SartoriaJ Mini Part II

I think I've only ever received one outfit that I just really didn't like from SartoriaJ, and perhaps I'm just lucky but I've had no quality issues. My most recent outfits I bought on sale - Dark Dimension and Melisades. Both were just stunning in person. In particular the Dark Dimension set just blew me away with the details and fit. I have a few photos here:
Nessa Gal on Instagram: "OMG I think Geralt #sartoriajelfdominic is stealing this Dark Dimension set! He looks so amazing, the outfit is certainly a perfect fit on him! And TarMeena #jjdolllabhecena might just keep the Meliades outfit for herself....and sell you some Skooma while she is at it. #bjd #bjdmsd #bjdrpg #argonian #bjdelf #sartoriaj"

 

I have to agree about the quality issues. I am very reluctant to orders clothes from them, especially shoes. A few times now outfit pieces were simply too tight, or very difficult to put on (sizewise). I have boots for the big girls which are impossible to put on, I ended up giving them to a girl with smaller feet. Which is all very annoying regarding the prices of these outfits and shoes.

 

I haven't had any quality issues that I can remember. But I'm not a seamstress...so maybe I don't know what to look for.

@skyealloway - the Dark Dimension set looks amazing on your boy!

 

Hi - thanks for your feedback! I've bent the hook a little tighter, and now it doesn't snag as much. Before, I couldn't even turn her hand.
But my Finn still has a quality problem. The left femur joint is stuck in the pelvis.I waited four and a half months for Finn. And I didn't order a face-up. And then I get a “Monday production”.

 

Thank you—a truly charming guy. But the beautiful golden outfit underlines his attractiveness

 

I have had this issue changing hands across my BJD brands/dolls. It seems that the elastic gets hung up in the arm and if you gently hold the upper arm and pull down at the elbow joint it seems to readjust properly (at least that has been my experience). Like I said, I've had this happen across all different types of BJD brands, not just SJ. Hopefully that works as well for you.

 

Thank you for the help I bent the S-hook, reducing its diameter, and now the clamping problem is solved..I've been in the BJD hobby for 15 years now and have over 100 BJDs. I've only just started having these kinds of problems with SartoriaJ.

 

Thanks for the information, and I'm sorry about these problems with the shoes. I've only had positive experiences with SartoriiaJ when it comes to shoes and wigs.
I've only noticed one thing that bothers me about high heels. In the SD size the heels are too soft - they do not support the weight of the doll and bend, which can cause the precious BJD to fall over and dirty clothes.

 

Does anyone know how to contact SartoriaJ if needed? I reached out to ask a question to their PayPal email but haven’t heard back.

 

I always use the Q&A on their website. They're usually pretty quick to respond.

 

Im planning to buy my first ever msds from satoriaj. currently have 3 big ones from them but i was just wondering if anyone could help me with shoes. Im planning to purchase 3 girls in all 3 msd sizes and 1 51 ath size but i'm slightly confused on what size sneakers i should buy.

i really like these

Hmm, I don't really know about them but I just know you have to check the measurements really carefully, as they have quite a different size foot to other MSD dolls! I just bought some SD girls shoes (off Aliexpress) that, surprisingly, fit the boy MSD dolls - sort of. They're actually too wide, but fit pretty well with socks on. Other than that, the Tonner Peter Pevensie/Athletic boots fit pretty well, so you could always search for shoes on Ebay.

The girls are also hard - they fit some shoes designed for Minifee okay though. It really depends! Sorry I don't have other ideas, hopefully someone else does! And congratulations on your new dolls!!! Which sculpts were you planning on getting?

 

Looks incredible @MB Lilac !

 

@MB Lilac These are awesome dresses! Thank you for the tutorial! I must dust off my sewing skills!

 

All three gowns are so beautiful!!!

Now I'm very excited because I ordered both Vanessa AND Marie from the Versailles collection, and I can't wait until they arrive!!! I got them both with the corset bust, Marie on the Aph body and Vanessa on the Mintonette. I'm going to make them some Versailles style clothes too! I agonised over the decision for ages, as it's A LOT of money to spend at once, but I loved them both so much, and also sold some older dolls I didn't want (these days I just love the more realistic fashion style MSDs like Sartoriaj, so I'm not so into my older dolls anymore) - so in the end I did give in and get both! Now the long wait begins!!!!

 

Congratulations on your new Serena! And I know what you mean - I feel like this size is the one I've actually wanted my whole, 20 year BJD collecting time - but when I started collecting they didn't exist yet! And what I really wanted all that time was to make historical costumes for them, and finally I've actually started doing it - was never quite happy with the body shapes before, or the immature faces, or what I managed to make.

I know what you mean with the corset bust too - it certainly doesn't suit all eras! I figure, though, that I have all my other Raccoondolls and my one Sartoriaj lady with the bell bust for the other styles, and I really love how my Jenice with the corset bust looks in Tudor styles - (which I think is my favorite era for clothes) - I can think of enough eras that will work with that style that I wanted to go for it, as I just love the way they look!!! So I think I can do Tudor, Versailles/Rococo, Renaissance - all of which I love the styles of - maybe Regency? I don't think Victorian will work, which is a shame, but then I probably don't have quite the energy to make an outfit for each era for ALL my dolls, so I'm okay with some having more clothes than others!

Also one day I really should make an actual corset for my corset bust doll.

I'm really excited to see what you make now you're going to be doing more sewing for the fun of it, as you say! You must put so much effort into all your amazing photo stories, it must be hard to find time to do it all. I'll be excited to see what you do regardless of what it is!!!
