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. 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?

    2. 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.

    3. 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!

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

    7. No, she'd fall off that way. It just looks it.

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

    11. @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.

    16. I love how you captured her, looking to the side, distracted, and she feels like she's moving :D She looks so youthful with a slight punky air, very charming :D @Ban Sidhe

    17. That is a great shot! Definitely feels like you've captured movement with the way her wig is, like you've caught her in the middle of turning.

    18. Did Iplehouse raise the shipping price? I must be imagining it?
       
      #138 derilan85, Apr 30, 2021
    19. Yes, due to the pandemic, EMS only has their premium service right now :( At least, that's how I understand it. I can't see paying so much for shipping, I haven't bought from Iplehouse because the shipping hurt too much :frownyblush:

    20. Now why do your FID Iplehouse dolls look so good on their Battat horses, and my Mari looks like she's on a mutant? :abow:
