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.

Making vs Buying

Jul 4, 2016

    1. I like to make things and anyway, I don't really have a choice. I got my dolls back when I was a bit more financially secure and had extra cash, but now even buying 20$ shoes on Aliexpress is a big expense. On the other hand, I have a lot of fabric and random crafting supplies lying around (again, from when I was a bit better off) and so I can use that for my dolls.
      I've just finished a sorta gothic lolita outfit (made in leftover fabric of trousers made for myself :D) and while it's far from perfect, my girl now has a dress and headdress that fit her. Beside, I know the more I do, the better they should get, and also there's a sense of pride at doing things (as well as a ton of frustration)
