1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    1. I don't know why this can't be a Discussion thread for all the large Dollstown dolls. I can merge both the threads together if it's wanted?? Let me know~

    3. They've been kept separate because the size is so different that they have no crossover with clothing or other items that would be discussed here. They all share a photo thread though! :)

    6. Dana I am *gobsmacked* and just so delighted for you!!! :D I'll bet you just can't wait to get them back home with you now and dress them as you want!
      Have you got outfits waiting for them or are you going to wait until they are in hand and then start designing then?

      I have hardly ever seen a Hyun yet each time I see one I love her!
      Huge congratulations!

    7. Chubi and Jane, Thank You! Jane, I have a beautiful dress waiting for Elysia but have lots to do to make Hyun's! I haven't sewed Hannah's velvet sailor suit yet cuz she's an elf body and I need her back to do the pattern. But I am so excited! Long wait was totally worthwhile and is now coming to an end! Yippeee!!!

    8. That is one beautiful Elysia, Dana. Wow. Can anyone help me? I am in the process of saving for my big girl, which will definitely be Elysia. My thoughts were to possibly hybrid with another body and I have been looking at other SD sized bodies. Can anyone show me photos of DT 13 heads on other bodies please? Elysias would be great but any of the heads will do. Maybe in the end it will be the 13yr body, but need to work on it. Thanks so much.

    10. Theresa, I can't help either...I am with Peppa on the resin match obsession. I bought a LLDT Little Edria head and I am having a really difficult time trying to figure out what body she would match best with (LLDT doesn't make bodies). I will probably end up with a DT 13 or elf for her but the decision is a real pain!

      Thanks Theresa and Peppa for admiring my Elysia...I am just so pleased with the way she turned out!
       
      #30 Danadollz, Sep 14, 2013
    11. Thanks for the input Dana and peppa. I have decided to have both head and body by Dollstown. All my other DT girls have DT bodies; I thought that I wanted a little more delicate look for her, but I can certainly do that with clothing. I adore the expressive DT bodies so why change? Now I can't wait to be able to order. I have clothes, eyes and wig ready, now just need my girl.

    12. Coming in late to the discussion here Theresa and when you have already made your decision.......but I think it is a good one. Hybrid resin matching can work out so expensive in the long run as it is just so hit and miss.

      I hope you will be able to order your girl very soon! :)

    13. anyone knows which skintone I should order if I want the body for Volks normal?
       
      #33 sarielxx, Sep 14, 2013
    14. Hi sarielxx.......I am not 100% sure about the resin match but I would guess you would have more chance of success with orientalskin
       
      #34 Jane, Sep 14, 2013
    15. I read some where, not sure where it was ... but the orientalskin is really close to normal skin tone ..is that right or did i dream I read it ..
       
      #35 peppa, Sep 14, 2013
    16. Honestly, none of the DollsheCraft colors are a good match to Volks pureskin normal. I have a Genji head on an orientalskin body and it's bad enough that I either keep him very dressed or only photograph him in B&W. There is a significant difference in the resin texture, color and opacity. You could blush a head more pink to match, but if you have a doll with an existing faceup, you'd have to blush the body a more yellow tone, which most people don't want to do.
      I have a few other heads on orientalskin and Freshskin bodies, but they are all companies that have a more pink undertone to their normal skin.
       
      #36 St. James, Sep 14, 2013
    17. Theresa, for what it's worth I LOVE the freshskin color. I think oriental skin looks slightly yellow and since resin dolls yellow over time anyway....

      Theresa, in Dollstown Discussion Part 2, page 42, Wally showed three Dollstown girls with pale, fresh, and oriental skin to show the comparison. It was super nice of her to go to that trouble and you should check it out if you want to see a good example of DT resin comparison.

    18. Hello! I've been lurking in the DT threads for ages; you guys have such remarkable dolls! Now I finally have a 15 boy body, so I'm joining in...

      Sorry to start with a question, but can anyone tell me which size is best when ordering from sadol? I've already tested sd13 long-leg, and the thick DT legs are giving me trouble.
       
      #38 rianne, Sep 15, 2013
    19. Hello rianne
      I have never ordered direct from Sadol so I don't know about their sizing, but I so know what you mean about the *thunder-thighs* of the old DT15 male body!

      I am still finding that buying trousers for my lad is very hit and miss.
      Old Cheerydoll trousers in the standard SD13 have turned out to work very well for him as they were always slightly too baggy and big for the regular SD13 body.
      Here he is in old style Cheerydoll jeans (standard SD13 size)

      But you will have to hunt on the second-hand market for those if you don't just 'happen to have' any pairs at home :lol:
      All other trousers and jeans for my lad have come from the second-hand market were I have taken a chance that the fit is loose and the leg length long enough, except for one pair of jeans that was made for him by a friend......and they are a perfect fit!




      And congratulations on getting your lad by the way! :dance
      What head do you have for the body?
       
      #39 Jane, Sep 16, 2013
    20. Jane, thanks so much! Those jeans look perfect on him. I'm going to have to just take a chance on sadol at some point....Those jeans look great! I was wondering if older brands made for the Volks bodies would work. I love all the slim options now, but most dolls have much smaller leg diameters. XD I do love this body though. It's so graceful!
