I use either my hot glue gun or Dr. Scholls Moleskin. A lot of people swear by the hot glue. If it doesn't work out for you Brad, it's always easy to peel it off after it cools.

I wish you luck Caolan! Which one do you think you will get? If and when you do get your first Lusion you should join us at Face Book. There is a Lusion group there that chat and post and share as well.

lol i already joined the facebook group XD and lurk it >.>;

at the moment I have plans for a golden dahlia, an ice dahlia, and one she-who-must-not-be-named :3 As to which one i order (now pushed to october XD ) i have no idea and it will be whatever one throws herself forward when I go to order :p

[Teddy]

I'm coming to this rather late (Part IV of the Lusion thread wow!) but hoping someone can poitnme at a list (if one exists) of clothes that fit these girls?

I'm thinking Himstedt doll clothes and the like would probably work, but have only just ordered my girl today and would rather not have to wait the 3 months until she arrives before getting some clothes together for her and would rather skip the worrying about whether they will acutally fit when she gets here.

Thanks

I bought a few things from Dollmore on a separate order so I can compare them to other clothes. My doll isn't here yet either, so I can't make specific recomendations.

I've had good luck with toddler clothing. What has worked best for me is a size 4-5 toddler shoe, and size 2T-3T in clothes. For most clothes I've had to take in the waist a bit but its not too hard to do. American girl doll skirts work, although they end up being a bit short. Most of the American Girl tops don't really fit because of the sleeves and neck, but I have one tank top by them that is an exception to the rule. I've also made a lot of things myself. Overall, I think the Lusions are easier to sew for than smaller dolls since you have a bit more space to work with.

I didn't think of that - but I don't like most of the clothes Dollmore offer for them, so....

Hmm I wonder what the UK equivalent sizes are. I know Hilarie has had some luck with the longer styles of 0-3 month dresses form Monsoon for her girl.

Overall, I think the Lusions are easier to sew for than smaller dolls since you have a bit more space to work with.

I'm hoping to buy /make some stuff before she arrives, so if anyone knows what doll-patterns work on the Lusion body (without needing the body there to fit them on) then I'd appreciate a heads-up.

I think I saw a Lusion wear a Himstedt original. You must let us know how it turns out with the Himstedt clothing. I've been using toddler clothing myself. Some work, some don't. It's a hit or miss thing.

That does sound exciting for sure!! So, if you supply her with measurements she perhaps will do something for your girl? Keep us posted on this, please! And up date us on FB too!!

Teddy,

What style clothing are you thinking of?

Will do - after she arrives some time in October.....

Teddy, What style clothing are you thinking of?

"Old-fashioned" sums it up best, I think.

I have a few Victorian/Edwardian baby dresses that I hope will work on her they're narrow enough in the shoulders/body yet long enough in the skirts that they should work, possibly with no more than a bit of hem adjustment (hopefully without).

I had some similar clothes made by a seller on ebay who made for himstedt. They were close - a little large in the torso area, but nothing a safety pin or two didn't fix. I also like the Vistorian/Eduardian (inspired) era for my girl. She is playing Alice right now though.

[CaolanAisling]

yeah I just got some lusion clothes from dollmore so I'm gonna be one to use them to measure the fit of toddler clothes and fix them up as needed :3

That's very useful info - thanks!

Sounds like our girls will be dressed in similar styles then.

I must remember to keep my eyes peeled for suitable kiddie -shoes while in Chicago next month. There are bound to be different styles available in different areas of the world (although, I do already have 3 pairs of boots and 2 pairs of shoes put aside for her, so perhaps I should take it easy on the shoes and boots).

I would be too! Those ears are just so cute.

I don't have a FB account (don't like it very much) but thank you for the kind offer. I have searched for owner pictures through google and flicker and the ones I've seen she looks kinda yellow-ish. I know she is white skinned but she just seems like she has a yellow "glow" about her. I don't know if its the lighting in the pictures, or just my eyes.

Your Nell is beautiful, Morelle, thank you for posting her.

Hello, raevynvelcros! I have Ice and I've posted some pictures to the Flickr Lusion group, plus there are a couple of pictures of mine on the older Lusion discussion threads.

Cheers,

Az

Hi everyone!
I have been in total silence in the last few months about my Dahlia project, but finally i can jump in the Dollmore waiting room with one. I still can't believe that i finally managed to get a Dahlia.
I've been thinking about getting her for more than 2 years, that was when i started to think about it seriously... i'm sooo very excited about her.
So, i'm sorry if i'm blabbering too much... ^ ^"

Nonsense!

Who wouldn't be excited at the prospect after all.

Hello everyone. I just got my Ice today so I am sharing. Also, a few of us folks as in devoted Lusion lovers have joined up and meet on Face Book. if you would like to join us there too, please let me know. The FB Lusion group is a closed group and very friendly.

[animefan]

[morelle]

Thank you Brad!
