Eye size help? First doll x.x im Kinda clueless bout eyes...

Postby SugarCorpse » Thu Aug 02, 2012 9:35 pm

Does anybody know which size of eyes would look best in my new Doll-love Anona I ordered? She isnt here yet but i would like to order her a pair of eyes before she gets here and i dont know what'd be best for her.

Ive heard dolls can wear different sizes of eyes depending on the look you want, does anyone have pics of the size differences for similar dolls?

If you go back to the site you bought her from, you should be able to find her eye size in the listing for her. Generally, 1 size up or down from the company-recommended size will work, depending on the look you're going for. (Although sometimes the eye pockets in the head prevent larger sizes from being used.)

Post a link to the listing and I'll see if I can find it.

I don't know what to tell you other than to try both and see which you like better.

Generally speaking, smaller eyes make the doll look older and larger eyes make it look younger. It will affect how much of the eye space is occupied by the iris.
