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.

Franklin Mint Dresses fitting MSDs?

Apr 5, 2015

    1. Rather than necroing the old thread, I thought I'd start a new one!

      I'm absolutely in love with some of the Franklin Mint dresses, especially the Rose ones from Titanic. Does anyone have the measurements to any of those outfits to share, please?

      My 1/4 girl (an Angel fantasy Lena) is a little on the slim side in the hips so I'm *really* hoping she might fit into Rose's 'jump' or 'boarding' clothes.
       
    2. You're going to need more than slim in the hips. I don't have an AG MSD girl so I can't comment on that but I do have a Rose and several of her costumes and she's pretty slim in the bust too. I have several Gene dolls and several Tonner girls and many of her costumes are really tight on them or don't fit those dolls at all and mostly those dolls are slimmer than most slim MSD's. The Gene dolls I can just get away with the dinner dress and the red dress I have if I don't button up all the back. But the Tonners I have with the regular bust it's just not a good fit. The Antoinette I have is too big in the hips but the bust would likely fit. Some of the ballet girls a bit better, they're small busted, but again it's not an ideal fit. The 16" fashion BJD's Dollmore has they might fit, but regular slim MSD's I think it would be very tight indeed if anything fit at all. I have Delilah Noir dolls that are about that size, regular slim MSD. Her clothes are definitely bigger than the clothes made for Rose though they can be used in a pinch if you don't mind padding the bust. I don't know that doll but unless she's pretty flat and very slim hipped it's going to be hard. There are a lot of Titanic Rose type patterns out there though. Her costumes are popular with a lot of dolls. If you can sew I'd suggest altering those up a bit for your BJD. Rose costumes they're not exactly cheap either so you might save some money making something like yourself besides...
       
    3. Thank you! :)

      Unfortunately I don't make doll clothes (and wouldn't know where to begin), and honestly of all the outfits in the world, Rose's would be the ones I'd be happy to pay top dollar for. (Titanic is like my favourite movie...)

      Some kind person on the old thread listed the measurements of one of Rose's outfits (I forget which) and AF Lena's bust, waist and hip measurements are a fit. She really is skinny, haha. It'd just really help me out if anyone has the other FM outfits they could list some measurements for. Even if the outfits didn't fully close up at the back, as long as they'd look good for a display or photoshoot I wouldn't mind.
       
    4. I have bought a dress of angel FM, this one:
      [​IMG]
      for my minifee active line girl, big bust. Dress measurements are:
      Chest 19,5 cm
      Waist 13,5 cm
      Length 38 cm
      Well, it fits :) though not perfect - it's a little bit too long and could be more tight in chest. Still minifee looks nice:roll:
       
    5. That's the same body/face girl as their Czarina Alexandra and FYI, she's much bigger than Rose. I've got her too. They used her for a couple of dolls actually mostly angels and the Czarina, but there are a few incarnations of her out there. She's got bigger hips and a much bigger bust than my Rose. Czarina's clothing is pretty big on Rose so if this doll's clothes are loose in the bust and hips on your doll some of Rose's clothes just might work. I'm sorry I don't have a Minifee otherwise I'd try clothes from both on and see...
       
    6. I recently discovered this and decided to test out some FM outfits I have and just ordered more to test those to and just have if anything for a FM doll.
      My minifee active line fits the two FM outfits I have and would fit them better if she didn’t have a large bust but still works. I have the Rose flying flown outfit and the Scarlett O’Harra night gown set with green robe. Just ordered an I love Lucy outfit and Scarlett’s black mourning and flower dress with hat to try out.
