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.

How do you store your BJD, clothes, and accessories?

Feb 5, 2015

    1. I have a small box in my closet where all the dolls' clothes are stored flat in ziploc bags. Each doll has xir own bag of things, and at the bottom are heavy objects like accessories and shoes. I got the box itself from the dollar store. It's just a hollow ottoman.
       
    2. I actually plan to store them im a wooden doll-wardrobe my grandfather once made for my aunt when she was a child. At the moment I have an SD sized drawer in my room, where I store my doll‘s clothes.

    3. I have my doll his own drawer in one of my plastic drawer closet thingies. But it's already full because he's already got so much stuff. I have to empty it out maybe. It share between the new doll that will come in that I'll give his own drawer too. I have six drawers so I still have room for for more dolls heuheu.
       
    4. We have a large apothecary chest with over 30 drawers, so I’m transferring all doll things into that and organizing by category and size, with lavender, cedar and silica gel packs to discourage moths and damp. Before that, I kept things in 2 stacks of graduated hat boxes and a small chest. I remove things from plastic and cello bags and use acid free tissue paper to line drawers and stuff wigs and shoes/boots to help them keep their shapes.
       
    5. For now, any unused clothing get put back into the plastic they came in. Then stored into plastic drawers. Ive been eyeing out some doll dressers and cases but havent found one that I really like yet.

      I hope the link works, because I wanted to share the little doll-wardrobe my grandfather made many years ago for my aunt, whiich happens to be in my posession now. Of course it was not made for BJD's but for normal dolls, but it has the perfect size and I am crazy in love with it!

    7. i have a small (decorative) luggage trunk from hobby lobby that i put most of the clothes in.
       
    8. I currently have all my doll clothes (for both BJDs and off topic) in lidless, shoebox-sized bins lined up just under the edge of my bed. Each box is for a different size.

      The benefit of this is that I can just stick my hand under the edge of the bed and toss things in their respective boxes to put them away. I can be quite lazy if my stuff is too hard to access, so this is important.

      The downfall of this system is that there's so much variety in the dolls in my collection that each clothing item may fit 3-5 dolls, each vastly different. It's hard to keep track of what fits everyone and what doesn't, and my current system doesn't allow for separating each item by doll.
       
    9. Currently I keep extra clothes in baggies and then organized in plastic box that lives in my craft room. I'm hoping to install shelves and then make a small wardrobe so some of the prettier outfits can be on display, too.
       
    10. still new to this hobby but i'm lacking space to store stuff. i currently have it stored in the doll boxes and doll carrier i have but this is not ideal for me. i'd rather have a drawer system or some other way to store them.
      but as i mentioned, i don't have a lot of space in general so i have to just make do with what i have and store as best as i can. maybe in the future, i can have a better organization method for my doll stuff :)
       
    11. In a zip-lock bag next to the doll stand.
       
    12. I actually have a doll-wardrobe in Doll-size standing in my room (my grandfather made it many years ago for my aunt's soll when seh was a child) It has the ferfect size and I store my doll-clothes and accessories in it. I think I already posted a picture of it in another thread. On top of it I also have a little doll-dresser to store props and other things for my dolls
       
    13. Fill it with bags and put it in the bin.
       
    14. I actually use pencil boxes! They keep the dust / cat fur out perfectly!

    15. I try to keep the doll clothes in the boxes (all of my dolls have one) but sometimes i found their clothes between my own clothes. Can you imagine the situation when you are sleepy in the morning, you want to take on your socks but it is only 5,5 cm? This happened with me.
       
    16. Have a large box with many clear plastic bags to put clothing in.
       
    17. With my smaller, non-BJDs, their clothes fit just fine into the approximately ten thousand makeup bags and boxes I've accumulated from those free gifts you get on beauty purchases over the years (side note: would love like anything other than a makeup bag/box from those).

      BJD clothing is too big for that, so I have all of my BJD clothing in this cute vintage travel trunk. I somehow ended up with 100+ of these comic book storage card and sleeve sets, and I put the clothing in that so nothing ends up wrinkled up. Everything fits nice and neat into the trunk, and it's so easy to find what I'm looking for. I can also fit my eyeball boxes, doll sewing books, shoes, and my maintenance kit in there, so it's pretty great!
       
    18. I store my dolls in my closet on ledges and don’t take them out during the day since I’m pretty fussy about yellowing. I keep things like clothes, extra parts in coa in little boxes.
       
    19. My doll (SD sized) is in a book shelf safely seated and I store his clothes individually in bags as well as his extra hands(the ones
      he came with, i got him jointed hands).I I store most of that in the box he came in or the BJD sized Chest or his Mini dresser.
       
    20. Zip lock bags, with four outfits a piece in them, all stored into one big trunk I bought JUST to be their wardrobe. Sometimes I have fantasies of little hangers and making it into a closet... but I make them too many clothes to justify that.
