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.

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

Dec 21, 2011

    1. I'm quite a fan of pear shaped dolls. Kinda feel a kinship with them as I'm rather hippy myself,lol. That and the general aesthetic is just pleasing to me, like little teardrops. :lol:
       
    2. I love them! And I love small bust dolls too. (: I don't know why I just love that aesthetic too.
       
    3. I think they're actually very cute.
       
    4. i think they're cute. I really like Leekworld Ariana:D
       
    5. I LOVE them I actively seek out pear shaped dolls! There are less exaggerated ones like Dollzone bodies but I also love Leekeworlds art bodies too. Maybe it's because it's not the "norm" as far as dolls go, and that mainstream media goes crazy over hourglass it's nice to see another body shape being seen as beautiful and celebrated (this is coming from a slim hourglass by the way).
       
    6. I like the doll chateau ones a lot, they have a very interesting stylisation on the whole and those hips just fit it perfectly... for the others not so much, but I like that there is variety so all the people in the hobby can find their perfect doll.
       
    7. I am all for getting dolls with different body shapes! I think that is always excellent!
      And I find pear-shaped bodies pretty darn attractive, just in general. So for me, its a win-win!
       
    8. I've always loved big hips (especially on males), so I love pear shaped dolls. I wish more companies would do pear shaped male bodies though. I know it's not realistic, but let's face it, neither are some of the crazy hips they give the female dolls, haha.
       
    9. I think pear-shaped dolls are quite adorable! I would love to have one just to make clothing that size! I wouldn't mind owning one someday. <3
       
    10. I thought that I would never like that style. I am not really a fan of it. But I do have one exception, and that's DC Lilith.
       
    11. LOVE it! I have a Leekeworld art body doll, a DC Barbara and a Lillycat Lyse on the way! All ladies are pear shaped :D
       
    12. I think it's really adorable! Dust of dolls body is my favorite of the pear shaped I've seen. I also tend to like small bust for my dolls.
       
    13. I love the pear-shaped dolls and own three Leekeworld - 2 type A and 1 type B and I would love to own a Lilycat (France). I like to see artsy and different dolls it gives outlets for creativity.
       
    14. I am not wild about that look at least so far as my dolls tend to be pretty realistic looking. I like my dolls to have better figures than I do. LOL
       
    15. It just doesn't make any sense on dolls that have the faces of pre-pubertal girls.
       
    16. For me it depends on the doll. I like that there are diverse body shapes available, and I like the pear shape on some of the dolls that still have more or less realistic human proportions. The super stylized dolls are not for me, though - I just don't really care for that aesthetic. It also doesn't appeal to me on dolls with childlike faces because to me it is a more mature-looking body type.
       
    17. I find when im drawing cartoons I enjoy making the hips really wide and the chest really small, so im all about these new dolls. I think if someone was going for a more realistic look it obviously won't help with that but it does add to more characterization contour wise
       
    18. They're kinda pretty, but I don't like how small breasted they are. I'm not asking for huge breasts, but larger, more balanced.
       
    19. I absolutely welcome the diversity that they bring... and can't wait to see my DC Isabel in real life.
       
    20. They do not appeal to me at all.
