SartoriaJ Mini

Vittoria have now found her style!
I'm having fun with this new lady!!

 

I knit Naomi a contemporary sweater set for her fall honeymoon....

 

Working on Dominic's outfit...

 

I did a bit more work on his wig...

 

Vittoria in her new basic dress. I modified a bit the pattern I use for the Iple FID and I'm quite happy with the result!

 

So my Jude is now 'Order Status: Before shipment'. Anybody know what that means in terms of shipping timescale?

 

It means it's boxed up but not actually posted yet. Mine shipped either the next day or day after once it changed to that, if it helps.

 

My Elf Juliet arrived! I was so surprised by her ears, they really are quite large! She is warm ivory with company faceup and chest blushing. I happened to have perfect wig and eyes for her on hand, and once I had her ready for a portrait shot, I realized she strongly resembled my best friend! So I sent a picture to her and asked her to name my new elf.

Meet Roxie!

I'm very happy with how the faceup looks on the warm ivory, she does not appear overly pale and still photographs very well. Her face and chest both have beautiful freckles which are sort of visible in the photo. What you don't see is all the glitter on her face, its beautiful as well but the camera didn't pick it up.

 

Naomi that I purchased in the discontinuation sale back in April showed up yesterday. She's really lovely. She is in the warm ivory resin tone

She looks lovely! Congrats on getting her. I like her green eyes and red hair.
How do you like the outfit? I plan on buying it during the current event, would you recommend it?

 

@Amadiel the outfit has some pros and cons, and some things that's just going to be based on preference. For instance, it's kind of "sparkly"- the beads are faceted, and trims have shiny threads, the butterfly charms. These all make the outfit seem whimsical.

The pants fit well and the shirt has a button and ribbon tie at the waist....but oh my gosh those sleeves with all the tiny buttons are an effort to put on. The effect is lovely but time consuming.

The overdress is very low cut, barely covering her painted nips (the shirt is somewhat sheer), I'm not sure how it would fit on a larger bust. I have a SartoriaJ larger bust I could try it on if anyone is interested. Anyway, the little laces I couldnt do myself, I had to use a crochet hook. Tiny laces are pretty typical of SartoriaJ outfits so I'm not surprised.

Compared to the SartoriaJ Dryades set, I like that the sleeve buttons are more in scale. Compared to the SartoriaJ Daphne set, they both have very little bust coverage. (The Daphne set in particular I put on dolls slimmer than SartoriaJ just because it was too much cleavage exposure for me...but some people may want that look, nothing wrong with it just not what I was aiming for).

Overall I like the material, color, and the general silhouette but my crew is comprised of fantasy adventurers so sparkly and low cut doesn't fit in as well. Haha that was probably much more detail than you were interested in!

 

Thank you so much for the details. I bought this outfit and I got it coming so I really appreciate your commentary. I have the doll with bigger bust coming as well who is suppose to wear this. I'm interested in seeing it on the SJ larger bust if you don't mind doing so. Thank you again. Very helpful

 

@skyealloway Haha, no problem. Thanks for the detailed review.
I can't decide between the Oreades set and the Meliades set, both outfits have parts I like and don't like. I sometimes wish they would sell tops, bottoms and accessoires seperately, but I believe that would be too much of a hassle. I still have a few days left to decide till the event ends.

They said on Instagram they were going to release new MSD clothes before the event ends, so I'm curious for that.

 

So I've just discovered these dolls and I love so many of them but all the girls are sold out. Are they like FIDs and just go on sale every other month? Does anyone know when they will next be up for sale?

 

There is a set timeframe to buy the dolls. You have to buy them within the deadline. Recently there was a discontinuation of some face sculpts. Here is a link to read about it:

Discontinued DollsNOTICE - SartoriaJ

There is usually from what I've observed always a new release after the previous doll's deadline has ended. Right now the tarot series Eugene is on sale. There will be 22 tarot dolls. Here is a link to read on it.

THE FOOL_DEMIANNOTICE - SartoriaJ

There are 4 tarot dolls so far. However, there was a gap between the 3rd and 4th one. The 3rd one was in June 15th to 30th while the 4th one (the current one on sale) is from October 7th to 23rd. In between the tarot dolls there was a special event going on. It was the summer sale event. This event had many dolls in a gray color and other special events. Here is a link if you would like to read on it:

2022 SUMMER SALENOTICE - SartoriaJ

Now I think once Eugene ends there will be a new doll being sold named James, since that is the one that they gave a preview of recently. Their Instagram is a good place to check upcoming dolls. Here is a link:

I learned you can only get layaway on clothing and accessories if you order a doll along with the outfits and accessories. If no doll then can't put it on layaway.

I'm not sure if there is an upcoming female doll because there is no preview of a female doll.

@skyealloway
She is a beautiful doll. I regret not getting her on the 2022 summer event and the version you have. I kept deliberating on her for so long, but decided to skip both times. Now I have major regrets.

 

@Forever We Are Young thank you so much for all that info! Really helpful!

Also, I've really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful pictures of these dolls

 

I am toying with getting a Juliet and, like always, I am wibbling on it until the last possible minute.

 

I recently received my Elf Juliet and it is a beatiful face!

 

@nancy_schroeder_ca - Congratulations on getting your Elf Juliet! What resin is she in? (Hoping mine will ship soon too.)

 

She's Warm Ivory with the very pale faceup! I must get eyes in her!
