MYou 45cm - part II

I did watch this. Her outfit is amazing!!!!

 

Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Ps your macarena is adorable

 

This is my first bjd, but i got the Lingwei in NS with faceup in body 2 new version and I am very satisfied. Her faceup is stunning and her resin is super smooth. If you like curvy bodies, the version 2 new is definitely a good option because the posability is good and it looks amazing. I ordered mine less than 2 months ago from acbjd, and she came strung fairly tightly. Im not going to mess with her strings yet in case the strings loosen up a bit over time. I wanted to make this post because i dont think ive seen much people with lingwei and her company faceup. I love dolls that look happy, and her little smile is so adorable. The only thing i didnt love was that her face had a lot of tiny glitters on it but i was able to lightly brush some off. I think its just was the faceup is supposed to have, but you cant really see it in pictures.

 

Hello there! After... Years and years of inactivity I am coming back to the hobby and my pick of a doll to start with just so happens to be Daisy on a ver. III body. And so I've got a couple of questions: 1) looking at measurements alone, am I right to think that Minifee clothes should fit the body well enough? 2) alice's collection clothing seems a tad big for this body, but I might be mistaken. Anyone can offer some feedback?

Since I will be ordering her through ACBJD I don't want her to be completely naked while I clothes shop for her properly.

 

@LittleProblem Minifee clothing will be too short, even if it fits otherwise, The height difference is significant. Aside from that...Alice's Collections offers clothing from different shops, they also vary in fit.
If it's just about not having her naked, may I recommend something?
I bought this outfit for the same reason: Girl Outfits for 1/3,1/4 BJD Dolls - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls, BJD Accessories - Alice's Collections
It fit my 45cm ResinSould girl (who is my slimmest BJD of that height), it ought to work for the ver 3 body, too.

 

On one hand, things sure would be boring if every doll fit the same sized clothing. On the other hand, may the sizing struggles disappear into the fiery depths of hell, lol.

@EagleVision1999 thank you for the suggestion! I went with something similar, a looser outfit in parts where even if it's not a perfect fit, I can figure something out until I either get my butt to sewing once I have her in my grubby paws, or find out where can I nab clothing that fits. All else fails, she can sit ther

Either way, no face-up Daisy in normal skin, body 3 large bust and a small pile of assorted goodies has been ordered and paid for. Having gone out of the doll loop years ago I sold my previous stuff off, although I have found a single floating pink acrylic eyeball in a drawer. Spooky.

Now I wait for a while, yohooo!

 

What size wig do you all use for your MYou dolls? I just got the Leekeworld wig I ordered for my doll-in-waiting and... it doesn't fit on either of my dolls who have similar head sizes. It's a 6/7" wig which I chose because the 7/8" wig from Leekeworld I have for Rin is noticeably too big on her (needs a silicone head cap). Argh. I'd rather not order it up a size up but the colour (navy black) is absolutely perfect and not one I could find anywhere else - is there a way to "let out" a wig?

I'm spoiled because Sloane's wig is from Dearmine so was made for her head perfectly...

 

If the wig has a stretchy cap wig elestic you can make some small cuts in the elastic at the back. One cut up then one down to easy it a bit.

 

@LittleProblem Oh, yeah, if you order the large bust then looser or stretchy clothes are a must. MyouDoll aren't kidding when they call it "large"! Minifee can't compete with that

@helmud both of my girls wear 7/8" wigs (from different brands). I have one 6/7" wig from Leekeworld and that fits like you'd expect from that size (my Rens wears it). Could still work though? If the problem is that it slips off due to being tight you could keep it on with velcro dots. That works for one doll of mine who has a super slippery wig.

 

@EagleVision1999 oh yeah, I am fully expecting some serious boobage on my little princess. Let the waiting commence, and hope the customs somehow overlook my package!

 

Thank you, I'll try that if it doesn't fit when she gets here.

Hmm, I probably just got the wrong size (would not be the first time, lol). Wigs slipping off like that is my pet peeve, but in this case I haven't even been able to get the wig on my girls' heads enough to do that. But they're not the doll it's intended for so... maybe it will be a little easier once the new doll gets here.

 

I’ve run into this problem occasionally with other companies dolls (especially the big ol’ noggins of some Volks) and what I do is to slit the elastic at the back and sew a little extension piece of elastic in there. Works like a charm. It’s so hard to find the perfect color and style of wig, and once you do you sometimes just have to make it work!

 

Oooh thank you! I'm glad to know something works.

 

I took my Delia (Ada) out today for some pictures:



I should redo her face-up since then it'll be easier to match with the regular version and because it has chipped a little on her nose. :') she was supposed to be blonde but like all the dolls I have actual plans for she had her own plans instead and rejected mine and now she has dark hair instead.

 

She ‘s really pretty. I’ve always had a soft spot for dolls with sleeping eyes. They have such a quiet presence about them, like they’re deep in thought or contemplation. With her lovely dark lashes I can understand why she refused your attempts to make her a blonde. She certainly makes a stunning brunette!

 

I'm so excited since tomorrow is finally the day I can place my order for Teresa (full set )!
However I am still pondering which of the body versions I should order. Any last minute recommendations? If not I will probably go with "New Body Ver.II".

 

@Miusong It depends on wether you prefer posing or the look of the body. The ver. 1 body is the best at posing, it's very stable and more effective mobility joints in the thighs. It's also easier to make it sit. Ver. 2 new body looks prettier and poses decently, it's a bit harder to have it sit, it's a little bit kicky and the mobility joints don't allow for the doll to draw her knees to her chest, like the ver. 1 body does.
It's a matter of preference, I have both and I like both.

 

After a lengthy layaway (darn budgets anyway) my lovely Macarena fullset has finally arrived. I’m absolutely awestruck! She’s everything I’d dreamed she’d be from the first moment I first laid eyes on this sculpt. I just had to get her fullset because it was positively amazing and perfect for my character as a rosary keeper. I’ve named her Rosarie (not surprisingly.) She is my first MYou doll, and her new 3-part body was certainly a delightful surprise…the resin is so smooth and the joints are so fluid in the way they move. This girl just easily flows into any position I put her into, and when I absent-mindedly set her aside while I straightened up her display area, I then glanced over and she was already in the perfect kneeling position I was wanting to display her in all on her own. Yep, amazing indeed!

 

Question: what do you guys do for finding shoes?? I thought Minifees were hard to find shoes for, but I ordered Ling Wei on a type 3 body, and her feet are so narrow!
