SartoriaJ Mini Part II

Aug 19, 2023

    1. Thank you everyone. I'm really happy with how the armour turned out.

      @Erasmia - He's Sonoran Beige.

    2. I love his tabbard and armour. My Matias is sooo jealous.
       
    3. He looks absolutely amazing!!

    4. So I see the instagram just posted a very close in shot of the S. Clara sculpt, and a few days ago started posting teasers of the fairies of winter outfits. Who else is curious to see how the Clara looks like with both her sculpts? I thought Lili turned out very nicely, so this has my interest.
       
    5. Woah, the fairy Angela is beautiful! Wish they had that face up on offer when I bought my Angela last year!

    6. She really is!!! I must say, I’m tempted…
       
    7. The knight and his lady love, Elf Agnes...

    8. They look beautiful!!!

      Now - question for everyone - does anyone know what shoes fit on the male SartoriaJ feet, other than the shoes on the website itself? Can they wear other 1/4 shoes at all - and which ones if so?

      I'm planning on ordering a boy - once I decide which one - and I need to know whether to order him shoes as well, none of the styles are exactly what I had in mind, but if nothing else fits i'll get some anyway!
       
    9. Thank you!

      The 1/4 scale guys have bigger feet than the standard MSD dolls, so there's not much that would fit them. However Peter Pevesie shoes will fit. They are less than half the price, but also not the same quality as the SJ boots all my guys have to go with their period costumes. That being said, I bought some of the Peter Pevesie 'cowboy' boots, and their soft tops fit nicely inside my guy's pant legs to give a casual contemporary look. (the girl is wearing standard MSD hiking boots from mimiwoo)

      I also bought some short black Peter Pevesie boots, and am using them under Matias' leg armour, since they are so much smaller than his regular SJ boots...

    10. Oh thank you so much, that’s really good to know! I have those same cowboy boots in black to fit my FID boy, good to know they fit both! Time to look at eBay and see what styles are on offer I think!
       
    11. Matias and Agnes...

    12. They both - and the horse - look so amazing with the armour and clothes you’ve created!!! I’m in awe!!!!
       
    13. Thank you. I'm really loving these two together.

    14. They look is good together. I wouldn't have ever chosen that color combo, but seeing it all put together everything fits so well together! The horse and Matias and Agnes look like they tell a whole story just standing there.
       
    15. @MB Lilac They are absolutely gorgeous!!
       
    16. Well, the last two new MSD dolls of the Christmas period have been released! They're gorgeous, but not what I was after - however, now they're out I can finally order the doll I've been holding off on, just in case I liked one of the new ones more - but no, so I'm getting Philip, with face-up F, on the new body! I'm so excited!!! I've been wanting to get a boy for ages and originally really wanted Jude, but since he's been discontinued for a while now, it was time to move on - and when I saw how the styled Philip in the SD version, I knew he was just what I wanted!!! Glad I waited now, as I like the new 51 body much better too.

      So now I guess I'd better settle in for that 4-6 month wait! :lol:
      Maybe I'll make some clothes for him in the meantime, I'm not entirely sure they will fit, but if I make them to fit my FID then at least he can wear them!

    17. Thank you @skyealloway & @Kaname Kimura

      @morganatron - If you want to make clothing in advance, and want to use an FID as your model, I suggest using the Muscle body, as my SJ guys are too 'big & chunky' to fit into anything for the Model guys. My SJ guys can borrow my Lawrence's clothes, although the sleeves are still a bit short. He has the Muscle body. But their arms and bodies are too thick for the Model clothes. The only way my SJ guys can 'borrow' one of my Model guy's clothes, is if I just switch heads.

    18. Oh damn, I just sold my FID muscle boy (decided I didn’t like his sculpt so much after all), only got the model guy left!!! Oh well, maybe I’ll hold off sewing for him until he arrives then. At least then I can be sure what colours suit him. Eventually I might get a new muscle guy, but not any time soon since the money has gone to the Sartoriaj guy instead! Thanks for letting me know, you’ve saved me from making him something that won’t fit!!!
       
    19. I got a MSD Philip with that face up. It's a very nice one. It translated well to the smaller one. I was super pleased with it.

    20. Ooh that’s wonderful to see, it’s always a bit of a gamble if you haven’t seen the face up on the actual doll/actual doll size - but he looks great! So handsome!!!

    21. I have found this to be true also. I prefer the relative stability of the Iplehouse bodies, but put up with any minor difficulties on SJ bodies because I love their sculpts and faceups so much. I must learn to wire or suede them.

    22. I love my Phillip, too. I got that same faceup for my msd Phillip and he is so gorgeous. I love this picture!

    23. So I'm almost approaching my last payment of my 6 month layaway. Will they email me when it's ready or do I have to check on the website?
       
    24. My mini-Lobelia arrived last week...from a July order.:hollyberry Happy Hollidays to me! :treecookie

    25. I ordered two dolls last May, received one last month and the other one is in customs now. I did not receive any emails, I kept (keep) checking the website for updates. Edited to add her unboxing pic. She has eyes now, just needs a wig and clothes.

    26. Oh wow, she's beautiful!!!!

      Also that gives me hope that the Juliet I ordered in July might also arrive before too long?! Who knows!

    27. @luluna & @crazybib Grats! Both your girls are beautiful! Waah, the more I see of not-grey Lobelias (mine is grey), the more I am tempted :D

    28. Apparently Melissa has been made and is just waiting for make up. She will hopefully be shipped in January (I ordered in August) :XD:.

      Anyone else tempted by Silvia? I'm thinking I might order her :XD:. The free shipping makes it even more tempting!

      @luluna your girl is stunning! Is that the option F face up?

      @crazybib hope you post more pics of your elf girl!! Who else are you waiting for?

    29. @morganatron - Thank you! This Lobelia was ordered in July...so hopefully your Juliet will come soon! :starcookie

      @Ashemanu - Thank you! I really love the Lobelia sculpt...I also have on in WS and she is so different than this Sonoran Beige version. You can't go wrong. :gingerbreadman

      @Loganberry - Thanks so much! Yes, she has the F faceup.:hollyberry

      Since I'm here...this is my WS Lobelia so @Ashemanu can see another.:XD:

    30. @luluna yikes, I don´t think I want to see another :vein:...( She really really looks good! How very versatile this mold is ... Well, so far I am totally disappointed with the christmas event dolls - maybe I should consider another Lobelia instead :lol:
       
      • x 1
    31. @Ashemanu - LOL! :whee: Thank you! I have also a Sonoran Beige Lobelia in SD size...I posted photos of her in the other SJ thread.

      As for the Christmas offerings, I love Daniel's oufit...but it only comes with the doll...and I'm loving Freya and her outfit...but I'm waiting till I see what Tarot Death Zeus looks like...:goldstar
       
    32. I have another Lobelia to share

    33. @Loganberry I will take more pictures of Juliete when I make her some clothes:blush. The other one is an Elf Dominic, he just arrived this afternoon! I haven't had a chance to open him up yet, I have company now.

    34. @Kaname Kimura Waah, I really do not want to see this - she is lovely! Very fast becoming my favorite SartoriaJ mold next to Sarah!
       
    35. A bit off topic, but exciting news as it looks like the fashion scale dolls are becoming more popular - Ringdoll have just released a version of one of their big SD dolls in fashion doll scale!!! VERY cheap and he has armour and a fancy staff and everything! Raymond 2.0 1/4 Scale
      Doesn't look like you can buy the outfit and armour separately, but I wonder if it fits SartoriaJ dolls? The doll is 50cm tall so it might?
      Sorry, I know this isn't about SartoriaJ dolls, but I do find it exciting when there are more dolls in this scale to all mix together!!!

    36. Absolutely stunning, handsome, gorgeous power couple! The armor, embroidered dragon, Agnes' dress, the horse! Truly wonderful. ♡^▽^♡
       
    37. All these Lobelia's are beautiful! She has such expressive eyes.

      Hey thanks for sharing! That's quite a lot of muscles on that little guy!!
       
    38. With the Holiday season, Matias needed something more 'casual' to wear to family get-togethers...

    39. That's a very elegant casual outfit!

      He's wonderful...ho...ho...ho!:hollyberry

    43. My Juliet just arrived too!!! What a great way to end the year!!! I’ll take some photos once I’ve made her some clothes - but I’m so excited she’s finally here!!!!

    45. Has anyone ordered any of the boys on the new 51 ATH body? I'm loving the look of it, but I've heard mixed reviews about the posing of their previous MSD boy bodies so am hoping this one will be better?

      Also, what is the best way to keep up with the release of limited sculpt releases? And do they ever come back? :sweat (I ask, as someone who has definitely missed on one I would've liked *cough* Eugene *cough*)

    47. I’ve ordered one but he’s not here yet - they only became available in December so I’m guessing they won’t arrive until March at least, or even June, judging from previous wait times. And you can keep up with sculpt releases by subscribing to Sartoriaj’s emails, they email you with any new releases, sales, etc. I just got an email this morning saying there’s a sale on their clothing!

    50. @MB Lilac What a gorgeous family portrait! The baby is perfect!
       
    51. Thanks. The baby is a House Elf by DreamHigh Studio, and I ordered it originally to be a baby for my House Elves, but I really liked her with Agnes - she was the perfect size - so she's hers now. I wasn't sure about how she'd work with Matias, so decided to add an older child - an IH BID. With Matias' head being a bit bigger than an FID, the girl's head size works just fine (in my opinion)
       
    52. @MB Lilac I really like the colors of the gowns of the three girls. Your picture could be the official photo of some European Royal family :)
       
    53. Thank you.

      And now for something completely unexpected....Dominic in contemporary clothes...

      My new Juliet!!! I waited until her new eyes arrived (Heart of a Fairy, 8mm with 4mm iris in case that helps anyone else - finally I found eyes that fit!!!), and I made her a dress too - the bodice fit is a bit off so I sewed lots of pearls on it to distract from it, lol! I may or may not get her a new wig. It actually looks fine in the photo but wasn't quite the shade I wanted when you see it irl, unfortunately.
