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. @Bren You are right, these mintonettes are spectacular.
      @Anita2006 I agree, I like that aphrodite body as well. It's challenging to sew pants for but with the help of a buddy I got a good pattern done.

      My Sarah says hello. When I get organized, I'll post a picture of the trio. (I got three, and one day Jay will offer the SDs again.)

    2. I have same issues with pants skirts and slim dress patterns but I managed to correct Good eid patterns to fit aphrodite body.
      Your girl is very beautiful

    4. S Mathias from late November arrived. He is truly a stunning doll. I got him in the Zeus body and amber skin.

      Close up of the incredible faceup:

      I wrote to Jay letting him know how blown away I have been by the recent faceups and he shared that he has three artists, and the faceup is always done by the artist that did the original sample makeup for the photos, so it's always the same artist reproducing their work.

    7. @Ardent, S Mathias is gorgeous. The faceup is amazing and I'm glad that you found out that the artist is the original one. Congratulations! I just hope that my Mathias comes soon. I too got the faceup on an Amber resin, but I opted for the beard on the basic head.

    8. Did Zakozako do the Matias faceups?

      I don't know who the other SJ faceup artists are...they are good right now!

    9. Did anyone order a Fifth Season doll? I'm feeling kinda bummed. I thought I might be able to rustle up some funds to actually get one of the girls and I lost track of the order period (I've been working alot lately and the days are beginning to blend together....). So now I'm merely looking wistfully at the pictures.
       
    10. @Bluenocs - I hope some people got them! I want to see how they turn out. :)

      I was really tempted by Nadia...but I have too many outstanding orders from SJ currently going back to last July! :| So, I dare not order anything else till they start to roll in.

    11. Yikes @luluna ! That’s a terribly long wait - shades of Dollshe!
      I hope that you don’t have to wait much longer!

      And double yikes on the resin color changes. Did SJ not tell
      people they were changing the colors???

      The new female body is quite lovely - thanks for the photo @Bren !
       
    12. @Frillseeker
      Your Sarah is so lovely. I do like her outfit and Jewelry. MTN body are my favs. I'm soo glad that SJ decided to do them.

      @Ardent,
      what a sexy guy. Love his wavy hair and bohemian like attitude. Not sure why I think that, but that's what I see.


      They say a picture says it all. My SD Elf Juliet who I've named R'owenna.

      Misty Gray is a gorgeous color.

    13. @Bren your Juliet is very beautiful
      I hope so my Vittoria will show up till summer.
      I'm pushing my l9cal authority to exchange my current flat to ground floor property or bungalow as I can't handle back pain and bloody stairs. So really hope so she will arrive till we move out

    14. Thank you. I'm very pleased with her. Their face ups have been amazing.

      Sorry to hear about your back pain. I hope you can get your ground floor arrangements.

    15. @Bren Your girl is a stunner! So vibrant, especially with that hair. She really is lovely!

    16. Thank you. She came out just the way I wanted her. Yes, that hair is very vibrant. And lots of curls. :lol: Good thing she has those long ears, or you wouldn't see them.;)

    17. @Bren thank you, I hope so it will happen this year, as my youngster turns 2 and will go to nursery this September, so it would be a nightmare for me to manage twice in a day heavy lifting his buggy and himself. But as everyone in the UK, nobody rushes, and its a game of time.
      I got a notice from Sartoriaj that my Vittoria is ready to be shipped, and I have 1 last payment of layaway. Anyway, they said she would be shipped and would send me the last invoice.
      It was the shortest time to wait for a doll - 5 months.
      I'm happy to get her home. Hope so my high heels and middle high-heel feet will be shipped in the same box.

    19. He's pretty special, but he went a name changed between then and now because he took a different character direction than expected. it doesn't usually happen but it did this time. :whee:. He's now known as Xi. I love his eyes, they are great.
       
    20. This is a good sign! He has personality ;)
      Handsome Xi :3nodding:
