Chanel looks dolly 😞

Well it’s official. My Chanel looks really dolly to me. Did anyone else discover this when reborning her? It’s a shame too because she is my first Caucasian baby. Im Rooting her hair now and I will decide what I’m going to do with her when I’m finished.

Can we see her? Most do, but that doesn’t mean it’s not cute, but I have seen a few who passed beyond that and created a really cute “baby”.

She’s a whip with hair partially done. But yes I can post pictures. (Oh and one eyebrow thats been rooted and needs to be trimmed down.

That’s disappointing. I’ve been wanting to get her

I did an adjustment on her upper lip. It’s too pointy for me and I I think that’s what makes her look so ‘dolly’. I haven’t painted her yet but it looks much better.

She looks ok to me, once you get her eyelashes done I think she will look less Dolly, she is cute!

Thanks. I’ve been getting frustrated and thought about stopping with her. I will go ahead and finish her.

You did a great job on her lips

Try some side peeking eyes on her. See if that helps. Also, raise the iris toward the top just a bit to reduce the staring look. That’s another thing that makes dolls look dolly.

Here’s the one I did ~ she does have a dolly look to her, much like Shyann, but she sold right away. Still, I don’t think I’ll ever do another one:

Ok I will try that. The kit called for 20mm eyes but they seemed to be too small for the sockets so I went up to 22’s which means that they don’t have room to be repositioned. I will pop the 20s back in so that I can position them a different way. Thanks so much!

Here’s mine. When BB released her and Candy they had a contest. I entered but didn’t get selected. I was depressed about 3 months. I can’t even look at her without remembering that pain. I deleted all her pictures except this one.

I think Chanel looks dolly anyway. However it seems the ones we think look dolly sell the fastest.
