Correct.
Also like Tom mentioned, there is the other extreme too. While some companies tried to make MSDs less child like by making them slimmer and giving them overall smaller proportions companies like Iple just beefed them up.

However, don't worry too much. It's an issue among all sizes. I mostly collect 70cm guys and you got at least three vague base sizes there (slim "Hound", semi-beefy "Uncle" and really beefy EID and co.), and the terms are odd and a weird mixture of badly translated term, actually only refering to a specific doll or a certain line from one company.
What fits and not fits your doll is something you will learn with more experience, after a while you just know what to avoid and where to shop.

For now just stick to measurements and comparisons. When one listing says "fits doll/company X", search for their measurements and compare them to your doll.
If no measurements/terms are available, ask the seller.
It also doesn't have to be a 100% perfect fit, just like with humans there is a bit of a range that is acceptable (and in some cases desired, if you for example prefer a tight/baggy look instead of regular fit).

Don't worry, there's no need to be too upset! What you have is actually a pretty standard size for MSDs. Minifees and those with similar measurements are indeed called "slim MSDs" and most Etsy shops and individual sellers will say in the listing if an item is specifically for slim MSDs. Most doll companies (ex. Dollmore, Luts, etc.) will fit your measurements, especially, like others have said, if you're not going for long pants, which could be a little short. (I've never had that happen on any of my average size MSDs, but it definitely can happen, so don't underestimate it.)

If push comes to shove, you can always ask the company or seller for the outfit's measurements and compare them to your doll. Clothes shopping can be a little hairy, but it's really not too bad. And like Ara mentioned, the Mystic Kids 1/4 thread will probably be super useful for you!

 

I'd also add that having a doll with slightly unusual measurements (Like being a little taller than average-) is an excellent excuse for learning how to sew. ^_^

Head down to the Crafting forum and join the sewing threads. There are free patterns available from several sites and the gang are usually more than happy to answer questions about resizing patterns to fit different dolls, piecing things together, picking fabrics and all that. Don't worry about being a sewing newbie or starting from square one. There are sewers of all skill levels here, and everybody had to start somewhere.

 

Hello!

I have ordered Lillian about a week ago from Alice Collections. Just a question on where you guys buy clothes from for her size (fairly inexpensive pls as I am just getting started)? Also, have you made your own clothes yet? Hand sewn? >.<
Thanks!

 

From my personal experience, the K2 clothes from Mint on Card fit this doll body quite nicely - the mini girl section for most things, the mini boy section for pants and jeans (her legs are REALLY long). They have some cute things, and many of them are in stock.
Also, if you're buying a wig for her, I've had good luck with Monique's Gold Label wigs in 6-7 size. A 7-8 will fit, but the amount of hair can overshadow her delicate little face.
Lillian is an adorable sculpt, and I hope you have many happy times with her.

 

Hi! Thank you so much I will check those out

 

Hei guys~
does anyone of you have a Souldoll Vito guy? I'm planning on getting one as a partner for my Mystic Kids 45 cm Boy and the hight difference between those two molds would be interesting to see~

 

Hi everyone!
I've been looking into getting a Mystic Kids doll (among other dolls) and while there's a few that are definitely beautiful and I would love to own; I've fallen hard for Muxue's sculpt. The problem is, I can't find anyone who owns her! If anyone knows of any Muxue owners or owns Muxue themselves, please let me know! I'd love to see owner pictures to see if she really is the one if possible ^^

 

Hi friends!!! I just received my Mystic Kids Lillian this week and I'm so excited to have her as my first BJD. Just waiting for clothing to arrive in the next month hopefully. She's so beautiful and I already want to add my next doll to keep her company! ;_;

 

congratulations! Lilian is my first doll too XD oh and don't forget to spoil us with some picture of her

 

Oh for sure! I do have one because I used patterns I found here to make here some clothes (jeans and a shirt!)

 

I just got a male msd body from mystic kids, the new one. The posability is amazing! Quality is really nice too, with no seams at all. I really like the sculpt of the body and hands too! Would recommend the new body from them for any floating heads around ^^

 

Reviving this thread a bit. I have a question for those of you with the 1st generation girl body. My Evelyn's right wrist kinda... scratches against the s-hook a bit when I move it. It doesn't have quite as much mobility as the left hand. I'm not sure why but I suspect that the elastic channel might not be as large as the other side?

Does anyone else have that problem?

 

That's such a good thing to hear, since i just ordered oscar with that body, Would you be able to post any pictures of the body and its posing?

 

@Hyakkiyago I'm with @Zymi00 I'd also like to see pics of that body. Especially since I've been waiting for about... 3 months now to get mine for a hybrid I'm hoping will work out.

@HoushiChan Not sure if you still are looking for an answer, but I do have that body. What kind of of movement are you talking about? And where does it scratch? I've just tried both wrists, but it doesn't really do anything - except sometime snapping back into the default position and not bent, like I wanted it. So perhaps your assumation isn't too far off. Alternative I can think of is, that maybe the S-hook is slightly bent outwards somewhere, thus scratching?

 

I'll see what I can do once I have free time! I have myou /daydream msd bodies to campare, so I can tell it's a great body to hybrid with ^^

 

Lillian looks so beautiful! I love her boots!

 

Day 103....still no Lillian for me. I'm so sad because I just want to start taking pictures of her. That said - your Lillian is STUNNING and makes me even more excited to see her.

 

I just ordered a full set MK Natalia (45cm) from Alice Collection! I'm so happy- this will be my first BJD- and so worried! They estimated it to take 3 months to get to me....

 

Glade, my elf boy.
