What fits an IpleHouse EID woman?

Quick post of shirt fit This is the shirt from Doll Heart's [Valentine Candy] Walnut Chocolate - KD000011 - SD 70CM BOY
It has a nice fit, loose enough to not be a pain to button over the bust (the Soul Doll shirts fit a bit more tightly) One more boy cloths source!... I do not have any of the long pants to ry for fit other than a somewhat large fitting pair to start with... Again this is on a MEDIUM bust. I think large might be a bit too tight but I can't be sure.

 

It says you have to buy wholesale. Can you buy if you don't want 10 of each item?

 

are you sure of this? if a foot is said to be 7.5 it needs a shoe that measures 8... and the last one is a shoe that the OLD "YID" wore... the new ones can't... Can you show pictures of your doll wearing these shoes? it would be helpful since I've been burned before going by the same information.

 

I know the shoe from the first link can fit but it is SUPER hard to get on and fastened. I have them. I ripped the bow off one trying to get them on my EID girl and had to glue it back on. I put them on my YID girl with much struggling but it's the same feet for YID and EID right? I thought I had a photo of them on my YID girl but evidently I do not.

 

Old YID girl's feet are smaller than the NEW YID's feet some of Iple's own adds still show old sized dolls wearing shoes from Luts that WILL NOT fit the new girls ... EID, SID and nYID girl's feet are now all the same size. And number can be deceptive... someone bought shoes lable '8' which should be plenty large but were way to small.... I have no idea why.

 

Probably because Iple feet are wide and high, so the upper of the shoe was probably made for a slimmer profile foot. I've had that problem with some of the shoes I've tried. :-/ They've gotta fit the length, width and height which seems to be a tall order. :-/

 

I was referring to a nYID btw. I have put those shoes in the first link on my Bianca. It was a huge struggle though.

 

I noticed that it has not been mentioned that the EIDW flat foot at least can wear OLD YID boy shoes/boots. (it even notes it on some of the shoes on the Iple site)

 

Just popping in to share my EID lady's new outfit.
Top: K2 70cm "Pop Culture" hooded top.
Pants: K2 70cm "Bad Boy" pants.
Footwear: Model Doll F "Cara" boots from Dollmore. The boots are a little long for the heeled EID foot, but I personally think that the extra length looks more in scale with the EID height.

 

Wow, she looks amazing!!

 

Thank you. :-) It's was nice to be able to find her an outfit that fit her personality, but didn't break the bank. $35 for a top and pants is a steal. The boots....not so much, but she's totally worth it. :-)

 

Where do you buy the "K2" brand? I'm not familiar with them, and unfortunately it's too short a search string to bring up any results on DoA.

Thanks!

-- A

 

I bought the top and pants from Mint On Card. http://www.mintoncardinc.com/dolls/browse.php?toys=shop&BJD=65&name=Large+Boys+68+-+73cm&cbh=75

 

Thank you!! (I think I've seen those items before, but not under the "K2" . . . maybe Tata's Paradise or eBay?) Anyway, thanks for the info, and it's good to know that an EID lady can look so awesome in their clothes!

 

Speaking of Tata's Paradise, how do their shoes fit on EID women?

 

Oh, your lady looks spectacular!
Like everyone else I have bought lots of shoes that fit my other girls, but not the Iple girls. it's very frustrating, because I don't think Iplehouse makes sexy shoes. Actually many of them are frumpy. I have considered having an extra pair of feet that are modded to fit the non Iple shoes.
Last night I wrote Iplehouse about it. The red and black sling backs with the strap and buckle across the toe/instep look great without the strap because the vamp is cut so there is some toe cleavage. I'm going to attempt to cut off the straps. If they would cut the other shoes lower it would help a lot. I also asked if the booties with all the studs could be offered without the studs and added colors. Hardware is great for certain looks, but not everything.
[I

 

Wow, you guys are so smart, trying 70cm guy clothes on your girls! I don't know why I didn't think of it before... Probably because I wasn't sure what would fit and didn't want to risk buying stuff...

AQueenOfAllTrades--your girl looks amazing!

 

It helps when you own the cloths in the first place ;p I had them for my zenith.. only at the time they were mistakenly labled as 70 cm dolls so that was what I bought... and thank god because the smaller sized stuff not specifically balled for zeniths would never have fit... I for one got lucky and caught on fast that the 65 cm zenith needs 70 cm cloths to make up for the thickness... this is what lets it fit EIDW's Things 'specifically' made for a souldoll zenith with be fairly snug but the 70 cm stuff is a bit better... barely.

 

Lilsgirl, those look so much better without the straps. You're right though, not everything needs hardware (or random zippers or fishnets or random gibberish or...).

 

Big improvement on the shoes. Iple's shoes do lack a bit of sex appeal, which is odd since a lot of the clothes don't.

 

Quite well, actually!! You need to be aware that not every style will fit, but the majority I've tried on so far have fit.

I wrote up a detailed review post, with photos, of a number of different styles from Tata's Paradise.

Also, I've found that similar SD16-size shoes from rRabit shop (also known as Rabbit Shop or rRabbit Shop -- their website is here) fit quite well -- I wrote a review of the resin-heeled sandals here, you can (kind of) see my nYID-body hybrid (same size feet) wearing rRabit thigh-high boots here, and my SID girl wearing a different-colored pair here:



In the Tata's Paradise thread, we've listed a number of styles that have been tried on EID/SID feet and which have successfully worked out.

Hope this helps!

-- A

 

That's excellent. Thanks so much.

I've been looking into making my own shoes specifically for EIDs. For research's sake, I'd be interested to know what styles of shoes you wish you could fit on your girls.

 

Glad to help!

Hmm -- I like shoes with delicate heels, like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...akeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

(Even though they'd need to be a bit bigger, in order to fit the EID wider foot, I still think that it's possible to make graceful shoes for EID girls.)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clover-yama...058?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35d0843962

Cute, casual boots are totally missing from the EID wardrobe -- in another thread (I think "what fits SID women?"), someone was asking about casual slouchy brown boots, especially ones made to fit the FLAT feet.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clover-yama...699?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35d096d1b3

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-3-bjd-gir...192?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a8633c638

My girls' flat feet go almost entirely unused, because they just don't make shoes for them -- I would LOVE to have some flats of various types, and some suede boots:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-3-bjd-gir...192?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a8633c638

I've done pretty well finding SD16-sized shoes that will work, but I'd love to have some more casual options for my girls -- they have all the shiny, studded shoes they need in order to be bad-ass biker queens, but my three human girls would love to be able to wear jeans and boots and a tank top sometimes!

If you wind up making your own shoes, please post some examples here, so that we can see!

-- A

 

Thanks for the ideas. I'll put them to good use.

It's a little frustrating that the only choices on the Iple store are frumpy or dominatrix.

 

What they need is classic chic. the 'timeless' look pumps, a couple of sling backs, dressy sandal that would pass for evening or fun day wear. and a simple 'goes with anything' flat full cover and sandal (9style has my fave in the cute sandal look). Stuff that IS NOT trendy but goes with anything (or most things) no matter what the current trend is. "the little black dress" of foot wear?

 

Yes, yes, everything here, yes! Has anyone ever emailed Iple requesting these? I'd love some flats and shoes that can easily translate from fun casual daywear to formal ball.

 

lol glad you like my idea lol... the black shiny flats with the bronze(?) are not too bad... best option available and what my girl wears all the time with everything (I can't change her feet by myself ><). Not quite 'formal' ballroom but very acceptable for 'cocktail' party ^^.. when she goes into her Edelweiss outfit I will be sure to take a pic of her with the flats (I think it should work fine). But that is for Feb. January is 'sloppy/comfy' month for my kids, so tank-top, leggings and sweater (and flats ;p )

these ones are the ones I mean http://iplehouse.com/home/shop/item.php?it_id=1572036719&nhn1=en

quite doable in a pinch really

 

Thanks Lilsgirl and April. I love how the outfit came together and I really love how Khaali looks in it. :-) Btw, for anyone whose looking into buying the K2 70cm pants for your EID ladies...the "leather" pants work, but the jeans won't. The "leather" ones have enough stretch to them that the pants close completely and my girl can even sit down in them. The jeans, though, will slide up her hips and I can fasten them, but none of them have a zipper, so it gaps open. Not so big of a deal with a long shirt, but I wanted to point it out

 

We did, actually -- there was a discussion on the "Iple Talk" forum (which is public, so that multiple people can comment/thread/response.)

Afterward, they added two pairs of flats:

http://iplehouse.com/home/shop/item.php?it_id=1572036732&nhn1=en

http://iplehouse.com/home/shop/item.php?it_id=1572036738&nhn1=en

The black ones are quite nice, and are my go-to flats now. The red ones are cute, but like the black/bronze ones, are fairly "girlish" -- I'd love a pair of plain black ballet flats (not patent, no ornaments except for possibly a small string bow), which fit more like actual ballet flats (thin sole, foot-conforming fit.)

My EID/SID/nYID women are *womanly*, not girlish -- that's why I have dolls from OTHER companies! (Not that there aren't cute, girlish EIDs/etc., but they're all mature women in my household, and I'd like them to have shoes that look like something I'd consider wearing . . . wait, probably cancel that, I'll wear anything with Hello Kitty on it, and I'm 38, haha. But I tend to have fairly classy taste in SHOES!)

The suede ones are quite nice, but I'd like a similar pair without the ankle strap, in leather (in part because suede flats don't necessarily go well with, say, jeans and a leather vest, and in part because I have two cats, one of them mostly white, and suede is a fur-magnet, LOL!!)

They do have a couple of options for sandals, although I'm surprised to see that the snakeskin sandals (which used to come in cream and . . . black or brown?) are now only available in orange. None of them are flat sandals, though.

(I'd be thrilled to bits if they re-used their pattern for Lahela's default sandal and offered it in a couple of colors -- I really love the flat sandals she came with, they fit well with her character, and they suit her style very well . . . but not everything goes with brown!)

Can you guys link to some (real-world or doll -- preferably real-world, so they don't think we're asking them to copy another doll company) examples of the styles you're looking for? I think it's time to send them another suggestion thread!

-- A

 

I think they have already a lot of suggestion threads they should pay attention like new body type and jointed hands but of course a woman face of someone would be nice suggestion and maybe "easy one" unlike body/hand things xD but would be nice to know are they interested to plan those previous ones at all or should we try other things.. Well, it doesn't cost anything so why not, they have that board for our use!

 

Lady Tiku you nailed it! Perhaps you could post at Iplehouse just what you wrote here and we can come in behind you and say we agree!! Ashbet, my girls are also women.
The pumps they have I wouldn't wear and I have passed into senior citizen land. Whoever cuts the patterns for the shoes is not a shoe person. I do think sending some pictures of some Louboutin's or whatever would be good, but I'm not sure the nuances of cut will translate.
I love Allsaints and they are a line that employes some hardware, so I don't dislike it altogether.
On Ebay there is a fairly new seller http://tinyurl.com/k4jv79q that has nice shoes. The leopard ones I got didn't fit. I did email them about Iplehouse doll shoes, because they have a Stella in some things. He or she actually asked the factory and the minimum for one style is 100 pieces in up to 5 colors. I'm sure there are 100 owners out there, but it's a big risk for a seller.

 

Lilsgirl, I *love* the Sweetiiger shoes (I actually linked to some of them in my post above, about what we're looking for in shoes) . . . if they made a couple of styles in IpleHouse width/fit, I think they'd sell like hotcakes!

Wonder if we could get a group order together? 5 colors would be awesome -- we could pick a style of heels, figure out how many pairs people wanted, and pick the colors -- if ten people bought 5 pairs apiece, that would do it. (Or 15 people with a varying number of pairs, etc.)

-- A

 

Coming out of lurking to hope for a sign up sheet for the Sweetiiger shoes. I have women instead of girlie girls, too, so shoes have been a big problem.

 

Perhaps it would be a good thing if you all would contact him too. I would be up for a group order for sure. I'm still relatively new around here so are there any other ways of getting the word out?
You may want to quote this response I got so they know we are serious. I told them I would ask on DoA if others were interested.

hello!
you are right,the shoes for IP doll is less than SD, i told this to factory but their limit is at least 100 pairs(can have 3-5 different colours) can start to arrange for the production.i am not sure this many of shoes can be sold.

- sweetiiger

 

Do you have an e-mail, or would we have to contact him through eBay?

If he'd be up for doing a group order, I could post on some of the IpleHouse groups on Flickr, letting them know that this might be a possibility, and seeing what styles people were interested in -- we'd probably have to pick one style and just have multiple colors, to show that it will sell, but we could vote on the style.

-- A

 

sugestion of style... strappy high heel sandal. not the ring around the ankle strap but along the foot, behind the heel... I just Google a small batch of pics and saved them... should I load them to my flicker as ideas so you guys can see what "I" think? What I picked are what might seem like older types but these could be sexy for ANY age... meaning if Gran wanted to wear them she could and not be looked at as wearing 'hooker' shoes :P And the ones I picked could all work with various heel heights (my personal fave is a kitten heel - tiny but low).

 

Please do. I know next to nothing about shoes beyond my own personal preference so it'll help me greatly.

 

I just heard from Sweetiiger and it's very interesting if we can pull it off. Can you post some sort of notice on the various Flickr group lead page? I know there is a group just for Carina so maybe there are many I don't know about.
Fish mouth style
ok~Are you want this color matching of fish mouth shoes?
this one is gorgeous.this is picture about it in different colours.that is made for SD16.
you also can choose colours by you own.
and by the way,you can give me a picture of the shoes you want to make order (can be people shoes).before A formal production,they will made a model for you.
if really you can get enough buyer for 100 pairs.I can give you a nice discount that for sure.


- sweetiiger

 

I am deff interesting in this too!

 

Wait.
What?
I seem to have missed something here. Do you mean to say, that someone out there is willing to make (as MadamMauMau called them) strippers shoes!?
Or perhaps a tasteful, peep toe, slingback;

that will fit EID, SID and YID....sign me up or point me in the right direction, please.

 

I'm interested also. I only have a handful of shoes as my girls are specific about what shoes they'd wear.

 

...although another perspective would be to have Iplehouse just shave some off of the Iple SID/EID foot so that they could share the growing wardrobe of shoes available in SD16 size!

Wow - I had not seen Sweetiiger's shoes and had given up looking on Ebay for a while now. I did buy Tata shoes and love them but I can't bring myself to try to stretch out the sides of them like that so my other dolls wear those

I love your suggestions Ashbet.

There are so many amazing shoes available for my fashion dolls and it does get a bit disappointing that my big girls have to "make do" with some fairly simple styles.

 

both maybe? but we need tasteful more.... "stripper shoes" are the in trend right now so they CAN be found lol. but I love you pic... so cute and not on stilts tall! even a closed toe like that would be nice ^^ ... I'd own them for me if I could still wear heels -_-

 

Since I've been messaging Sweetiiger back and forth about this and because my entire work life I was in the rags business I will volunteer to be the liaison with him for production purposes. If that's suits those of you who may want to do this project.
I draw so I can do up sample sketches of color ways when styles are decided on. I do not want to coordinate people or money I'm really not good at that.
In terms of styles for a first order it would probably be good to choose one they are already making.
They will need a pair of feet to make a master last.
The sole molds probably have a lot to do with the expense and if they have to change them for Iplehouse feet.
There are a few styles that Sweetiiger has that are basic now or did, a plain pump with a small platform, a pointed pump with a bow which could be left off and a high heeled sandal with an ankle strap. There have been others, but they sell out and then that's it.
Would a flickr group dedicated to this work ?

 

as a liason I'm good with you ^^ and does he have an EID foot he works from? since I doubt he has the 'new' doll and I don't know if the SID foot changed like the YID did when it became nYID... and can multiple ppl upload to a shared flicker? (I'm still newish to flicker). I only know how to muck about in my stream.

Also I did upload a few samples of strapy shoes in timeless styles. Here is one and the rest are in a 'set' with it. Note the 'elastic' portion that adjusts to the foot. If the back heel strap was stretchy you could do away with 'working' buckles and slipping shoes on and off would be easier. Styles like this mostly all can be adapted to heel height and size (from stiletto to wedge). I will see if I can find some of my and my mom's old shoes to take pics of. We used them in theatre a lot since they often were styles versatile enough to go casual or dressy. And I was a shoe-aholic >< with tiny feet so no heavy clumpy types if I could help it ;p


Dress-Sandals2 by DoA Lady Tiku, on Flickr

EDIT: Okay was looking again at th ebay page with the shoes... I owned a pair like these with a 1.5 inch kitten heel in burgundy in th 80's (smaller bow and less than a 'peep toe' opening.... I love these and they are a prettier version of a style IH already makes ^^ Another way to describe the type of shoe some of us are asking for is the "ballroom dance shoes" ... the kind used in competitive ballroom dance, from full pump to Latin dance style shoes.

 

I sent Sweetiiger a message to find out an idea of price per pair with 100 piece order. I asked him to use the peep toe sling back as the example.
He wanted to email me some photographs, but Ebay will not send a message with an email address in it. I told him to try to find it on Paypal since I just bought a pair or shoes from him. I guess that will work. I have found a sellers email that way, but I don't know about the other way around.
I think the hardest part will be finding a style everyone can agree on.

 

I'm interested in whatever everyone agrees on, but Ashbet's comment:

I'd love a pair of plain black ballet flats (not patent, no ornaments except for possibly a small string bow), which fit more like actual ballet flats (thin sole, foot-conforming fit.)

Sticks in my mind as a very good idea. They could work with a lot of different styles and the flat feet.

 

I think the problem with a "soft" sole is the ability to balance these 'heavy' dolls... Personally since my eventual doll wardrobe will be many regency era characters clothing sets this would be perfect. (Maybe time to check Pinterest for authentic shoes of that type ^^. Even the men need something similar for 'court' type shoes. So maybe a bit of a compromise in style to accommodate a wider variety of looks. Simple flat with a 'thin' but full solid sole? Similar to the red shoe Iple already had but maybe a thinner sole or just in basic colors? nine9style has one too that can be embellished with clip on decorations... I'd kill for something like that for EID size O_o

 

I'm fine with a thin sole, I just don't want a chunky-looking one that extends past the edge of the shoe -- I don't mind if they're "faux-ballet-flats", as long as they're simple. The sole on the IpleHouse black suede flats is an acceptable compromise, IMO, although they could be cut a little bit deeper toward the toe cleavage. If they were available in leather in various colors, I'd just buy them from IH and take the straps off.

I know that Sweetiiger has an SID Stella, so they presumably have a pair of high-heeled and flat feet on hand.

MadamMauMau, I really like that pink SD16 pair you linked, but I think the last would be too narrow, and I'm not sure that the material could be stretched without gapping . . . so I don't think they'd work for IH girls as-is, but I definitely think they're a good style to show Sweetiiger as something we'd like to have made in IH width/length/arch shape!

LilsGirl, if you'll coordinate communication with Sweetiiger (I'm not well enough to do a bunch of back-and-forth stuff right now, and I've been out of my ADHD meds for two weeks because my insurance is messing with me, so I'm even less up for it than usual), but I've coordinated plenty of group orders, and I can do that side of it when/if we get to that point (making a spreadsheet and managing payments is easier for me than hammering out shoe descriptions, and is closer to my office-manager/payroll work experience, LOL!)

I would not be up to doing the packing/mailing, we'd need to find someone able-bodied for that (I have a degenerative genetic disorder and have been needing to use a wheelchair lately, so post-office runs are something I try to do as seldom as possible, since I'm not driving right now), but I think that could be managed. (I could keep a list of names, addresses, and shoe orders, and could pass that along to the person doing the physical mailing, but I can't pack/mail an order of this volume myself.) Just being clear what I can and can't volunteer for!

Below are some types of shoes that I would like to see made for EID.

Riding boots
http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...ouboutin&N=4294912355+306418049&bmUID=kencLVg

Sexy sandals
http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...der_id=282574492716173&bmUID=ken9WfO&RVL=true

Wedge sandals
http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...ouboutin&N=4294912355+306418049&bmUID=kenIFma

Gladiator sandals

http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...ouboutin&N=4294912355+306418049&bmUID=kenIFm4

Hightop sneaker and low top sneakers
http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...ouboutin&N=4294912355+306418049&bmUID=kenIFlN

A basic pump with or without platform, it doesn't really matter all I want is a non chunky looking high heel.
http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...ouboutin&N=4294912355+306418049&bmUID=kenLADE

These are just few examples, I would like to see nice high heel boots, dr marten style boots/combat boots.

 

I have those shoes. My SID Zera is wearing them right now in fact. She stands great in them.

sunnysailor: you can look at Nine9style to see if they have any sneakers. I got mock nike hightops and adidas low tops. Not sure what they got now though.

I looked in sweetigers shop and i wouldn't mind these in EID/SID/nYID size or something similar. And not necessarily in thise colours.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-heeled...721?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20dd674399

Anice pair of wedge sandals would be nice, nothing too strappy and also a pair of heeled brogue type shoes.

 

One thing I'd like to see is a sandal that is genuinely foot-baring, like the Louboutin linked above -- thick straps are cute for a chunky look, but sometimes you want a more elegant, graceful style.

I highly recommend getting 60cm BOY sized sneakers and flat boots -- they work quite well, in my experience. (70cm boy size is too big and disproportionate.) I haven't had width issues with sneakers sized for SD13 boys.

-- A

 

I still haven't gotten a price idea from him, but he is probably waiting for some choices from us. He sent a very long list of photos. I'm going to try and make a flikr for this. If I need help I will yell. Once that is done there needs to be some way of voting there too. It may be easier to do two rounds to narrow it down and then again to finally get one style. So we need a commitment from those of us that are interested that we will go with what the group chooses or there is no point in going through all this. If this is successful we can do it again.
Please help on what to name this Flickr group so people searching for EID SID girls can find it. I hope it's possible to add a poll to vote on the group page. I also think whoever is doing the money will need a deposit as a commitment.
Any comments or ideas to help make this work??
I am a frigging shoe freak and at my age I have stopped wearing anything taller than a kitten heel so I live vicariously through my dolls. That's why I get so frustrated with Iples bland ladylike shoes or the other extreme hooker/gansta dripping with hardware. We need a happy medium also.The other problem is moderate pitch of the foot requires a platform of some kind to get a high heel.
I keep adding to this post.
This is his answer on price;

"i can give you 15% off than i sell them.but the price is up to the style and the mabric, the price before the discount
you know that normally between $30-$40.(or at 15% off $25.50-$34) i can give you free shipping send them together to america.
hope this are helpful."

I'd say, name the Flickr group "IpleHouse EID SID nYID Woman Shoe Samples" -- that way, it will come up on searches.

I have a paid LiveJournal account, which allows you to do polls (I'll have to see if people without accounts can vote, though -- they wouldn't have to have a paid account, but I think they'd need to at least have a free account to vote.) That's a quick, free, simple way to do it.

When you have the Flickr group up and running, please give us a link!

-- A

 

Yes I agree with Ashbet, I think naming the flickr group "Iplehouse EID SID nYID Women Shoe Samples" would make it easy for ppl to find the group.

 

I got the Flickr up finally. I added a shoe style Sweetiiger sent and did quick sketches of color ways for you all to check out.
There is a discussion area and we need to decide if there are rules. I am the admin (ahh yikes!). We do need a way to do polls.
I'll try to get more styles up from what he has or has had. I have an edgy pair he doesn't have up anymore. If we can stick close to something they are already making we will probably get a lower price.
I am willing to commit to buying multiple colors, but the lower the price the easier it will be for me to do that.
The title is the one you all suggested and if you think the description needs changing let me know.
My 90 year old mother is sick so I may not get this done really fast, but I will do it.
Oh, also is there a way someone can go plant the news on other forums or in the other Iple Groups here on Flickr ? Maybe they can just leave there name in the discussion area if they are interested? But then we might need an email and that may not be okay with people. Ideas?
Here is the link.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/2513968@N23/

 

Awesome! I just added a picture of the delicate pumps that I'd really like to see them make (they already do them in SD16 size.)

I posted a link in my Flickr, and I'll add a link to this discussion in the other IpleHouse threads
