Satin or velvet fabrics? It's have a sacred or mysterious feel to them I remembered I have some hair scarf so I tried wearing it .. maybe could use some vintage patterns
No doubt that lace is a great idea. I missed it too. I have been searching auction websites for the past few years but found nothing. I'm glad DV want to make Nagas. When I received them, the half-year wait was worth.
Medieval European fabric would mostly be wool for outer-layers and linen for underlayer. The very rich would have shown off with luxury fabrics such as velvet and silk. They would have dressed the fabric up with fancy trims or have part of the clothes made with patterned fabrics like Brocade. Towards the end of the Medieval period, satin damask also become availble to the rich. I can't remember off the top of my head what dye colours were availble, some of them are specific to the area they were produced and exported/imported by other countries. So might need research if you were after a particular country/time period
I've had a chance to have a few minutes play with my naga doll, I know everyone was curious about their ability to stand. I found mine was very top heavy so could only just get mine to stand one way (and not very stable). I also tried it on a 1/6 invisible stand and that works well so I'll definitely use the stand! imgur.com Bonus, I wanted to see how the DV naga compares to the old Sugarble naga- imgur.com It's interesting to see the difference in the engineering!
I don't have the Sugarble naga, only the DV one (it and DZ MiYou arrived today), but this comparison is interesting to see! The Sugarble one is surprisingly small in comparison and I thought they would be around the same size. The DV one also looks more immature in comparison face wise, more cutesy than Sugarble. It's really fun to see sculpt comparisons like this! P.S. Thanks for the advice with medieval fabrics! Mel will definitely be wearing velvet or silk (leaning toward velvet though) hehe!
The biggest challenge with Medieval fabrics will be getting the right drape and weight that’s the correct scale. I’ve sacrificed velvet hair accessories for fabric as those tend to be thin enough. Little trims of fur would also be appropriate. Do you have a photo reference? I could be more helpful seeing what you are thinking off.
I was silly and didn't post my new human Rin here (went to mature tinies instead) but figured I should ask my more specific question here: What's the ideal elastic thickness for one of the 30cm human bodies? (based on your own experience of course) Rin is violently kicky and has the notorious too-tight stringing, and I just want to avoid buying way too much elastic as I rarely collect this scale!
I am poking the tracking site and pouting because my dragon is still not here and is... somewhere. 17track hasn't updated in four days.
I get my DV Izzy in a few days (hopefully!) and was wondering how people have managed to clothe her. I know I'm going to make her some clothes myself but would 1/6 fashion doll clothes work as a temporary thing (I don't expect these to fit well, just curious if they work at all.) I haven't seen many owner photos out there so I'm not sure if I'll have any luck but figured it was worth an ask if nothing else.
I have an Izzy, and just tried some Barbie clothing pieces on her. They can work, but the wings and tail have to be worked around, and she's got a much smaller chest than Barbie! Mine's bee wearing an outfit made with a pattern meant to fit Couqette Jackie.
I'm so excited, I'm getting my first pet doll and it's a Dream Valley Coco! I'm planning on making her into a cottagecore bunny so my question is that I'm wondering if there are any premade clothes that fit? I'm specifically looking for cute dresses. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very appreciative!
Anyone know what color Dream Valley resin would match a Doll chateau peach? Thinking about buying a yosd body for my dora head. I love her deer body, but it's hard to display and I'd like to keep the blushing on it safe.
I bought this little beauty from Epicari, and omg she makes me so happy! I cant wait for face-up weather I 'think' her name is Lati, short for Latimusa, but I wont know for sure until her face is done The posing is challenging, but I think I'm getting it ^.^ I stack stones in my spare time, so I like the struggle of balancing things
