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 3

Jun 26, 2023

    1. Took the plunge and ordered Sarah! After they raised the price for face up F for 20$ I decided it has to be good! Together with eyes and hand blushing, and now my wallet will hate me forever. I can live with that :whee:

    2. OMG didnt notice there is Part 3 for Sartoria J boys and girls!

      I was wondering if anyone tried to put female SD heads on ther bodies? I assume SID from Iplehouse should fit but what about other? Like Dollstown 17 or Soom.
       
    3. oh.....:) what skin tone? what body? :celebrate
       
    4. :love great choices!
       
    5. I would be so curious to see rosewater next to peach cream after this latest batch. I almost thought Jay had sent me the wrong resin color, my two new peach cream dolls were so light!

    6. I only have 2 SJ ladies, a 2023 amber beige elf Luthien and the cocoa brown Maya.

      From what I've been reading lately, SJ skin tones are are not consistent, and that makes me cautious to make my next purchase. I'd like to order a peach cream but I'm afraid that the color isn't like what they have produced in the past. (not as rich) Thus, it won't be the same "shade" with another purchase down the line. Plus, buying replacement hands/feet the skins won't match. (worse than with a slight difference) :huh?:
       
    7. @susieagent99 I can say the peach cream is definitely inconsistent, my Peach cream Vittoria from two years ago isn't much darker than my new ones, but she's got a much yellow-er undertone, and there's no way she's yellowed that much in the dark room I keep them in just in two years haha.

      I ordered holding hands for my Sonoron beige Eleanor from two years ago, I'm hoping its not too large of a difference.
       
    8. I always like to order extra hands and feet with a new doll in case of cor changes
       
    9. Any idea about hybriding SJ girl head with another body?
       
    10. Girl heads are pretty small iirc, I think maybe an impldoll body would work? You'd have to check neck circumfrence, shoulder width, resin match, etc. etc. but that's all that comes to mind. Why don't you like their bodies?
       
    11. Iplehouse is very compatible with SJ women. I've put them on Iple HIDs, EIDs and SIDs. :)

    12. I was thinking about impledoll but somehow hesitate since I never saw their bodies in person. My main idea is maybe Dollstown 17 girl body would do - by neck circumference they look like they match, plus I saw Dollshe Amanda as a hybrid on that body and her head is even smaller then Sartoria girls and it looked nice. I’m getting a head in rose water which is very much white skin tone and I suppose pale skin tone of DT should go well.

      I like Sartoria bodies a lot - especially Aphrodite *_* but the head is coming in split and I need to shell a character that is in quite slim and I need something visually less sensual then Sartoria own body.

      oh so SID would do? This is such a great news, I was afraid that because they have long necks and it’s sort of widens towards the end it wil be too long and too thick. Did you need any modifications to put a head on new SID body?

    13. @Onkani - "oh so SID would do? This is such a great news, I was afraid that because they have long necks and it’s sort of widens towards the end it wil be too long and too thick. Did you need any modifications to put a head on new SID body?"

      Yes, they work. The nSID body has the longer neck (as does the HID body.) So if you don't want that look use the older style SID body. I didn't bother to modify in part because I switch out heads often.

      Here is a SJ Juliet head on a nSID body.

    14. OMG you're an angel - I can clearly see the reference now! Neck is long but very naturally long - a lot of fashion models have long necks. Your Arran is so pretty, omg.

    16. Yes, I just saw it. It looks like new doll will be a jester, cause I kinda see jester hat in the image. I saw image of sartoriaj tarot doll The Fool and I love it, can't wait to see a jester made by them.

    17. @Onkani - And I believe this photo of mine shows a Yvonne head on a regular SID body. This head "might" be slightly larger as she works really well on and EID body too.

      On the regular SID body...
