Where did you buy your Bory? How long did it take? Why did you choose this purchase method?

My Bory was gift from my boyfriend on my birthday last year.
I ordered her myself thou. From Luts website
She arrived almost exactly on my birthaday, it took Luts around month to send her out.
I wanted to be sure that it’s purely new. Few months before, I got my Blanchet, real skin normal, and she yellowed very awfully withing few months. I didn’t want the same thing to happen to my Bory, so it had to be new (I keep her in a box :< ).

Why did you choose Bory?(What factored in your decision to choose it? Like was it it’s skintone, body, posing, and so on?)

I chose Bory mainly because of the sweet and sad face mold. I especially loved Luts’ pictures of her in whiteskin. Gorgeous face up! It made my heart beat faster. For me, Bory of all other Kid Delfs is most curious and original. I chose her in whiteskin, mostly because I had normal skin alreay (yellowed badly but still ).

What parts of your Bory do you find different from the company’s photo’s/information on Bory’s?(For example, do it’s eyes seem bigger in real life than the photos, is it’s sculpt more dimensional in real life than the photos, is it taller than the height stated by the company, and so on.)

I didn’t pay attention to check wheter sculpt is different in real size than the one stated on Luts website. But I do think my Bory has slightly more mature look on her face. But I guess that’s face up’s work.

Who did the face up? If custom, why did you choose this face up?

I did the face up myself. It’s my Bory’s 2nd face up (previous was also mine, but I didn’t like it at all).
I wanted her to look natural, sad and mature.
That’s why the eyes are in soft colors, eyebrows in ’sad’ shape. And lips are naturally red. She has also a lot of blush on her chicks. I’m especially fond of lots of blush like that, I have no idea why

Where do you get your Bory’s clothes? If bought, are you happy with the selection available for your Bory? If not, what do you wish more for? If you make your Bory’s clothes yourself, is it easy to find material to make clothes for your Bory? Is it difficult or easy to make clothes for a doll this size?

I make all my dolls clothing by myself. And usually sell them later on
I’m a seamstress. I have drawers full of different kinds of fabrics and accessories. Choosing material is not a problem. When I have idea for an outfit, I usually know already what kind of fabric would fit that type of the outfit most.
I must say that sewing for little dolls is more complicated than sewing on SDs. Plus Bory is my first MSD. But I think I got used to it already!

Are you happy with the posing/body/sculpt?(For example, do you wish the doll was taller, more range in joint movements, a smile, and so on.)
She poses like a dream!! I love it!

Body type is sweet as well. Some dolls’ companies don’t pay attention to detail and sculpt of arms, calfs, thighs etc. The sculpt is gorgeous!
There is probably one thing I’d change if it was possible. Her arms are extremy long! When she sits, she can’t place both of her palms on the ground next to her body, because she might lift herself up!
It’s annoying sometimes, but I guess I can get used to it.
