SartoriaJ Mini Part II

It’s so prettyyyyy!!! :3

 

I think I’ve decided to get Elf Edgar in Sonoran Biege…I can’t stop staring at that face and the NOSE!
My only hang up is the body hahaha
Zeus bod is hawt but might be a bit too much in comparison to the others in my collection. Decisions decisions!

 

Perhaps the David body would be a good option. It's hawt but a little shorter than the Zeus body.

 

While I'm trying to talk myself out of more elves..................I decided to play with what I have for a bit. I really love Elf Leo, but am so sad he isn't offered with the awesome elven robes outfit in the MSD size. If that outfit/or something similar would have been offerend in MSD size I would have definitely gotten him. Now, I'm trying to tell myself I don't really "need" another elf................I do love Leo's sculpt though. While I'm trying to make a final decision got one of my Elf Jude's out for some new photos.

It would be nice if they offered outfits for the MSD dolls even if they were similar versions of the SD versions.

I ordered the 1/4 Isabelle and Aspen. I am still tempted by that dragon sword!

 

I've moved away from the big dolls for space reasons, and as I get older they are harder to move around and redress for photos etc. It's the whole look I like about Leo though, so trying to figure out if have a look in mind of my own to give him if I were to go ahead and get the Mini version. Had they offered outfits for the mini's similar to what they did for the big dolls I would have definitely ordered him.

 

@JinCIncy I have the same reasons for moving to the smaller dolls! I do have an MSD Leo on order with my David body.

 

I did it y’all, I ordered!!!
Now the wait begins…

 

I finally hit the buy button on the MSD Elf Leo on the David body. I don't have a doll on the David body yet, and really wanted to try it, and I do really like that Elf Leo sculpt. I was afraid I would regret it later if I didn't hit the buy button.

 

Yay! I'm so glad to see so many people are ordering elves! I did too, the Elf S Edgar in Sonoran Beige. I also ordered the David body, I'm very excited!

 

Congratulations to everyone who ordered!!! Can't wait to see your dolls when they arrive!

 

I’m really excited to see them all too! did anyone else order a faceup? I think the faceup looked so pretty I couldn’t resist.

 

I almost always get Sartoria faceups! They are so well done and it's nice to have a doll be complete on arrival!

 

Congratulations to all who ordered! As much as I wanted to……really really wanted to I’d have been getting one just for the sake of it and not because it’s what I truly had my heart set on. I shall wait for Joshua, maybe also Matias too as he is rather yummy.

 

Hi - an update on the topic.
Even after the 3rd order and delivery from SartoriaJ, the promised spare parts - new elbow joints and tensioning rubbers - were not delivered.
And also with the lovely La Poupée Finn that I received today there is a similar problem :-( When I pull the left hand out of her forearm to remove it, the hook with the rubber band gets stuck in your left forearm when I put it back in. It doesn't go back in completely, and so her left hand stays loose. It looks like a broken wrist.
In the future, I'll be avoiding small BJDs at SartoriaJ. Too many quality issues! Also with clothing.
Sorry for the bad news.

 

@JL_The_Lion what kind of quality issues have you found with the clothes?

 

Simply too many - especially with clothes that are on sale. Incorrectly placed seams, poorly finished lace inserts, and loose fasteners when a "pearl" is held in place with an elastic loop. Or the elastic is poorly sewn, causing it to come loose and tear.
The last flop was the MSD Elf Naomi Full Set.

You can do whatever you want with the attached skirt part - it doesn't fit well, it always pulls diagonally upwards to the left.
And according to the shop pictures, there should be a gold gather trim at the top of the shoulders. It's missing from the dress.
Sorry - I lost my trust in SartoriaJ.

 

I checked my Finn and don't have a problem. I have experienced this with other dolls and usually the hook will go in if you hold the upper arm and pull on the lower arm.

 

Thank you for the update, I forgot to ask them, but it seems it wouldn't make a difference since you haven't received yours and you have more orders with them and I don't
And, I can't help myself, here are some more pics of my Matias, I made him kinda resort vibes golden outfit.

I was looking at Sartoriaj fullsets, wanting to pick something nice to him, but now I have doubts, I should just try to improve my sewing skills more maybe...
