DreamingDoll Discussion (Ddollshop) , Part 2

Lovely! Did you mod her eyes open?

 

Yes I did! She's also on a fairyland body now.

 

Happy day, everyone! Here's Kira, my Airi, enjoying a little bit of sunlight. I'm thinking of doing an outdoors photo shoot soon if the weather stays nice.

 

Hi, everyone! I'm thinking of ordering a Little Elva Leia. How quickly does Dreaming Doll ship? Any known issues? Clothing / shoes recommendations? Thanks so much!

 

I can’t help with clothing/shoes, as mine is on a Luts Kid Delf body, but I bought the head straight from DreamingDoll, and it took less than two months. Once I got a shipping estimate, it was right on time. Their checkout system also seemed to work smoothly. I hope you have a good ordering experience. These dolls are stunning!

 

Hey Riene! I haven’t ordered from DDoll in a good while myself (not since I got my Lia in 2012–and holy crap have I really had her that long???? XD). From what I can remember it took maybe a month or two to receive her, and it says on their website that the wait time is generally anywhere from 40 to 50 business days, so 1 to 2 months seems about right.

As for clothes, my girl can wear a mix of standard mini and slim mini clothes. She is taller than Minifees, so sleeves and pant legs and whatnot made for them might be a bit short on her, but if you get stuff fashioned more for Unoa, Narae and so on, it’ll fit her just fine! I’d say be careful with non-stretchy skinny jeans and whatnot though. It might not seem like it in pictures, but the Little Elva thighs are actually pretty thick.

Nine9Style is the safest bet for finding clothes that fit since they actually have a Little Elva girl modeling their clothes. I also have my girl in some boy pants I bought from Alice’s Collections that fit her just fine.

As for shoes, her feet are about the same size as the female M-line Minifees, so they’re pretty itsy bitsy, but it doesn’t look at all off if you put her in standard Minifee sized shoes. For some of the flats I have, I’ve just stuffed the toes with paper towel or tissue bits to make sure they don’t fall off. On the plus side, plenty of extra room for her to wear stockings/socks along with her shoes!

 

Mine also shipped right about where they estimated. I think it might have been at the long end of their estimated window rather than the short end, but still pretty punctual.

 

Hello everyone!
I've been roaming the forum for a while now and I stumbled upon this thread just today! My first ever BJD is a Little Elva Airi and I absolutely adore her. I ordered her last year around this time and I've bonded with her so much over this past year. I was originally planning to stop after just one but she ended up being a gateway into collecting and shelling my OCs! She's still currently my only one (and super spoiled), but I hope some friends will be arriving soon! ^^
Here's what she's currently wearing:

 

Thanks, everyone! Leia is next on my list! My others are Iplehouse, Supia, and DollIts,so she'll fit in with the group!

 

Congratulations! Leia is the sculpt I have (although she’s on a Luts Kid Delf body, since I wanted her to look younger). She’s a stunning girl, and I hope you love her! Looking forward to photos.

 

@sleepinghazard Your Airi is adorable! Love her outfit. Glad to hear you’ve adored your first doll so much. Always nice when a doll just clicks with you. I’ve been tempted to get an Airi for myself, but other doll plans take priority for the time being. Maybe one day...

@Riene I’m sure you’ll just love her! Leia looks like a great sculpt. And yeah, she’ll definitely fit in nicely with the others in your crew. Be sure to share pics when you eventually get her home!

Speaking of sharing...my Lia’s head got back home from the faceup artist this week.



I wasn’t too sure about her new look at first (she had her default faceup since I got her in 2012 so...), but the more I sit with her all put together, the more I fall in love. She has a much bolder and mature look to her now, so she fits her character’s personality a lot better.

 

@Singull Thank you so much!! It makes me so happy to hear you say that! Your Lia's new faceup looks great on her; I love sassiness, it definitely suits her! I'm so weak for these little elva redheads!

 

I was reading back posts on the thread and saw mentions of a Christmas and/or winter event. Should I wait to order my Leia? What were those events like? Thanks!

And thanks for the advice on clothing and shoes! My poor Dollits and MiniSupia girls didn't have any clothing and spent far too much time wearing the wrong sizes! I want my next doll to have something waiting on her.

 

Leia will be my next doll. Does anyone know where to get glasses for her, like the ones on her page?

Unfortunately, I have no idea where you could find glasses like those ones. x 3x; Never seen any like those before. Maybe you could ask DDoll directly?

 

Dreaming Doll has a new website. You'll need to sign up for a new account, it seems.

Does anyone here have the Elva Girl Body and the 16 Elva Girl Body (both are 1/3)? I'm interested in the 16 girl body but I'm not sure how well she'll pose, so does anyone have pictures

 

comparison here! I only have the 16 body but her posing is really nice. She needs some sueding or kips or something to hold really finessed poses, but the joints give a really good range. For example, this SUPER OLD photo from Jade's box opening:

 

Thank you so much! And the 16 body is much more posable than I thought

 

Does anyone know where to find sewing patterns for these dolls? I'd love to make her some clothes, since I can't find them to buy.
