Sizing Eyes?

Postby ShadowKat » Wed May 08, 2013 8:19 pm

So, this may be a bit obvious, but how do you figure out the size of a pair of doll eyes? I have a pair of LIV eyes I love, but I don't know if I can use them in the future.

The eye size is the diameter of the eye.

Basicially it's sizing the millimeters, if I recall correctly. You can just put it up to a ruler, or under a clear ruler to see.

Yes, the size is in mm.

Liv eyes are 10mm but the iris is a bit smaller than on some 10mm eyes from what I have seen. I'm actually using them a lot in my Delilah Noir dolls. They fit a fashion to slim MSD head pretty well but you'd probably want to go a bit bigger for an MSD with a bigger head.

Thanks! I thought it would be that simple, I just wasn't sure. I've only had 1 other pair of dollieh eyes before, and they were tiny 6mm. Looks like these will be a size too big for the head I was planning, but I guess I'll hold onto them until I get it. I might be able to make them work. Thanks again, everyone!!!
