Methinks it's past time for our annual reunion on here @Reesha Wow your girls are absolutely stunning! Here's Marianne enjoying the Easter sunshine
@mikki, she's gorgeous as always. So glad to see her again. Wish I could contribute as well, I've been dreaming of an IDS girl for what seems like forever now - but sadly it never came true for me.
Annual reunion I was thinking of this thread the other day. I just gave my Arnoah a new faceup. Must take pictures! @mikki your Marianne is lovely
Well another year is almost up, so time for our annual reunion Here's Marianne (Byul) with her significant other Sebastian (Spiritdoll Abies)
@Reesha @Alewife @trollenok @chizzie_shark @Mandagore Hope you are all safe and well. I'm reviving this thread a bit earlier than usual, and I've been back through it and fixed all my broken links, so I'm feeling virtuous. Here's my lovely Marianne checking in for 2021.
@mikki This girl just keeps on looking gorgeous, like she never aged a day. Thanks for sharing! I wish I could contribute more than just words, but for me my IDS dreams never came true. Never mind, I love looking at yours!^^
Marianne looks lovely year after year. Thanks for reviving the thread! My Arnoah got a new faceup, now I need to take new pictures.
Lovely to see Marianne again! Sad that I can't contribute anymore, as I sold my Osmanthus (Arnoah)...but I love this little community we've built!
This is a pic of my crew (part of them) but both my IDS girls are here so I guess I can share it with you This is old pic tho. But girls still with me ^^
Gorgeous photo @Reesha your girls are wonderful I'm so delighted to see them. I haven't taken a new photo of Marianne for ages so I will make sure to do that soon and share her. Thanks for reviving this thread.
Oh, I remember seeing I-Doll Studio girls as a BJD newbie and falling in love with all of them! Reesha and mikki - so good to see photos of your girls, they kinda make me wish I had the means and ability to buy an IDS girl back in the day. Thank you for sharing them and keeping them alive in memory~
Thank you @Reesha @aihre I'm sorry you never got to bring home an IDS girl. You never know, one may find her way to you some day, I hope so. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all from me and Marianne
Giving this thread a bump, now that I have a couple pics to share of my Arnoah, Paulina Pemberton. She used to belong to @Alewife, who did her face-up. (Pardon the stand! ) Spoiler: Paulina's close-up These gals are a challenge to dress, though a lot easier than a Dollstown 18girl! Jacket and skirt are Volks SD16 girl, tee is EID woman, boots are Volks SDGrB. Jpop wig (I like the soft look it gives her) and orangebabydolly necklace.
@beamlette She looks fabulous! Congrats on adopting her too. These girls are so special, I'm forever grateful that I got Marianne when I did. Thanks for listing the sizes of her outfit, that's really helpful, it certainly is a challenge finding stuff for them.
@mikki, thank you! It's nice to see your Marianne, and @Reesha's lovely pair. I'm glad I could help a little with clothes sizing. It's still hit and miss, and I need to try more things on my girl. For shoes, I've found some for the Dollmore Model woman can work, like this dress shoe for the Model flat feet: dollmore,bjd,ball jointed doll,doll wig,bjd faceup,bjd collector,人形,球体关节人形,구관,구관인형,doll wig,doll bag,doll hair,resin doll,doll,doll furniture,doll hair,doll boots,doll shoes,doll clothes,doll outfits,saran hair,saran,doll making tool,doll pastel,painting color. Also, the old Dale Rae flats for DM Model size. This gives her a break from the SD boy size tennis shoes, oxfords and loafers Sorry about the massive link; not sure how to trim it down!
@beamlette she looks so stylish! I never could find shoes that fit-- I bet she's glad she came to live with you.
@Alewife, thank you! She enjoys the material things I give her, but she'll never forget that you gave her her face-up
Oh my goodness yes, Marianne and I adore her Dale Rae shoes! I was lucky enough to get these two pairs in her closeout sale in 2010 for the amazing price of $5 a pair! They are still as good as new, unlike most commercially made shoes. In the Spoiler pic below are Dollmore Model Size sandals and boots, all of which are deteriorating to some extent. Spoiler The red boots are still available from Dollmore - Indus Della Boots (Red) $26.13. Mine are fine on the outside, there's just a slightly sticky patch developing on the inside of one boot. The sandals straps are starting to crumble. The animal print boots began cracking from first use! I'm not sure if they are Dollmore or not, can't remember where I got them. Anyway, I've decided I'm done buying any company shoes and will have to start trying to make some instead
@mikki, yes, thank goodness for the old Dale Rae shoes! So far (cross fingers), all mine, including other sizes, are holding up. Sadly, some of my Dollmore shoes are deteriorating too, as well as Dollheart and Volks. Good luck on learning shoemaking!
