks for adding that reference, @IngieBee

 

Also, it depends if you want them as adults together or not - I'm putting a FMD head on a different body to look like a teenager next to an FID, and I think that works well. Not sure how the original body would look, though.

 

Yah, I can see that working, though I don't think much over 10 years, but very cute I can't wait to order a boy, he'll be on the Dollmore body though. Can't beat those broad shoulders

 

Only 1 more month until I make my last payment for my Sara and Eya's bodies. I'm dying to finish them!!!

 

Well, I've been having the worst day, but I just got a notice from Dollmore saying the head I ordered is being shipped!!! Yay!!!! Weirdly, they say they can't ship quickly by Fedex this time even though they could only 2 months ago so it's going to be slow shipping??? Oh well. As long as it gets here in the end!

 

Oh poop, I know though. EMS is really being poopie heads!! I don't know what their deal is?? At least it's on the way though @morganatron . Gosh it'll be awesome to see a Mika head doll! Spice things up!!! I'm still waiting for my withdoll bodies, I want to get my girls together asap!!!

 

Sorry, took me ages to get around to taking the photo, but here you go: FID boy, Dollmore FMD head on Souldoll general body in the middle, Raccoondoll lady on the end. (She's pretty much the same size as an FID lady so I included her too.)


Please do note she's not on the original FMD body, I don't know how that would look! As I wanted her to look more like a teen I put her on a younger looking body - for me, it works very well, but others might not like it!

Oh yes, and that's the dress I've been making for her that I mentioned earlier, still no face up, but I thought I'd take a picture anyway as I like how she's turning out! I'm making an overgown too so she can have different looks going, I'll take some photos of her on her own once it's done!

 

Wow, she makes a fantastic kid there! Especially that sculpt! Hummm.... LOL

 

OH NOOOOOOO.
My Mika arrived but her head is MUCH smaller than the Thelma and she's not going to work as the hybrid I wanted after all! Here's a picture so you can all see:


...So everything I said earlier about which hybrids work and if they work with FID and Raccoondoll - actually, it looks like it depends on the head sculpt. That's quite a difference there! I'm going to have to turn right around and sell this head, sigh... if only it worked like other shops and I could just swap it at Dollmore for a Thelma head! I think I'm going to have to get another one of them instead to make the doll I wanted. So disappointed!!! Oh well, you take the risk with hybrids, and sometimes it doesn't work out. Never mind!

 

@morganatron OH NO! That's a massive difference! What? Is the neck hole also different? That's a huge difference, but maybe hair would change the size difference? I can say that Sara had a larger head than my Eya, only not THAT big a difference. It might be an option??

I'm still waiting for my withdoll bodies, I really hope they will arrive soon

BTW, that's a beautiful Empire waisted dress, so lovely!

 

Yeah, I know, it's a MASSIVE difference!!! It definitely won't work for me, as they're supposed to be in scale with Raccoondoll and FID - it's just too small! So disappointing. Such a shame because it's a really nice sculpt!

Anyway, here's a picture of the Mika head in profile, in case that's of use to anyone - I know I had a lot of trouble finding any blank pictures, so I hope that's helpful to someone!

 

Oh, it's so sad, she's such a beautiful Asian sculpt it actually looks like the same size as the Chicline doll heads from Fairyland.

 

A bit bigger I think! I mean, I don't own Chicline any more so I can't compare, but from memory Chicline were a bit smaller again? (Could be wrong though!)

 

Yah, you're probably right.

 

Well my withdoll bodies arrived today and I absolutely love them! I love how easy they are to pose especially, they are amazing! I can't decide if the necks are long enough for me to bother with sanding down. I'll see once I try some clothes on I guess. Well, here they are. My Eya's head is smaller than Sara's, but not as much as Mika's??

Spoiler: Sara on body

Spoiler: Eya on body

I still need to blush their heads to match
