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.

    4. Well it's Thursday here now, almost a week after getting that email from "Jo Ross", so much for the second promise that the doll was ready to ship. Have given up all hope and asked VISA for a chargeback on my card payment. Fingers crossed on that score, that's all I am hoping for as I guess I will never see the doll.

    5. Vonbonbon, I'm sorry :( Hopefully once your money is refunded and Briar is being produced by someone else, you can get her... or pick on up in the MP. I wonder about 'Jo Ross' also :?
       
      #265 kayjay, Jan 12, 2011
    6. Have now reluctantly filed a Chargeback claim with VISA, and filed out complaints with the BB, Ohio Attorney Generals Office, etc... This whole thing has been horrible.

      Just for anyone joining this thread late and wanting a Sleetwealth Briar, wait until Anita finishes production of her elf version and buy from her new company, Please Do Not Buy from Dollfair/Atelier Nouveau's websites at this point until this company clears the vast backlog of refunds it has on it's plate

    7. I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, vonbonbon! That's awful :(
      I am grateful for this thread, I was just looking into the lovely Briar doll. I hope youre successful getting your money back through Visa, or your doll safely home!

    9. Thanks gals, hopefully I will get my money back and can buy an elf Briar when Anita is set up at her new casting house :o)
       
      #269 vonbonbon, Jan 14, 2011
    10. Yes, please keep us updated about your situation. I am so grateful for these threads. I knew there was some issues with Dollfair with the Bimong sculpts, but I thought that was specifically dealing with him. I would have had no idea Dollfair was causing such further difficulty wih their other partnerships! I'm definitely looking forward to any news about Anita's own shop! I am having dreams of a tan elf eared Briar dancing with my lovely Victorian Winter Odette in my fairy garden.

    11. Just passing this along for those who like to sew -- Gracefaerie's Lilac Afternoon (for MSD) pattern fits Briar perfectly at 85 percent and about a half-inch overlap in the back (which I like, because it means plenty of room for velcro and not fiddling with snaps). I was lazy and didn't do the ruffled tiers:

    12. She looks amazing in red! Love that wig!

      I hope Anita is able to make her own doll shop soon. I have so many plans for Briar but I am not going to stoop to ordering from Dollfair at this point :|

    13. Hi, just to say that my Visa refund was successful so at least I got my money back. This was NOT thanks to Dollfair though. Please anyone thinking of ordering Briar, don't send your money to Dollfair/Atelier Nouveau, wait until Anita gets her now casting place ready and order direct.

    14. That's good news vonbonbon, I'm happy to hear it! I've been desperate for news that Anita will open her own shop soon O_O Dying for a tan elf Briar to join my ever-growing fairy garden.

    16. Dale Rae Designs makes shoes that fit Briar very well.

    17. I wanted to share; I found a clothes line that fits Briar really well -- Impdloll's Child line. Inexpensive, too. Impldoll's slim-minis (MSDs) are so slim that the clothes fit Briar. In the case of the boy outfit I bought, the pants are short so length isn't even an issue. I modded the jacket to be open, just to show off the cute trim on the pants. The pants ride low but are otherwise snug. Her top and her suede heels are part of the Ellowyne Wilde "Royal Pain" outfit. With apologies for breaking the one-picture rule; I really wanted to show how well this fits.

    18. Wow, that's great news! I LOVE one of the child IMPL doll outfits O_O but I don't currently own any dolls with their slim proportions. I do so wish Briar would become available soon :(
       
      #278 Anneke, May 15, 2011
    19. I agree. Briar is a lovely doll, and my daughter has been wanting her for a while. Recently, I was in a position to be able to afford her - and found out that there was all the trouble with Dollfair.

      Now I'm waiting, too...

    20. I just discovered (:doh D'oh, don't know where my head has been!) that Fairyland's ChicLine dolls are a compatible size with Briar. And here I've been searching for a companion for her in vain, not finding anything of similar size until now.

      Do any of you Briar owners also have a ChicLine?? I'd love to see pictures to see how they look together.

      Also, there's a new doll out of Australia - Alexis Rose (see news thread) who is the same size.. Wow, my Briar will no longer have to be lonely, I can get her a companion!!!
