First post on here! Glad I found this subreddit :) I'd never be able to afford a doll that wasnt a recast probably, lol. She's my first 1/4 scale bjd, and first bjd in general that's not a cheap smaller blind box doll. Also the first doll I've actually wanted to name, meet Dahlia! First pic is a before & after of when I first got her and now.
I've already customized a lot of things about her, it's been really fun. Gave her tattoos(feel free to ask how i did it, its honestly something you wouldn't need to be an artist to do), more facial piercings(& replaced the snake bites on the lips, since they came off super easily so i made sure they were attached more securely but it made them thicker). I got some eyeball silicon molds and made a bunch of custom eyes for her. Added a bit more blushing, eyeliner and lip gloss. Also painted her nails, cut the pink wig myself from a default uncut and unstyled wig with some thinning shears. Made the black thigh highs attach to a handmade garter belt and added the hearts to them. Also made the buttons on the grey beanie
I'll definitely be adding more to her, and updating the group with how else I customize her :) feel free to leave any suggestions if you have any!
