    2. Hi everyone,
      I am new to this thread, - after seeing my friends Saintbloom Charlotte and her too cute legs, that was it for me! Next thing I knew, I had somehow snapped up a Saintbloom girl of my own from the marketplace XD

      She arrived very recently, and I had time to give her a new faceup yesterday. Still thinking on a name, but she would like to say hi to all her cute friends in here :)

    3. So CathyM is currently letting me borrow her girl! I'm having a blast sewing for her but was wondering if anyone had anymore patterns for them besides the ones already mentioned? I would love to make her even more things that aren't dresses. lol

    5. To all recent posters, I love the way you all have done your girls. I haven't taken on a faceup yet but somehow feel more confident tackling my tan Betty than I have some of my larger girls. What is best to remove the existing faceup? I've ordered new wigs but there is a problem with the order so she is still bald, poor dear, and won't have her picture taken without her hairs. I found a Ken doll outfit that looks cute on her but have also been looking for patterns. A dolly friend told me yesterday that the Agnes Dreary dolls are the same size and the Dreary patterns should fit. Have any of you used these patterns for your Saint Bloom girls? I saw one on Ebay that had casual wear but didn't want to buy it based on what one person said. Hope to have Betty ready to show off soon? Gotta find out where her hairs went!

    6. I use this one for remove faceup: Mr Color Thinner 400. I bought on Ebay. I can recommend - a great tool.

    7. debbiep it seems that agnes and marley have the same size body and going from the measurements on this site. I think the patterns would be a little big through the upper body - I did a very quick conversion from inches to cm to compare the two and might have made a mistake. So double check my calculations!

      According to the DoA wiki SB girls = Chest 12.5; waist 10 and hips 14.5
      Agnes/Marley comes out at chest 13.97; waist 11.7; hips 14.6

      I know that Marsha at Perfect Patterns used to have free patterns available on the Doll Reader site and there was definitely at least one Marley dress. When Doll Reader changed their site she had them on her own site. I took a quick look and didn't find them but I seem to remember you had to dig around the site a bit to locate them (if your local library subscribes to an electronic database from Ebsco, you may also be able to access back issues of Doll Reader/Dolls online. I can access them through my public library).

      The other doll whose measurements you could check is the 12" Senson doll. I think I emailed RRG to get the measurements in the end and she is definitely slender and with a more tween body than mature. I know patterns by Jude has some patterns for her. I am at work - I'll check to see if I have the measurements still when I get home. They might be a little big again, but I think her proportions are closely aligned so it might just be a matter of reducing the pattern slightly, which wouldn't work so well with the Marley/Agnes patterns

    8. Honeythorpe, thanks for the info. I did find a Ken set that I like for Betty and she came to me with an incomplete set of clothing good for winter. The Ken set is a hoodie and pants and fits perfectly. But I am planning a beach trip in a couple of months and would like to have a few things for her to travel in. Also, I ordered a Charlie which should arrive anytime and you know how these girls are about their clothes! I will check out the resources you mentioned and see what I can do. Thanks!

    9. No problem - yes my charlotte needs clothes too - she is currently naked but her new eyes arrived yesterday and are a perfect fit and her wigs are on the way so I better get sewing so that as soon as she arrives, I can finally share her photo.

      A YOSD pattern I drafted as a simple bodice that fits to the waist LTF, fits perfectly on my SB girl, though it sits just under the bust for her so I'm going to make her first dress from that. I want to make her some more contemporary casual styled clothes though.

      I think you could use some Yo-Sd patterns like the ones from gracefaerie for a more casual wardrobe just adjust for length - also there's a couple of patterns from my own little world that I think you could make easily work as they have both littlefee and Lati Green sizes in them - the lati greens are the same height as SB girls but a bit chunkier. If you used the YOSD patterns as a 'width' guide but made things the length of the lati green patterns, they should fit really well. The bonus is, they're available on etsy as instant downloads. I know that the allovers and sail away (or names similar to that) pattern definitely have lati green size.

      Looking forward to seeing both your girls!

    16. Hi everyone :)

      I have a huuuuuge favour to ask! Would it be possible for someone to provide me with detailed head measurements for these girls? I have a girl on her way but would love to start working on a wig while I wait for her!

      I'm after;

      - Circumference of head (which I think is 4.8 inches?)
      - front of head to nape of neck
      - Ear to ear over the dome of the head

      Just like the image guide here....Wig Measurement Guide

      Any help would be fantastic and I'll give you many virtual cookies ;)

    17. Hi! No problem, but in cm
      - Circumference of head - 12.5 cm

    20. (e), is your Charlotte in tan? I just got a Charlie last week in the white skin and she is so cute. I'm having a little bit of trouble finding anyone who sews for this size but have decided that their clothes are so small I can probably hand sew them myself. I like your Charlotte's faceup.
