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.

    1. @Frillseeker I have several of the curvy and don’t mind the larger hips because I usually dress all of them in period outfits, larger dresses below the waist. I do have a form fitting dress on my Luthien and honestly love the way she looks with the larger hips. But, I love the newer slimmer body as well. (What can I say - I’m all about SJ!) All this to say, I’m quite sure your Yu will sell quickly. Good luck!

    2. @Ygraine3030 Thank you, Ygraine. I dress my curvies in big skirts, too. I found a wonderful outfit that I’m copying for them, flowy pants with an amazing cut away top. The top has big blousy sleeves. It’s so encouraging to have you say I’ll move her along. I’ll still have three curvy girls. In dressing these dolls, you just have to remember that their figures have to be flattered just like ours do.

      @Bluenocs I fall down Sartoriaj’s rabbit hole with joyous regularity. Jay’s work is so beautiful.

    3. I got one of the Halloween dolls from SJ and it's so WONDERFUL to have it sent so fast! It's so strange to get a doll that is still for sale! (I could get used to this! :wiggle)

      Anyway...Gray Jude who I named Ferrin.:XD:

    7. @AraraSnow - Thanks! I do love his faceup.
      @Ashemanu - Thank you! This photo is a color photo...but it looks like a b&w...:)
      @oriscany - Thanks! I tell you it is so WONDERFUL to get a Ready-Made-Doll about a week after being ordered! I could really get used to this turnaround.:lol:

      While I'm here and for those who wondered...here's a shot of the Gray Jude with a Fog Gray Phillip. Their resins are close but maybe the Fog is a tiny bit bluer.

    9. Finally, SJ has posted notice of their winter sale! And they also posted a teaser of the newest tarot, "Strength" on instagram! I am absolutely going to get her, she's gorgeous. Anyone else have winter sale plans? :D

    10. @ryuunohime I too love the new tarot! I admit I was hoping she would be a 1/4 doll, so I guess she is off my wishlist now. However I will continue to admire her beauty from afar!

      As for the rest of the sale....like 5 tarot dolls for the month of december!!!!!! I can't wait to see previews!!!!

    11. The new girl is lovely, but so far, all the sculps I'm interested in are not available...as they are "limited". :ablink:
       
      #71 luluna, Nov 11, 2023
    12. I love the new girl but I'm also really interested in what the High Priestess will look like. I wish Sartoriaj would drop previews cause in this case I think it'd let people make better buying decisions with so many new dolls dropping at once.

    13. @Wittyilynamed Yes!! I agree 100%. I really wish they did teasers at the least. I am very interested in the male armor set but I decided I would regret it if I didn't grab Malena while I could, especially since it's a "tarot death" set it might not be what I'm wanting. Guess I will find out on Dec. 20 if I made the right choice!

    14. Hi there
      I just got a new sj boy.. he's not my first doll but i decided him to be the last one (hopefully) Anyway..do you guys have any suggestions where can i find clothes for SJ73 body?

      ps. I ordered some clothes from Taobao already (uf75 size or yc77) and also commission some clothes too.
      but it would be nicer if I can find somewhere else that sell sj73 size

      ps.2 sorry for my bad English;-;

    15. I wish I could help but I don't have any Sartoriaj boys, unfortunately. Definitely let us know if the Taobao outfits work out, I'm sure others would love to have the knowledge!

      I also fell for her charms and put Malena on layaway haha. I'm hoping I don't end up loving the Priestess or I may have to get myself
      two Christmas presents! :XD:

    16. Well I'm eyeballing Mark....His outfit looks really glam pirate to me. And I think I like his sculpt. However....I will mull this over as I wait for the other releases. So much for laying off of the SD-ers....

    17. I do like Mark's outfit! And I'm considering buying the new 71 body by itself since they're actually letting us do so, but I definitely want to wait until they release the last one with the armor set before I order anything. That armor is going to be expensive and if I like it I won't be able to swing anything else!

    18. Mark´s outfit looks awesome. But even if I would be interested in Mark I don´t know if I would buy it, I just had to throw away pants made of faux leather cause of the material ripping. So far I am not a fan of the Xmas-sculpts and the new body. But I am very interested to see what´s still to come, especially Death!

    19. I'm just now realizing that the most recent body designs all look to be strung the old head-to-foot way instead of having the cross arrangement in the hips! (Did I miss anyone else mentioning it?) Interesting! I wonder if the Mintonette body will get a retrofit too.

      I managed to escape buying Malena, but it was a near miss. :lol: Hoping those who bought her are planning to share pics!

    20. I haven't yet had problems with faux leather (pleather?) (knock on wood....) but I only have a few pieces. I'm waiting for the day that they may start to fall apart... In the long run I would prefer a different material. For me, the clothing doesn't have to look shiny and leather like. I'd be ok with something different and more sturdy.

      One of the things that intrigues me about one of his photos is he has a ring on his pinky finger....
