Sartoria J Design Group - Part 2

Well, my SD MNT Vittoria is shipped with some extras. I ordered middle high heel foot's one pair high heels ( red) and ofcourse pair of eyes. Don't know how long it will take to arrive in UK but I'm really happy
Waited only 5.5 months

 

This is going to sound silly but does Sartoria do order periods for their dolls? I've been waiting for them to open up standard doll ordering for the ⅓rd size, but I think I just keep missing the period for it...

 

Actually they haven't began the standard dolls for the 1\3 dolls. They started having basic ones with the 1\4 ones. We still do not know what dolls are going to be basic for the big ones.

 

Right I've been so dang busy I forgot that it was discussed already, I hope they do it eventually

 

Hi, I don’t own any SartoriaJ dolls but I have a Dominic head, and I own some of their clothes (really love the quality). I assume their doll bodies are also great quality and I really love the Matias sculpt, so I think when they release him again, he will be my first real SartoriaJ doll.

 

Intrigued with the latest Tarot teaser Jay dropped, she's looking very Rapunzel-esque haha

 

My Iplehouse girl likes the dress, I hope something doesn't vibe with it so I don't have to buy it

 

From what I can see of it now that Jay dropped the full doll, its gorgeous but the color is a little too baby pink for me. The wig however will most likely be purchased haha.

I have a feeling this sculpt will go the way of Juliet where my first impressions are just sorta meh but then I'll see owner photos and be blown away by how beautiful she is haha. Sartoriaj is one of the only doll companies that truly tempts me with the "you'll never see this sculpt again!" schtick.

 

I really like April´s face, only those huge eyes are somewhat offputting for me. Maybe with eyes with smaller irises .. I love that she looks a bit older, not so very young. If only the eyes were smaller!

 

I find Jay tends to use 14mm where I would prefer 12mm sometimes, so I have a feeling some of the big eye-Ness comes from that.

 

April is exquisite, as is her costume and wig. However, while the pink Rapunzel theme technically "works" as a tower motif (due to the fairy tale associations), to me it doesn't really depict the Tower of the tarot.

Hoping Jay will release the standard "24/7" 1/3 dolls sooner rather than later, and that the head sculpt I'm wishing for, is amongst those released.

 

SD girls are my favorite (Don’t be fooled, I have a huge crew these days, plenty of MSDs, LOL). April is a dream. Maybe I’ll just get the wig and the outfit. I’m running out of room.
@earth.spirits i hope he releases those standard SD soon, too.
@Haven_Of_Dolls336 Do you really think you can resist that gorgeous chemise? Not sure I can.❤️
@Prinsessen The boy doll bodies are absolutely gorgeous, real hunks. My girls flirt with them something awful!

 

I just got my Vittoria on peach cream, high heels, red plums, eyes, and one pair to shear my warm ivory ladies. My waiting was only 5 months... I'm surprised in all ways. Tomorrow I will add pictures of her on Flickr and shear with all of you
She is on an MNT body with a bell type of bust. Just an amazing doll. I love her expression and face looks older not a very young girl. I gave her the name Elisabeth as she reminds me of Kate Blanchet from Golden Age.

 

So funny, I sent my face up artist pictures of Kate Blanchett as Elizabeth when she painted my Vittoria! Congrats on your new girl, love Vittoria.

Agreed, I love April and the Rapunzel theme, but as a representation of Tarot it falls flat for me. Feels like Jay just wanted to do a Rapunzel theme haha.

 

I really really waited for the representation of the Tower card. When I first saw April on Instagram I accidentally read "The Power" and was wondering what card that should be. Now realizing that she represents the Tower I am even more perplexed. She looks nothing like a Tower for me. Yeah, Rapunzel, tower, let down your hair, I get it. Nevertheless I expected something stronger, more masculine for that card. Oh well.

 

@Wittyilynamed it's really funny, Vittoria face have expression of Kate Blandshet of all sides. I just love how she looks.
I love mnt body as well

 

When the Tarot theme was first announced, my first thoughts were "how will the non-character cards (Tower, World, Wheel of Fortune) be translated into to dolls"? I had no ideas of my own, so while I'm not overly thrilled at a Rapunzel doll, I do think it was a clever interpretation.
Do any of you out there have your own ideas of how these 3 cards might be translated into dolls? I would love to hear your thoughts!

 

Tbf I am...unsure if the dress would fit her (Iplehouse nSID with the small bust) and I don't want to spend close to $200 without some certainty that I won't have to wrestle with it. My biggest concern lies in the arm length of the sleeve since I think Iplehouse put longer arms on the SID than what is on the ⅓rd girls in the Sartoria line.

 

i did some photos of my Vittoria. im not good on photography yet but tried my best :-)
you can see more photos on my flick :-)


Her name is Elizabeth and i love MNT body, it so delicate and looks very nice. Posing very well.
I got her eyes and shoes on same order.
