Iplehouse Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

Thank you @dm_sof and @nancy_schroeder_ca .

Here's one last photo of my couple after their performance, with Rex not wearing the mask.

 

@MB Lilac This is just once again breathtaking.

Just out of curiositiy: Will you get one of these, for Baron and Naomi a couple of years later?
Hurray – Kids in scale with the fashion doll size!
I would love to see them in your costumes .

 

Thank you. No, I'm not going to get one of those Raccoon dolls. I personally find their heads too big on too thin a neck, and their heads really aren't much smaller than an Iple KID. I'm not a fan of Racoon dolls in general, except for the Monica sculpt. I have two MyYou toddlers to become Baron and Naomi's children once I get past the porcelain baby stage. I don't know if they will ever grow up. No one else's children do.

I'm just going to continue using KIDs and BIDs as children for my FIDs. They all inhabit a fantasy world after all, and I can see past the head size discrepancies. The worst are the Iple KIDs with their huge tops of heads, but that can be minimized with wigs, hats, and camera angles. And I have too many of them to try replace them.

 

Pity the new Raccoon girls are not for you. The head body proportions looked a bit odd with the first doll (Juliet), but I think the latest three are much improved. But if anyone can make the Iple kids look in scale with camera angles it's you.

 

Hi everyone! I love this thread, the pics you share are so inspiring. I don't think I have ever posted here, so I'd like to introduce my FID Baron

I looked at their size comparison again, and it looks like the new Raccoon KIDs would be the proper proportions to go with our FIDs. The three newest sculpts are rather nice, but I wouldn't want to replace all my existing family's children. They all have their own looks and personality. Maybe I'd consider trying one with an entirely new family grouping. But then, would they make my Iple KID's look too bobble-headed if they got too close to each other? But then, I've also seriously run out of room, and shouldn't really be buying more dolls. The key word being 'shouldn't'. Like, how does one actually stop?

 

Good question!

 

@Seed-Singer HOT! Very nice pictures -

@MB Lilac You are so right about that. I don't have space either, but somehow there's always a corner in the closet where another doll would fit. And they are tiny, so they take up little space . I never mixed the FID/Raccoons and Kids, they exist in different worlds, so I wont be faced with that problem. I wouldn't want to replace my kids either- but of course I just have four of them. Just happy that there is a proportional kid for a future mom. I am not sure if one of my existing males will be the dad or if I have to buy another guy to create a new family... Hehe- BJD lover problems.

 

@ResinRapture - LOL. I know the problem only too well. There's just too many great dolls out there, and one of mine could always use another sister, brother, child, or friend.

We just got back from our annual autumn road trip, and this time I took Eden and Yvette (Yur). They've only ever been background characters in other people's stories, so it was high time they got to go on an adventure on their own.

 

Thank you!

 

Made a new dress for mini Lahela Her red shoes are from He-Meife (Minifee size).

She's lovely and her new dress!

 

@LyanneNZ The dress looks like a summer day. Beautiful.

I accidentally cut the same pattern piece twice and used the "useless" part to make this shirt.

 

Great save!

 

@LyanneNZ and @ResinRapture - What stylish and lovely handmade creations for your dolls to wear you both have made!

 

Great that you were able to make good use of the extra piece! I like the top like this

 

After her performance....

 

@MB Lilac I adore your styling and photos! Do you paint backdrops yourself, or buy them?

 

Thank you. I have several sets of foam core walls that I made, which become the background walls, and then I decorate with paintings and wallhangings I made. This particular scene just used my stone castle interior walls, because it was already on the table. I just changed the furniture and decor.

 

This is such an atmospheric photograph, and it captures a moment frozen in time.
