Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for getting bulk lots of clothing. To be honest, I could learn to sew, but I'm busy with my current hobby- which is designing my own BJDs. I'm finally tweaking details on my own personal sculpt, but this means I'm churning out dolls. I'd like just some simple clothing so I'm not hoarding naked dolls lol.

Honestly, just some plain dresses would work. I'm hoping this doesn't count for sale by suggesting, but if anyone would be interested in making me just like 10-15 smock-like dresses, I would be happy to pay for that :) I am def gonna cloth my girls in fancier outfits properly at some point, but right now when I'm mostly making them to learn and tweak, I just want them to not be naked without shelling out for complicated outfits. It's a pain to steal the clothes off my other dolls to take pictures then have to redress them.

I wonder if they can be made of silicone, maybe with a metal inside (and an external magnet)? And if there are more ways to do this.

I had dolls with eyelids, they were baby dolls, but their eyes would open and close with gravity. If you laid them down, they would open, sitting up, they would close.

Hi everyone! So I recently managed to score an old Volks Ken on Vinted for £50. He's really stained and dirty, and is definitely a restoration project, but I've been in the hobby since 2010 so decided to give it a go and try and bring him back to life.

I'm having issues with his headcap in the sense it just...doesn't stay on. There's no way to connect it or to secure it so it's sort of just balanced on there?

I can see there's a really old Den of Angels post about this, but since it's "asleep" right now I can't access it.

Does anyone with this doll, or a similar old Volks doll, have any solutions? I feel like I'm missing something here? 😅

Sharing some pictures of my favorite boy so far❤️

Head: Luts Bory Body: Luyun-Sookiva Doll

She's a Coral Reef White Rabbit currently waiting for another doll I have coming in to be dyed and fully painted. I've never sewn doll clothes, and I really wanted her to have big poofy bloomers, and she's got fairly hard proportions to find clothes for. Thinking of making her a dress as well, however I need to work out the courage for that, as well as probably look up a pattern or two as this was sewn on vibes and hopes and dreams alone. Still I think they came out super cute! First picture is just something random put together on top so she's not just naked on my shelf.

If you ever seen this doll (1st image), they are called “Lulu Homemade”. Unfortunately, not only are they off shelves, they are quite expensive for second hand market. While browsing for 1/12 dolls, I happened to come across this body called ”Qimeng” that are built for both OB11 and 1/3 heads (direct link to store | note: there are other resellers but it doesn’t necessarily mean they are fake. Just make sure the store you buy from is legitimate as the body comes with a certificate).

This is a perfect alternative if you are looking to create a smaller scale chibi! My advice is if you do purchase this, get a head that is rounder. This compliments the proportions more as I found regular heads to be “uncanny valley” on the body.

*I am still awaiting on my arrival so I will include reviewers examples. 3rd - 5th slides are all using Qimeng.

I got these girls a few years ago second hand, i still dont know much about BJD'S but i would love to share and learn more! Any name recommendations?

(Please correct me if im wrong)
