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.

MSD Elastic :3

Jan 4, 2008

    1. Ahem, first of all forgive me if this is a stupid question, I'm a first time mommy. :sweat

      I was just looking at DOD and was hoping to get some clothes for my boy and a wig.. and elastic!! *gasp*:o

      So I was wondering, since he is a Luts MNF, will the elastic for the DoC's (sold on the DOD site) work for him as well? does he require a specific type? are all MSD elastics the same? and if DOD's doesn't work, anyone knows where I can get some? :?

    2. As far as I'm aware there's no huge difference in elastic from company to company, but from size to size there is. Elastic used to string a tiny, for example, must be much thinner than elastic used to string a 60cm doll so that it can fit through all of their limbs and joints. And of course a 60cm doll needs stronger elastic than a tiny, which is also wider. Some people just pop down to the fabric/craft store and buy coated elastic cord, I think the ones doll companies sell are mostly convenient because they'll be the right thickness and length to sring a doll of that size. : )

      Don't know the specifics of DoC vs MNF joints/elastic/whatever, so if anyone else posts saying they aren't compatible listen to them. XD

    4. Ok, thanks for the replies! :3 Just to clear it up, seems I didn't explain myself too well, is that I plan on buying the elastic meant for the DoC, not the DoT.

      skwerlie: I'm not too sure I wanna take my boy to a store to get the right elastic, and if I don't take him I'm afraid I might buy the wrong one n.n;;

      Carolyn: So as long as it's meant for MSD's it's supposed to fit, no? I shall check Volks USA anyways, thanks for the link! :D

    5. As long as it's says it's for MSD's it should be about the right diameter and stretch for a mini. It's possible DOC uses a narrower gauge. MSD's are stockier than DOC. But I do not see a separate elastic size for Volks SDC which is a slim mini so their MSD elastic may be meant for both.
