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.

    2. Thank you. I did make a pdf of the modified pattern and would gladly share it, if I could just figure out how.

      Not sure if this is following or breaking rules, but here is the pattern. I forgot to add a scale to it, but from point to point on the sleeve (dotted line) it is exactly 4.5". I drafted the pattern for a JID, but it works well for FID. This pattern has a sweetheart neckline, but for my FID I modified it to a scoop and lengthened the bodice just a tad. It is based on a 1958 Sweet Sue McCalls pattern.

    5. Hope someone can use the pattern. I agree. That photograph is just breathtaking. I keep staring at it and wondering little things like "How many studs are there in those outfits?" and "How in the world did she get the fabric to drape like that?" Then I notice other details, like the little feathers and tiny buckles. I feel so inadequate. (But then I tell myself that it's not a contest.)

    8. Thank you @skyealloway @Violet Kidd @IngieBee
      That field of blue flowers is just the best place to take doll photos every spring. We went out there several times, with several different dolls.

      Here's Grace again...

    10. OMG!! That chainmail is REAL! I thought you found a fabric that looked like chainmail. How many hours of work did you put into that outfit?

      Is that a halter top or halter dress? I'd like to copy it. Is it from a pattern? Can you point me in the right direction?

    11. Thanks @IngieBee and @Violet Kidd - Yes the chain mail is real, but I didn't make it. I tried that once years ago and it took a week to make one tiny square inch. My eyesight is much worse now so I wouldn't even try. So I ordered it from China. Two square foot samples from - Soft Stainless Steel Anti Cut Chainmail Screen - Buy Chainmail Screen,Anti Cut Chainmail Screen,Soft Stainless Steel Anti Cut Chainmail Screen Product on Alibaba.com. They sent it as a piece two feet by one foot. I took some photos when it arrived...

      I do make sure to have fabric underneath so the chain mail never touches the doll itself, and only use the chainmail in areas where it would show. I don't make an entire bulky garment out of it, as I don't really care about 'historical accuracy' so I'm only into suggesting that there's chain mail underneath.

    12. Wow, what a compliment! I'm giddy, but unfortunately, this was a sock competition from DoA that I ended up liking. It's a halter top with a skirt made from a shiny sock, then I made stockings from big stockings (also socks) and then I made a shrug, not shown, with a more lacy stocking, LOL. So I don't have a pattern :( However, I can try to make one, it'll take a little time, but I think I can get one together this week :D

      Oh, I remember @MB Lilac :doh so amazing!

    13. I'll be watching for it. I think it looks great (on my way to Walmart to buy socks).

    19. I love how their horses are blushed, it really adds to the DEPTH of their world and it's such inspiration.

    20. @IngieBee - Thank you.
      @petiteballerine - LOL. It's a good thing she had it on since it was super windy, and it helped keep her hair in place.
      @Anneke - Thanks. I felt the horses need a bit of 'help', so blushed them and made new tack for them all.
