Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 67

@Dedizenoflight thank you so much! I'm really happy with how she turned out

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my eyes open because my incoming second-hand Minifee head has seemingly gotten lost in the mail... S/he is a Spring 2017 event head that's coming all the way from the UK to the US and I think the seller was given the wrong tracking number sometime between the handoff from Royal Mail to USPS. We ended up with updates for an entirely different package that has since been picked up from a post office a few states away. (I called them and they confirmed that the parcel was assigned a different seller and buyer that, indeed, was postmarked correctly to their location.) The seller has been wonderful and communicative and is ready to refund my money if it doesn't turn up, which will be a huge bummer if it comes to that. There's a possibility that it's still in transit and is just untrackable, but it's so nerve-wracking. Hopefully my next update will be here and not in the Lost/Stolen Dolls forum.

 

oh no, I hope your package gets to u soon Lady Gemini!!

 

@Lady Gemini I hope she comes soon! It's so stressful when they're in the hands of the post office.



My Hwayu came! I love her so much. I've always wanted a "spookyish" doll. I used a ribbon to tighten her corset. I think I need to get a gold or black one to match. I honestly didn't think I would like the fullset this much. But it looks so good, I think I'll just add to it.

Here she is near the window. But her normal spot is in the corner of a dark cabinet where she can be extra spooky.

 

@brightberry Your Hwayu looks lovely! Congrats on getting her.

I'm so excited, i have 2 heads out for faceups and I'm getting a tan minifee erda head soon (a twin for Sebby that needs a name still lol). Have some Sebastian in exchange for my excited rambling! He got a new blouse recently!

 

Everyone's dolls are so gorgeous!

Has anyone gotten a Lami in person yet? I'm interested to see an in-person photo of the faceup.

 

My Lami is on a long layaway so wont see mine for a while sadly. I too would enjoy some owner pix from different people once she starts to show up in the wilds. I love seeing how different people style the same dolls.

 

Yes, me too!

That's partly what has made it difficult to decide if/what sculpt I want to reshell one of my characters as. Sometimes the company photos is not at all what I'm looking for (not a fan of the "sad" eyebrows), but then I see an owner photo on Flickr and I totally change my mind! I even thought about switching to SD size, but I am not at all a fan of the F60 Moe body so I think I'll stick with msd size.

 

@Urushi-kitty Always love seeing Sebastian, his new blouse is cute af & congrats on the incoming tan (am I a lil jealous, of course but can't wait to see them!)


Theoretically....could we have a call for some full/e bust lovelies? No mold preferences (& no reason....not thinking of adding a new mnf to the crew....of course not ) And whichever of my neighbors may've heard me shout "She needs those ti****s!" Well, they can min' their bidness

Also for those with full busted resin residents, do u have a fave brand/shop for tops? My current girls are not so well endowed

 

I haven't posted my girl here yet, but I couldn't just ignore the call! This is my beloved Belle, my Luha girl, conveniently modeling some new clothes and jewelry she just got (from SalmonellaArt on Etsy):



Sorry for the picture quality - I'm getting a new phone soon with a better camera, so the quality should improve lol.

As far as clothes go, she's really versatile - she'll fit just about anything made for Minifee unless it's very specifically only meant for small bust girls. Sometimes the shape of the bust does require some creativity - I have a loose-bottom crop top for her that I get to stay down under the bust with a miniature hair tie so it has the right shape to look flattering on her. Generally corset style or tie-back tops will be the easiest fit. My favorite shops for her have been SalmonellaArt and CeressBJDclothes on Etsy, but she also has stuff from CottonHoney, TiToDollUSA and balljointedsoulmates (all on Etsy) that fit great. (A note: CottonHoney clothes run big for Minifee. I love their sweaters though, they make great comfy sweater dresses for Minifee girls!)

For reference, she and my partner's Minifee Hwayu (who has the C/large bust) swap clothes all the time, and there's very little they can't both wear. I can't say for sure about smaller bust sizes - we just got our first small bust girl in the house about a week ago (my partner got a Catacombs Hwayu head on a small bust moe-line body), so we haven't gotten to experiment much yet.

If you want any more pics let me know, I am always game to show off this gorgeous girl.

 

ah thank you! i worry about spamming him too much but i adore him...which is why he's getting a twin i guess lol

 

Your Belle is gorgeous, more pics would never be a bad thing! Love her top, it looks fantastic on her. And thank you so much for all the info and shop recs. I was wondering how crop tops would work, so thanks for the tip for that too

Considering I haven't stopped thinking about the 'maybe' new girl for days - she already has a name & general look....guess she's not a 'maybe' girl at all & I might as well get shopping for her! And I'm sure my other girls wouldn't mind some new stuff either - the sweater dress idea sounds cute & since none of them have one, will be adding a few of those to the must-have list.

There can never be enough Seb. Have u decided on a name for his twin?

 

I have not, i actually suck at naming so cfgbhfn i might be asking here for name reccs soon!

 

Thank you so much! I will definitely post more pictures here then! I'm obsessed with her. And no problem, if you have any other questions feel free to ask! It does sound like your new girl isn't such a "maybe" anymore.. :p do you have any thoughts about what sculpt you're going to get for her?

CottonHoney sweater dresses are so cute it's criminal, I swear! They are sometimes a little short so I usually pair them with leggings, as a tip. As I type this, Belle is wearing one and her sister (my partner's Hwayu) is wearing one too. They're just so cozy! I have to redress Belle for the day though now, it's 80 degrees out and definitely not sweater weather.

Anyway, here is another pic of Belle (in one of her CottonHoney sweater dresses) but this time with her boyfriend Arthur (MNF Alan) since I felt bad for leaving him out last time

 

roserising - Belle is gorgeous, I love her wig!!


Also, DenverDoll has the event Hwayus, a tan Maya and a Mirwen in stock. I'm trying not to look.

 

Thank you so much! It's from ZaZouCustomDolls on Etsy, they make the most beautiful fiber wigs!

Aah you can't tell me these things, I promised not to get anymore dolls... that Maya sounds so gorgeous though! Good thing she doesn't have a stock faceup, I hate doing faceups

 

Quick question: has anyone noticed older heads seeming loose on newer bodies? I just purchased a Spring '17 MNF event head second-hand that's in great condition, but is slightly loose when I put it on an A-Line boy body (c. 2021-22, since it came with a Lookback Shiwoo head). It's just such that the head wiggles a bit and makes a rattling noise, but can still hold poses and won't fall off or anything. It doesn't bother me much and can probably be fixed easily.

I don't know if there was a change in bodies from 2017 through 2021 or if it could be an issue with the resin itself; there was a discussion on the FeePle forum of Feeple & old-school CP Delfs' headcaps loosening over time, which I noticed with my own Delf from 2011.

 

I've had heads that are loose on the body they were made with/for. I think it's a quirk of casting, as I have multiples of some molds and also normal version event version of some heads and some fit fine some wiggle/are loose. As example my scowling Alan fits his body 100% and head cap works fine. However the normal Alan head is loose on the same body/neck connector and also has a very loose head cap that needs tape to stay on.

I also have two Erdas on the Fairyline body, one is slightly tighter then the other for fit on the neck connector., but they are both within range of normal for me so barely note the difference.

 

Thread won't load right for me rn to quote so I'll do it 'ye olde fashioned way'

@roserising Absolutely down for all the Belle pics I can see why u love her - she's a stunner & love her mix of sultry & sweet. & yep, I know exactly what mold my new girls gonna be: an Alan! There's just something about that face.

Thanks for the leggings tip too, my current girls are fans of leggings as a wardrobe staple. And ok I could buy sweaters to match pairs they already have....but where's the fun in that? lol If I'm gonna do wardrobe shopping, might as well do some serious shopping They've certainly gone long enough without anything new so deserve a good batch of clothing 'treats' I may also be trying to talk myself out of making 'the new girl,' TWO new girls & adding that Alicia to my order @ DDE
