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. @Frillseeker I am totally a fan of the dusty rose! Especially that jacket your Serena is wearing - love it!

      Managed to get a picture of Hailey today - "The Star" Laura:

    2. @Wittyilynamed @jessholy @Ashemanu, Thank you. I took a few days to craft the patterns for these fat-bottom girls! Aerosmith provided naming inspiration. Honestly, Jay does love his curvy ladies. I was stunned that he released the Mintonet body, so slender for him.

    3. @Ashemanu such a lovely lady.
      I like her face up.

    4. I really like the effect in historical/fantasy costumes that include corsets. With a number of my dolls, putting on a corset just obliterates their waist and they wind up looking like a tree trunk. Never for the Aphrodite body, she stays wasp-waisted! I also appreciate that the female clothing he sells is almost always lace-up in the back, so it winds up fitting on just about any female body of similar height.

    5. My elf Adrian arrived. Since he is a Christmas present (to me, haha) I am not unboxing him but checked to make sure he arrived undamaged, and I just want to share his fantastic faceup. I think Sartoriaj does the best in-house realistic faceups of any major doll company.

    10. @Anita2006 Thanks for your kind words :) Her face up really turned out well - by the time she arrived I didn´t even know anymore what I had chosen for her ^^
      @Ardent He looks good! SartoriaJ really offers an excellent face up service!
      @luluna Thanks :D And wow, your Demian! I battled a long time to buy him or not and in the end couldn´t decide. But he really looks awesome! Lovely boy! Wig and outfit also work both great for him :)

    13. @Ashemanu - Thank you! Yes, I understand...SJ has had some real temptations...especially for this holiday season! It's hard to choose what to get.

      @Wittyilynamed - Oh thank you! I really like him in this red wig.

      @Ardent - Thanks so much! The shirt and pants are from his fullset...I still have to put on his coat and hat! :whee:

    14. I'm both glad and sad I'll be safe from the Empress Jenice because of her size haha. The teaser pic Jay dropped on insta of her is gorgeous.

    15. @Wittyilynamed I feel the same. I have all the SDs I can manage so maybe could squeeze in Jenice. Nah. Resistance is essential. I sure hope I don’t like Melissa. She’s an SD mintonette and coming out on the 15th. Sigh.

    16. Hahaha, same. I have a rule I will not collect MSD dolls, Sartoriaj is definitely the #1 company that tempts me to break this rule. But I may not be saved from the SD December releases, we'll see!
       
    17. I already bought Vittoria on mintuanette body with face up and some extra like high heels and middle feet. Long waiting but I will be happy to see other doll in my collection

    18. @Frillseeker : Haha yeah I stick to SD's so even with the temptation I am safe from Jenice, but I am worried about Melissa. She'll basically make me decide whether I stick with getting two iplehouse girls this winter or 1 from Sartoria and one from iple haha.

      @Ardent : Haha I think I need to make it an official rule, I've bought a few smaller/msd dolls (almost all moved one now) and for some reason they just don't give me the same joy as chunky, unwieldy SD's. And yes Melissa may get me, as Frillseeker said!

      @Anita2006 : Congrats! My Vittoria should be making her way home from the face up artists abode next week and I'm so excited so I totally get it! haha

      @Ardent - Wow, that faceup is incredible! :aeyepop: I adore the painted piercings!

      @luluna - Ooh which body is he on? He looks fabulous. :)
