My girl fits into a lot of stuff that works for regular MSD sized dolls, but some of the fitted bodices on dresses are too small for her asshe's a bit chunkier around the body than most MSD. If the fabric is stretchy - T-shirts and knitwear, for example - it usally fits OK but non-stretchy stuff might not work if it's a close-fitting style. Teddy
I spent some time this evening sorting through January's clothes and sorting out a somewhat cozier outfit than the short batik dress and matching knickers she's been modelling for the past couple of weeks: (Trousers by Anne Morgan, jumper by me, shoes from JuJu's Dollymall) Teddy
Looks like I have missed some posts here. Not sure how, but thanks for the help about the 5Y body. Amazingly, my Mari 5Y came today! No shipping notice, so I was disappointed that she would not be here for Christmas. And then, I came home from work and there was the little card from the post office that I had a package from Korea waiting. You can bet that I wasted no time collecting it and she is absolutely precious. Just in time to play. Thank you DT!
*yippee* What a fabulous Christmas present!!! Have fun getting to know her now. I will add this photo in as it is Christmas Eve where I live today 24th December by Jane, on Flickr
What a lovely Christmas Eve picture, Jane. Yesterday Alice80 and I got together for a dolly day and I took my Dollstown gang to spend the day with her DT girls: Teddy
Oh wow! What a wonderful group shot! Your gangs really do love to see each other........who is the dressed in green at the front please? It that a Mari?
What great bunch! How happy everyone must've been. I think the little one in the green dress looks like Ganga sculpt? Which sculpt is the Girl in the chair with the long blonde hair?
We need Alice to answer about both. I think the one in green is a Ganga, but Alice would have to confirm it... Teddy
Great pic Teddy! OK, the girl in green is my Mari on the 7yr body, called Mhairi and the girl in the chair is a Seola 7 on the elf body...I call her Cecily... Yes, they do l;ike to meet up! Emma (my Ganga to the left of January) does like to catch up with her friends when they come over! (She also likes Jane's Penelope but doesn't see her that often...) To my eternal shame, the girls were in summer dresses when their guests arrived so had to get changed for the meet... Alicex
Thanks Alice.....and thank goodness for the meet-up so that the girls got into their winter wear! LOL! And Penelope send a *wave* to Emma!
Wow. I would not have guessed either one! Amazing how the same sculpt can have such different personality. Love them
We amazingly have had 2 days of 60 degree weather in the middle of February. Not good for snow shoeing but a managed to give my little Amy a face. Little Amy 2 by Martha David, on Flickr Haven't come up with a name yet.
hee hee, haven't been here for a while so great to see all the Christmas pics. Xiaoli, Amy looks really cute Here is my Seola (painted by OlesyaGavr), I didn't exactly forget about her, it's just I've not had time for dolls in ages so she has just been locked away in the dark. DT Seola 7 by Yve Hooson, on Flickr
I think she is gorgeous but *naughty* you locking her away for so long! I have a DT Daisy lad painted by Olesya so I an bound to like the way your Seola has been painted!
So glad she is out to play! She's so pretty, Vonbonbon. Meanwhile, My Mari is home and I am just thrilled with her!
Oh gosh Theresa she is utterly adorable! I just want to hug her............and I love how you have dressed her too. Have you decided on a name for her yet?
Teddy and Jane, Thank you. She does have that look that makes you want to hug her, doesn't she. Making more time for my dolls is high on my priority list this year. I am pretty sure that her name is Harley
I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, promise! It's been cold in Georgia the last few days, so Ganga5/Sarah Jane, is now wearing one of my favorite Dollheart outfits. Well, minus the hat...it only fits her bald head. ganga_dollheart by Melody Martin, on Flickr
Hello! I recently adopted a beautiful Seola and thought I'd share her photo on here. She is wearing a borrowed dress in this photo but I've since made her one of her own....I'm just not sure it's 'her', so she is currently waiting for me to fathom out her style! She will be known as Mouse.
I love your little Mouse Sharon.......she is so huggable! And I agree with Teddy that wig really suits her.
Thank you Opal, I'm very happy with her! Thanks very much theresa! Thanks very much Teddy! I made the wig myself but for a doll with a slightly smaller head. So it's prone to falling off Mouse's head! I have just glued it on for now but it's easily removed. The flyaways were a bit annoying as it was windy but I guess that's normal then! Thanks very much Jane! She really is huggable, isn't she!!
Hehehehehee.....she isn't altogether happy to be Alice is she! But I think she looks smashing. I must find a photo of Megan (one of my Ganga's) dressed as Alice and add it here.
She doesn't look overly impressed but her dress is very nice Opal I have to say that my own Seola also has a new dress and she's equally unimpressed. Although I have to admit that having made if for her, I'm now in agreement with her that it just isn't her.....or maybe it is the shoes, which obviously you can't see in this photo....I just need to find her style. Is she a modern girl or old fashioned? She tells me she's NOT old fashioned, and that this dress "definitely IS!" Bit demanding these girls, aren't they?!!
It is funny how they tell us so much about themselves. I think it is a gorgeous dress and my Megan would love to wear it..............but none of my other girls would as they agree with Mouse and say it is far too old fashioned! LOL!
Thank you so much, everyone! I think Dorie is most concerned about getting dirt in her hair if she goes down the rabbit hole. Perhaps she'd like going thru the Looking Glass instead. The dress is from ebay. I love Mouse's dress, but then I like old fashioned dresses.
Thanks Teddy, I'm glad you like it...but when I get a chance I'll make her something more modern and see how she looks in that! Thanks Jane. Maybe if she suits 'modern' then she'll send this dress to Megan! Although Megan might not fancy her 'cast-offs' LOL Thanks Opal
Adding to the Seola pics - here's my Fawn, right after I redid her faceup. Her original one was so old and degraded that it was literally smudging off. She was my first BJD, BTW, and about eight years old when I got her from a friend. That was just over three years ago. Fawn's new faceup by Beth Simmons, on Flickr I need to get a pic of her with her new wig - it's the same color, but no bangs.
Your Fawn is a perfect Seola. So Beautiful. Seola 7 was my first BJD also, and she still completely owns my heart.
Lady Madrigal, your Fawn is very nice too Seola can look so different depending on her faceup, you did a good job on her.
Loving all the Seola pics (and Alina too ). Fawn doesn't show her age at all, and her face up is lovely. Seola wasn't my first BJD, nor my first DT, but she's still a favorite. My 3 DT girls have been with me the longest of any I have now.
January went in to work with me on Thursday. She's trying to persuade me to let her keep Unexpected Sock Monkey, but she's not getting anywhere as he lives on my desk at work as company for whichever doll or bear I take in each day: Teddy
Great photos everyone. The two Seola girls are so different theresa 226, you'd never guess at a glance that they're the same sculpt. Teddy your two Alina girls are very different too, and very sweet! I would want that little Sock Monkey too, he's very cute!
What I also like about the Seola head ( and a few others), they also fit the Elf body very well. One Seola is on the 7Y and my other on the Elf.
My three DT minis, Arin, Winnie and January, went to a Sasha Doll event with my Sashas over the weekend. Here they are in my hotel room: it's a shame I didnt' get a picture of Arin with his friend Edith who was also there. Jane, did any of your photo's of them come out? Teddy
