New Kimonos for the whole clan...

[Iwa_Hoshi]

I have the new White ALNA coming and a special version of Aoi.

Alna's a lovely one, she's more mature looking then the rest of the DDs to my eye. Do you have a link to the special Aoi?

Yukata are casual kimono worn during the summer months, usually at festivals, or at bathing resorts. Whereas formal kimono are made of silk, lined, and hand-embroidered and/or painted, yukata are made of cotton, unlined, and are usually a simple repeating pattern print. There are other differences, such as the undergarments worn, the way the obi are tied, and so on and so forth, but those are the main things.

I need to start making yukata again to sell. Maybe some for cherry-blossom season next month...

In my experience, one of the big differences is the price. You can get a cute yukata for 2800-5000 yen, but kimonos seem to run about as much as dolls do!

Wow!! Awesome!

[Misheru]

Thank you for all of the information about the kimonos and yukatas and how to wear them. That is similar to India dress, so I think I can relate that in my mind now.

I will try to find a pic of the new Aoi sculpt and see if I can post her.

And yes, I love Alna, too.

This is the special Aoi sculpt and she will have the shapely bust for the DDII body. I have parabox brown animetic eyes ordered for her and peach pigtails . She is going to be named Kurumi.

She is the Volks News 40 VIP edition.



Here is the WC version of Alna. I am naming her Ayaka. I love the pale version. Very soft.

she... looks more like Yukino. Oh wait just notice the shape of her eyebrows looks different, Gotten a little too used to her aggressive eyebrows

[Misheru]

I thought she looked more like Yukino as well painted like this. I never cared for Aoi's angry look so when I saw this version, I fell in love with her.

I like the new Aoi she looks...Different. Less of a mean kind of character and more like a serious ninja or something...

Angry Aoi has character, she has that "I can kick your butt." look to her (makes for a serious Chun Li). I like her but she's not my style of doll. My doll group's Aoi no1 looked kinda mellowed out to me after Aoi no2 joined in.
