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. As always, amazing work
       
    3. @MB Lilac That is wonderful! You always have such great fabrics and colors!
       
    4. @Anita2006 - Thank you!
      @nancy_schroeder_ca - Thanks. His shirt and coat are repurposed from thrift store finds, since you can't buy fabrics like that anymore. Same with his chain. I had that diamond trim forever (over thirty years) as well as the silk brocade I used on his shirt sleeves and upper surcoat. The only newer items out of my stash were the black leather fabric and clasps for his surcoat.

    6. @skyealloway Your husband is a wise man :D I am glad I didn´t buy the big Mathias now! Now I just have to decide if I want the beard or not ;)
       
    7. I am so tempted by MSD Mathias. He's gorgeous.
       
    8. Mathias is the reason I came to this thread. I am sad he is a human sculpt though.
       
    9. Ooh did everyone see the new 45Aph Jenice? She’s gorgeous!!!! I’ve been eyeing off the SartoriaJ dolls since they started but so far no sculpt has been the one to make me cave and actually buy one - but I think Jenice might be the one?! She’s so lovely!!!

    10. She's definitely beautiful, and exactly what I had envisioned when I bought my 61APH last year, so I'm really sad she's a MSD, as I'd buy those clothes so fast!

    11. I adore her clothes too!!! But usually I make my own clothes as it all gets too pricey otherwise. Unfortunately the exchange rate of AUD to USD is terrible at the moment so even the price of the doll is giving me pause.

    12. GBP to USD is pretty bad too, and then there's import costs and it adds up pretty quickly. I love Jenice's clothes more than Jenice's sculpt, so now I just have to decide about Matias.

      SartoriaJ really went all out for both Jenice and Matias' outfits.

    13. Well, I went ahead and ordered S Jenice!!!! :D Usually I take forever to decide on a doll so I hope I don't regret this, but I'm very aware of the limited time she's available and I have been wanting a SartoriaJ girl for ages. I ordered her with the corset bust, which I feel like no one else has - anyone else here who has one? I want to dress her in historical styles and I feel like it would really suit that, I really like the look of it! And hopefully I have a wig, eyes and shoes that will fit her here, if not I guess I can order once she's tried them. But otherwise I got her pretty much exactly as in the photo, with the ivory skintone, C face-up and corset bust!

      Also - anyone know what the wait time is like at the moment? I see they quote about 4 months but earlier in the thread people were saying it took up to 7?
       
    14. I am currently coming up on 9 months for a Jude ordered at the end of April which was when their mass discontinuation sale happened.

      I contacted Jay in early November and got this back.

      So it might be a bit longer than normal which is unusual for the company and they're clearly trying to get the wait time down but I can't say what their tarot card dolls dispatch times are like. What I will say is that Jay was very apologetic and very nice about the whole thing.
       
    15. Ordered Angela at the end of May and haven´t heard anything about her. Funny thing is I got Laura (SD) a month ago, and I had ordered her mid June. But the bottom line for me is, these dolls are really worth the wait.
       
    16. They seem to mostly be having problems with the MSD sizes and the 71ATH. So the SD sized women and the 47Mintonette body are shipping sooner.
       
    17. Ooh dear, that’s a long wait time indeed!!! Still, gives me something to look forward to. And I’ve waited a year before (pandemic disruptions) so it will hopefully be less than that at least!
       
    18. Well, good news, my Angela shipped today :D
       
    19. Ooh congratulations!!!!
