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.

Dollstown Elf Body Discussion - Part 2

May 21, 2015

    1. Love that dress @JinCIncy !

      My dandelion/elf hybrid (this top was made for F60 which is great for a slight oversize feeling).

    2. Lovely, but aren't you worried the glasses will scratch her faceup...?

      Teddy
       
    3. @Teddy no lol. I've been putting glasses on her for years with no damage as my work is durable and I'm careful... and even if I did damage her, I can just paint her again. That said, loads of people put glasses on dolls with no damage so it never even occurred to me to worry.
       
    4. Thanks. It's just that I noticed that there are no nose-pads on those glasses, and it occured to me that the ends of the metal either side of the nose could potentially be scratches just waiting to happen, so I had to ask.

    5. @Teddy Yeah, on some subconscious level I've been careful with these, but the elf body is tippy too so this girl has definitely tried to face-plant during shoots, and I've had to catch her/etc with glasses sliding. No issues at all. :)
       
    6. Cool!

    8. It is adorable, as is she.

    9. @dambuster01 your Dandelion is so lovely! It looks like the DTelf body is a perfect fit!

      @JinCIncy I *adore* your Maddie - and your rainbow elf is absolutely charming!!!

      I’d like to share my little gal Wren (DTelf Soyu) who just got new Dollbakery 14mm Sublime eyes
      and a ‘new’ wig from Iplehouse. It’s a tad large on her so I may have to sew in a tuck in the back
      but I like the “rose-pink” color for her. She was beautifully painted several years ago by @Jay .

    10. She looks amazing with those eyes!

      Teddy
       
    11. Sharing my "re-imagined" Maru...…………...she originally arrived with a DT face up, and while it was nice, the eyebrows were much more "red" than they looked in the promos and she just never "clicked" with me. I finally decided I wanted something different for her and asked Akiko (Vitta Vera) to redo her for me. I was inspired by the fairy tale stories of Snow White/Rose Red and wanted her to have dark brows and "berry" kissed lips. Here is the result. I think she turned out beautiful!

      Teddy
       
    14. Thanks all...………..I've been having fun with her. I'm so happy with how her face up turned out.

    15. Hello! I made a kimono for a friend with an Elf Body doll, and took some photos... (ah, sorry, the post button is not the preview button...)

      The kimono is made of vintage silk kimono that was damaged. I took it apart, washed it extensively (please note that there are particular ways to wash kimono), and cut it to fit this lovely girl. The yellow hair flowers were sort of a spur of the moment decision that took about a week to make, and those are called "kanzashi" or "tsumami zaiku" , a kind of silk art craft.

      Here's one:
