Pear Shaped Trend....how do you feel?

For me, it depends a lot on the doll itself? Some seem like too much hip to handle and others are pretty well perfect. Imma have to get my hands on a couple and see how I feel after that lol x3

 

Iplehouse dolls are having a realistic body features, their hips should not consider large hips as you mentioned, unless you are comparing it to the ridiculously slim hips of dolls such like feeple 65 and such

 

I'd love to own a pear shaped BJD one day! Just not one with extremely wide hips.

 

I forget if I responded to this. I LOVE the pear sculpts. Especially since "pear" means so many different things. There's just something really graceful about them. The more variety of body types in BJD's the better. Pear is a great start.

 

Pear is the new black

 

I like the pear shape visually at least the Leeke World Mikhala but I would never buy one cause making clothes would be a nightmare. At least that is my opinion. They just make me nervous about finding them outfits and making them things cause their shape is so different. But I like them visually.

 

I LOVE pear shaped bodies ! I don't have any on my wishlist now, but I love this "Dust of Doll-like" aesthetic (because let's not forget that the Leeke art body is a copy of Dust of Dolls bodies), I think it's very fun, original and pretty !

 

I'm absolutely in love with them, whether the curves are realistic or really cartoonishly proportioned. As a 'pear-shaped' woman myself I wholeheartedly approve of this trend.

 

I have a DollPamm, not a Leeke, but she's quite pear-shaped, and honestly, I haven't found it all that awful to make her clothes. She's a little more uniquely shaped than the others in my collection, yes, but I know her top half is roughly YO-scale (a bit smaller, really), and her bottom is roughly MSD-scale (a bit shorter, though), and from that I can typically pull something together fairly easily that'll fit her nicely. I've even managed outfits for her from existing pieces, that have fit quite nicely, though that's been more a matter of luck.

 

Sorry I hope I didn't offend, thank you for the info though. I am still trying to learn to sew for the sizes I have and I am about to break into SD, I guess personally unconventional sized dolls make me nervous cause I am not confident in my sewing skills. I do love the pear shape and its not super pear shape but the Fairyland Moeline dolls have a wonderful curvy figure and I love sewing for them sometimes and sometimes not cause sizing can be a bit interesting

 

I love the shape of Leeke A and Doll Chateau, I think they are truly beautiful. Chateau was the first I saw and I have been in love with some of them for some time now, I just dislike how skinny some bodies are, it seem they got skinner with time. I specially like male characters with this body type so I plan to add them soon to my family.

 

No worries, I didn't take any offense! Honestly, I was concerned about finding clothes for Razzy when I decided to order her, myself, but have been pleasantly surprised that she hasn't been the challenge I expected, so I thought I'd offer up that information here as well. (And those MNF M-Line bodies are just lovely to work with, aren't they?)

 

I really like Mikhailas body, but I´m not a fan of her face. She looks so sad. She has been growing on me though, so I might just have to get her someday.
I´ve also been looking at Ninon from Lillycat Cerisedolls on the cartoon body. I love their exaggerated look, because they seem so different from other BJDs.

 

I really like Dollpamm, Cerisedolls and Doll Chateau dolls with pear-shaped bodies too, but don't like Leeke Mikhaila. I thinks it is either because I prefer dolls with exaggerated features, while Mikhaila has a more realistic body, or maybe I'm just biased because I really dislike Mikhaila's company pictures and these are the only ones I've seen.

 

I like the pear shape, though I don't own a doll with one yet. My only caveat is that I don't like the doll looking too 'young'. I don't like it if the face and/or bust look too childlike with the pear shape, it just doesn't seem to match.

 

I like wide hips, but if I can take an actual pear and place it next to the doll- and the doll is wider, I wouldn't care for it. The more natural the shape is, the more I'd like it.

 

I've always liked the pear shape for girls, but after shopping around for my first and only girl BJD, it finally dawned on me just how important it was that my girl has this softer figure. I'm pear-shaped myself so I honestly think that might have had some influence over that. Although I was on a budget, most bodies I found within it were very thin all around, often with larger breasts. Sometimes they looked so thin one could see their ribs or hipbones. I really wanted something a little fuller looking, and ultimately it was worth it to spend a little extra on a body that really suited my needs and I wound up with a very pretty Asleep Eidolon 1/3 body.

Very exaggerated proportions, whether it be an extreme pear, extreme thinness, and anything between, unsettle me.

 

I don't particularly like the pear shaped doll bodies, especially on females. I find them gross and a little weird. Maybe it's because they're a little more realistic than the usual hyper skinny dolls with big boobs...I like my dolls to look unrealistic. If I want realism I'll look in the mirror; my dolls are supposed to be a standard of absurd cartoonish beauty that humans can't achieve

 

Love it, it's adorable! I'm obsessed with crazy huge hips and thighs. The Leekeword N-type body is just so amazing, I hope to own it one day.

 

I wasn't a fan in the beginning. But, I recently purchased a DC Stacy and I love her! I also like Dust of Dolls and wish I could get one of the tinies. And, for the record, I don't have a pear shaped body. I'm an apple. LOL!
