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.

Iplehouse CREAA Doll

Apr 10, 2018

    1. @QuietYurei - I love your girls in their boney outfits!

    2. Having recently restrung my Elysia, I can warn you that thicker elastic may not work due to the unique way their legs are strung. There is an extra hole in the lower torso piece that the elastic is criss-cross strung through. I needed a fine piece of wire to re-do it.

    3. Where do you get the footwear that doesn't look massive on these lanky girls?
      I have a lot of 5.5cm shoes, but they all look too wide.

    4. I'm not sure about any leather/cloth type shoes, but have you seen any of the resin ones Iplehouse offers for them? They're all heels and modern looking though, I don't know if that's your taste.

    5. Welp, I tried the lazy not-restringing method - i.e., I pullllled on the elastic in the torso. Must have made 3 or 4 knots. My girls were really loose. Still wasn't enough.
      I am thinking of restringing with a little, teeny, tiny bit thicker diameter elastic - I know Iplehouse loves their crisscross leg elastic in the lower abdomen.

      Also: CREAA-Js are available for ordering again. It's funny to me, cuz the dolls weren't for sale for years, and now they seem to be available every couple months.
       
    6. I tried hot glue sueding my Elysia this morning, and it made her neck, torso, and shoulders much more stale. Her hips, though...:sigh
      I did the same tightening method as @MaleficentMrsofEvil and got it tighter, but her hips are super loose, even with hot glue. Another doll got the wig I ordered with her, so I'll have to order her a new one.
