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.

Guilty pleasures

Mar 12, 2017

    1. Even though I'm not good at doll sewing (yet!) I collect scraps and leftovers every time I go to the fabric store and stock pile everything I find. I don't know why I have this obsession, but hopefully it'll pay off when I actually figure out how to sew tiny clothes :XD:
       
    2. Dolls...it wasn’t until recently that these dolls got eyes, wigs or clothes. Some of them still are sitting around without clothes are wigs. I really love seeing dolls put altogether but I also love getting a new doll. Typically...a new doll wins out but recently I’ve been like...dang these dolls need at least eyes and wigs! Lol I’ve also realized I need to buy dolls with faceups or they’ll never get one

      I’m a bad doll owner
       
    3. I often felt guilty when I bought way too many clothes and choosing what to wear on them. But not that many guilty thing on me when I'm playingWwww
       
    4. Boy dolls...they're all just so pretty.

    5. My guilty pleasures are buying cute lolita clothes for my dolls, i should be making clothes for them instead and saving money.
      Also buying dolls as soon as i finish paying a layway i start another. I feel like a compulsive doll buyer.
       
    6. Finding small props!! If I’m in a store of some kind and I find miniatures I can’t help but want them. They’re so cute and I don’t even care if they don’t fit SD size.
       
    7. Pretty boys and too many clothes. Even though most of the dolls on my wishlist are female and I'll probably only own two boys, I want them to look pretty!
      Even some of the clothes I've ordered for my DollLeaves Jeremy are technically girl's clothing, like the black crop top that reads:
      "Oui
      Non"

      on it, and the black sweater with orange leopard print.

    8. Low quality instagram shots... I could take better pictures and often do, but I just love the low quality ones more for some reason xD

      Ridiculously oversized clothing and really long sleeves. It's just so cute. Gah. My dolls might as well not have hands because nobody ever sees them. They're all sleeves.

      Hats. All the hats. Especially bobble hats. A doll can always be improved with a hat. Who cares if it's summer outside? Hats all year round.

      Really loosely strung dolls that can't hold poses at all but who cares because they're SO CUDDLY. I'm embarrassed to let other doll people hold my dolls because they're so badly strung.

      For my boys... wearing their jeans around their thighs. Hahaha. Can be slightly awkward when their t-shirts ride up, especially for the ones not wearing underwear. But I like the slouchy look.
       
    9. Fantasy dolls. Just so many fantasy dolls I love the feet. I don't know why.
       
    10. Cute dolls and fabric to make clothes for the dolls >.>;;;;;;
       
    11. Finding doll size items out in the wild. I get so excited when I see something for my dolls.
       
    12. My guilty pleasure is face up supplies, I can't walk past pastels and brushes with out buying something. The other guilty pleasure is, I love making things for my dolls so I have a ton of could be projects. lol I'm one of the " if I have some free time I'll make...." people.
       
    13. My guilty pleasure right now is hoarding nude dolls. I think I currently have nine resin sweethearts at home and only two could be considered complete but that's only because they came as a full-set with a whole outfit and face-up. The rest are blank, absolutely blank to the core. No face-up, wig, eyes, clothing, shoes, nothing...

      I feel guilty as hell about it but I just keep looking at the next doll whenever the last arrives. I swear I'm going to downsize one of these days and just keep my favorite(s).

      Right...
       
    14. Dark fantasy and steam punk style clothes for sure lol. Not that they are bad it’s just not my style and doesnt go well with my dolls but I still love buying them since they are so pretty :p
       
    15. this is a recent one, but historical patterns. I think I mostly ordered my most recent doll so I'd have someone to dress up in 1910s sewing patterns. Do I have the stuff to MAKE 1910s patterns yet? No. But to be fair, I don't have the doll yet either. And I do have a plethora of stuff for 1700s, 1880s, and access to 1860s and 1900s stuff from the school library.
       
    16. Oh my goodness, I have so many..! My parents (whom I still live with for now) think BJDs are a waste of money so I kind of "window shop" around and just daydream (I've even gone on Etsy and put stuff in my cart for an MDR Mousse I don't even have!). I've had my poor girl for over a year now and no clothes or even a decent wig because I always feel guilty, so onto the wish list they go! Oh well, I love my girl so she's worth every penny to me:)
       
    17. Fem boys and posing my dolls to be kissing it’s just so sweet
       
    18. I was thinking about it, but I don't really think i have many guilty pleasures. Since it's a hobby for doing whatever you like, nothing stands out. There are plenty of thing I enjoy about the hobby, but that just shows I enjoy collecting and customizing dolls as intended.
      I do tend to invest a good amount of time cultivating etsy lists of things for each doll, sadly I haven't gotten much of what I've planned for them yet. So I guess I get a weird enjoyment out of searching high and low for the perfect shoes I can't buy:sweat
       
    19. My guiltiest pleasure is buying dolls lol... I love planning on how I’m going to save for the next doll or when I’m going to order to take advantage of events. I’m like the head coach of doll buying fo my friends. I try to help them plan too. Don’t get me wrong! I love getting dolls but I gotta say the build up is super fun too!
       
    20. Searching out & finding all sorts of in-scale accessories. My 1:3 gang has everything from 6 packs of beer, cigarettes & lighters, pipes, staffs, camping gear to books, pets, swords, wine glasses & wine & anything else I can find. I'm also a furniture fiend. I have furniture in all sizes including some antique pieces. Then there are the trunks full of hats & purses. Love 'em! Not to mention far too many clothes, wigs & shoes. I always tell people that my dolls have their own collections of stuff. And my greedy Little Fees have turned out to be among the worst as they have lots of pets & stuffed animals too.
