New Products: Eyes

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009


The Eyes are finally all loaded. There will need to be some sorting of these, but the big hurdle has been cleared.

All Dollisles Eyes are made from glass. Most of them are available in the full range of sizes: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm and 20mm. Some of the specialty eyes are only available in the upper range 14mm-20mm.

Here are some examples of the specialty ranges available:

The CJ range have a glittery metallic look to the eyes. There are 16 colours in this range. They are available in size from 14mm-20mm and are priced at $30 AUD.




The D range have a yellow and orange toned starburst around the pupil. This pattern is laid over the colour of the eye giving it a variegated colour. There are 11 colours in this range. They are available in size from 14mm-20mm and are priced at $50 AUD.



The Y range have a intricate geometric pattern overlaid over the main colour of the eye, usually in a darker shade of the eye colour. There are 11 colours in this range. They are available in size from 14mm-20mm and are priced at $50 AUD.



The Sunshine range have a white flower petal pattern like rays coming from the sun. There are 10 colours in this range. They are available in size from 14mm-20mm and are priced at $41 AUD.



Please note that the text in pink/purple is not on the final eyes, it is only typed on the picture.

The ‘basic’ eyes come in all sizes and have a wide variety of styles. They are all $20 AUD. Here are some samples, but please visit the eyes section to see them all.

I will be going through naming the eye colours as names are more informative than a collection of numbers to identify the colour. If you would like to name a colour, please visit the contact form provide a link to the eye you’d like to name or it’s current code identifier, the new name you’d like it to be know by and if the name is used you could win a pair of eyes, a discount voucher or another gift from Red Lion.

Review: Black Embroidered Dress (Cutie)

Friday, September 25th, 2009

The Black Embroidered Dress is a three piece set for Cutie sized dolls.

The dress set comprises of a dress, striped shirt and socks. The dress features embroidered details made from ribbon and a wool like thread.

It’s a very sweet set and can go from summer to winter. It would suit many little girls. It also comes in red and pink.

A very pretty little set.

Review: Black Laced Boots (Tall)

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

The Tall sizedBlack Laced Boots are definitely one of the hottest pairs of boots in the catalogue. I love them as much as the Short Cowboy Boots and realistically I could go on about those for hours!

Baring similar features to the Short Cowboy Boots, studs, pintucks, buckles and a combination of textured and patent faux leather but slightly toned down the Black Laced Boots are taller and seem a little less flashy. A slightly more every day boot than the other pair.

The studs and buckles are silver, they lace up the front but have a zip in the rear for easy dressing.

A great pair of boots, definitely on my dolls wish list.

Review: Black Lace-up Boots (Cutie)

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

The Cutie sized Black Lace-up Boots blew me away when they arrived recently.

They are the cutest little shoes you’ve ever seen.

The details are simple on this style of boot, but so well done for the tiny scale.

I didn’t try them on my little girl, I wanted to get them back out, but I got some pics with the Tall sized boots.

I’m sure you can see how tiny they are. So sweet.

They’re perfect little boots and a definitely recommend them.

Review: White Laced Boots (Mini)

Monday, September 14th, 2009

The first review this week is of the White Laced Boots in the Mini size.

A simple white laced boot with clean lines. They are made from faux leather with a zip at the back for ease when dressing.

These boots come in both Super and Mini sizes. It was the Mini size we received, unfortunately as I currently don’t have any in that size I can’t show you the fit.

They are great every day boots that can be worn with some dressier styles. They suit modern casual clothes, Gothic and Lolita styles as well as vintage looks.

Highly recommended.

Review: Black Tabbed Boots (Mini)

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Today we review the Black Tabbed Boots in the Mini size.

This front lacing boot has a bound fabric strip up the back with a little tab that can help get the boots on and off. It has a zip on the inside of the leg for easy removal.

These particular boots were in the ‘Mini’ MSD size range so I can’t show you fit. But I do have a red pair I own in the Super range that fit all my dolls well (I’ll review them at a later date).

This style of boot is available in Red and White as well as the black.

They are great every day boots, their clean lines can be worn with modern casual clothes, gothic and Lolita styles as well as some vintage looks. They can be a great all purpose shoe.

Highly recommended.

Review: Pink Top Set (Super)

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

In the last order we received the Pink Top Set in the Super size.

The hoodie is made from a pink knit and the singlet a white synthetic knit.

We were a little disappointed with this one. The fabrics were different to the pictured fabrics in colour and type. The pattern was also slightly different with a bound neckline rather than faced as it appears to be in the photo.

The top was returned as this brighter pink and fabrics did not suit the doll they were bought for.

Sadly it appears materials can change without notice. The client that purchased this item was fully refunded.

Please contact me if you would like to purchase the set (please use my pics as a guide not the Dollisles one) it is currently in stock.

Review: Black Heart Cut-Out Shoes (Mini)

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

We had a pair of the Black Heart Cut-Out Shoes in the Mini size in the office a little while back.

These are very cute little shoes made from black patent faux leather with teeny heart shaped cut outs placed around the foot and on the ankle straps.

Sadly my pics aren’t the best.

Unfortunately I don’t have any dolls in this size to compare foot sizes but I was rather impressed by the shoes. The buckle mechanism is supplemented by a little hook that tucks in behind the buckle. This makes it easier to take the shoes off as you don’t need to operate the tiny buckles, just unhook the hook to get them off and on.

These shoes suit a variety of looks. Working with Lolita and Gothic styles as well as a modern casual look.
