Question about BJD seamstresses
[info]positivespace wrote in [info]manikamanila
Hi everyone!

I'm leaving for the Philippines from California tomorrow night and I'm hoping to find a seamstress near Makati who can make me a set of traditional Filipino outfits for my girl and boy VOLKS SD Cutes (similarly sized to MSDs). Thing is, I'm really not sure if I want to take either of my dolls with me on my trip. Do any of you know of anyone in that area who is familiar with the size/proportions of these dolls where I could just come in and request what I want without having either doll present?

Any help would be appreciated! Maybe I can just bring detailed measurements as an alternative?

I'm Cheryll, by the way, I won't be able to make it to your Christmas meet, but I look forward to seeing pictures! It's pretty awesome that there is such a solid group of collectors out there!

Hey guys~

>o< So it's my first post on this community, and I'm REALLY close to buying a BJD. He's going to be a Junior Delf Terra from LUTS [I'm naming him Kaden 8'D] and I'm debating on whether I should get a wig from him already from the LUTS website after having read about there being a custom wig maker here in the Philippines.

I'm curious if they're still active or not >.< Plus, I've got a bunch of questions regarding shipping and payment and stuff, so um... yeah ^^; anyone care to help me out?

Thanks in advance :>
