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 would you feel if someone gave you BJD clothes as a gift?

Dec 24, 2009

    1. How would you feel if your parents, or friends got you BJD clothes but they know nothing about BJDs. They could get you the wrong size, or the wrong style!
      I would be super happy ! My mom actually told me that she would buy new eyes for my BJD as a birthday gift. But she wouldn't order before asking about the size. :)

      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
      I'm not picky about gifts so I would just let them choose, unless they tell me that they don't want to choose and let me do it.

      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
      Never ! I'll never return or sell a gift. (unless there's a problem about it and it needs to be returned against a replacement because a part of it is broken for exemple - but that's a "special case".)

      Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
      Yes, that's what I would do ! :)
       
    2. I would feel very very happy even if it's the wrong size / wrong color / wrong everything :)).

      I mean,, whoever they are they thought of my love for my doll. I will feel like they really care about me~.
       
    3. How would you feel if your parents, or friends got you BJD clothes but they know nothing about BJDs. They could get you the wrong size, or the wrong style!
      Actually had this dilemma come up--a friend was searching at one of the local cons (we live in WA) and he was asking sizes. He asked me what I'd prefer before he did anything (although he didn't find anything). I wouldn't mind if the friends or husband did though. (And the husband would do his research and ask questions first!)

      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
      Nah--that would ruin the surprise!

      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
      Not a chance--worse comes to worse, I'd see about trading for the correct size or something I could use!

      Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
      I'd keep them! And appreciate the thoughts--but perhaps trade for something the doll could use instead.
       
    4. I will be happy but i say that i cant to wear it and i need to sell it. Or i will wait for doll for this clothes
       
    5. I received some as a gift but unfortunately one of the outfits doesn't fit. I appreciate the thoughtful gesture, though!
       
    6. I would be thrilled and grateful if someone bought clothes for one of my BJDs. Honestly, I have so many of them in so many different sizes, it'd be hard to find an outfit that WOULDN'T fit one of them!

      However, if it did come down to not having a doll to fit it due to wrong size, I might ask if I could exchange it or to sell it on. After all, it'd be a waste of their money if it just lay at the bottom of the clothes bin not being used. Most people would be understanding of this.
       
    7. I would be thrilled to have someone gift me BJD clothes and accessories, and I agree with the above statement. If I give a gift that doesn't fit, I would fully expect and respect someone exchanging it.
       
    8. How would you feel if your parents, or friends got you BJD clothes but they know nothing about BJDs. They could get you the wrong size, or the wrong style!
      It's really cool if they even have the thought of getting it for me. I'll be really happy.
      As we all probably come across people who think we are like kids playing Barbie dolls.. Meh..


      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
      Of course it will be great to be able to pick out what I want but the surprise factor will not be there anymore.
      So, if they wanted to surprise me with the gift, I don't mind if they did not ask me.


      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
      Nope. I will not. It's a gift from them. I will keep them even if they don't fit my dolls.

      Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
      Yeah, as stated above. I will keep them.
       
    9. How would you feel if your parents, or friends got you BJD clothes but they know nothing about BJDs. They could get you the wrong size, or the wrong style!
      My parents have gotten to the point where they ask what I want as presents to the point where they want links to the specific web page of items. One year, my mother bought clothes for Aldric and I loved them.

      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes? I think that they want to make sure they get something I'd actually like so as I said, they tend to ask for extremely specific details.

      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that? I probably wouldn't. I'm pretty good with a sewing machine so I could probably alter the clothes to fit what I need if I truly didn't like how they look.
       
    10. How would you feel if your parents, or friends got you BJD clothes but they know nothing about BJDs. They could get you the wrong size, or the wrong style!
      That would never happen in a million years in my family, but my friends would definitely do research first.

      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
      That'd be nice since I'd get exactly what I wanted, of course, but I'd also love to have clothes my friends thought were nice. :3

      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
      Only if they couldn't use it. My friends would understand.

      Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
      I would definitely appreciate those things, but I'd also want the clothes to actually be put to use.
       
    11. I actually love it when people gift me doll clothing, whether it's store bought or handmade. ^__^

      For the most part I have dolls in all sizes and styles, and pretty much anything given to me can work for someone depending on how or what I pair it with. <3

      Essentially, most everyone gives me doll shirts or pants/leggings, and occasionally shoes, but nothing that would be considered a full outfit or a set. And usually I would rather get those key items so that I can pair them with things I already own, or things I can buy that I have been wanting that's a bit more expensive... And that way I create a certain look that would suit certain dolls/ characters I have. :D

      I am fortunate to have dolls of various size so I would be glad for their effort. Although my parent's style is terrible and I am likely to not like it, I would still appreciate that they are trying to understand my hobbies.

      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
      A gift is a gift. They are to decide what they like and then i'll let the dolls wear it when visiting my parents. much like i do with my kid.

      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
      No way. A gift is a gift. It is something that someone has spent time and effort into getting especially for you. Changing it is very cold and rude in my opinion.

      Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
      I would definitely keep it and from time to time let the doll wear it when visiting the parents. then they will be happy too and I'll be happy from them trying to understand me and my hobby.

      They'd most likely ask me as everyone knows I'll return what doesn't fit or don't like.


      Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
      I would prefer to pick it out, as they'd know nothing & would know I would return it.


      Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
      No, unless it was wrong size or not for my doll.


      Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
      I appreciate it all.
       
    14. Honestly I'm the type of person to accept any gift that is given to me, so I would be elated to get a present related to something I enjoy. :)
