Dream Valley 1/3 Doll Discussion

My Qing is a royal pain in the rump to dress. Nothing fits her properly... I'm either going to have to make everything she wears or have it custom sized.

Maybe I can find her a super-long wig and claim she's cosplaying as Lady Godiva. <_<

 

@Gathephaar I actually like playing around with clothing options for her. It's really interesting. Alright, so picture of having fun...various clothes sizes under the spoiler to save from picture spam.

Spoiler: Clothing Comparisons

First up is some regular SD outfits. Dress is from Alice's Collection from their '1/3' clothing option. It's a tad short on the torso and a bit big in the chest. The shirt was a second hand SD shirt, so I don't know from where and might be hand sewn. Again, it's a little short in the torso as well.





Next up are some clothes I got as a gift from Impldoll when I ordered the 63cm Star Body. I think the fancy dress is supposed to be for their shorter Model body? It still looks cute, but like /all/ holiday dresses it seems to stand up away from the boobs. (The black skirt is actually from the first dress)





Last one is more of a funny? But I love how casual she looks in oversized 70cm boys clothes.

 

That would be lovely, thank you

 

@Peneyofdeath Thank you for that! My character doesn't wear a lot of dresses thankfully, but it does look like this body will be a little difficult to dress. It's so hard to find a normal body with a super small bust option that has good posability!

@Brightfires Yeah, that's what I was worried about. Thankfully, I can mod and sew, so maybe I can get away with it XD

 

wanted to share my new Athos that arrived yesterday. I made an unboxing thread: LINK
he poses so nicely and is even more beautiful in person.

i had hoped i would get the ankle balls with magnets with the extra feet, but no dice.
I wonder if anyone with a B-56 type body would mind posting a picture of that part?

@Peneyofdeath - your Cecelia looks terrific in the SD boy top with those leggings and boots *chef's kiss*

 

Aw. Thankies She has a bad habit of stealing her giant of a bf's shirts and using them to taunt him.

 

Hello guys, does any of you have their female body hybrided with another company's head? Trying to get rid of my old PW body, but I wonder if the DV body isn't actually too thin for normal or slighty smaller SD heads.

 

I don't currently, but I'm intending to when both come in. The headsize seems to match up well with a regular SD head, it's just that the neck is a little on the thin side.

 

Ugh......I'm slightly tempted to order their 71ish cm boy body in tan now that it's not orange. Do you guys know how often they offer or change their colors? I honestly just want to see how long I have to consider him before he's gone. Because if I only have as long as the event...hnn, I might be screwed to a layaway.

 

They don't seem to change their colors too frequently. The grey was a new addition with the giraffe event, and they also had a limited purple resin offering for that event but the grey is a permanent fixture now. The notices say that the chocolate is limited to this event only, it's like a placeholder while they fix their tan. Maybe the new tan will be chocolate, but maybe it won't. I can't imagine the new tan being worse than the orange-tan the old tan was, but it might be a light tan too. I don't like a lot of companies' tan because they're light tans and more akin to like Iplehouse "real" skin. If you like the chocolate imo you should go for it.

 

Genuinely, if I was going for perfect, I'd wait until they took an olive tanned tone. I might have to take advantage of the sale and pretty tan. Now I get to wait for DC to do a tan event so I can get a head I want xD

 

DV released Sirius and I immediately fall in love with him. I just got my DV Vine. And Sirius looks like an adult version of him. Luckily he is still available even after an event so I could cool down for a while before get him for good XD

 

i am trying so hard to not look.... but i agree, Sirius is very appealing.... i love that 1/3 body too, it is so nice to pose.

 

Sirius is VERY appealing. I should try to resist since I've got most of my dolls stored away for lack of space right now but my partner and I both really like Sirius so it's sort of like I'm buying him for both of us

 

If you buy him, don't forget to share pictures of him! He is in my wishlist which may get him next year hehe

 

Sure thing! I decided to get him in the new tan so now we just wait

 

My girl's body should be here soon! I am so excited, but nervous too. I really hope this hybrid works!

 

I also really want Sirius, I think I’m gonna wait to get him in chocolate or hopefully an actually dark tan if they release it.

 

I bought dream Valley Belinda wings for my dream Valley Silina, will they fit since she is smaller? lol Also, how do I unstring her.. she's strung so nicely I don't want to ruin her.

 

If her wings are strung on a separate elastic loop, that's ideal. If they used one of the elastics in the body it's harder to get the slack. You might be able to look inside if you can make a gap at her torso, see what's attached that way. Or, unhook one dragon wing, and see if the other wing comes out with a loop of elastic or not.

Once you can get her original wings off, i would recommend putting the new ones on their own loop since it's a lot easier to manage. i got some good advice from a thread about DC's skeleton wings here: LINK
the pictures helped me visualize how to approach the install. I did my Bethel this way too. Since the doll is smaller, you might need a kip to the larger wings.

i love those amazing wings from Belinda, i hope they work in your Silina
