Dollieh Sanctuary

I surprised all of the girls with parcels this weekend...specially commissioned kimonos (yukatas?) for each lady.

They all sat on the bed anxiously waiting for their package and Mariko helps pass out the parcels:





The new girls, Susie, is especially excited to have hers since she was basically naked at the time (as Mariko is pointing out, "Cover yourself young lady, we don't do that when Dad gets the camera out."):



Okay, okay...I got it!



Katsumi seems thrilled with her prezzie!



Mariko is impatient as always and tell me to just get on with it.




Everyone has their package, so time to open!




One for each girl and they seem happy:

purple for Mariko



pink for Susie



lavender for Makoto, green for Toph and red for Kira



pink for Miu



black & red for Michiko



light green for Katsumi, turquoise/teal for Mikazuki and a huge kitty hat for KitNya



everyone's gifts, including those not present yet:



Group shot once everyone is dressed!











Thanks to Aria Dear for such wonderful work.

More like Yukatas to me. Love the one that Makoto is wearing.

Oh and left lapel over right, the other way round is worn during wearer's burial

Very nice. I see somebody was busy sewing.

Iwa_Hoshi is right on which direction the lapel should be. Some of your girls have it on wrong.

Such pretty colors and fabrics! And Such pretty girls! Vinyl Envy here - I love the vinyl girls!!

What a lovely group you have! It's so nice to have everyone properly clothed.

By the way, I think we're all interested in the breeding program you've got going.

Thank you everyone. Yukatas I am new to all of this. Is the difference because kimonos have the inner layer?

I wasn't sure which direction they went because both sides were the same. My apologies. I think everyone has been changed into a different fashion now, but I will be sure to do it the other way around next time.

Left over right...correct? Right is underneath and left on top?

Thanks again.

And thanks also to Zircon & K2. Yes, the clan keeps multiplying - QUICKLY!

Two more Dollfie Dreams on the way and Highlander is dying for a 50cm Obitsu Megu. (They all have yukatas waiting )

We just had to order enough replacement bits from Parabox for two older bodies we acquired that it was almost a whole new body, but that is the fun of Obitsus.

Loads of vinyl love in our house!

I'm not sure if inner layer makes a difference but Yukatas tend to be lighter, shorter and casual (sort of meant for summer months and Ryokan stays) while Kimonos are thicker and longer (correct if I'm wrong)

yup left on top. at least its spotted now instead of after a lovely photoshoot.

I love how all your DDs, Obis and bjds are sitting together creating a wide range of face sculpts. You're getting a Megu?(Mine's waiting for her wig) her sculpt is lovely and and quite gentle looking, love to see your take on her.

Megu is the dolly that Highlander (my husband) is wanting next. He has wanted her for a while, but we had a few floating head in need of bodies and then a friend had a lovely up for adoption and she had to come live with us. But I think Megu has such a beautiful face. I want one of her in the future as well.

I have more of the Dollfie Dreams, though Katsumi, Katara and Makoto (all Obitsus) are mine. I have the new White ALNA coming and a special version of Aoi.

I like having all of the different sculpts. Lots of diversity.

Thanks again.

This might help on how to wear a kimono.
