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.

    2. I’m looking for modern clothes for my new girl on an elf body. Any store recommendations?

    3. Sorry, mine only wears 1920s/30s stuff so I can't be of any help.

      Hopefully others who follow this thread can supply some recommendaations.

    4. TTYA on Etsy sells some MSD tops that fit Dollstown Elf Body. Also Sashapotamus on Etsy sells very cute tops. Leggings are the best for bottoms as jeans are difficult to fine unless custom made.

    5. Question: does anyone have comparison between dollstown Paleskin and Fresh. I did see on the website Fresh appears pinker. I am looking for more photos if possible. I need a body for a Notdoll head. The head is a white with a clear pink tone to it. So darker than white but not even close to Volks Normal skin much lighter. I am trying to decide on Paleskin or Fresh? I do need some pink to the resin! (I am wanting an elf body). ** I think Paleskin will be the best match but want to explore Fresh just in case it might work.

    6. I have no comparison photos as have never purchased a pale skin from Dollstown. But I can tell you a fresh skin will have the slight pink tone, but depending on age of body it can warm up to a more mellow tone, not sure what your head's skin tone will do. I have always purchased fresh or oriental skin tones, but its easier and cheaper to adjust a head then it is a body. So I suggest buy new from Dollstown and get the fresh skin.

    7. This head is quite a few years old so pretty stable. The people I bought her from said she had a pale skin elf body which was about 2 years old and had mellowed and matched well. So was curious about the fresh skin. Thanks for your input!

    9. the pale is really white and mellows to cream, the fresh is a pale pink fleshtone with mellow yellow undertone, decidedly not a blue pale pink but more salmon-y pale pink, when i have my pale skin and fresh skin seolas next to one another.

    10. um!! well I have to hope the fresh skin would not go too yellow. I keep my doll out of the light so that would help. thanks for all the feedback

    12. Thanks! I just went ahead and order the freshskin. Will be slightly darker I would think but the white looks so white. My girls has some pink color for sure. Should be interesting to see how she looks on the body! Will be spoilt with that new body.

    13. Did anyone else order the Sarang Limited Edition head? It was advertised for the 7yr body but photos online also show it on the Elf body. (Frankly, I can't imagine it on a 7yr.) I ordered it in Pure skin as an extra (i.e., alternate) head for my Luna Elf. The weather finally cooperated so that I could do her faceup. Here she is:

    14. I hadn't even realized there was a limited edition head.

      Works well on the Elf body. Glad you finally got a chance to give her a faceup.

    15. I have just ordered the Xiao Yu head from Black Cherry Dolls and she recommends the Elf body for this head. I ordered the head in Copper so will need the Dollstown Copper Oriental resin body, which apparently is an 80% match...I'm good with that.
      Has anyone on here got an Elf body in that skin tone that they can show me please? I've been through this thread and saw Jane's lovely darker girl but don't know what shade she is (although I'm sure Jane did tell me in the past :doh), only that she's gorgeous!
      Later I will go and start looking on the first thread.
      I am loving the look of this slim body and she will be my only girl over MSD size so am really looking forward to sewing in that bigger size again.
      Hugs Sharon in Spain xx

    16. I have quite a few Copper Oriental dolls - it is my new favorite color. I love the way it photographs.
      I know I have an elf somewhere in my photo stream on Flikr but can't fine it so this is a little girl - in Copper Oriental.

      Hopefully won't get in trouble with a second photo - but this shows it in different light.

      I also love doing face ups on it. I think some of the best I've done have been on the Copper Oriental girls - may be the color or I may be getting better with practice.

      Vermont Chick: I ordered Sarang as well with the elf body.

    17. Thanks @Teddy. The head was advertised in the BJD News section here back on July 11th or 12th ( New Doll - Dollstown Torre's new head release). It's an edition of 50 units, which I assume means a combination of heads and full dolls until the number reaches 50, rather than 50 of each.

      @Xiaoli - I can't wait to see how you paint your Sarang. Did you order her in Copper Oriental? I had to get Pure Skin to match the elf body I already have. I hope your order doesn't take too long. Mine arrived quickly because the head was in stock.

    18. Thank you so much @Xiaoli for the information and the photos, your girls are lovely and this is such a great colour. I love tanned dolls, nearly all of my dolls are tanned as I love how it photographs in the sunshine (we have a lot of sunshine here in southern Spain!). I thought I was going to have to wait on ordering the body as I haven't got enough in my paypal account but hubby, bless his little cotton socks, said I can borrow the rest from the bank account and pay it back when a doll I have sold on layaway, is paid for! So I'm going to order now :) Hopefully that'll mean that the head and the body will arrive within maybe a few weeks of each other as the head should take about 2 months plus 3 weeks for the faceup from Blisslacosta.

      I just love how long and lean these bodies are!!! :)

    19. I have a question for any seamstresses on here. If you're sewing for your Elf body, what size patterns are you using, or are you just making your own or adapting existing already made ones please?
      I fancied making something in advance of my body arriving and have patterns here for SD sized dolls but seeing as the Elf body is very slim and doesn't appear too large, I don't want to make something for it to be waaaay too big for her. Any ideas or suggestions welcome :)
       
      #479 dambuster01, Aug 11, 2019
    20. Hi Sharon,

      SD size patterns are too broad. They'd swamp the DT Elf body.

      GraceFaerie Patterns does some specifically for the DT Elf (there's a four-seasons pattern for example) and I've foudn them very easy to adapt too.

      But you've sewn for the Elf body before. You made this lovely sailor outfit for me when I had my Nettle on the DT Elf body, years ago:
