IMda Modigli 30.5cm discussion part 3

Has anyone tried making any of the patterns from Megalie Dawson's page Doll Clothing Patterns Page - MHD Designs - the Little Darlings or the Kish patterns? I've made up quite a few of the other size dolls but haven't tried these. I'm thinking of getting a couple but won't make any up since I won't have my Modigli until February or so.

Yaaassss we have spread into a third thread! Let the madness begin all over again!
On a more sensible note.
I know the girls are a fair bit bigger than most YOSD or littlefee etc but I have my eye on the perfect outfit and it's supposed to be oversized on littlefee, so would it maybe be normalish sized on Colette? No pants or anything involved just a longish top and some socks o3o

 

ffff I get to see this thread grow from start to finish now ovo I can't wait to see it get filled with more and more lovely photos of all the cuties !!

 

I'm literally going to die waiting for her once I have her paid off, she's coming from wayyyyyy far away so it could take like two months for her to be home and I'm already so overloaded with excitement I might burst!
Also on the outfit I'm thinking it'll likely sit above her hips since it's not exactly for her height so hopefully that won't be an issue just need to tackle pants or panties!

 

The waiting is always so dreadful fffffff I waited only about a week for my doll since she was secondhand but even that felt like forever ksjsjsjksjdbd I can only imagine the torture having to wait a couple months ;;;; n ;;;;

 

It's like waiting for a brand new girl straight from the company ;-; but that's why I'm going to use the time to gather hopefully all of the things for her homecoming so I can put her all together at once *-*

 

That's true. With you continually buying her things, it'll keep the excitement of receiving her that must greater too ne ovo And ffff I forgot that she's secondhand for you too! Is it because of the layaway that's making the wait long?

 

Not so much the layaway as the shipping time! She's in Asia right now ._. So the best priced shipping for the situation is also pretty slow xc

 

ffff overseas shipping is always such a drag. Can you track her during her travels or was the most inexpensive route without tracking? Hopefully it'll be closer to the one month instead of the two for her to get in.

 

Mmn I'm pretty sure she'll have tracking, I've looked up the method being used and it's similar to the US first class which you can always have the tracking number for, but I am a chronic tracking stalker xD So that may only make me more impatient haha

 

I plan to! She won't be paid off til around the start of the year so I'm planning to look into shipping options more, the thing is though it's already roughly a bit more than a quarter of her price to have her shipped here so I may just have to stick with what's been planned.

Update!
I actually just in depth checked the way she plans to send her and yes tracking is included and when you add insurance you get the price she quoted me for shipping so of course when the time comes I'll verify more details but so far it looks as if she was thinking of all the same things! Though this is exciting because I looked at detail info for shipping to the US from her and fingers crossed it only takes the six weeks minimum ;-;

 

Hah I'm the same way! I would check tracking at least 3x a day and get disappointed when there's no changes and repeat the next day X]

And good to know the seller thought of everything when she made the sale, shipping-wise ovo Hopefully she would get to you sooner rather than later. With the holidays coming up, it might be towards later though ;;; v ;;;

 

So I guess when I look at my order sheet "preparing" means the same as before shipping? LOL.

 

Does someone have a new girl coming home??
Also I believe from reading that does mean they are getting the order ready!

@lucidling
Yes I've been really happy with the girl I'm buying her from, she is just the sweetest and I've actually spent a ton of time just discussing bjds in general with her x3

 

Well I paid for her in full when I made the order so I suppose a 2-3 month wait is in store. Sigh.

 

@Planchette That's one of the best perks I've seen within the secondhand market. Usually everyone is super kind during the transaction and one's that you actually befriend during the process makes the experience that much more amazing ffff

 

Okay so I finally taught myself to make pants today and I'd like to try to make a pair for my incoming girl I got most of the measurements I need from the Web page but does someone maybe have time to measure a couple more things for me?
I'm missing the length of the leg from the waist to the ankle and the length for the crotch from the waist to well the crotch x3
I usually use centimeters for my measurements! If this information is somewhere else I apologize for being a bother!

 

@nancy_schroeder_ca
Thank you but I have no means to print anything and I can't really go anyplace I don't have 100% need to go very often so the likelihood of me being able to print and measure that pattern are slim. I draw out all my own as it is.

 

Thank you!

 

That sewing room guide is so neat! Whenever I can put an order in from Soom, I'm definitely going to give sewing a try with those useful photo references ffffff

 

I received my Gian tracking number from Soom today! Eeep! Less than 2 months :-D

 

Today I did the faceup of Elvie's dreaming head.

 

@Lelycat Her glossy lips are too cute !! Is that a diorama I glimpse? ovo

@eva_h fffff how exciting !! I'm so jealous your little cutie is on its way to you. Have you made or purchase clothes for them yet? ovo

 

@lucidling thank you. She sleeps on a bed in her room in a 1:6 house!

 

@Lelycat A house? Where do you find the space for that? I barely have enough space for just a playroom fffff I bet it was fun furnishing it though heh

 

Dollhouses are my hobby and work and I have many but mostly 1:12.
It is fun making props for the 1:6 house and even made pets (dogs) in that scale.

 

That sounds like so much fun and rewarding! Do you sew as well or mostly focusing your attention to building? ovo

 

Yes, I sew, knit mostly, make leather shoes, bake cakes etc.All projects on my personal website.

 

@lucidling I only have a pair of boots for her, but I've got my tissue paper and masking tape ready for pattern making. I hope I'll like to sew for her. I don't have any child dolls from before so it'll be different from what I'm used to, style-wise.

 

@Lelycat You have so many skills !!! Your dolls must get so spoiled ovo

@eva_h I'm sure you'll love her. She's not super super tiny, she's probably more towards the bigger spectrum of yosd ne. I was browsing through soom's sewing room and fffff it definitely motivates me to pick up sewing. Do you have any specifics plans for outfits yet? ouo

 

Do you have a picture of the boots @lucidling ? Look forward to your sewing for this girl. So far I tried only a few things.
Will try to sew her a dress one day when I can find the right material(s).

 

@Lelycat Here are the boots next to a pair of Blythe shoes, everything from Neo Blythe, has produced a doll shoes and bags of 1/6 size by Amabiledoll

 

Oh wow, I'm really impressed with your boots!

 

@elfstone They're molded well and the folded top is a nice touch!

 

@Lelycat Btw.. are you looking for a specific type of fabric for the dress?

 

They look great and cute @eva_h!

No, so far I have not decided yet what to use but I have lots of fabrics to choose from or to combine.

 

My Gian arrived last week and I am in LOVE. Finished her wig today.

 

She is beautiful!!! Congratulations!

 

She's lovely!

 

GUYS COLETTE IS NOW OPEN FOR ORDER!!!!


In other news someone tell me I don't need sleepy Colette too....

 

A new knitted sweater for Elvie.

I used some lacy cotton and needles 1.5mm


on Flickr

 

Oh wow...love the new sweater Lelycat! Very nice!

 

I'm waiting for a 2.6 or 2.2 Colette to fit in with my little ones, but in the meantime I discovered that they post their release news on Instagram under dollsoom. Just released today is the 3.0 Mabelle.

 

I just got a shipping notice for Modigli!

 

For some reason I can't log in anymore on the Angel Region site, is it a glitch for everyone or just me? The 'log in' button is gone... maybe my husband has arranged for it to disappear

 

That's odd isn't it? I'll try on one of their other sites thanks

edited to say I've got in via Explorer rather than Firefox

 

I will do, I updated Adobe last week, but will check it installed properly, thanks.

 

Can anyone by any chance show an imda 3.0 head next to a feeple60 girl head? Curious about how similar they are in proportions and.... if a hybrid would work >3>!
