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. I can finally join in here. I painted my Maya today. She has been waiting patiently for many months! This is my very first SJ doll. Congrats @Loganberry on your recent arrival too. I hope you manage to find clothes and shoes for her. I have done nothing about clothing for Maya in all the time she has been waiting for a face up so she will have to figure out what to wear from my Iplehouse girls' stuff for now (which isn't that much either.) I liked taking photos of her and she seemed to pose well...

    3. @LyanneNZ Wow! She's stunning! The face up you've given her is great! I really thought they'd fit iplehouse clothing! What body is Maya? I just bought a rather expensive iplehouse set for Melissa, I really hope it fits. I guess if it doesn't I'll have to buy a big iplehouse girl :sweat

    4. She is the MTN body with the small bust. She seems tall and slender with long slim legs...that was my impression without having her side by side with my Iple-girls.I hope to have some more playtime later today and will check in if I take more photos. ;) (And yes, if that outfit doesn't fit you could always buy an Iplehouse doll LOL)
       
    5. @LyanneNZ Yeah, that's the same as my Melissa. I just assumed the measurements were similar because fid/SartoriaJ mini can share clothes. I guess I've learnt a valuable lesson :sweat. But I really love the outfit I bought so I really can't regret it if it doesn't fit.

      Eta: wait, I just reread what you posted and I thought you were saying iplehouse clothes didn't fit her, but I think you meant you don't have many iplehouse clothes :doh. Basically I need to read and post when I'm not in a rush :sweat.

    6. @susieagent99 Thanks so much for the pointers! Really appreciate it :)

      @Wittyilynamed Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind. I just purchased an outfit on Taobao after comparing measurements. The 1/3 was too small for the chest so I went up a size to 68-70 tall (unisex) fit. If it's too long I could just hem it, I suppose.

      Edit: Calling all Malena fans! She's back as Doll of the Month! One option is ready to ship in 3 days! :aeyepop: I can't believe this, she's my would-be second doll. I would prefer to get my first choice doll first... what to do...

    13. Regarding eyes, I prefer irises smaller than the 5 or 6 mm SJ typically use. Does anyone have any photos of 4 or 3 mm iris sizes fitted into a doll they can share with me?
       
    14. Yes, I finally got her back from my faceup artist and need to take pics of her new look! I also posted some back when I got her a few months ago with the company faceup, though I'm not sure if it was here or in the waiting room.
       
    15. @Wittyilynamed - Do you happen to have a full profile photo of your Melana? :abambi:
       
    16. Oh, looking forward to seeing her new face up :D

    17. @Wittyilynamed wow! They are both so beautiful. I've never been that mad on Freya but with that face up she looks great!

    18. @Wittyilynamed - They are both so wonderful! It's GREAT to see artist faceups on the dolls. It is rare these days to see new faceups not done by the company. Several of the faceup artists I used to use don't do them anymore. Both your girls look just fabulous! :whee: Squee!
