Volks DearSD 43cm Discussion Part 2

@rakelnaomi Thank you! I have more wigs to try. I finally got eyes out. Not an easy task. Sadly my 16mm are too small. Luna is beautiful! I love her dark eyes!
@Dybbuk Thank you! They are like little bricks.
As far as clothes go, I found they are similar size as the vinyl 43cm Zwergnase dolls. I have some patterns and dresses and will try on and post photos.

 

I can't tell what I am more jealous of... Your DSD or your boba

 

Oops, it was a hot day to unbox Nico and boba milktea is a must.

 

Congratulations on all the new babes!!!! I think I have hyped this person up before, but Ancienne is a dealer who also sells PDF downloads of patterns of her work. Several of her patterns include a DSD sized version, and you can click around on her website/IG to see examples of how she styled them for DSD. They are in Japanese, but if you have sewing experience + Google Translate, you can figure things out.

 

@Oliveoil Thank you! She is from the kimono release, and I think the eyes might be different from the My Dear Garden version? In any case I really like how dark they are, I think it gives her such a soft expression.

How did you go about removing the eyes? I still haven’t found a method that works well.

 

@demi.yu Thank you for sharing box opening! Nico is very pretty. I do hope they offer more DSD.

DSD is like receiving a new doll when I was a little girl. It is hard to explain, but DSD have such a doll like appearance...does that make sense? So many dolls now, are human like.

@snowgray Thank you for the website. I will take a look. I have some patterns that I adapted and might work.

@rakelnaomi I agree the dark is really pretty. It was an inspiration to try brown. Picture below.
I did the freezer method. It is not easy, but they come out. I left her head in freezer for an hour and used a sculpting tool to pop out the glue and eyes.

 

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have a Volks School C head they could try on a Dear SD body? Color doesn't matter, I'm just curious about the general fit/feel.

And a photo of Aspen for picture tax.

 

@Oliveoil Wow, she’s gorgeous with brown eyes! So sweet and childlike. I think this is my favorite look for her so far!

I’m still too scared to try and take Luna’s eyes out, but if I ever do I will probably go for the freezer method as well. It seems the safest.

@bellalupina Aspen is precious! Love the lolita coord.

This is the ”Snuggle Up” pajama set for Our Generation. Once I adjusted the elastic in the waistband it fit pretty well (except for the slippers of course).

 

@bellalupina Aspen is so pretty. I like the fun wig. The tan resin is a pretty color.

@rakelnaomi Thank you! I am happy with this look. The freezer method does seem safe. The eyes popped out but it was removing the glue that took time. She looks great in the PJ set! I love the robe. It is good to know she can wear Our Generation clothes. That means patterns will fit too. Thank you for sharing.

 

@Oliveoil Thank you! I think I’ll try more of the OG outfits. They will definitely be more of a loose fit on DearSD since there is a considerable size difference, but I think there are quite a few pajamas, hoodies and other casual styles that could work

 

Ohhh if they fit OG stuff, they'll fit American Girl!

 

boyfriend: what do you want for christmas?
me: *sends dear SD dollyteria link*

 

Time to reintroduce my Ushiwakamaru and Megohime!
Ushi's horrible yellowing turned out to mostly be his default face-up, so he's super fresh and much cuter now. He's also acquired a twin! Megohime was never meant to be a keeper doll, but we all know what happens when we buy a full doll with the intention of using the body for some other head.
So here's Ciaran and Roshan, who mostly go by Kiki and Lolly.

At some point I will change her eyes, but I'm not going to fight with the hot glue until I have to. I've had pretty good luck just grabbing the glue with a pair of forceps and pulling the entire blob off in one or two chunks. I will also be looking to get the girl version of the Dark Circus outfit for her, but I really love this weird SD outfit I got secondhand.

 

@rakelnaomi She looks adorable in the pajamas! I have an Our Generation winter coat outfit I wanted to try on my girl when I get her so it's nice to see that it will probably look cute.

@St. James What a great pair! I love the faceup on him, and the very unique outfit on her.

 

Just in case any of you were curious: here is an SDGr Lucia head (from the latest release) on a DearSD body.
The proportions are really perfect although I think her face up looks a bit off on the child-like body. Nonetheless, she's a cutie!

 

Photos of the Frozen DearSDs are out - to be first released at Dollpa

I'm not sure if I like the DSD face......... Will have to see a front photo to confirm though.
I guess someone is right that they are releasing the DSD and Gr separately

 

Adorable girls, but fortunately I am not compelled. We already have more DearSDs than we planned!
