I have Cris and a Nelly, and they are both adorable. But, the hands are making me kind of crazy! I guess I am not fond of the "mitten" look. Has anyone had any success replacing the Mystic Kids hands with another company's hands?
I just ordered my mystic kid yesterday from alice collections. I chose the julien head with faceup and the girl body. Not sure how long shipping will be. While waiting i was hoping to find a name for her and make clothes but i havent found any patterns for her size. Can anyone help with that or share? Im a first time bjd mommy.
Yes, another Julien owner! My little one fits most YoSD clothes, so if you search for any patterns that are for YoSD you should be right. There's some cute ones on Etsy, though make sure they say YoSD not Littlefee, 'cause Littlefees are a smaller YoSD and the pattern may be a tad too small. Edit - I just remembered that this Etsy store has a bunch of cute dresses and patterns that should fit your girl
My little one is a boy with the default faceup, but the Julien sculpt looks pretty as a girl too. This is an old pic of him when I was trying to decide if I wanted him to have short hair or use this long wig for him.
oh my gosh hes so adorable!!!!! I'm looking for patterns out the wazoo. my dad is buying her I'm 26 and I knew I didn't have money for the hobby but I couldn't resist her. so handmade it is. although I'm screwed on shoes.
Hee hee, thank you. I've had this little one for a couple years now I've seen some patterns for shoes on etsy as well, and some shops have some cute ones that aren't too expensive. eBay could be worth a look too.
Sylph, your little Julien is adorable! I love his little outfit! HunnyBunny, congrats on your first doll! The Julien sculpt will make a cute girl. I have a Cris I made into a girl. That sculpt is just perfect for a girl character I had in mind. About shoes, I agree with Sylph, Ebay has some great deals on tiny shoes. I buy a lot of YOSD-sized shoes from Mimiwoo on Ebay, and she has very reasonable prices, and sometimes even has sales.
oh I love mimiwoo. she delivers quickly too and I ordered a pair of shoes from her for a friends doll that fit perfectly. I guess its just hard buying online cause I cant examine them. I may just go to ebay and search lowest price + shipping and stay on the first page. itll do for now until I accept I have to spend more. thank you!
Yay my julien girl is being shipped as of this morning. Exactly a month later. Does anyone know what the actual time it takes from china to usa is using ems?
Congrats on getting her! She's very cute! About posting pictures, I copied this from the Frequently Asked Question Thread. Maybe this will help.

Thank you so much! So far ive made her wig and all her clothes making my own patterns. Was hoping i get on the adopt a newbie train but i wasnt matched. Currently working on a blonde wig. It looks nice so far.and thanks for the info. Ill do that tomorrow.
Wow! For a newbie you certainly sound like you've accomplished a lot for your new girl! I've never even dreamed of attempting to make a wig, and I don't know how to sew, much less make a pattern! You go girl! Your Julien is a very lucky girl!
I didnt know the first thing about patterns 2 weeks ago but i get determined and research. The wig is yarn and fabric i found it on youtube. Also learned a few trucks with the sewing machine and smallmouth clothes. I would have been happily if all i got was scrap fabric and old tshirts. So the fabric doesn't change much but the style does.
Thought I'd share a little drive by spam of my Mystic Kids tinies: Nelly (Cordelia) and Cris girl (Willow). And, I finally got new hands for them! I found Doll Love hands for sale on Ebay, and bought two pair immediately. The resin match is not perfect; the Mystic Kids are a tad bit pinker, but it's close enough for me, and I'm ecstatically happy with the exchange. Yay! New hands!
They are both just too cute @Rabbit-moon ! And those new hands look great too, tbh I'm not fond of the mitten hands that MK has going on either :T I'm a bad dolly mom lol, I keep meaning to track down some new ones but haven't had the time/money >.<
