1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

On Dollheart Fer

Apr 15, 2025

    1. I still have a wine one that I put on my El! If I remember I’ll dig it out later and get a photo just for fun.

    2. Well, I can add what I liked about the Fer aesthetic - it was that there were so many different structures and textures, not just ruffles! also different kinds of fabric and decorations all combined in one outfit and all of one intense color, and all of these elements reflected the light differently. That made it visually soo interesting to me.
      It only worked so effectively because it was all unicolored, and for me white and black made the purest effect, but every color brought something new to the look.
      And also, the clever combination of historical/ ancient and very modern elements in how the clothes were cut made a perfect balance. Heh, I guess, I still love them...

    3. Edit: I have no idea why this posted without the message lmao! But I wanted to say that I loved hearing about your thoughts on the fer. It really does have that feel to me.

      Sorry I had a blank message sent earlier, I was being pulled in a lot of directions and I guess sent the message on accident.

      But I wanted to thank everyone again for sharing your stories. It made me remember what I loved about the community. I've been selling dolls here to pay for a car repair, but it made me remember about how much joy I had when I'd send a doll to someone from Dolls and Friends and the few months I worked for JPopDolls. I lived vicariously through everyone's joy. I haven't touched my dolls in years or had the money for the hobby, but I took out my Volks Mika and I want to give her a new face-up now. This community is a delight.

    4. Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts! :D I now feel as though photos don't do the outfit justice... I would have never known how intricate it looks in person with the tiny buttons and layers of different materials. It sounds quite cool! I'll have to ask my friend to bring theirs out next time we see each other in person. :XD:

    5. I could only find ONE photo of any of my dolls wearing the Fer and I died LMAO
      I don't remember what the name of that Elfdoll boy was, but I wished I still had him. He was wearing Ruru's dress.

    6. Is that an Elfdoll K?
       
    7. I would also agree that is an Elfdoll K, might even be the Special K version, which was the 1st release, a LE and came only in tanned. Might be just regular K, but that jawline is definitely unmistakably Elfdoll K. (:
       
    8. yes, that's who it was! It was Special K. I still have his outfit, but not the doll. I miss him.
       
    9. I've been in the hobby officially since 2008 (but looking long before that) and I remember the fers being SO popular, it was crazy! I never owned one because I really only cared about MSD boys at the time, and just could not understand all the hype at all. Like yeah, it's pretty! But the dress looked pretty easy to make to me, and I couldn't fathom why people were spending so much money on it?? Welll.....nearly 20 years later, I get it. I haven't seen one in person, but looking at pics and reading descriptions, it sounds the fabric quality was very good, and that there were a lot of details I didn't notice back then, including the jacket! And at the time, I only had handmade clothing for my dolls, and I've since owned several things from Dollheart...it's a very big difference in quality. :XD: It's a very pretty set for sure. Probably not something any of my dolls would wear, but I would like to see one in person just so I can fully appreciate it for what it really is!
