Dollstown 13yr & 15yr Discussion - part three

Jane, I've wondered if it will be smoothed out a bit more when the finishing is done, might just be on the original before they do the mould. I wish they would stop making amazingly beautiful new body sculpts though, I simply have no money for dolls anymore and just basically want everything I see from Dollstown... so UNFAIR!!!

 

Thank you from me too for pointing out the indent in the lower lip vonbonbon. I would really like to see her with a faceup, but I am still pretty sure that I will get her! I am also going back for another look at her face. Did not notice the indent either.

I have always loves the 13Y body (and all the DT bodies for that matter). I would definitely buy the new one if I was in the market for one.

 

Ok, I'm still trying to decide if I need to buy a girl or boy body for a head I have - now I'm looking at the (long discontinued) 15yr girl body....I've looked around and I must have missed it - is there a comparison pic somewhere with the 13 and 15 yr girls and possibly the 15yr boy? I was literally about to hit the buy button, but I'm so indecisive about this....

 

There are some good comparison threads in Photo Reference, and I believe An Jong Hak posted all of the old comparisons on his Flickr.

 

Is that DTs flickr or a different one? I was on Dollstown's account and they seem to have gotten rid of all their discontinued body photos - or I somehow missed them, but the oldest I could find was 18yr.

I've been looking through Photo Refs and still haven't found anything, I came up with one photo of the old 15yr boy and the 15yr girl....but I don't remember if I found it on google or flickr now D:

EDIT: Took a chance and went with the 15yr girl! Hope it works!

 

I have recently bought a Volks SD13 on the secondary market, my first SD, and am loving the size. I adore some of the Dollstown 13 dolls that i have seen and have a wonderful Connie Lowe outfit winging its way to the U.K that would fit one perfectly . Are the Dollstown 13 girls good posers? I had heard that they can be kicky from someone, but wondered if this was true?

 

I had to dig deep to find this thread @_@ I was wondering what dollstown 13y girl owners did to their girls for them to wear heels? Dollstown doesn't seem to have a heel feet part (unless I'm mistaken). Do you usually swap feet with another company?

 

My girls on the DT13 bodies wear Musedoll heeled shoes and they fit like a dream



My girls can stand unsupported in them too.

I also use some rush wedge heeled sandals from Dollmore....they are good too. I have them in both the dark and light colourway options...

Dolly Shelf Sunday: nineteen


I hope this helps

 

Thank you so much Jane! Your pictures were so helpful~ are your girls DT fresh skin to match with Musedoll resin?

 

I am so glad it was useful and I did not switch the feet at all.........the Musedoll and Dollmore shoes fit the dolls with their original DT feet!

 

So unexpected :O and also a relief! I was imagining having to put Luts Delf heel feet parts or the likes on the body to be able to wear heels I'm really grateful for the info & pictures~ your dolls are super cute by the way ^^

 

Thank you!

And good luck to you finding Musedoll shoes now. I'll bet the more 'gentle' high-heeled shoes from other companies will fit too, it is just that I don't have shoes from them.
Let's hope somebody else will know about Dollheart shoes and Volks shoes etc *fingers crossed*

 

Hey everyone! I have a Volks DWC03 head that I want to put on the DT 15yrs body. Is oriental the skin color that matches volks?

 

Thank you for sharing! I love how the shoes fit! Musedoll shoes were so beautiful, now there is nothing on their website in shoes section. I remember those glitter pink shoes, why didn't I buy them then, oh!
I've got my new doll Lucille and I have already made her a makeup. I should sew her something nice and then I will be able to show her. This is the first time in my life when I did a faceup the next day I received the head. I feel she's very special for me, pure doll love

 

I am so looking forward to seeing your Lucille here with her face-up.......DT are so special!

 

Hi everybody! I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a Merry Doll Round head on a Dollstown 13-year-old body and I have a lot of trouble getting her to stand on her own. I tried restringing her but it didn't work. Her knees tend to bend all the time and she doesn't hold the straight leg position. Is this a recurring problem with this body? Do you know if sueding would fix this? Thank you so much in advance!

 

I wired and glue sueded my DT 13 girls, and that cured the dreaded DT swivel leg for me.
I hope it works for you too.

 

How did you wire her? Mine kept bending her legs at the knee after I wired her

 

I use a long 'U' shaped length of plastic coated aluminium wire......the wire needs to be long enough to go in at her lower torso and extend beyond each knee. I then *pop* the doll at the lower torso joint and thread the ends of the wire down each leg.
Does this make sense? How are you wiring your doll?

 

I didn't thread it through the hip and I used pipecleaners, so maybe that was the problem. I will try it your way and let you know how it goes
