Iplehouse B.I.D. Baby discussion part 9

Your Byuri is a sweetie, @luluna and I really like the little dress you knitted for her

I have Byuri too. She was very happy to have a doll with a dress the same colour as hers

@rosehollow - Thank you so much! And your little Byuri and her dolly are totally adorable! Her pretty blue eyes also pop so nicely with her blue dress.

 

Thank you so much @luluna ! I made her dress and petticoat a couple years ago. Here she is showing off the petticoat

@rosehollow - Oh the petticoat is super darling with those little, tiny blue flowers! Just so sweet on her! She looks most pleased to show it off.

 

SHOES !!! Okay I've got that off my chest, they are the bane of my life. BIDs and KIDs all have the same tiny feet, too large for Blythe shoes and too small for the fairly easy to get 5cm shoes which can look like clown shoes.

I was wondering with all the 3D printers out there if anyone has come across someone who is either making or can make 3D printed lasts to make the shoes on and who, in my case, would ship to the UK? I know there are digital files out there but I don't know anyone who could print them for me. If not I'll have to try making some with Fimo

BID’s are terrible show-offs. Mine are!

 

I apologise for not having replied to people, if I should have done. I’ve had covid for the past month or so and had no interest in dolls or anything (but they kept arriving).
Now I am better I’m trying to catch up.
Martha asked me a couple of time if I had filed off my Efreet’s (Clara) fangs. Well, I had a go and wished I hadn’t. Not only have I managed to file them very badly but I’ve also managed to knock an eyelash off, chip the paint on her lips and mark her cheek!.
I’ve managed to use pastel on her lips (would you believe the IH paint is almost the same as Derwent Pastels colour terracotta?). It doesn’t look too bad as long as you don’t look closely. One good thing I have done is that I scraped the colour off her tongue (unintentionally at first) and I think she look much better for it. IH had her looking like she’d been drinking blood (but then she is supposed to be a vampire). AND SHE’s STILL SINGING & giving her opinion to anyone who will listen.

 

Oh, I love this photo.Thanks for posting it. Some of them I know, like Holly, Cookie and Effie but others I have trouble remembering their names. Thank you so much for naming them.

 

If you manage to, please let us know. My KID’s and BID’s are wearing 5cm shoes, some from Fatiao on Etsy and I get a lot of canvas sneakers from Amazon. Like you, I find it very difficult to get stuff for them here in Britain and it’s very expensive to buy from the States or Korea.

 

I have only found a couple types of shoes I like on aliexpress. You might see them for a lot more on other sites sold by resellers. The Mary Janes are really cute.

 

SK Couture or SKDollhouse Store has nice rubber boots, they are on Etsy and aliexpress.

 

Yes, I’ve got all these shoes/boots. The snow boots came from AmazoUk as did the sneakers. The Mary-Janes came from Fatiao/Etsy. So I do seem to have access to the same kind of things as you do. That’s nice to know.
They don’t all fit BIDs tho, some things labelled 1/6 will only fit my RacoonDoll and my Fairyland LittleFée (slightly smaller feet than BID’s).

 

Thanks, I’ll have a look.

Very cute, luluna!

 

@El BJD - Thank you! I've had this KID outfit for a while now...and needed something for this little girl to wear. (It's suddenly become hard to find BID clothes!) And it fit her well enough. The black tights are huge...but work because they don't really show.

Where to you all get clothes for your BIDs?

 

I have updated Elin’s look again. I was sort of disappointed that I couldn’t get her to look how I imagined and was debating on keeping her. I tried a new look and now I can’t imagine letting her go, another example of them choosing their own style.

 

I have things I like on my two b.i.d from a seamstress here in the states and my dress above is from dula doll clothes on aliexpress. It is the beige in 1/6 size, I thought it would fit typical yosd size but it is slimmer and fits my q body Elin perfectly.
