So I know this topic has come up more then enough times on the Minifee Discussion, so I thought a thread for it would probably be a lot better. (And Helpful to those who are curious) This thread is for informational purposes. Please post the following when you post a picture: Wig Size: Company: Style: Color: Minifee Sculpt: Additional Note: (only if needed. Like wig caps or any adjustments being made) So post away minifee owners with what you know~ (Mods please feel free to move/delete this if necessary)
A day out by Anya0918, on Flickr Wig Size: 7-8 Company: Leeke World (LM-002_M) Color: Honey Blonde Minifee Sculpt: Miyu Additional Note: Fits perfectly, no wig cap needed.
Wig Size: 6-6.5" Company: Leeke World LR-097 Colour: "Mixed Colour Only" Minifee Sculpt: Rheia Additional Note: This wig fits Rheia and Juri '10 but not with a wig cap. Does not fit Miyu or Chloe without lots of stretching. Recommend going 7-8 and trimming if needed. Wig Size: 7-8" Company: Leeke World LR-020 Colour: Sandy Brown (I think) Minifee Sculpt: Chloe Additional Note: One of my favourite wigs! Fits Chloe and Miyu well, wig cap not needed but nice to prevent slipping. Rheia and Juri 10 require wig cap, but still looks good. Here's a link of this wig on Rheia in Brown Carrot Wig Size: 7-8" Company: Leeke World LR-015 Colour: Natural Black Minifee Sculpt: Juri 10 Additional Note: Fits loose on Juri 10 and Rheia, but fits nice with wig cap. Fits Miyu and Chloe good, with or without wig cap. Recommend wig cap for Leeke's natural black as it tends to stain headcaps! Alternate Photo of this wig on Rheia
Wig Size: 7-8" Company: Luts Style: (KDW-31) Color: Blonde Minifee Sculpt: Shushu Elf (Same as regular Shushu for purposes of head size.) Additional Note: Over time, the wig cap has stretched so that she requires an elastic for the wig to stay on (wig is now approximately 4 years old). I can't remember if it was always loose, but I don't remember it being quite so bad as it is now. May want for a wig cap. Wig Size: 7-8" Company: Monique Gold Style: Paris Color: Carrot Minifee Sculpt: Sleeping Shushu Elf Vampire (Same as regular Shushu for purposes of head size.) Additional Note: Fits well without any cap or other help device. ((I hope you don't mind that I've added the style section. It seems everyone was finding a way to include it one way or the other, but I figured adding a new section would be the neatest way to accomplish that. Also, I'll try to get a better photo of the Paris wig sometime soon. Apologies for the poor quality of my camera/photos!))
Wig Size: 6-6.5 Company: Leeke Color: Limited carrot brown Minifee Sculpt: SP Chloe Sorry about the bad photography. I'll take better pics when I get some natural sunlight (this weekend, maybe).
Brink by ❥Crazy Kimochi, on Flickr Wig Size: 7/8 Company: Luts Color: Wine Minifee Sculpt: Karsh Additional Note: Brink is wearing a wig cap from Luts underneath his wig, I don't think it's necessary, but I like the fact that it doesn't allow the wig to slide around. Brink by ❥Crazy Kimochi, on Flickr Wig Size: 7/8 Company: CrobiDoll Color: Natural Black Minifee Sculpt: Karsh Additional Note: Same as above Zephii by ❥Crazy Kimochi, on Flickr Wig Size: 1/4 MSD Company: AngellStudio Color: Turquoise/Violet Minifee Sculpt: VE Chloe Additional Note: Works best with a wig cap (I use the MSD-size one from Luts) Zephii by ❥Crazy Kimochi, on Flickr Wig Size: 7/8 Company: Leekeworld Color: Pale Turquoise Minifee Sculpt: VE Chloe Additional Note: Works best with a wig cap (I use the MSD-size one from Luts) Zephii by ❥Crazy Kimochi, on Flickr Wig Size: 18cm Company: Happy Camille Color: Dark Red with Rosy Chiffon highlights Minifee Sculpt: VE Chloe Additional Note: Works best with a wig cap (I use the MSD-size one from Luts) Zephii by ❥Crazy Kimochi, on Flickr [B]Wig Size: 6/6.5 Company: Leekeworld Color: Ocean Blue Minifee Sculpt: VE Chloe Additional Note: [B][B][B]No wig cap necessary, but I keep one on her anyway because I don't like the wig to move around[/B][/B][/B][/B]

Wig Size: 7-8 Company: Leeke World Color: ChocoBrown Minifee Sculpt: Miyu Additional Note: It's loose on my Miyu's head. I had to staple the bottom of the wig cap to tighten it. I don't know if it's an inconsistency in size or if it really is quite loose because of the style. Wig Size: 7-8 Company: Leeke World Color: Maroon Minifee Sculpt: Miyu Additional Note: It's a perfect fit on my Miyu. It can slip off if I turn her upside-down, but other than that it stays in place. It's also not braided in the original model. I did it myself.
Future so Bright by KitsuneClaws, on Flickr Wig Size: 6-7 Company: Monique Gold Style: Ginger (It's old and second hand, so it's lost some curl) Color: Carrot Minifee Sculpt: Dark Elf Soo Additional Note: No wig cap, just the tiniest bit loose. I use velcro to keep it in place. ~*~ Ghost Sunny by KitsuneClaws, on Flickr Wig Size: MNF/MSD Company: MonstroDesigns Style: Fur Color: White Minifee Sculpt: Dark Elf Soo Additional Note: No wig cap, just the tiniest bit tight, makes it a little hard to get on correctly but there's little chance of it falling off.
Miss you... by DraconicMaiden, on Flickr Wig Size:7-8 Company: Leeke Color: pink cocktail i think, or the pink peachy one. Minifee Sculpt: Miyu Additional Note: Fits well, slides a little bit, if this were her default, i would most likely add a cap or band to keep it from slipping around. the girls by DraconicMaiden, on Flickr L TO R Wig Size: 7-8 Company: S&M Color: platinum blonde custom style Minifee Sculpt: Soo SP mod Additional Note: Fits like a dream, and the style is exactly appropriate for my dreams made flesh girl. Wig Size: 7-8 Company: Dollmore Color: blonde? Minifee Sculpt: Miyu Additional Note: it is parted in the center standard, i turn it so that it is a side part which frames her face better and allows me to see both eyes nicely! Wig Size: 6-7 Company: unknown Color: dark brown, chocolate Minifee Sculpt: Shushu Additional Note: fits perfectly, doesnt fit on the other girls at all. fit my breakaway boy when i had him. Bi-sen by DraconicMaiden, on Flickr Wig Size: 7-8 Company: S&M custom style(extended highlights) Color: acid green and bubblegum pink Minifee Sculpt: Shushu Additional Note: fits very well! Other wig. by DraconicMaiden, on Flickr Wig Size: 7-8 Company: Leeke Color: same wig as above Minifee Sculpt: Shushu Additional Note: as stated above, this one shifts a bit, the headband is keeping it snug bc shushu's head is a bit smaller than the miyu's.
Testing.... by KitsuneClaws, on Flickr Wig Size: 7-8" Company: LeekeWorld Style: LR-088_M Color: Sandy Brown MiniFee Sculpt: Dark Elf Soo Additional Note: No wig cap, sewn to tighten but just the tiniest bit loose. Used Velcro to keep it on.
May I please request photos, and comments about size and fit, for Monique wigs on the Luka and Mirwen sculpts. Thanks!
Wig Size: 6/7 Company: Monique Style: Paige Color: Brown-Black Minifee Sculpt: Mirwen Additional Note: This wig was too small to get on my Mirwen at first, but I got it on my Lati Blue's head, which stretched it out a bit and then it fit beautifully. It's a very nice, snug fit now.
IMG_6430 by Anya0918, on Flickr Wig Size: 6-7 Company: Monique; style Ginger Color: Golden Auburn & Golden Strawberry blond Minifee Sculpt: Mirwen Additional Note: Fits perfectly without caps or other fitting aids
Thanks Shojo-Chan and Anna. Your fitting notes have been very helpful. I know I'm not the only one expecting a Mirwen and looking for this information. Your photographs are very helpful too. I'm always amazed at how different the wigs can look on various dolls and in the hands of individual owners. In the pictures you two have taken the wigs look much better than they do in the online photos I've seen. I've even noticed huge differences between the photos used at FacetsbyMaria and at the Monique Trading Corp.
The Ginger wig on my picture was bought direct from Monique a few weeks before Mirwen's arrival and never worn. The curls are nowhere near as tight as shown on the Monique site. I find that with Monique wigs, the "official" photos are not very accurate, unless it's for their straight wigs.
I quite like the softer, looser curls. I would think that was a happy "different than shown"? So what wig did your Mirwen end up with in the end?
I like the softer curls as well. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it. My Mirwen is still in search of the perfect wig, sadly. I want a black wig for her, but have been unable to find the right one.
I do think the black wigs look great on Mirwen. Perhaps it's because of the colour of her eyebrows on the default faceup? I'll have a little more leeway though because I'm getting a custom faceup done and it can be made to match whichever wig I choose. I'm still hoping someone will chime in with some feedback on what fits the Luka sculpt best. I'm only getting one body at the moment but I will have both a modded Luka and a custom faceupped Mirwen to develop characters for. One of them might even end up being a boy, but I'm still undecided.
MNF Luka by SweetKitties27, on Flickr Luka (and also my Shiwoo elf & Juri 08) fits 6/7 from Monique, no silicone cap, etc. The wig pictured is the JoJo style. I think they are the perfect fit, a little tight which takes a tiny bit of effort to get on...but they don't slide around either. I have a few other wigs I can try on her in the next few days. But basically the Leek 6.5 are really tight, but don't slide around. I only have short boy style wigs from Leeke and with the 6.5 the shorter pieces do stick up a tiny bit. The 7/8 plops right on but then slides and easily plops off, so would probably benefit from a silicone cap. Hope that helps Wovenflame (and anyone else).
Thanks SweetKitties. I have a wig for my Luka now, and coincidentally it is also a size 6-7 Monique Jojo, though in the White Blonde/Bleach Blonde colour. 15 of 25 by wovenflame, on Flickr I also bought her a size 6-7 Monique "Ally" in the "Blondie" colour but I've put that aside, possibly for an incoming Mirwen head. Both wigs fit the Luka perfectly. Snug to get on, but then they fit without a wig cap. I find my Jojo can slip a very small amount when I'm adjusting the head position when posing the doll, but a small bit of silicone on the underside would probably fix that right up.
Haha, guess I was a little slow! Well, your girl looks great! And those are actually 2 wigs I've considered buying for other dolls so I'm glad to see pics of them!
Candace Mirwen by wovenflame, on Flickr Wig Size: 6/7 Company: Monique Wig Style: Johnny Minifee Sculpt: Mirwen Additional Note: Perfect fit without a wig cap.
wig.test by norahyah, on Flickr Please go to my flickr for full size. From left to right, top to bottom: First row: Leeke 6/6.5 Evecream, Leeke 6/6.5 Evecream, Leeke 6/6.5 Baby Pink, Leeke 6/6.5 Sandy Brown Second row: Leeke 7/8 Golden Rod, Leeke 7/8 Sandy Brown, Leeke 6/6.5 Baby Brown, Leeke 7/8 Baby Brown Third row: Leeke 7/8 Maroon, Leeke 7/8 Choco Brown, Leeke 6/6.5 Royal Gray, Unknown Fourth row: Sunny's World 6/7 SM-1, Sunny's World 6/7 SM-1,Sunny's World 6/7 JW-026, Sunny's World 6/7 SM-202 Overall, Leeke 6/6.5 fit perfectly, with or without wig caps. 7/8 would not fit at all, even with wig caps. You can position them to make them work in pictures somehow (i didn't put in any effort for that), but IRL it really just doesn't work. Sunny's World 6/7 are a bit hit or miss. The straight black one was a bit tight, can probably be stretched enough to work properly. The two in the middle fit perfectly. The Little Bo Peep one is big, but can work.
Just a friendly bump up! I'll have to sit down and pull out my Juri '11 this weekend and plop some wigs on him for pictures
Wig Size: 6/7 Company: Monique Wig Style: Kana Waves Color: Joy Minifee Sculpt: Juri '08 Additional Note: Fits perfectly.
Wig Size: 7/8 Company: Monique Wig Style: Jade Color: White-Blond #72 Minifee Sculpt: Ryeon Additional Note: The wig is slightly big and needs a wig cap or something to help hold it in place so it won't easily slide off.
Orlaith? by honeythorpe, on Flickr Wig Size: 6-7 Company: Jpop Style: Kana Color: Ice Minifee Sculpt: Vampire Woosoo Additional Note: fits perfectly - it's tied up in a bun and I love the way it frames her face. I also have a crobidoll wig for Orlaith which I'll take photos of tomorrow - it fits perfectly too Lotta Mackrelmint by honeythorpe, on Flickr Wig Size: 6-7 Company: Mudoll (glib??) it was the stock wig with my Secretperson Style: plaits Color: Carrot Minifee Sculpt: Mirwen Additional Note: Lotta Mackrelmint is an homage to Pippi Longstockings so I have put wire in her plaits to make them stand up. The 6/7 fits her fine - it holds on firmly, but I think a 7/8 would be better as it sits a bit high around her ears - the ultra long bangs help disguise this though. I am going to order a 7/8 so will add new photos of her when it arrives.
can i ask for kemperdolls wigs in minifee woosoo or chloe? sorry if i made something wrong making this post X.X
Panalya's new wig by wovenflame, on Flickr Wig Size: Custom in the general size of "MSD". Company: The Sleeping Elf Ltd, more commonly known as "TinyBear" Style: MSD Color: CUSTOM: Lavender tipped Bubblegum Minifee Sculpt: Juri '08 Fit: It's a little big. TinyBear gives instructions for shrinking them to fit though. I have found that putting a clear silicone "elastic" around Panalaya's head before putting the wig on eliminates some of the slipping.
This is a very helpful thread! Also...Overall, what Luts size fits Rheia best (I know it depends on the model and all, but I'm talking about most of them) ? Thanks in advance ^_^
I've bought a number of Ginger wigs from the Monique and Jpopdolls sites. The curls have always been exactly as pictured. Loose, soft wavy curls. Except the size 4 wigs, which are very tight curls due to the very small size. As for what fits minifee, I use mostly Monique and Jpop wigs and I've found size 6/7 fits them best. Size 7/8 tends to be just a tad large. Shaggy wigs have bangs that are too long, and often the stretchy wig caps are a bit loose. Never have had a problem with slipping with 6/7, though.
Stormlight, than I assume Monique 6/7 wig caps are strechy enough to fit f.e. chloe head and obey once being put on...?
Anyone wants to tell me what size of wig from which brand their D.Marcias wear? Mine wears a 6/7 Leeke wig that she stretched beyond recognition and it still sometimes plops off and Leeke 7/8 is too big.
@RedRibbon: Yep! Monique wigs have very stretchy caps. I had a Chloe and she wore size 6/7 with no problems at all. Stayed put and didn't slip. I can also say that Happy Camille wigs in size 7/8 fit well, too. I guess they're sized a bit smaller or something. The very long wigs slip just a little due to weight, but with a rubber band or headcap they should stay in place nicely. (That's the other great thing about Jpop/Monique wigs. Even the longest wigs are so LIGHT compared to other long wigs.)

Hey pretty girl by lilcricketnoise, on Flickr Wig Size: 7/8 Company: Leekeworld Style: LR-131_M Color: Goldenrod Minifee Sculpt: Rheia Fit: Fits perfect with a silicon cap but the weight of the Pigtails cause it to be a bit heavy and slidey. Pink is not her color by lilcricketnoise, on Flickr Wig Size: 7/8 Company: Leekeworld Style: Not sure which style Color: Peach Pink or pink cocktail ? Minifee Sculpt: Rheia Fit: Fits perfect with a silicon cap Trying out Brunette by lilcricketnoise, on Flickr Thistle 3 by lilcricketnoise, on Flickr Wig Size: 7/8 Company: Leekeworld Style: Limited W131 ChocoBrown Color: Choco Brown Minifee Sculpt: First image is on Rheia, second is on Siean Fit: A little large on both girls with silicon cap but negligible.
I never knew this thread existed - here are a few of my gals for ref.

Did this wig ship from the USA or from out of the country? There are a few i really really like! Thank you
All Monique wigs that I bought directly from the company shipped from USA (California, specifically) via USPS Priority.
Yes, I tried a Luts mohair wig in 6/7 and it fit perfectly: Karina by ☆☆Anna☆☆, on Flickr
I'm so new to BJD's that I have to ask.. can I have some links to these companies? I just can't seem to find the perfect wig for my girl, but these are giving me ideas. I really want to get a blonde or light pink wig, that's styled with loose curls, or something along those lines anyways.
I'd imagine that it will be too big, unfortunately. I had a Dollheart wig in that size and even Miyu, who has a pretty big head, was drowning in it. I wouldn't give up hope just yet, though - some wig styles are smaller than others. You can also try using a silicone head cap under the wig to help it stay on.
Does anyone have experience with DollWig wigs on their minifee? Just found them on Etsy, but the link they refer to for sizes doesn't seem to work
This thread has made my life so much easier, i was super worried about buying my MNF Chloe, Thalia, a wig that was too big/small... This now reassures me that the one i've bought will fit her nice and snug :3 Thanks! I'd love more Chloe Spam ^^
I'm about to purchase a silicon wig cap for my incoming Marcia from Dollmore. I am wondering if I should get the 7inch or the 7-8inch. Does anyone know which one fits better? I hope this is the right place to ask >.<
It should be. I think it will cover more of their head and dollmore 7/8 sizes seem to work well for the MNF's.
alright thank you !! i order a smaller one now to >.< i can give the other one to my other doll hehe they'll look like sisters lol
