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.

    2. @luluna What a beauty! Glad we can start to see Claire owner pics.
      My outfit just arrived but it will have to wait for my Audrey's arrival before it debuts!

    3. Beautiful gal and lovely photo @luluna ! Do you like the 59 body well?

      I have a 71ATH dude to share having finally finished his uniform. He’s
      the Demian sculpt and is being my Lt. Tom Pullings from Master and
      Commander (and the 21 books).
      Also in the photo is my Iplehouse EID Luo as Captain Jack Aubrey
      and Feeple65 Rick as Dr. Stephen Maturin (with his pet sloth (etsy))
      I made all the clothing, bicorne hats, and Pullings’ sword scabbard.
      I need to find a better backdrop tho…

    4. @Robyn_in_WA Those are awesome outfits! What did you use to make the sword scabbard?

    5. Thanks @Ashemanu ! Hope to get the final dress uniform coat done to complete the set.

      Thanks so much @nancy_schroeder_ca !! I taped thin, stiff cardboard over the older
      sword, wrapped with sports tape, and then put LOTS of layers of a stiff ModPodge over
      the works. It took several months to finish the job - what with curing of the ModPodge.
      Then adding hangers and painting. I’d tried using Apoxie Sculpt the first time, but it
      ended up disappointingly too thick…

    6. @luluna Thanks for sharing your photo of your Teen Clair, she looks so dainty in her dress! :D

      @Robyn_in_WA I've commented on the IH thread but I'll comment again here because your work is just so wow wow wow!!!

    7. @Robyn_in_WA Wow all your boys are so handsome and look so great! I'm so impressed with how crisp the jackets and hats look! I need to learn how to make doll hats to go with an 1870s walking dress I'm making, I'm so impressed with yours!
       
    8. @Robyn_in_WA - Thank you! I do love the 59 body! And your Naval outfits are amazing! The jackets with the gold buttons are just jaw dropping wonderful. I love every part though. You Luo is so handsome.

      @sageyufi - Thanks so much

    9. Thanks again @sageyufi ! :)

      Thanks so much @Wittyilynamed !! The coat fabric is poly-wool challis and has lightweight
      interfacing on all the exterior fabric (lined with silkessence and cotton batiste).
      The hats were a result of a book I bought - “From the Neck An Illustrated Guide to Hatmaking”
      Tons of details and patterns too - I got the spiral bound version.

      Thanks so much @luluna !! It took a while to find the right size gold metal buttons! They add
      some nice weight to the coats too. All those teeny buttonholes…. I was SO lucky to have
      Lyn paint my Luo - he’s my absolute favorite male doll.
      I’d looked with great interest at the 59 body - and one day may opt for one of them! Pretty hands too!

    10. @Robyn_in_WA - I like the 59 doll hands way better than the other hands SJ has...
       
    11. That monthly gal, Maya, is so gorgeous - I wish she were offered on the 59 body.
      I am one of the people who still likes a bit larger head on a doll…
       
    12. Write to Jay asking if you can get her on the 59 body. ;)
      (I ordered my blue elf Stella on the 59 body)
       
    13. Thanks @susieagent99 I did that.
      We’ll see, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? :)
       
    14. thats right!
       
    15. Would anyone have any owner photos of Natalie, specifically of her side profile? She's coming to the Valentine's event and I think she may be the perfect other half to my Malena :whee:

    16. Hm do any of the Maya owners possibly have pictures of her with smaller eyes in, like a 5mm iris? @susieagent99 and @LyanneNZ I know you both have gorgeous Maya's, but not sure if you have any smaller eyes! I'm tempted by her but I prefer a smaller iris so I've been trying to see if I could find some photos, since I'm trying to be more mindful of my doll buying this year haha.
       
    17. Damn, this new Valentine collection is so good :D Natalie is so beautiful, I am not even a fan of Taylor Swift, but I would still get her if I had some extra money.
      And Daniel is re-released lol. I really wanted him and asked Sartoriaj to re-release him, with no conclusive answer and eventually just changed my character idea and went for raccoondoll instead. But I still do love Daniel(especially with tarot collection faceup, he looks so lifelike), If anyone gets him post his photos I'll live through you.

    18. Let me do that tomorrow. Right now she has the 14mm that I ordered with her last year. I do have 12mm acrylics, and some 11mm glass eyes.
      (the SJ eyes she has now 14mm Real Eyes(6mm iris)_Forest Green)
