Before I start, I must thank Mai (Mai Little Alien) and JET SET for including my work at their booths even tho I cannot physically go there myself this time, information in Japanese and English here~!
I still have a bunch of stuff to do (oops) but after taking some photos of the final items… gotta document it :P
I did not make as many items as I would have hoped, but those which I finished up I am pretty happy with The theme I decided on is “Summer in Puppy Love” and I aimed for a clean and simple look.
I must say having this short term goal to work towards makes me push myself harder, despite some on and off interruptions. I am really glad that I also drafted some final patterns which I will use to make/finish some items to list for sale online soon-ish :D
The only downside is, due to this being very labor intensive on my end, my hands suffered from being poked by needles and dryness ^^; and late nights and backaches… =_=;/
The good thing is I know that I am careful with the items made and I do like how they turned out :) and my girls get to keep some of the test pieces I think ^^;
Mirin, L-bust DDII body
Himitsu, M-bust DDII body
Cardigans fits M bust/L bust differently from Dynamite body :3
Nyanko, DD Dynamite (DDdy) body, the peasant tops are made to fit Dynamite body, but fit the regular body too, just the final look is slightly different.
Working side pockets for the hot pants for Dynamite body :3
Managed to only finish one pink cardigan (oops) gotta cut moar ^^;
Good thing is I did reserve 2-3 grey hot pants for Dynamite body for the future online listings, I’m just missing a couple buttons, hope to get them soon.
Thanks for looking! And thanks for the hard work my dear girls!
Wow! Your girls are so pretty! You did such a wonderful job on those outfits- I’m sure they’ll go super quick!

hi, Chun,
love all your pic, i’m newbie in DD world, plan to get mine soon, either Yukino or Aoi,i just wanna ask, can the DD stand up without using any stand?is it very easy to change the wig, eye, and upper body part?i plan to get the DD Option Parts DDdy-B-02 Upper Torso Part (Shapely Bust) and change it myself with a current DD, for instant Yukino, erm..how big different measurement(in cm) between L burst type and DDdy-B-02 Upper Torso Part (Shapely Bust)?one more, for an DD outfit selling at Volks, which stated “for DD with L burst only” can it be fit with DD that have DDdy-B-02 Upper Torso Part (Shapely Bust)?sorry if i ask too many questions at one time, i just want to make sure i get the appropriate DD. thanks in advance ; )

Hey there! Hmmmm you know what? I cannot answer all of your questions as I did not do everything just yet, have you tried checking out the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/dollfiedream/ ? I think there are people there who are more experienced, they might be able to help you out :3
DD can stand without using stands BUT since they are quite tall, if there is a gust of wind they can fall over ^^; Difficulty to change: torso>eyes>wig. By the way, Yukino have an M-bust, Aoi is the one with L-bust.
I actually do not own the shapely bust (I think it’s the bosom being push together one?) I believe someone mentioned before that if the outfit which fits L-bust (most of the time a dress) has a high waist design it’s more likely to fit a DDdy body. Hopefully I got the answers right cos I’m rather tired now :P

Hi Bernard…
DDII and DDDy have a different chest design. There is no way of putting a DDDy chest on a DDII. If you really have your heart set on a Dynamite, and you like the Yukino head, get a DDH-03 head and a DDDy base body. You can do this through Volks USA.
You would have to get someone to do a faceup or do a faceup yourself. However, this is not hard to do. Step by step DIY tutorial from Volks USA here:

More DIY goodness here:
http://site.volksusa.com/sumikatimes/2009/07/15/dd-double-take/
I have a friend who does all of my faceups…my Yukino has a stock faceup but I have a DDH-04 Mini Dollfie Dream girl whose face was done by her. Check her out here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/msgeek/4429572245/
She also did the faceup on my Obitsu boy, which has a more realistic looking face than a DD.

This is her Super Dollfie Cute with a Mini Super Dollfie head:

And this is her Twing-key MSD-size girl:

If you are not feeling comfortable with doing your own faceup there are people like my friend and others who do professional faceups.
Hope this helps!

I think when you get a bust part they do come with instruction on how to wiggle it out ^^ and yes since this is quite a big purchase, always good to do some homework :D
