Iplehouse Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

I'm not sure if this counts, but my FID Lawrence should be arriving today or tomorrow. Once he does, I'll be drafting and tailoring a suit for him, and shoes as well. I plan to be opening an Etsy shop for fashion doll stuff, including the FID suit once I finish.

 

Thanks for this! All my clothes fitting plans fell by the wayside yesterday, but I'm shooting for Sunday now. It's too bad that work gets in the way of my playtime!

Raffine is wearing a Tonner doll Hardy Boys trench coat and it fits perfectly, even the belt is at the right place at the waist!
Her shoes are off of Ebay, supposed to fit the American Model dolls, on her fashion high heel feet. The fit could be a little better, but not bad.

Your Raffine looks lovely Sprocket! I bought some American Model doll shoes on eBay myself. I'm pretty sure she'll arrive before they do though.

 

@luckeegurl36 , thank you! I bought two pairs of AM shoes but only one fit. The second pair was a pointy toed pair and was much too narrow.
@petiteballerine , that's right, it's just a trial and error process.
I've been haunting Iplehouse daily just hoping for some new duds for my girls. Miho won't try anything on at all, insists Raffine be the guinea pig. She stole the trench coat already.

 

How are you drafting the pattern? By blocking method or a drape method??

 

My Raffine and Stella wearing Souldoll Kid boots. Actually Raffine's top and jacket are also Souldoll Kid.

 

Shanleigh stole my Vito Freya's default outfit. She's an Irish lass after all and I was pleased to see that it fit her quite nicely. Her purse is from Target.

 

So far I am having success with clothing made for the CED dolls but I know not all items fit.

The lingerie that came with some of the basic dolls works very well.



I also bought some American Model shoes and they work well even though they are a bit long...

FID Stella

I bought a couple of pairs of boots for Evangeline Ghastly and they won't go on as they are too narrow. My mistake as the listing was clearly for Evangeline only. However some sellers are offering shoes as fitting both and I'd be wary of buying those for our FID girls.

 

I couldn't fit a silicon cap under Arvid's Iplehouse wigs if I tried. I have two of the short mohair ones that they show the guys wearing. I don't know which one you have. I wrap a rubber band twice around his headcap and it keeps the wig on once I finally get the things to stay on, but it takes work.

Not sure how useful this is, but DollHeart shoes meant for 60cm girls, even ones with narrow toe boxes, fit FID boys. I have no shoes for Arvid and was really tired of cutting off his feet for photos, so I dug out shoes I got in fukubukuros because it was better than nothing when he was wearing baggy pants anyway. So, I wouldn't buy any for that purpose, but if you have them lying around and need something, they work.

 

The wig my guy is wearing in this picture is a perfect fit. I bought it from ebay. The wig take long to shipped thou. So you might need to wait about a month for it to get to you. But it is a great price.

Wow I am definitely interested in your progress on his suit and shoes and especially your Etsy shop!!

Your photo of you Miho is incredible! I love the lingerie--sorry to be so dense but is CED the name of the company or just the initials?

My Felix and Lawrence arrived last week, I noticed with their wigs--I have to really work them, stretch and stretch and stretch--and they fit great. So don't give up on them, just keep on stretching them out! And... There was no extra room for a wig cap with my guys either.

The trench coat looks really great on your Raffine, and the shoes look like a perfect fit. So, American Model shoes, and possibly Evangeline shoes. I was hoping my Ellowyne shoes would work, I have some really great ones, but sounds like they will be too small.

 

Congrats on your guy, and the wig looks great!

Thank you --just found the site.

 

Does anyone know of any PATTERNS that fit the FIDs? I know nothing about fashion dolls or people who sew for them, so if anyone has tried any of the multitudinous patterns I see all over the place, can you post them here?

 

My Arvid wearing Souldoll Vito jacket and tops. They fit him perfectly although not the pants. I've found that Souldoll KID girl stuff which is big on my Souldoll KID Aehael is still roomy on my FID girls although workable. The KID girl boots fit nicely though. Vito girl clothes (tops, dresses and skirts) will work too although again, they are a big roomy on the FID girls. Vito girl pants will probably not work as they've got a really big butt.

 

I did not find these links - I found them in the FID discussion thread and just cross-posted them here for anyone who wants them for quick reference.

From @morganatron In terms of what fits: the wig from Iplehouse is weirdly tight and wants to pop off her head, but my 5-6 Monique wigs (from Facets By Marcia) fit perfectly - probably because the wig cap has more stretch to it. I feel like she could maybe get away with wearing some 6-7 wigs, perhaps with a silicon wig cap.

None of my shoes fit her, with the surprising exception of a pair of boots for Tonner Matt O'Neil - he is a boy fashion doll! It's a tight fit though, her toes are pressed right up to the end, so I don't know if all shoes will fit. (This is for the flat feet). I got the boots from Facets By Marcia as well, here's a link - it's the Riding Boots in the "Matt" size: Facets by Marcia - Shoes for Male Fashion Dolls

Oval eyes seem to fit her eye shape best, I got my glass ones (the 6mm, although they have 8mm as well) from here: Items in Porcelain Dolls By ME store on eBay!
That's an Australian store, but I'm sure I've seen the same type in other places as well - maybe Denver Doll Emporium? Anyway, the 6mm fit well, for those wanting smaller eyes!

From @sidroq It really is a challenge, especially with Iplehouse offering so few options, but just in case you haven't seen these, here's a few places with 5-6 wigs to check out!

From @vermont chick Here's another source for size 5-6 wigs: Wig Shop at Facets - Size 5/6 A - J . She carries Moniques, but some of the styles and/or colors are unique to Facets. Quite a few of them don't have fringes.

 

I'm not sure if this was posted already, but I just found out that the flat shoes that where sold by Dale Rae for the Fairyland Minifee Girls are a perfect fit without socks on the flat feet of the FID woman. Now I am very spiteful that I did not get more of them while they where still available.....But maybe other shoes for Minifee girls will fit as well?

The two pair of Tonner male shoes from Facets by Marcia that I own did not fit. Maybe someone more handy might get it to work but I was afraid to harm the doll or shoes.

And the high heel slippers from Facets that my Chic line is wearing are way too small for the FID woman....

 

One of my boys is wearing Dollmore's luxury shoe for Zaoll girls. It's a perfect fit and doesn't look girly at all. In fact, it looks somewhat mannish for Zaoll. It comes in brown and black. The black is currently sold out but they usually restock after a while. There is also a short boot available but I'm not sure it will fit--it's slightly shorter and narrower than the shoes.

I have bought a couple of patterns from Designs by Jude for Tonner's Mortimer Mort and Peter Pevensey. So far I've only made the shirt from the Dandy pattern, which I lengthened a bit in the torso to make sure it would stay tucked in, and a short version of the long vest. The shirtsleeves could have been a wee bit longer; vest was perfect. Not sure how well the pants will fit as I haven't made them yet.

There is a second part to the Wig Shop at Facets link shown in Sapahriel's post above. The wigs are separated alphabetically into two parts: A-J and K-Z.

 

Speaking of shoes, is anyone planning to get these: Black Oxford Shoes for Iplehouse FID, Soom Idealian 51, etc ?
I'm still not sure if I'm sticking with the FID line yet, I guess it'll depend on what Iplehouse releases next week. I'm tempted but also I don't want it to turn into one of these situations where it's an increasing pile of stuff that I try to convince whomever buys my FID to take as well.

 

I'm tempted because the price is right (compared to Iple's price for oxfords) and they look like soft leather, but frankly I'm not in love with how long and pointed they are. I'd prefer a shoe that's slightly more rounded in front.

 

I'm really excited about these dolls. Looking at the measurements, the woman might be able to share outfits with the JID girl.
Maybe it's time for me to find out how to design patterns.

 

These are from he-meife on Ebay and are American Model size. The feet are the high heeled feet which are slightly longer.

 

Okay, I tried a couple things on my Medium Bust Raffine (Echo) since she got her new boots today.
Iplehouse JID Boy Leather Jacket: Fits pretty much how I expected it to, like she's wearing a boy's jacket. The sleeves are quite long which is kind of cute, so if you're looking for the boyfriend jacket look, this is a good one.
Iplehouse JID Girl Black Tank Top: This is really hard to get over her broad shoulders. Also, her hips are kind of big so it doesn't pull down as well as I'd like. . . I know this problem well from human clothing >___<. It fits, but not beautifully.
Tonner Matt combat boots from Ebay: Oh my gosh these fit gloriously. Obviously these go on the flat foot. They don't make her feet look huge or anything like the Kish chucks do.
She's also wearing the belt from the Black Nike set in this picture. It looks awesome on her. . . I'm borrowing some of my friend's JID clothes while I'm doing her doll's tattoos, so that's why I have all these things.. . and am now wanting most of them for myself >__< darnit.
New Boots by Tatterpunk, on Flickr

 

Miho wearing a gown by Robert Tonner for his plus-size model Emme (old body). I don't imagine there are many of these fashions floating around, but I happened to have one and it happened to fit. Unfortunately I uploaded the wrong pic--she's lost the top of her head in this one. Emme was a 16-inch doll, so the dress is shorter on Miho than it's designed to be.

Your Arvid looks so great in this jacket and shirt by Souldoll. I did notice that Souldoll Vito girl shoes are about .5cm too long but still might work well--but I was most excited by the Souldoll KID girl shoes, which look like they might be a perfect fit. Now if they would just add more. I love the boots, so I hope to get some when the time is right. Have you checked LUTS? I believe they have MSD sized shoes that are the right length and width for FID girls. I am slowly collecting shoes, and outfit(s)--in the hopes that I will get the chance to buy Miho with her fullset or Raffine with her FS.....one can dream!

Wow! she looks great...the tights and boots look perfect--she is tough and chic. Very Very cool.

this dress looks really pretty on Miho. great find!

 

Does any one know if Model Delf clothing would fit the boys?

 

They don't. I used to have a Model Delf and they are much slimmer than an FID. I tried on both pants and tops with no luck.

 

22" American Model shoes from eBay seller he-meife. FID heel feet (not the High heel ones)

 

The crocheted boots HelenDollClothes on etsy sells for Minifee's fit the FID girl flat feet perfectly.

 

I tried some of Dollmore's clothing for their Zaoll girls on my FID guys. Their KaMa pants fit (they come in either black or white). The Dual Pants (jeans style, available in both camel and blue) are longer but work if you roll up the hem. The Myosotis T shirt also fits (available in black or white), although getting the sleeves on over the hands was a bit of a struggle and the shirt body is long. I'll take photos when it stops raining. It's too dark at the moment.

 

My FID can wear some of the Tonner 19 inch boy items but it is hit or miss. Stretchy pants and shirts fit well. The shoes were too small. I know that Chewingallapa makes custom hard cap wigs,underwear, jeans, shirts and a fully lined and tailored suit for FID boys. Each of these is under 100 USD each and the fit and style are pretty nice. They also sell hardcap wigs for FID girls.

 

Where do I find this person's stuff? I'm interested.

Thanks!

That whole site is great!

 

I hope you found the site. You can find his work at: chewingallapa.com

 

Thanks! I found it. It's gorgeous stuff!

 

That is the nicest underwear I have seen & it seems to fit so well..did you make it?

 

Thanks Sapphire7 - I had to check to see which set she had on as in this case, no, I didn't. This set was one that the basic CED dolls came dressed in a few years back now and they do fit really well. They are made from lace and elastic so they form well to the bodies. The sets came in black, pale pink and pale blue and lilac I believe but I can't even remember now which doll each set came on.

Coincidentally I have also been making some lingerie for my girls but they are constructed very differently with no elastic so they are fitted to each doll type. These dolls have such beautifully sculpted bodies its nice to see them in lingerie

Miho models... by Lyanne NZ, on Flickr

 

Oh my goodness are those all your dolls..I love them..so elegant & the things they are wearing are just fab...did you make their outfits? Love how you make the lingerie because they fit perfectly to the body..a lot of those you buy look terrible.(Well I think they do) Are all your dolls Iple dolls or a mix..love the high shoes & some of those wigs are just gorgeous..I love puffy wigs they look more sexy & I dont really like using that word...All in all I love everything about your dolls.

Oh the pic just came up with the doll in her lingerie...nice...I loved those emerald coloured ones.

Cheery Theresa

 

Hi Theresa - most of my recent photos are Iplehouse FIDs and some of Raccoon Dolls too. If you look at the tags I try to remember to label them...or of course you can go to the albums to see all of one type of doll I think there's some resin fashion dolls among them too on the photostream.

The high shoes come from Ebay sellers - he-meife and Guo5158 and they are sized for Tonner American Models. My FIDs have the high heeled feet (they are a little longer than the regular heeled feet.)

Most of the wigs are Monique except I have used some Formydoll ones too. I love big hair too

Thank you so much for your kind comments! Glad you enjoyed the photos!

 

Holy heck, LyanneNZ! In that last pic of your girl, if the falling shirt sleeve was juuuust high enough to hide her elbow joint, we could think you'd photographed a real woman!

You + Iple + clothes + camera = AMAZING PHOTOS!

So I found a clothing seller on Facebook, of all places, who does FID women and offered to do men if I got her measurements. I asked her which measurements she needed and got them to her off of my Bichun. I then asked if she did custom things if I could show her detailed pics to help her understand exactly what I want and she said yes!

She's making it all now and I should have it in about a month. Obviously I'll show it all off once I've gotten it.

I can't link to her page directly as I'm using an app and not a browser but I can help folks find her. Her work looks gorgeous! She's also super-nice to talk to/work with.

Go to Facebook and in their search bar, search: leario style

You should get directed to the page LeaRio STYLE. Click that and browse. If you order something from her, tell her Hideto Koudanshi with the custom FID male clothes recommended her to you. I promised her I'd help spread the word since she seemed so nice and her clothes are so great!

I'm still mad at Iple for not releasing the FID male boots yet! I need biker boots for my boy! GRRR. >

Any other suggestions for how I can get black biker boots for my boy? I'd hate for him to have this awesome outfit and no dang shoes/boots. :P

 

Excuse my thickness but Im new here & dont know what you mean FID..IM trying to learn but there is so much. Thanks.

LyanneNZ I loved your photos & as Bishounen_Hideto said you have to look twice sometimes to realise they are just dolls..your photography is spectacular..Im in awe of what some do with their dolls..Im loving just looking at things. Didnt realise you were in NZ Lyanne..Im from NZ as well...any suggestions how to find people who collect as Ive had no luck at all & sometimes it would be easier here than typing because of my arthritis..hurts a lot...lol.

 

I'm really keen to see what your new things all look like when you get them!
I'd love some "biker boots" too for the guys. The only shoes my guys have are quite smart looking ones from He-Meife in Peter Pevensie size. I haven't checked to see if he has any new styles.

 

@LyanneNZ where did you get all those amazing suits for your gals??

 

I'll gladly post the outfit parts laid out flat and worn on my Bichun so folks can see for themselves.

The maker said it wouldn't be long now until she's done with my order. =)

 

There seems to be a lack of JID girl boots wherever I look. Etsy and Ebay haven't turned up anything. Does anyone have any ideas on where to find some please?
