Dollshe Ladies

Thank you, @Girrl, for this very helpful info!

 

Hi! I have a quick question regarding Dollshe Diana. I ordered her around a year ago and have been in contact with Dollshe. Despite the wait I am still very excited for her, as she will be my first bjd.

I'd like to ask what shops, etsy or otherwise, would be good to buy clothes and shoes that would fit here. Any stores that people have personal experience with would be nice to hear about!

 

I would also like to know about shoes for Diana. Her feet are larger even than my Spiritdoll Proud girl body. None of the shoes I have fit. Maybe she'll have to shop in the men's department?

It took almost two years for Diana to arrive. Well, happy Christmas to me! I love her! I love that she comes with three heads. I feel like the OE is closed enough and the SA is too closed. So far I've only painted the OE head and the SA. I modded the SA eyes to be more open. Here's a picture of that head:

Congrats! Always great to see another Diana. ^___^
She does fit well in standard male SD sized shoes, since her feet are 8x3 cm, I believe.

 

Oh thank you! Good to know.

 

Congratulations Jay! She is lovely! I love her with the bangs.

I'm still waiting for my Diana...going on a year and nine months now...

 

A beautiful girl. Your mod is perfect!!

 

Thank you! Ugh, the waiting time is ridiculous. Mine came unstrung so I think shipping was faster. But I know they're going out now so, hopefully, you won't have too much longer to wait.

That's so nice! Thank you! I'm really happy with how she turned out.

Here's the OE head, no mods. I gave her a softer faceup and I like this look too. The beauty spot on her head is in remembrance of my darling mother who had one in that place.

I like this look too. The beauty mark is a sweet tribute.

 

Did DollShe stop making the SD Diana? I went to the website to get measurements on her and she's not there.

 

I honestly don't recommend buying ANYTHING from Dollshe. The company is a total shambles and many customers are waiting 2+ years (some way more than that) for dolls. Some get nothing at all. As for whether he has stopped producing her, not sure, but I don't think many people know what is going on with that company...

 

Got my Dollshe after 1.5 years, btw.

Last time I cheked Dollshe (1.5 years ago), Diana was only in her 50 cm form.

 

Does anyone have the measurements for Diana?

 

Still waiting for my Diana...over two years now...and counting.

I'm almost surprised DOA still lets us talk about this company here...after all the 'questionable' practices they seem to have.

 

Banning something doesn't make it go away; it just shoves it under a very opaque rug, though I think we all wish it were that simple.

Honestly, It's hard to feel sympathy for anyone that buys Dollshe at this point, especially in a hobby this small, with receipts front and center. Willful ignorance? Wishful thinking? Who knows; I can't wrap my head around it whatsoever.

 

Talking about the problems here is the best way to let other members know there is a problem. I once lost two dolls heads because the artist I sent them to had been banned on DOA and I didn’t see the warnings! I had successfully used the artist before.

 

Well, I'm glad we can still talk about Dollshe dolls too. I hope someday they fullfill all their orders. I do think they get a pass...on how they do business...only because they have beautiful dolls and seem to eventually fullfill orders....eventually.

Edited to add:

I do sometimes wonder how many customers finally cancelled their orders....or who has the the longest wait time to date? But maybe that is better for the general Dollshe thread.

P.S.
I knew what I was getting into when I ordered Diana. I swore I was never going to order directly from Dollshe ever again...but the price of her whole package was about the same as most heads...so I took a chance. I don't complain often...but even the company I ordered her through (BJDivas) doesn't do business with Dollshe anymore because of their ways.

At this point I don't know if she will ever be sent (and maybe I will be surprised if she is)...but I kept a kernal of hope alive.

 

I actually considered buying 3 or 4 Diana's on sale so I could resell them for more, but not worth the dollshe aggravation. Right now I'm looking for a body that will go with my Copper Oriental Diana head - any suggestions? I got a Doll Family H and it is way too big.

 

I found this post and hopefully someone could point me in the right direction. I have a Dollshe Erica Snow and would like to see 26F head and 17F body.

Anybody have any references?

Proportions is what I am looking.

 

I just grabbed my girls to see if I could swap heads for you, but I realized my Diana's S hooks is too huge to get off through the hole In her head... I'm actually not sure how to get her head off because of that...
I'll keep trying to see if I can figure something out ...
