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.

Sartoria J Design Group - Part 2

Nov 22, 2020

    1. That's my assessment of both of those colors. Iple has more hint of pink.

    2. Here is the brand new Sleeping Yvonne head in Warm Ivory on a NS Iplehouse body...the Warm Ivory is slightly more...white...(but a pretty decent match) how WI resin will mellow over time...I will have to wait and see.

      This photo has diffused natural light with a hint of indoor light from far away.

      I may try her on an Iplehouse WS body...if I get motivated.;)

      She is lovely eh?:XD:

    3. Just a minor note about Yvonne: after looking through SartoriaJ's measurements of her as 61Aph, I was surprised they listed her as having 20.3cm head circumference. My Yvonne was bought secondhand back when they offered heads separately, and she's clearly 21cm (that's why she looked to-scale on a 64cm body, and comfortably uses 14mm eyes). Now I am not sure if they shrunk her headsculpt to avoid a bobblehead on the 61Aph, but visually my Yvonne looks larger than, say, Silvia. (Using SJ's WIP of her against the sculptor's hand as reference, that is.)

      It is with a heavy heart that I've decided I will not jump in and compromise my finances by getting a new doll on such short notice. If SJ's going to do a mass discontinuation in the future, I do hope they give advance notice of at least two weeks, and not several days. And yep, for heads only options.

    4. @luluna Your Yvonne makes me squeal with delight :D She IS lovely!

      @AntarelNefertili The old Yvonne-heads were bigger than the newer ones. You are right, they shrunk them later.

    5. They shrunk all the original heads when they made their own bodies.

    6. @luluna beautiful ladies :chibi and Sleeping Yvonne is seriously taking my heart away awww

      I'm with @AntarelNefertili that I probably not going to buy any dolls for this release, it's way too short as last chance and my request of buying an additional head with a full doll has been rejected by SJ staff, I sometimes became a BOTH OR NOTHING person lol

      As for Peach Gold and Peach cream skin comparison, I guess I've posted this pic before but anyways hahaha, they are both made in November 2021, closed colors but Peach cream is one shade lighter than PG from iple, let's say PG is pinker. :dance

      And that's good to know that they shrunk all the heads as I have a Yvonne in old amber beige that was from their first release, I'll have a look lately when my sleeping beauty arrived

    7. About the shrink-down-thing with the heads.

      Did they shrink down the heads that were released on the 63cm body (like Serena, Naomi and Sarah) again for the 61cm body?
       
    8. @Khlovera
      Will be interesting to see the dif between them.

      @greeneyed-soul
      I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if they did.
       
    9. Just sharing my sleeping Yvonne head, who arrived this week. I've put her on a Dollshe Amanda 65cm body in freshskin. It's a close enough match for me. The head might be just slightly pinker, but its doable for me. Her face up is really so lovely.

    10. @JinCIncy She is stunning, same as luluna`s. I am not a fan of sleeping eyes, but she is really beautiful. The face up is amazing. And I love that wig on her.

    11. @luluna and @JinCIncy both of your sleeping Yvonnes are gorgeous. I like the both.

      Mine came today. So here is mine as well.

    12. Did you do the face up yourself? It's absolutely stunning!
       
    13. The face up is the company face up. It is absolutely stunning! What a wonderful 'free' gift this head was!! I'm really pleased and here is a profile shot of her as I was having fun playing with her yesterday.

    14. @JinCIncy - @Bren - Your girls are just lovely!

      I do believe the Sleeping Yvonne head is a tad smaller...than the original Yvonne head. I don't know about the one that is being made now with the new body as I got mine when there was no body available.
      For those who are interested...she fits really well also on an Iplehouse nYID body in NS...as shown below.:XD:

      [​IMG]Sassy by luluna33, on Flickr

      I also tried her on a WS body...but I liked her better on the slightly pinker NS body. The WS tends to drift towards yellow....though...in photographs she looked fine.:chibi

    15. She is gorgeous and you have styled her so beautifully!
       
    16. No. Like Jackie said. It's a face up done by the Company. I wish I could do such beautiful face ups. But Alas. I don't have that talent.

      @luluna
      Thanks. Yours looks very nice on the nYID body. And you are right, my bofy has mellowed slightly towards a more yellowish tone than NS pink. That's the only white body I have and SJ WI seems very white to me compare to the other shades I've have.

    17. Woot! If y'all got your Yvonne heads then hopefully that means mine is also on it's way!!!!
      .
      Although she will be packaged with Vittoria.
      .
      I have doused my dreams of getting Yu. She was to be my next in line purchase, but I just cannot scrounge up the funds. Another plea for a last ditch effort at buying just a head.
      .
      Well, if anything this makes me practice patience.
       
    18. My Yvonne was added to an existing order but she arrived separately without any notice!
       
    19. Mine was too. Jay said that he/she thought we might all enjoy receiving them since they were done, so they were sent separately, even if on another existing order.

    20. After a lot of thought, I’ve also decided that the notice and order period, and the refusal to compromise and allow people to buy heads only, means I can’t order Yvonne like I’ve wanted.
