BlueFairy (Tiny Fairy) discussion Part 10

Oh good!
What are the rules regarding how many photos we can post? I thought it was one per post, but it says only one in this thread above, I've read it before and worried but followed everybody else's lead, now seemed a good time to ask.

Today's obsession is Morigirl Olive, I don't suppose anyone here ordered her?

 

Oh wonderful! When I first joined I noticed it, but I saw everyone else was posting more than one photo and told myself I must have misread it, when I read it again I thought it best to ask! I'd already started worrying I was going to get reprimanded retrospectively! ><"

 

Yay, new thread! Time for the traditional new thread spam! Here is Epiphany (Something Special Somang WS) with Chelsea (Junior Minoru girl) on a recent fall day!

 

New thread photo time!

Who's got a bow! by Skyealloway, on Flickr

 

I became curious about the head mold numbers again, and checked my Kevins head. His head has C1. ^^ I guess that's Cafe Bluefairy sign then.

Last_bus_home, Ah Mori Girl Olive... she's so cute. If I hadn't few Olives I'd definitely go for it!

reynardine, Epiphany and Chelsea are adorable, I love their matching outfits. ^^ So cute!

skyealloway, oh wow She's got the bow now! I think you did a good job with the outfit. ^^

Wonderful new thread again. Sorry for the... commercial looking photo, but there's a fast comparison with Minifee girl too. I'm sorry I'm not able to provide anything better at the moment and I'm still late about it. ^^; Seems like I'm lagging a lot with things before evening shift begins. These mornings are just stupid, can't find myself doing anything useful.

 

[FONT=&amp]Hi, new, new, new thread! Charming TFs moved me to join you, I hope you do not mind. You show there are so many lovely dolls and inspirational ideas ... Thanks.
This is my Eugene (Robin with Gentle body) and still I am waiting for Patrick on Girl body in WS and I have recently moved Muhui Louis. I have to do outfit for her before you start spamming pictures.

Hooooo hello new thread!!
raynadine Those girls are cuteee. I badly used to want a JR, what a perfect lil sister for TF.
skyalloway Great job with the bow and outfit. I got backache when I do sewing too *sigh* But surely feeling proud when they all done
xaya lol I thought about that too when I first got him! and wondering do we have a thread or somewhere to record all the data.
ash-key What a nice goggle Eugene got. I love the guitar, wanna own one haha. Muhui louis is sure cute

Hope this is not too late to reply to Merili from thread9
I don't have doll from other company but If you are interest here are comparison for TF dandy body and gentle body
and spam! I finished the outfits yesterday and took the photos this morning.

 

Ooh shiny new thread!

skyealloway oh my GAWWWDDD she looks adorable. You did an awesome job on that entire outfit!!!

 

Yay for new thread! I finally got around to giving my new boys face ups and making them clothes. Still waiting for eyelashes to come in for my Olive boy but my Robin, named Jim Sutter Nightshade, is pretty much all done. ^^

 

Thanks so much guys! That helps a lot! Everyone's dolls are so fab ahh I can't wait to get my Louis ;~; gotta wait till my bday though...

 

merili ugh I know that feeling all too well. Hopefully I get a decent amount of money for my birthday/Christmas next month so that I don't have to fork out too much of my own for bringing May home...XD

 

I always thought it was nice when my parents gave me those Visa gift cards. I never used them for dolly purposes - even though that's what they were intended for. Life had a way of getting in the way. Sigh~

 

Shiny new thread~~ :> I've got to catch up on the previous one -- been busy because of exams and packing everything up to fly home.

Reynardine Love their matching outfits! Those dresses look reaaaaaally pretty in your photo. /tempted

skyealloway Your recreation of the Who's Patricia outfit looks superb! I thought it was the original dress before reading the caption, in fact.

xaya I know what you mean! My lectures this semester were all in the afternoon but I didn't do anything productive in the mornings, either. More like I slept in until whatever time it was to go for class...

ash-key Love Eugene's outfit, he looks sort of like a feral sweater boy and the goggles are the cutest touch!

kOii Awww, the matching polka dots are too adorable.

Nihmo That angle which you snapped J.S. Nightshade at really reminds me of of an older version of May! Congrats on finishing your boys. :3

 

Ah, interesting, is that where I'm going wrong? I'm the other way around, dolls have a way of getting in the way of life... :P

Xaya she is so sweet isn't she! WS girl Olive has been the closest thing I've had to a grail doll since I started, but somehow I've bought an Olive V girl and an WS Olive boy but no Olive girl!! I hadn't gotten all that excited about Morigirl Olive when I saw her but I woke up yesterday morning totally besotted! (That's exactly what happened when I bought Evelyn!)

My new thread celebration spam comes in the form of my own dear Milo (for once!) leaning casually against my wall. I finally got to de-flicking his flicky wig so now he doesn't have to wear a hat, hooray! (Still need to trim it, it makes him look moody!)
He is looser strung than my other dolls so poses differently, I like the way he falls into positions on his own.

 

xaya Thank you! I know you are a wonderful seamstress, so I'm glad you think my work is good

ash-key Welcome! I love the style of Eugene! and congrats on your incoming girl Patrick and Louis!

kOii oh gosh my back and eyes were so tired. I don't know why I think sewing will be 'fast' or 'easy' because it always takes much longer than I think it will. I'm glad that I'm finished now

Miyukisetsu Thank you very much!

rainwaltz Haha thank you! That's a very good compliment to get ^_^

I'll do proper pictures this weekend ^_^. With the changing seasons, now it's dark outside when I get off work, so I have to wait to take photos. I wish I had a black wig more similar to the style of the Who's Patricia set...the bow sort of "perches" on her head because it's too big to fit nicely alongside the pigtails >.>

 

When is your birthday?

It's the cute little teeth isn't it? Thank you! Hopefully my eyelashes will get here soon and I can take the boys out with me and get better photos.

My goodness he's adorable! He does indeed look very moody. uwu

Speaking of wigs, I'm really not happy with the wig I got from Bluefairy for my Olive. The wigcap is visible from several angles. Where do you guys like buying your wigs?

 

I love new thread spam!!!! This is May's original wig from bluefairy. She is look different than last time

 

skyealloway I love the job you did on the outfit! I'm trying to learn how to do pintucks myself.

xaya your gang looks great in those jeans you made.

ash-key Your Robin looks fantastic with that scarf and guitar. I'm still trying to work out a style for mine.

k0ii I like how you switched out your Kevin and Gus--Kevin looks good on a dandy body!

Nihmo Jim looks great--what kind of eyes are those? I really like them!

rainwaltz I'm a big fan of Bluefairy sailing-style dresses/suits!

Last_bus_home Nice effect with the Milo pic. Baked Kyle is one of those dolls I hated missing out on.

nana_kaa Your May looks so cute! Love the yellow sweater!

 

Aww sorry to hear that, I have a Soom wig with a similar problem. I actually prefer Bluefairy wigs most of the time. I have a few Leeke wigs, but I don't really care for how they fit on my blue fairy gals - the bangs on one is far too long, the hair is a bit thin on another, and they all need a wig cap or they slide around. The wigs that Jpop sells are soft, nicely made, and fit nice, but tend to photograph kind of weird (IMO). While I don't have any for my blue fairy gals, I have some Dollheart wigs and I love those, I just haven't found any in a style that suites Danny or Tiffany. I'd be interested in learning about other wigs that people like too.

 

Popping back in again in this thread, hehe.

Last_bus_home your Milo is gorgeous

Nihmo my girl's wigs are from Leeke which can be a hit or miss. There are some that fit perfectly while there's this one wig that the wig cap can bee seen where the bangs part. The default wig that came with my Olive has no problems though.

 

Nihmo My favourite wigs have been from Leekeworld, they tend to run a little larger than some company's wigs (read: LUTS!!) but that's a good thing if you've got a sculpt like Olive since Olive head is bigger than say, Jasmine's head, especially if your Olive wears a wig cap. I have had the same problem with the cap showing on my shaggy cut and romantic curl wigs but I recently bought their bob cut and that is one of the softest and most well made wigs I've seen so it's hit and miss. I like Leeke purely for their choice of wigs and colours. Good luck!

Thank you everyone for you've comments about Milo, you've made the poor boy blush

Last night I dreamt my May's lips peeled off!

I think I could order Olive next week if she's available, or maybe this infatuation will wear off, I can't really afford her right now but I'm tired of obsessing!

 

Last_bus_home omg the obsessing is the worst part of waiting! You come up with all these ideas for the doll before you even have it and you can't do anything about it except just sit there and think about it...hahaha

I realized a few days ago that the May sculpt reminds me SO much of my little sister...I'll probably end up naming my May after her when I finally get her. I think "Morgan" fits the sculpt pretty well! I don't want to set anything in stone yet...she could end up being completely different from how I imagine her by the time I get her!

 

Have you guys seen the new TF boy? He's cute, but haha, he looks like his day just got spoiled by someone! I also really like the new SF

 

bronzephoenix, I think he is a BlueFairy, not TinyFairy. He is cute tough. And I have to say I really like the new Shinies too. ^^

 

Oh! My mistake! Well, we could always use more Blue Fairies, I suppose, but I must admit, I'm partial to TFs! Ah well, we just got more sculpts, yes?

 

So true! I mean, technically I could order her now, but I shouldn't be thinking of ordering her at all since I just bought my May and ordered my Olive boy (in WS so I'll have to wait a while) but I have been obsessed with Olive girls for so long, she's the closest thing I have to a grail doll but for some reason I haven't let myself buy one! Now it has caught up with me, I check she's still available about a hundred times a day!
Oh dear, this is tricky...

 

As promised, I took lots of pictures this weekend of my homemade Who's Patricia set. I put them in a gallery here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...(Blue-Fairy-Patricia)&p=10430245#post10430245

Here is a preview:

Scenes from Wonderland by Skyealloway, on Flickr

 

I have to agree with you on that! ;D TF's are my biggest love! I just sold a (offtopic in this thread) doll and I'm thinking which BF doll to buy with the money I got from there even tough it would be wise to save a little. xD

 

Yaaay!!! New thread! I'm loving the spam! I hope to join it soon!

 

Anya recently turned two years old, and I'd forgotten to snap a photo of her. My mistake! Here is how she looks right now.

 

...aaand that's what I'm doing too. ^^"

Shannon M. Anya looks adorable, I love glasses! More tempting Olive photos.

Oh, also, that new BF is Daniel if I'm not mistaken?

 

My Ever Yours sets finally arrived, along with my new option parts, a few days ago! I was so ecstatic, eeee!! They're just as gorgeous as in the pictures, and they really are so nicely made! The lining of the coat jacket, the real pockets and pocket flaps, the flippy collar and perfect fit of the blouse~ They're not perfect, and one particular thing that annoys me is the lowest snap on the blouse being so much lower than the last decorative button, so sometimes that part wants to gap open... But overall, I'm really pleased with everything!


DD: Ever Yours 2 by almyki, on Flickr

The new option hands and heel feet I got are, as expected, a noticeabley paler shade than the rest of her, but it's not too bad. I'll have to try blushing them to match the rest someday when I'm more motivated... but for now, her entire feet are covered by boots, and when she's wearing her school uniform the sleeves cover up the difference well enough. I noticed the texture of the pieces are slightly more matte and grainy-feeling than my doll too... I think perhaps after so much time handling her and trying things like body blush, it's made her resin smoother and shinier than before. One day I might need to try giving her a total body light sanding too, to make her matte too.

Oh, and on top of that, she got new eyes from SafrinDoll too! I've never really been into acrylics, but I wanted to try something different, because none of the eyes I've gotten for her so far seemed to be right. I really like them! They fill her eyewells nicely, and the threading detail that's almost impossible to find in glass eyes is nice. They won't be permanent though, since I still have dreams of trying Enchanted Doll urethanes in her one day.

I also really like that Morigirl Olive they have at BF now. I don't want Olive as a sculpt, but I think the fullset is realy pretty. Definitely 'mori' style, haha. I was happy when I saw that the outfit was also available for sale, but I doubt I'll be able to get it at that price! I mostly just want that flowey white cardigan for my future Emile boy -sigh- .

ali

 

Last_bus_home, yes, I think that is Daniel, O_O thanks for pointing that out! I didn't think about that before you mentioned it. I've seen Ever Daniel, my friend had him so he's quite handsome irl too. Gladly he is not the type of boy doll I'd want to have so I'm safe. I'm kinda hoping I could buy Emilie and Sam or the new mold SF... I don't think I should since I've already got Robin from Pupa*casa coming someday. ^^

Shannon M. Anya is as pretty as she was back then. ^^ I love her look, glasses fit her nicely.

almyki, thank you for the review of the outfit, fantastic to hear all the details. Dalia looks great in the outfit. ^^ Loving her wig so much!

 

Anya is looking pretty! The glasses really suit her.

And, I'm already set to get a Robin boy! The only thing I'm only thinking about is should I get a blank head or the default faceup?

 

gachapon, Mmmmm do you like doing face ups yourself or do you have a easy access to some customiser of your liking? If yes, then definitely blank head but if not, I'd go with the face up. Depends also if you wish to have the doll up and uh --- running straight from the start. Or do you like playing with the doll before you get some idea how should he look like? For me, it's so difficult if doll doesn't have a face up before they arrive. I've been practising few face ups but I honestly hate to do it. I've had my FL doll around for long without face up and MAN now I decided to give her out to face up artist becouse I just can't take it anymore (and the coating spray didn't want to spray when we finally got a good weather so I gave up). XP (I have four heads to give my artist already and I'm sure she's super busy, I might need to wait for a long time to get my dolls back).

 

xaya I've had all my dolls arrive to me with face up already. I admit I find BF face up as understated/subtle but I guess it is part of their charm. I'm still looking for Robin with custom face up to see how versatile he is.

 

gachapon, I have ordered a Robin without face up from Pupa*casa a while back. I wanted a custom face up for him too, so I went with that. I have a friend who had a Robin with custom face up. Too bad I've now pushed the beta button from flickr and seem not to be able to grab the link. >_> Sorry. edit/ HAH! I figured out how to grab it. Here's Robin with custom face up.

Here's my Audrey (Sarang ws), I changed her wig style few days ago. ^^ She used to have braids in her wig, but I've wanted to see how those buns look like so I tried them on. ^^ She's cute!

 

I usually get blank heads, but for Danny, my girl Patrick, i got the default face because i remember trying and failing to do a face I liked on Tiffany, my jasmine. Tiffany is still my only doll with a custom faceup. I dont have problems with doing my own faceups on other company dolls, but something about bluefairy dolls made it hard for me. I think maybe its the soft edges and the simplicity of the sculpt.

 

I always get dolls with face ups already, so face I haven't had the confidence to complete a full face up myself or send a doll away for face up. I think with Bluefairy default face ups being relatively subtle though, it is easy to add to them. I recently repainted my Bluefairy May's lips but left the rest of her face up as it was because I really liked it already.

Congratulations on receiving your order Almyki! I know you were really waiting for it, glad you are happy with the outfits!! I wish my set had contained the cardigan.
I ordered second hands for Evelyn when I bought my May and they are far more matte than Evelyn and than my new May girl for that matter so I know what you mean about the resin.

As it stands I have been far to scared to order another NS doll from BF (which is why I went back on my promise to only buy one WS doll!) my reason is that the first doll I ever bought had a mismatched head. I did not realise at the time, but her body was (is) lighter and yellower than her pinker, darker face. Has anyone else experienced this with Bluefairy? Since she was my first doll I actually thought nothing of it until much later on ><"

 

Thanks guys; Dalia has been glued to me since she got her new outfits, and with the new eyes, hands, and shoes too, it's like a mini-transformation for her! Speaking of which, she needs a new wig eventually too...

Last_bus_home, that's worrisome but good to know! I think I understand about what happened with your NS doll; they probably had an older head that they already cast in storage and a newer body and sent them together. I remember noticing that when they added the Junior doll heads to the Shiny Fairy line-up, they had new pics showing them on SF bodies, but in the pictures, the heads looked much lighter than the bodies. There was a bit of talk about it, I think in the SF thread, wondering if maybe it's because MinoruWorld and BF had different resin NS colors, and they combined pre-cast heads and bodies for the pictures. I remember being concerned that if I bought an SF with a Junior head, there might be mismatched resin colors...

In the end, I don't think I ever heard anyone complain about getting a doll from BF about it, until you, but that sounds like it means it can happen. But when I got my new option hands and feet just now, I had asked when waiting when it would ship. Their reply was that they were casting new feet to match the color of the hands they had in stock, assuming that I would probably want to use them together. Maybe it was a slip on BF's part, or someone has complained since then about mismatching resin so they've tightened quality control or something.

Well, I think if you want another NS from BF and are afraid of this happening, they should be compliant with any requests to make certain that there is no color mismatch. In that case though, it might take a bit longer than their usual speedy delivery if it means they might need to cast a new head or body to match what they have in stock. If/when I buy my NS Emile, I'll be sure to ask for the same now! So thanks for mentioning it; it's a good warning!

And a bit more spam to leave off on~

Thank you! Those are Souldoll eyes. I never thought I would use acrylics but I love theirs. They are flatter than most eyes and have a wider eyewhite so they fit really well and leave very little gap. They come in a wide variety of colours and styles. Whenever I need new eyes I check with them first. They photograph well too, me thinks.

Wigs and resin matching.
Thanks for your input guys! I think I might go with For my Doll. I have ordered from them before and was really happy with what I got. I will buy wigs for my Olive and DayDreamdoll Sally from them so that I can get the exact same colour but in different cuts.

When I bought my May boy I didn't go with the choice May but ordered the head and body separately from their parts section. His head was a bit yellower than his body. I always give my dolls rosy cheeks though so it's hardly noticeable.

I finally got Will's eyelashes in so that I could finish him up and I also made him a simple hat to cover up his not so awesome wig.

Photobucket really kills the quality of the photos and makes them look blurry.

Also, here is a picture of him with his big sister Ofelia, my Sally, in case anyone wants to see them together. I think they look nice as siblings.^^

 

Thanks guys for your thoughts on the mis matching, my mismatched doll was a choice Louis girl, I loved her, oh well.
I will make sure head and body match next time, it has made me very nervous of buying NS.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a Boy/Girl body comparison photo, I want to see how different they are.
Thanks you!!

 

[FONT=&amp]Thank you all for warm welcome.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]k0ii [/FONT][FONT=&amp]The glasses size are for SD and Eugene can wear them only on the forehead. I really like your dress with polka dots.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]rainwaltz [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Thanks for the picture, I want to make even more funny clothes for Eugene soon.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]Skyealloway [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Your photostory is wonderful and Alice's dress is lovely.[/FONT]

Reynardine Thank you, I'm very pleased. I think I still have a long time to experiment with the style of Eugene before I'll be completely satisfied with the result.

I could not stop until finished sewing a winter outfit for Emma. I have nothing against a costume for belly dancing, but it seemed to me that Emma sniffled in it.


PB190031 by nadobeh, on Flickr

 

ash-key She is WAYYYYY too adorable. I love her hair color!! Her entire outfit in general is super cute!

 

Miyukisetsu Thank you very much!

 

Awww Ash-key she's so cute! I wanted baked Louis to go with my baked Kyle but managed to resist! Seeing your Emma now makes me wish I'd had l hadn't resisted, she's so beautiful!!

 

Last_bus_home Their baked resin is sooo pretty...I see other companies sometimes and feel like it looks too orangy, but it looks pretty natural on BF dolls. I do wish you could order specific skin colors aside from just NS but that'd mess with their super fast shipping times. XD

 

rainwaltz Thank you ^^
Reynadine Haha I always feel that they both look so wrong at first with their original body and then swap!!! everything seem so right to me lol
ash-key I love the outfit!! look so fluffy!


I'm wondering if anyone ever try to hybrid a normal skin TF head with Little Monica (Little Harmony-MSD line) girl body or may be a suggestion on a double joint body that will fit best for NS TF head. I do love TF girl body though but still wanna try a double joint body for some change since my two boys are all single joint.

I don't find other doll company head mold that has a click on me. Olive girl is my number 1 wish list for now. I'm totally in love with BF head mold lol *sigh* What a hard decision to make when it's come to a new doll.

 

I've decided to get a blank Robin head. Doing his face up is a way of bonding with him, I guess.

ash-key your Emma is a cutie. Her hair matches her baked skin tone well.

kOii Go get Olive! ^^ Here's something to tempt you haha.

Last_bus_home: I always get dolls with face ups already, so face I haven't had the confidence to complete a full face up myself or send a doll away for face up.

I feel that way. :C Mind you, I don't have a BF, but I agree with you on faceups. I have a KDF Litchi from LUTS. She actually creeped me out a bit when I opened her. I don't know why. I think if I can send her to a friend for her faceup or try and attempt again to do it myself, she won't be as creepy to me. I had a character in mind for May, sort of an extension of myself. I do want a BF. Either a TF Kyle or a TF May. Ever since May had that blonde wig and looked older, I fell in love with her. I've always liked Kyle, but if I got one, I think mine would be genderless. I love how sweet BF makes their sculpts. For Rin (my LUTS Litchi), I had a character for her but then she "turned into" her own character. I *would* like to get another doll, preferably a LUTS or BlueFairy (*sigh* BlueFairy...!) but I need to pay attention to Rin. And congrats Almyki!!! I'm happy for you! Dahlia is gorgeous! I had a question for you lovely BF-owners though: how well do they pose? Rin poses amazingly, but she gets lazy and falls over like "Enh. I don't want to stand right now." Like a rebellious 8-years old. I really want either a Kyle or May, but for now I dream. How well they pose interests me. I hear they have bubble butts.

 

gachapon awwwwwww she's totally hard to resist XD

steampunk_saskia91 BlueFairy is a single joint doll so they don't pose that well compare to a double joint one. I mean the joints can't fold very far and they can't do suwariko sit but they do very good on normal sitting without a fall back, standing, looking cute or cool lol.

I think re-string is a must for Bluefairy dolls to get them do every pose more steady. When I first got TF Kevin out off the box he can't stand at all the strings are too loose. I even wire them because I have a problem with the standing especially a gentle body one (My dandy body can stand perfectly after re-string but I want him to pose a bit more better on the elbow)

You should check out The bluefairy group on flickr It may help you get more idea about how they pose. I saw a lot of owner photos that their dolls can do a hard pose like stand steady on one leg which I can't do that with my own dolls lol may be it's about balance!

 

My May isn't wired but I did hotglue suede him and he poses so well! Of course he can't touch his face or anything fancy like double jointed dolls but he's a lot more sturdier and can even crouch down if I try to pose him hard enough :3


Hyunchul's all ready for the cold weather! Too bad it's in the 70's today...

Here's a super old pic of him crouching down~ [x]

 

My bluefairy from 2009 I loosened on purpose, added kips disks to the shoulders, and wired the legs. She poses pretty good, but doesn't like to sit (preferring to flop back) My 2013 bluefairy poses very well - no restringing, no wiring, no kips. She sits just fine, stands well, and holds her arms in position good. Bluefairys will never have the range of motion of a minifee or littlefee, but I'm still really happy with what they can do. Particularly the wrist movement. Positioning the hands can be really expressive and now I feel spoiled by bluefairies; other dolls, like my souldoll and dollzone, can't move their hands very much at all.

 

I gave Ilya a pair of lashes today. They're actually human-sized lashes that I cut and attached only to her outer corner. It gives a gyaru effect.

Ilyasviel by [pabo&#9813;cheoreom], on Flickr

I'm planning on hot-glue sueding and wiring Ilya this week. I just bought glue sticks and I'll be looking for wires that would fit her. Will I just ask for electrical wire and the salesperson will know it already?

Also, I need help regarding shoes! Where do you guys buy shoes that will fit TF feet? The ones I bought from Alice's Collections are too narrow. I measured Ilya's feet and the widest width (does that even make sense) on her foot is 3cm. Most Chinese sellers of shoes (2079, ebay, taobao) has their 1/4 sized shoes at 2.3-2.5 cm width. I'm looking for casual or vintage style shoes, flats or heels are fine with me but no punk/goth/loli since it's not my girl's style.

 

gachapon : For the shoes, I have few of Happy camille shoes, it is fit on her perfectly . I think you can find some shoes you like in there.

 

The wire I used to wire some of my dolls was 14 gauge coated electric wire (solid, not strand). That's the American measurement, though. If you're not in the US or Canada, I'm not sure what that equals out to. And yeah, I definitely had to wire some of my earlier dolls, while the later ones were more tightly strung. Usually I'll wire a doll when I'm having to restring it. It really improves the posing and I like it better than sueding, which tends to make the joints stick out some.

 

You can actually try using some big plastic-coated paper clips to wire your BFs. That's what I do when I feel a need to wire my girl's limbs, and they work great. For the neck and torso, I have to hot-glue suede, because she has the same problem of tilting back when sitting if I don't suede the waist. With sueding though, she can lean forward or sit straight easily =3 . I also have tried kips and they work... okay, but not great. Maybe mine aren't the best size for some of the joints, because they keep wanting to displace themselves and get stuck inside the jointholes, haha.

I believe Leeke shoes fit BFs. I've bought a couple Dollmore shoes ages ago, and they fit too, though they were maybe a bit big. But it can vary a lot depending on the style of the shoe. For example, I've bought a couple shoes from Angell-Studio, on one pair just barely fit my girl by squeezing them on, while another pair of zip-up boots with pointed toes were too slim for her feet, and then a last pair of lolita shoes where the feet fit inside fine but the strap itself was too short to be buckled over the ankle. Personally, I've just resigned myself to shoe-shopping being a dangerous mission of trial-and-error XD .

And I'll just sneak in some more photo spam of Dolly and her new uniform~

Some great May boys being posted lately!

I've been neglecting my guys in favor of the girls, so today I took Sheridan and Chauncey out for a few pics in the backyard. Don't let the sun fool you, it was 20 degrees F (-6 C) out there!
