DD and 50cm Clothes?? Help ^^;;
Mon 2011/08/15 00:15 JST
Hii :3 Just a question, I used google but couldn't find anything..
Today I bought a cute hat for Yumi (DD) it was for 60cm Dolls and normally 60cm fits good but this time the hat was a bit too big :/..
Is that normal? And I see so many 50cm clothes (more than 60cm).. Does anyone know if they (or the accessories) are compatible with a DD?
And are clothes for Super Dollfie compatible with DD?
Please give me tips ^^;;;

Can you post some pics with Yumi wearing the hat?
Made a quick one ^^;;
I also bought an other hat which fit perfectly but it was both from Azone and 60cm :/.. so strange..
And do you know if she's compatible with 50cm or / and SD clothes?
My limited experience with outfits originally designed for SD or similar sized dolls that aren't specifically designed for DD is pretty much that it'll be a hit or miss.
I do have some SD or other original designed items that fit perfectly, others are a bit too big, some a bit too tight, some only fit DD, some only fit DDDy...
Sometimes it helps looking around of other DD owners have similar or the same gear for their DD else you might just have to risk it (taking a chance recommended mostly for outfits that aren't too expensive). ^^;;
Ah.. T__T...
Some clothes at (example) Mandarake are for SD and DD... but I guess they aren't originally for DD then?
It's so difficult to find good clothes for her.. And I prefer buying in stores (since I'm in Japan) than buying online T__T.. Have you any experience with 50cm doll clothes?
but the thing is.. most DD stuff is sold online tru Yahoo Auction ><" .. im also having hard time getting anything for Kotone-chan here T_T
Ah T__T...
Ah! you called Mari Kotone-chan? :3
Original name! :3
ahaha .. thanks to Comrade Yunamon for suggesting . Japanized name for Cortana. a character in the game Halo3 which i cosplay as Master Chief. Cortana is the AI that helps Master Chief.
If they are designed/created by Volks then you should be pretty safe.
So far I've stuck mostly to Volks clothes, Dollmore SD sized stuff, Nine9Style SD sized items, CoolCat DD sized items.
Difficult ^^;; Why isn't there a bigger selection XD Buying a DD is so expensive you would at least think that they will have plenty in stock / for sale in Volks store too :/
Sometimes I do wonder that too. Though depending on the style you want your DD to be, getting outfits that you can mix & match could be interesting.
Yes mix & match would be awesome! I love simple clothes, cute sweaters / hoodies, cute skirts etc. I don't want to dress her up in big dresses etc... I just love simple, pastel colored clothes..suits her white hair.. T__T I was really surprised with the limited supply..
The Maido set I got for Maiya was a bit tight to get on her. The set was from Dollmore, but she's a DD-Dy body.. (bit snug across the Oppai! ) Looks good, but I'm hoping it stretches a bit..
My one complain with Volks is while they have quality stuff, quantity is lacking. They will make sets for a limited time, and then thats it. You have to try to chase stuff down online with condition being questionable.
I wonder how much they will update there stuff? Do they have other outfits each week or..? Really difficult to find nice and simply clothes.. T__T
Tell me about it. I've got my sister making a red with black lace pimped out goth dress with a little bolero jacket for Glenda. ( see my dress dummy posting for what she will look like) but unless you pick up used, you will need to look around a lot.
Dolk seems to have lots of 50cm stuff, but the 10cm difference in hight means only very loose blouses or skirts might fit a DD.. You will have less trouble with the Dollmore and Obitsu 60cm fashions than I as your girl is a DD or DD-II. DD-Dy have rather large OPPai and big buts by comparison. ^_^ (looks over shoulder to check that Maiya is still occupied with her "project")
I wish I could make clothes too T__T Would be much cheaper I guess ^^;;.. Thanks for all the tips ^O^
CoolCat stuff is awesome ...
60cm clothes usually will fit .. some will be a little bit snug-fit. shoes kinda ..bring a ruler !! ..they need to be 7cm.. hat .. didnt has any experience with that so i dont know . some SD13 clothes will fit .. wait .. or issit SD16 .. errr ... damn i forgot .. maybe the experts will answer u on that one.
how about 50cm clothes? Do you know more stores than DOLK, Azone, Madarake & Volks? (and Geestore)?
im going to hunt for some stuff at Nakano tomorrow .. err .. today .. i will let u know ok ..other stuff, im not sure as well. i think someday i wanna try walk around Akiba and try to look for Dollfie stuff shop.
about 50cm, im not sure since i never bought anything that size. even my plushies uses 60cm clothes. i will ask my friend if he knows.
I went to nakano a few days ago :) They have a Mandarake for Dolls! They have 2 boxes with 2nd hand clothes :) (mixed: DD, SD, MD etc) :3 I bought a jeans and a cute light grey hoody with a zebra on it for her ^O^ There is also a shop on the 3th floor with 60cm clothes and accessories ^^
owh really ? ... i must go !!
Since your Kotone-chan is a cool looking tomboy girl I think they will have clothes that will suit her!! ^O^ for my pastel/light colored clothes girly yumi it was a bit difficult T__T Tell me how it was ok? ^O^
ah you're in japan?!?!?! envious XD and 50 cm clothes may not fit properly unless it's stretchy? ^^;
*nods* :3 until the end of December :3..
Ah too bad about the 50cm.. They have a really big supply of 50cm clothes and they are all very cute!!!
T___T
kyaaaaa XD I know the funny thing is some of the 50 cm clothes (azone/obitsu body)fits my MDD ^^;
Lucky T__T I see so many cute 50cm clothes.. *sob* T_T Poor Yumi... T__T
DDS is 50cm technically... =P
*still eyeing on Louise MDD*
Yumi reminds me of Sora-chan from Haku's photoshoots! :0 She is very cute! Sadly I can not help you with your hat problem. Maybe you can get some custom made from people on here or on another bjd forum known as Den of Angels. There is also flickr for dollfie dream owners, might be some people there ^_^.
I've seen her! She's really pretty!! And his other "Mio DD" too!! :3 (with grey hair). Thanks for all your tips!!! :3
I'm having the same problem with Sae and clothes for her.
I haven't tried any 50cm clothes, but might give them a try depending on the cut & cost.
I have had some success with Dollmore clothes as well as Azone clothes. Not much sucess with Panties for her as the last pair I brought for her was a tad to big.
Her Sailor/school outfit is a bit loose on the skirt so it looks like someone in the family will be taking that in for me and that came from JR toys in HK who are also on Ebay.
I think buying doll clothes is a bit like buying adults clothes from different outlets - the cut and style will differ.
T__T why is it so difficult! DD are so expensive?! It's ridiculous! They should offer way more ^^;;.. T__T
I bought this hat at Azone, and it was to big, but another hat I bought there fits perfectly ^^;;
So strange.. oh well T__T..
You should start making some yourself ^^
Tokyo got some awesome fabric, haberdashery and accessories stores.
Can make everything you dream of for a fraction of the price you'll pay on YHJ! as well as Volks.
And it'll be to your style as well, less frilly ;)
Also, would say it's half the hobby from my perspective anyway.
But I can't sew T___T Never could.. It was a disaster when I had to sew at school ^^;; I really can't.. and I don't have money to buy a sewing machine too and stuff T___T..
Ah, ok, well, maybe try some simple handsewing at some point?
Could always do simple things like stockings, hats, skirts etc.
You should defo explore the bead shops though, do some jewellery.
DDs are known for being a little tricky to fit--their busts n butts are a bit bigger than normal SDs, but their waists are way smaller. It's part of why we often end up buying online--wider selection.
I know Nightfall Walker has stuff specifically for DDs, and Alice's Collection has a few labeled as being for M bust DD: http://www.alicescollections.com/clothes-c-3.html M bust DDs can also wear Iplehouse YID clothes, though not SID or EID. As for Volks stuff, they often label their SD stuff if it'll fit DDs.
As for sewing stuff . . .Are you on Den of Angels? If not, give me your email and I can send you an invite. There's a section specifically for sewing clothes and making props, with *tons* of fantastic tutorials, many of which are friendly to complete noobs. For doll stuff you don't really need a sewing machine either; hand sewing is not only just fine but in some cases the only way to get into some of the tinier seams anyway. (And as for fabric? Start stalking your fabric stores' remnants bin. Seriously, it's always marked down and almost always plenty of fabric for a 1/3 scale piece of clothing. I've also bought cheap clothes at thrift stores to re-purpose as doll stuff.) And in the "Larger Dolls Discussion" section, there's a DD centric thread where you can pop in and ask about the fit of any mass-manufactured items you might have your eye on.
Thanks for the tips!! ^O^
Really useful!
I won't start sewing yet, but when I will I will contact you :3
Arigatou!! :3
You're quite welcome! It does take time to figure stuff out, so I'm glad to help things along. :) And take your time on the sewing; it never hurts to build a little fabric hoard even when you're not sure what you're going to use it for yet.
This is probably why I bought Azone 50cm doll instead of a DD ^^; I see a lot of Azone 50cm outfits, so I figured I'd be safe getting one of them, lol. Funny enough the dolls sell out fast, but the clothes seem to stick around for a while. I'd be poor if I see nothing but 50cm outfits there 0.o
I wanted Mio so badly.. I'm picky when it comes to dolls.
I only wanted her (or Saber) :3
But the clothes - 50cm are more available indeed ^^;; (and more my style)..
Yup, I'm picky too. I like my Ellen II, but I don't like Ellen I, lol. Time to switch her body maybe :3
You need to join this forum. Most of the people there are from here.

I was at Figure R on the weekend. Saw Yui for Y50,000. I should have gotten her right there and then. But, she was gone by the next day. :(
Congrats on your Mio. She's a cutie. :D
Thank you so much!!
Ahhwww.. yes I was there too and I saw that almost everything was sold out.. they only had 3 DD left ^^;;..
You're very welcome. :D
I go and check their stock every day. At least until I have to leave in a few days! LOL :D
