The fact that etsy now allows dropshipping while still claiming that they don't is so audacious, the site is literally worthless now. I feel so bad for the artists having to compete with floods of dropshippers and people shelling out $80 for a bjd outfit being like "it's worth it to support local artisans" when in reality they're buying an item from taobao that actually costs $15 and is sold for $25 on aliexpress and ebay. Not even joking the etsy markups are that bad. I wouldn't even hate these taobao resellers if they didn't try to scalp the prices so much and were honest about being resellers instead of making it look like they are the ones making the clothes. Not to mention all the recasts on there...
Anyway, here's some of my fav legit doll clothing shops on etsy:
RopitasKawaii: pullip, blythe, and rainbow high lolita dresses from Spain
AtelierMilabrocc: casual pullip, blythe, and barbie clothes from Poland
Yukijiro: pullip lolita dresses from Hong Kong
Cottonhoney: cute 1/3 and 1/4 bjd clothes from Thailand
HelloCoolCat: clothes and supplies for pullip and blythe from Taiwan (they also have a website that has more stuff for bjds)
Toocuteclub: printed graphic clothes for rainbow high and 1/3 bjd from USA
Ninaherisson: 1/3 bjd alt clothes from USA
Balljointedsoulmates: cute casual 1/3 bjd and minifee clothes from Austria
TiffyCuppyCake: 1/3 and 1/4 bjd sweaters/sweatshirts and hoodies from USA
MilkyWayDreamsFR: cute 1/4 bjd accessories from France
DollishSweets: cute 1/4 and 1/3 bjd clothes, accessories, and eyes from USA
PetiteBonita: cute 1/4 bjd outfits from Indonesia (includes custom measurements)
EliteDollWorld: casual smart doll clothes from USA
YumeWearShop: cute and casual 1/3, 1/4, and 50cm bjd clothes from the Netherlands

As it turned out, i actually had some blank eyes lying around. So i quickly painted them and they came out perfect! Just the right size. So i was able to put her all together. Yay Perona! All i need to do now is make her some hair bows (i used stickers in LINE this time. Note how i forgot in one pic lol), and maybe some kind of crown.
I love her so much. I'm going to get her so many dresses.
Finally have a use for this wig

BEHOLD, FINALLY COMPLETE SAPPHICS!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I won Utena in the lottery, but Anthy was Very Popular (that's what happens when you release a dark skinned doll for the first time, so I don't blame anyone for buying her just for her body!!!)
But this meant I had to put Anthy together myself (gotta reunite!) Got her outfit/wig/eyes on the secondary market (bless <3 ), and was SUPER lucky to get one of the Volks DD Icon replacement bodies....
Then it was just a case of color-matching a DDH-09 head to the body and painting her. With juuust a little bit more glitter and bling than the original release (she deserves it.)
Also discovered by chance that the DD eyes are translucent for a VERY anime worthy effect XD
