Three Ladies

5/31/2021

I took some comparison photos of Naomi with two of my FID ladies in order to show the difference in resin colours. Bianca, on the left, is Iple's Special Real Skin, Naomi is SJ Peach Cream, and Yvette is Iple’s Normal....
Picture
Naomi is definitely warmer than Iple's Normal. I did compare Naomi's hands with Yvettes, and they are a close match, but Yvette's hands have been blushed, and Naomi's have not., so after blushing they'd become darker.   I don't have any IH Peach/Gold dolls so can't say how she compares to that, but my guess would be that she's lighter. 
Picture
Naomi has wider hips than my Iplehouse ladies, but all my Fashion sized costumes are either high or low waisted Fantasy gowns, so it doesn't matter, and they fit her just fine.

SartoriaJ doesn't sculpt the protruding nipples on their ladies, so they won't stand out through thin stretchy clothes like the Iple ladies. Not that I have any clothes like that for her anyways.

I got her with the 'Pose Elbows' which means her arms can swivel at the elbow joint, allowing for more natural posing possibilities.

I had to remove her hands in order to get the tight elastic bands, that hold up her hanging sleeves,  on the upper arms, and SJ conveniently included 'dressing balls'.  They were really easy to switch out since the 'S' hook on her hands is very long, and the end on the elastic into her arms is pinched shut so it won't pop off.

I also changed her feet to the high heel ones, and she also has the elongated 'S' hooks there, making it very easy to switch feet.  However her high heel feet are very high, and it was hard to find shoes that worked.

They are three very pretty ladies. I probably wouldn't have noticed their coloring as much but now I see it. Thanks for helping us learn to focus on these things.

I am looking forward to the next story you create with them.

Thanks. Well, people who collect this size are always interested to know how the dolls and resin colours compare from one company to another.

Before I get into any stories, I first need to just do some more portraits focussing on the new girl. And introduce her to Baron, now that Rosie has left him.
