Dollieh Sanctuary

I'm currently considering buying a dress for my incoming BJD (Doll Family A-Line). The dress is said to fit SD13. I looked online and I can't find important measurements, like waist size for instance. Does anyone have these measurements, or could you get them for me is you own a Super Dolfie 13? I'm most concerned with waist size and shoulder width.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm new to the hobby but it is my understanding that the SD13 just refers to an overall size of doll (58-62cm I believe) and that the exact dimensions between various brands and even styles of bodies withing the same brand can be different.
I googled Doll Family A-Line and found the following dimensions:
Measurements:

-Height: 58cm
-Head Circumference: 21cm
-Neck Circumference: 8.8cm
-Shoulder Width: 11.5cm
-Arm Length: 20cm
-Chest Circumference: 25.2cm
-Waist Circumference: 16.8cm
-Hip Circumference: 25cm
-Back Length: 13cm
-Thigh Circumference: 14cm
-Leg Length: 32cm
-Ankle Circumference: 7.8cm
-Foot Length: 7.2cm

My BJD is a Doll Leaves Doris who is also the same height but her Shoulder Width is 11cm, her Waist is 16.5cm and her Hips are 25cm.

From what I've been told unless the chest is very large most clothes are ok although trousers can be a problem with different leg lengths.
Shoes are another matter that I'm trying to get my head around at the moment

Hope this helps but I am most certainly open to correction if I've got it wrong

Thanks! I figured they were a pretty normal size. The only reason I worry is that the seller listed two other dolls, one of which was a Senior Delf. I looked up her measurements (the only measurements of the 3 dolls I could find) and her waist was a good 2 cm smaller than my dolls waist. I wasn't sure of the SD 13 shared that same tiny waist or not.

Doll sizes (SD, SD13, MSD, etc.) are sort of like people sizes. They are general size ranges and can have a lot of variation from one company's SD to another company's SD. It's like looking for clothes for a "teenager" or an "adult". Does that 5'-6" teen have a 28" waist or a 36" waist?
Check for actual measurements when ever possible to avoid disappointment.

K2 is very correct because these days they can vary greatly.

SD, MSD, YoSD, SD10 (original SD), SD13, SD16...all of these terms began with Volks resin dolls and then became 'generic' definitions for similar sized dolls of other brands. Volks terms were based on the age they designed the dolls to be (10, 13, 16 and then MSD would be either pre-school age for standard MSD or they also have a more mature body at the same height called SD Cute; lastly Yo-SD is their tinies line).

actual Volks SD13 measurements are:

Volks 13 Large Bust
Height 58-60 cm
Head 24.5 cm
Neck 9.3 cm
Shoulder 10 cm
Arm 18.5 cm
Bust 23.7 cm
Waist 19.8 cm
Hips 25.6 cm

or the newer SD13 body-type is called SD Graffiti (SDgr):

Height 58cm
Head 8/9 or 9/10 (wig size based on head model)
Neck 8.5cm
Shoulder 8.75cm
Arm length 18cm
Bust 22.75cm
Waist 16cm
Hips 24cm
Leg Length 26cm (inseam)

I don't know if that helped at all or just made it more confusing, but I wish you the best.
