A little help, please?

Hi everyone~

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a few sizing questions. I just ordered a RS/BBB Mei (the elf version of Ya), but I don't know what size wig will fit her and it has me all confused.. I was also wondering what size eyes I should try for her. I've heard 14mm or 16mm would work. Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance <3

I would definitely go for size 14 on the eyes- 16 would be too large.
On the wig- my Mei has a 7/8 gLib wig and it is a tiny big large. Wigs are hard because every wig company's sizes are different, so it kind of depends on the wig. If the wig has some stretch to it, I would recommend a 6/7.
Hope this helps!

Hi Chaye, I hope this helps! I actually switched between 14mm and 16mm before I found out I liked 16mm better (but I like the large-eyed anime aesthetic more, personally)

These are 14mm acrylic "Reborn" eyes (which I would NOT recommend, because these eyes tend to pick up the light strangely and look possessed, but at least you can get a feel for the size)

These are 16mm acrylic BJD eyes.

Also, I find that the 6/7 wig works best for Mei. I got her a size "7" wig to try, and ended up having to modify it because it was too big.

PS-sorry for the huge pics. I'm still a noob here and am still getting the hang of posting!

oh! thank you for the visual ^^ I have to say I like the look for the 14mm... they look very innocent and pretty. Thanks a bunch!
