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. For me both Saras look pretty close to Fantyfoo face up, the only big difference I catch from the photos is eyelashes and eyebrows by Fantyfoo look a bit more uneven(which is done on purpose to make whole look more natural). I like sartoriaj eyebrows more tbh, but I think they should have made customers aware about that beforehand somehow, cause eyebrows change face like a lot.
      And artistic photo filter on fantyfoo Sarah makes a lot of difference too, it adds dreaminess to the whole look, if you slap similar filter on your Sarah photos you will get the same vibes for sure.

    2. @nancy_schroeder_ca No mobility joints ... now I wish I had chosen them. Then at least I could alter the direction of her legs when sitting. Noted for the next doll!
      @luluna Thanks :) Mainly I am unhappy with that stuff on her face. With a price of 100$ that is totally unacceptable. It puts me off from ordering from them again right atm.
      @Fyrwenn The Fantyfoo face up looks much more vibrant to me, the colors are more vibrant. But you are right, it probably is a filter. As I said, I was expecting something like that. Maybe Fantyfoo didn´t agree to a perfect copy. And yes, she would have looked alot different with stronger eyebrows.
      @susieagent99 Will see that I take a picture of her bald self tomorrow or so :)

    3. Oh man. They did Claudia and Madeline's death gowns. I neeeeeed them.
      I'm considering maybe getting Kate, not sure yet. I do wish I could get all of the thinly veiled Interview With The Vampire dolls though.

    4. Yes, I sympathize! I lova them but I keep telling myself that I don't NEED them.

      Update: They've added bundle options!

    5. That movie was such a huge part of my high school years. The scene that always stuck with me though was the way they did the color in the death scene with those two gowns. . . so I definitely NEED those. I can't decide if I want the vampire Kate head or the regular. I like her open mouth, but alsooo. . . the fangs are a little overbitey
       
    6. I asked Jay if the Freya dress would fit the other female bodies with a normal bust. He said yes, but since it was made for the corset bust, that would fit best. A pity, I would have loved that dress! Wasn´t there a time when you could order the busts separately? Can´t find it anymore.

    7. I commented in the Q&A section that it would great if they would offer the corset bust in the parts section again. I did order a corset bust for one of my dolls when they announced the discontinuation several years ago.

    8. I got the following explanation for the corset bust:

      If you are worried about the bustle dress, the dress fits well on any type of body.

      It is made with stretchy fabric and back is lace up closure so it fits on any body, any bust type.​

      We tried it on all the bodies and it fits well so you don't have to worry about it.​

    9. @nancy_schroeder_ca Got almost the same answer, but with the extra remark that it was made specifically for the corset bust so he would recommend that. That made me a bit cautious about the fit on the other busts.

    10. I think I will order both dresses. I do have a corset bust but she is a darker skin. I think I will get Kate but I may just order the dress and hope for dolls I like more in the future. I must make a decision today.

    11. I went ahead and ordered both dresses and Kate (human version) on layaway. I was going back and forth about it, but yeah, definitely need them. And I really want one of the girls on the new body.

    12. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Sartoria J, stop tempting me! I couldn't have Edgar. And, now you reached into your "limited edition" box to re-release a handful of sculpts. (You're so nice to us.) But, I'm not going to buy all of them! I shouldn't even buy half of them. I shouldn't have any?

    14. What are everyone's thoughts on the new David body? I like the height and the general shape, especially in clothes (or shirtless) but the wrists and ankles are jarring to me.
       
    15. Ian temptation is strong...for sure.:abambi:

      I don't mind the wrists...and as long as the ankles are stable, I don't mind them either.:XD:
       
    16. Sorry, I wasn't looking at wrists and ankles, just at Ian. I think I better stop.

    17. LOL, same here!! :mwahaha

      Pity his furcoat and wig aren´t for sale.

    18. Agreed! The ankles don't really bother me, as I would typically have them covered by pants/shoes. The wrists could get to me though lol. I'm thinking I might cave on ordering a Leo with this body, putting a short wig on him in the promo photos sold me on him working as a shell for a character of mine. This character typically wears long sleeves and would have his wrists covered, so maybe I'll be okay? :sweat
       
    19. I was thinking bracers or something could fix that right up. He's darned nice looking, I'm gonna wait though as I have other stuff I need to spend money on -sigh-.
