MYou tinies discussion - Part 2

*posting from the Mature tinies thread*

So I can't remember where I originally posted about shoes for the Myoudoll tinies but I figured I could do it here and in the Myoudoll tinies thread. Someone at some point had mentioned that Tonner shoes fit them. I went looking and was immediately overwhelmed and didn't know how to find the right shoes. I never saw a response but I kept looking... and looking... and I think I figured it out!

I found this page that lists foot sizes.
Myoudoll's feet are close enough to 1 1/2" I think that they should be able to fit shoes from Tonner Tyler and anybody else with a 1 1/2" foot on that page. I think Socks/tight will help make up any extra room that might be too extra.

So I did a search on Etsy for 16" Tonner Tyler shoes and found all sorts of stuff. I'm not sure how well they will do in heel shoes but I think I may try picking up a heel and a flat soon.

Sorry if this is old new, but I'm sure it can't hurt to be repeated + I'm too tired to try to look.

 

@kittydorkdork Mature tinies can wear Taeyang boots, they fit perfectly. The boots in the picture below are self made, though.

 

Tyler shoes will be too big. I bought 5 pairs of shoes that were supposed to fit and they were ridiculously big. Tyler and a lot of those dolls also have heel feet so the measurement is not by a flat foot which skews it :/
I did buy "Marley Wentworth" size shoes on ebay from 2Debsadorables and those fit just about perfect, but I also ordered shoes from Facets that were listed to fit Marley and those were also way too big.

 

Oh dang that's a bummer, but you saved me some money, thanks! I'll check out the Wentworth shoes.

 

Thought I'd post little Briar here since he got new boots today!

 

Very nice!

 

Do you know how much darker the coffee resin is compared to the normals? I've always been buying normal skin dolls for lack of options and I was thinking I might change, but I'm worried because this is new to me.

May I also ask if you have dolls with default faceups on one of the darker resin shades? I was wondering how much it'll change how they look. I tried painting a faceup on a tiny once and I'm not sure I'm capable enough, don't want to repeat that.

 

I would love to know that as well! I have seen a few of Vieruodis in tan and I think the faceup looks amazing on that color and a lot different than the faceup on the very light skin tone. I would love to see her in coffee as I just ordered one from Alice Collections. I had a hard time choosing between coffee and tan.
I have hunted everywhere trying to get an idea of what the coffee vs tan is like. I feel like the stuff I have found the tan looks quite a bit...orange. I am not sure if that is just lighting or what, so I went with coffee and hope I made a good choice!

 

There is a picture of Verodius in coffee on page one of this thread.

 

Thank you, I did see her, but they asked to have the lashes painted shorter so not sure if mine would look the same. I would really love to see coffee and tan side by side with company faceups. I have gone through all the pages and didn't see any. I am always looking for more photos, especially up close of the faceups.

 

Do you like the tan in person. A lot of the photos the tan seems a bit orange and I don't know if that is just my computer screen or the lighting. I would love to see the colors side by side when you get the chance

 

Well I just got a pair of Taeyang boots in the mail and I find them too big in the length. for the mature tinies.
So far a pair of plastic Ken doll loafers are what fits my Bettina. I ordered 2 wigs, I tried a 3-4 and a 4 size wig. The 4 fits but looks big the 3-4 was a tad too tight, so I put a slash in the back and secured it with thread, so increased by about 1/8 of an inch. I put a strip of Velcro on her head to keep it in place when I hot glue sueded her knees and hips. I think the volume of the smaller wig looks better than the larger wig. Keep in mind I opted for a shorter style wig. Also I found that patterns for Kitty Collier doll fits her from the mock ups I've made for fitting with just about 1/2 inch to length in pants, but the bodices and sleeves seem spot on.
Hope this helps someone in getting their mature tiny dressed.
I have tried a few pairs of cheaper eyes I had lying around, but they didn't work, need a very domed small iris to look right, so keeping her weird pink/ lavender looking eyes for now.
I am trying to decide if I want to makes a 1940's wardrobe or a 1960's for her. I think a 40's would be better for her figure since she has a large bust. I have an msd with a small bust that has more of the 60's vibe but I'm undecided. Being so small 60' would definitely be easier. What are some of you doing with your mature tiniest from MYou

 

All of this info was incredibly helpful, especially the wig, pattern, and eye notes. What size eyes were you trying? I have some 8mm eye molds; do those work?

 

I tried 8mm and 9mm. They both fit but without a very small dome iris they sit too far back in the eye socket and make a dark hole, lol. If the doll you are ordering has eyes take them out and look at them carefully before ordering any. This will hopefully save you time and money. The eyes Bettina came with are not bad, just not what I had envisioned. I'm going to wait on eyes for now and focus on the wardrobe, as I tend to get hyper-focused on one aspect and get paralyzed when forging ahead usually makes things fall in place. Professed perfectionist here, which can be unproductive.
I think I will make shoes so I can have what I want, I just like to have a complete outfit when trying to decide how to style my dolls.

 

I've been gradually building up my Vieruodis' wardrobe but there is one thing I am struggling with. Does anyone know where to find sweaters to fit? They can be oversized, but my frustration has been that the sleeves never seem long enough when they were made for barbie. I am a cozy sweater wearing gal, and my dolls tend to also wear a lot of cozy sweaters and I'm frustrated that I don't have even one for my myou girl. Any recommendations for stores that have sweaters to fit would be welcome!

My Vieruodis has 10mm eyes with a 3mm iris. I purchased them from BJDHolic on etsy and they fit her just about perfectly. I think the 3mm iris is key. Any bigger would have been too much in my opinion.

For wigs I ended up finding a maker on instagram that would let me commission one to fit. My girl's is from foxyboxesbjdstore on instagram. However, they don't have a myou head currently in their possession. They made the wig when a different commissioner had sent their myou head to the wig maker to create the wigs. I know that they did recently buy a Vieruodis from alice's collections though so they will have a Myou girl soon!

 

Thank you for these specific details, I really appreciate it. I want to go shop now, but promised myself she needs one complete outfit sewn by me before I spend anymore money. Not that I am limited in funds, but that I will continue to procrastinate if I don't set goals.
I am very happy with the wig I fixed to fit her and I have mohair to make a hard cap wig in the near future. I just hate naked, bald, shoeless dolls.

 

I just bought a second hand Alan from someone on Instagram couple days ago so joining the discussion here. He should arrive to me next week or the one after, my first mature tiny I'm already dreading painting his tiny face but I survived model delfs so maybe I'll survive him too?

 

Congratulations on your new doll. I really like Alan's face. I've been thinking about his head on a female body, I like his expression and I enjoy sewing for girls better than guys.
