NABIYETTE fairy - 5.5cm

Hello everyone! I've been gone soooo long from this thread ! But I will be back soon - my Nabiyette went through some MAJOR changes. I think you guys will like. Anyone have spam of their girls?

 

Nikopiko: Happy to see you back! No new spam on my end...Dahlia is insisting she needs new clothes before I'm allowed to take photos of her again. And why? Because the Kelly dress she's in was seen in a photo by a local collector, and friend of mine, on her Puki (who it fits much better *laughs*) when she borrowed it from a friend of hers, and now says she can't wear it anymore.

 

She is adorable. I have never seen those dolls before.

 

Aww well I hope to see her in the future. I know how an outfit can make or break a doll, and they can be so fickle! As for my doll, she probably needs a name change... I have to re-do her lips before sharing.

 

This is my little darling - Luna. This is my 1st attempt at posting a pictures so I hope it works. Please bare with this newbie as I learn the ropes.

 

Aww, the photo isn't showing up - might just be me though. I'm glad to see someone sharing their girl anyway.

 

Okay, now that I figured out how to post a picture I edited my previous post to make the picture viewable. Hopefully, I won't get in too much trouble if I post one more pose:

Luna is a sweetie! These girls have such beautiful bodies!

 

ambshp - Luna has such a cute hat!! And I agree richila, I still think these girls have the best mature dollhouse scale body.

 

So, she's still a work in progress... but here's a photo of what I'm making my nabiyette into. Her arms are from a Dikadoll MianMian (perfect fit in the shoulder sockets). I'm still working things out with the ears and stuff - trying some mods. I'll link a second photo showing her magnetic tail. I used some epoxy to embed a magnet on her butt, lol.

Loving your girl's new kitty look, Nikopiko!

 

Wow Nikopiko! She is looking good. Her little paws are a perfect fit for her size. Make sure you upload another pic when you get her done. I would love to see the finished kitty.

 

Tonight has totally reminded of me of the one thing that is so horribly annoying about these little lovelies (and my Tinybear girl, too!). I have such a hard time sewing for them myself. I get frustrated VERY easily just trying to do so. And yet, I have NO idea where to go to find clothes that are NOT knit or crocheted and NOT Kelly (from the Barbie dolls stuff) that will fit them. Dahlia insists on a new ensemble, and her little friend has much more politely asked for one, too...and I was gong to give away the Kelly clothes both are currently wearing to a friend at a meet on Sunday as she has some darling little Pukis that they'll fit MUCH better anyway...*sighs* So...anyone have any ideas? Any patterns that have been come up with you are willing to share? Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started for this stubborn, demanding little fairy of mine? Or towards anything I can look into buying that will fit and is sewn? I may have to save some to actually buy anything for her, but at least then I'll know I WILL get her something when I give away the only clothing I have that fits. Not that SHE minds being naked. I'd just rather have cute clothes for her! Especially for meets!

 

Ayas, I really don't know I've always had to sew all of my girl's outfits. I keep an eye out every time I go toy hunting for a doll that looks somewhat her size... I was thinking of picking up some miniature disney princesses to try the clothes. These ones: http://www.disneystore.com/cinderella-mini-disney-princess-doll-set/mp/1320939/1000259/

they are 5" tall and have some snazzy outfits!

 

Ayas-Shadow, I haven't seen any patterns or already made outfits that will fit her yet but I haven't really looked too hard either. So far I have only knitted or crocheted clothes for her and those have either been from altering someone's elses pattern to fit or just making it up as I go. I have yet attempted to sew anything for her but I do plan to. However, I am way less skilled in my sewing techniques, but if I do create a pattern that turns out halfway decent I will be glad to share.

 

Has anyone tried Picco Neemo clothing for these dolls? If the size is close, a Momoko pattern reduced to 60% should fit.

 

Thanks guys. I'm feeling better about it all tonight. Dahlia found a Monster High top she really likes. It mostly fits. Just the 'halter' part that velcros behind the neck is too big. I'll likely remove it so she can wear it, then I just have to make a skirt to match. My Tinybear/Sleepingelf girl found an outfit from Monster High that fits her (a 'turtle neck' t-shirt and a blue striped skirt that's elastic at the waist, the ones with velcro closures instead are too big unless they're altered) that's not her style but will work well enough for the meet. After the meet I think I need to find some time to make some basic patterns for the poor girls. Or after Christmas. You know, when I have the time. Assuming I can FIND the time. *laughs* If I do manage to make some decent patterns, I'll share them with you guys here, too!

 

I forgot; http://www.minidolls.com/showpage.php?pageID=wishlet will fit the Sleeping Elf Moona body if you increase it to 125%-otherwise the sleeves are too narrow for the hands. I don't know the percentage for this body-but they are a good starting point.

 

If you're wanting something "factory" made try looking for Ty Lil Ones dolls or clothes on ebay or I've even found some in some Hallmark stores or Big Lots stores. They're similar to Kelly but slimmer and the clothes fit way better. Sadly the shoes are non-removable from their feet.

 

Just paid off my girl-I can't wait to get her!
