Hello!

Hi, I'm Bobble and I'm glad to finally be here! I've been lurking for a while as I get more and more into dolls.

Obviously I had dolls as a child, big fan of Barbie though I don't have my childhood dolls any more . As an adult I got really interested in making cloth dolls. I LOVE shaping the human form in fabric because it's such a challenge, and then I love dressing them. I wanted something a little more sturdy to dress so I ended up buying an Ellowyne Wilde and a Gene Marshall. I love them too, and they're a lot easier to dress than Barbie but I still craved something bigger.

I've been fascinated with the mechanics of BJDs for a while, but I prefer more realistic looking heads so none of them really clicked for me until I found Iplehouse and SartoriaJ. I ordered my first BJD from SartoriaJ back in March (64MNT Marie) because the opportunity to get a corset bust and a regular bust without buying two whole dolls was too tempting. I love corsetry and I'm excited to make some tiny stays for her!

I'm starting college for costume design very soon and I'm really looking forward to learning pattern drafting which I can then use to design fabulous historical and fantastical outfits for Marie. I can't wait for her to arrive!

 

Hi! I like a lot of periods tbh. My favourite is the mid to late 18th century and into the Regency period. I also love the various styles of the Middle Ages, the Tudor period, the bustle era, and the 1930s-50s. Viking clothing is pretty cool and I would love to do some mini scale tablet weaving but I probably need to master regular size tablet weaving first.

Marie is going to have to be a time traveller or something to fit all this in haha.

 

Hello!

Regency men's fashion may be on the syllabus next year and I really hope so. It looks so good but so complicated then I'd need a male doll of course ... oh well

Hi, thanks! I'm really excited about it.
