Where to buy a homemade Dollfie Dream outfit?
I’m thinking about purchasing a Dollfie Dream with a dynamite body but the clothes made for them are so very hard to find and others don’t fit. Does anyone know someone who sews for these dolls? I can’t really sew anything myself.
If you are thinking of getting involved with abjds or (Asian ball jointed dolls), it’s a good idea to join several forums. Here are 3 links:
*Den of Angels—probably the largest and most well known abjd forums, but they are very strict with the rules, especially in regard to which dolls are on or off topic.
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/index.php
*The Red Shoelace Society on Live Journal—a really fun, relaxed forum. Lots of seamstresses belong to this forum…you could definitely find someone very easily here!

*Resinality–a great all around abjd forum (named as such because these dolls are made from resin)
http://www.abjds.com/
There are ‘marketplaces’ on all the forums and you can buy everything from dolls to clothing to photography props, both new or second hand, right there.
Ebay also has lots of clothing for abjds….at different price points from different seamstresses.
There are also online stores like Dollmore@http://www.dollmore.net/ and JunkySpot@http://www.junkyspot.com/OBITSU/forums/
that carry clothing that is pretty reasonable.
Join the forums, they are really helpful for learning about the different aspects of this hobby. These dolls are an expensive investment, it helps to know as much as possible about them before you buy your first doll. (Yes, that’s right, I said “first doll”, because these dolls are like potato chips, you can’t stop at just one, they are very addictive!)
