Dollmore - Illua Doll Discussion Thread - Part 1

I really like the proportions that head has with that body. I recently got a big lusion and now my Isabella looks so small in comparison!

 

Hi everyone, sorry I disappeared for a bit... I was moving across the country, and my dollies were all packed up so I couldn't play with them or take pictures...

@loveusps it seems you already got your answer about the seem lines, sorry I went MIA! I can provide pics if anyone wants... But my seem lines are pretty similar to the pics @ker246 provided

Also, my gf ordered a Renoir blue coat dahlia, and has a few pics of her up in different clothing (mostly volks sd clothes) and wigs (btw, she reports that msd volks wigs fit really well!) on instagram... look under the hashtag dollmoreilluadoll on ig. I'll ask her if I can post some of the other pics she sent to me here as well!

Otherwise hope everyone has been well! Here is my girl in a simple dress and socks I made... And bonus comparison with volks msd

P.s. let me know if that pic comes out too big, I've had to find a new method of getting the links from Flickr

 

Also, @AlmySidaKay love your comparison pic, is that lusion alice? And your illua's saddle shoes are to die for do you mind sharing where you got them?

 

Yes she's an Alice. Second... I wish I could I got them at a doll meet ages ago for almost nothing if I remember correctly because they were so chunky for being like SD boy shoes. I'm sorry I can't help more than that on those. >.<

 

Which Lusion sculpts and clothes would you like to see in Illua doll size? It's going to be a while before I buy another doll but, I'd like to see a mini Elenoir and a Royal Floraison outfit.

 

hello! I just ordered a chocolat blanc Dahlia! does anyone have clothing suggestions that would fit her?

 

The illua doll's hands seem a little big so I'm wondering how difficult it is to fit clothes over her hands. Do you ever need to take them off to put clothes on?

 

@Allie27 I have a few blouses from volks that fit my illua girl... the one's with snaps on the sleeves fit fine, and the one without is very snug going over the hands... I ended up making a "flamingo" out of miliput to remove her hands (I made a few different versions since I didn't know what would work, which was good, as the thinner ones broke straight away!) But I have one that works like a charm for removing her hands! I think if I make another batch I will reinforce it/them with a wire base.
But anyways, I haven't found it necessary to remove her hands yet, but the flamingo makes it easier for certain items (an probably saves the clothes too!)

 

@jamie5m I have found that volks sd blouses, cardigans, skirts, and dresses mostly fit very well! Depending on the items, the sleeves can be a bit snug, or the waistbands are a bit loose and may need a pin. I have a dd size skirt from dollheart which fits perfectly for her small waist, and I also have an sd blouse from rrabbit that fits well... sd17 shoes also fit, but certain styles look ridiculously huge - so that will be trial and error! Most sd socks will stretch.
Also, my girlfriend discovered that volks sdm wigs fit very well. That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there are lots of other things that would fit

 

Thank you.

 

my Illua was shipped yesterday the day after I finished payments and she is already in Canada today! I am freaking out I am so excited guys!

 

I'm having trouble accessing the link that shows Illua with an Alexia. I can open Illua with Lusion but not Alexia. Does anyone have any advice? I'd like to know if they could possibly work out as sisters. Thanks for any help

 

What do you think of the quality of the illua clothing that you can buy individually from Dollmore? How do you think those dresses compare to the ones that come with Chocolat noir and Chocolat blanc?

 

Thank you, ker246. Where did you get the outfit in your photo? Your doll looks very pretty in it.

 

@bajib - Are you still unable to view the image? I was able to access the link on my phone and could direct message you a screenshot of the image if you'd like? It shows the Illua as just a little bit taller than Alexia.

That would be really helpful I also appreciate the update numbers remaining. I REALLY want a Tell Me More Daish to go with my Star Daudets Alexia if they look OK together. If there are still 7 left, I may be able to.

 

Thank you so much for the photo. It is exactly what I needed to see! I wonder if since the Alexia and Illua bodies seem pretty similar in size if their discussion threads couldn't be combined like some of the other similar sizes are doing?

 

I noticed that Dollmore is planning to sell 3 sets of a limited illua doll outfit individually:
Dollmore.net :: Everything for Doll & more
I hope Dollmore eventually decides to sell all the limited outfits individually on a regular basis. My favourite outfits are "Tell me more Daish", Renoir's Blue Coat" and "Ribbon Candy"
