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.

    1. @LyanneNZ Your Aaliyah looks absolutely wonderful - I love seeing her pictures every time!

      @vermont chick Panic purchases ... no, more the opposite - no purchases cause I am a little paranoid I won´t see their arrival. If I contract this virus I fear it won´t end well. Which makes me think twice about buying stuff. Which is kinda stupid, I guess. But at least my purse is happy about these morbid thoughts of mine ...

    2. Damn wish that worked for me! I'm plenty morbid but that just makes me buy all the more!

    3. sidroq, your ebony Stella is glorious! You have cemented my ambition to someday own a FID in ebony, I just haven't decided which one.

    4. My Aaliyah has painted eyeballs which is why they are easier to photograph. I love glass and acrylic eyes but I had trouble when I moved to the smaller dolls capturing their tiny eyes so I played around and made some painted ones. I need to make more for Aaliyah as I think these may be a tiny bit too small and one is not quite even with the other but most of my FID crew are wearing painted eyes now :) They can still me moved around and changed as normal but they are just hand painted irises on a white polymer clay sphere.

    5. @LyanneNZ - Your doll's eyes are gorgeous--I was going to ask where you bought them. I've tried painting my own but I can't get both eyes to match. Do you finish them with a gloss medium or a lacquer for protection and shine?

      @Ashemanu - When I think about it, my panic purchases are probably fueled by shortages at the grocery store. So many products have disappeared from the shelves because of people hoarding, I figure I have to buy dolls when I can or else they'll disappear, too. This is sheer paranoia on my part because dolls are made to order. They don't run out unless the maker has specified that only a certain number will be made. As for fearing that I won't see their arrival, I don't let myself dwell on that possibility.

    6. I just paint a gloss sealer over them. Any time that I can avoid a spray sealer means I can paint indoors at any time ;) It is a challenge to get them to match in this scale. They are so tiny to paint.

      This time though my Raffine is wearing acrylic eyes that I bought before Safrindoll stopped making them.

    10. @LyanneNZ - I wouldn't spray something that tiny, either. I'd have to do it outside and the propellant would most likely blow the eyes into the grass. I'd never find them again. I wish Safrindoll would bring back their resin eyes.

      I just love Raffine's dress. The tailoring is exquisite and the color divine!

    11. Hi everyone!
      Guys, I need help. I am waiting for FID Mary and I've started knit a dress fro her. But I can't find the measurement of the small chest on a slim body. Does anyone have the body and can measure it for me?
       
      #871 ombre, Apr 22, 2020
    12. @ombre I believe it's 20.5cm, hope that helps!

      #873 Lady Tiku, Apr 23, 2020
    14. Thank you!

      I will. Someone should ask them to add this information. Just I had been writing to them about my order all over the week. I think their manager stats to hate me. :lol:

    16. @MB Lilac That is a gorgeous dress! Does Yur have a standard Iplehouse faceup?
       
      #876 nancy_schroeder_ca, Apr 24, 2020
    17. Oh, she's magnificent! So beautiful. <3 <3 <3 I love Yur. X3

      Hope your husband is doing better. :<

    18. @MB Lilac The dress is stunning, as usual. But I really love the necklace - so delicate!
       
      #878 Ashemanu, Apr 24, 2020
    19. @nancy_schroeder_ca - Yes, she has faceup A
      @Ian-KunX - Thank you. Yes, he finally came home a week ago, and is recovering slowly. Unfortunately he won't be allowed to drive anytime soon, so that will really limit going for doll photos out on location. I'm just going to have to put extra effort into our backyard this summer.
      @Ashemanu - Thank you. I took the necklace she had with her gold gown (a Kate Webster doll necklace) popped off the gold stone, and glued in a smaller dark blue rhinestone, and surrounded it with tiny size 15/0 pale blue beads.
