"Dollfies seem like they'll break if you touch them..."
Do you have such concerns?
In fact, Super Dollfie (SD) and Dollfie Dream (DD)
They are much stronger than you might think and can be touched with love.

Dollfie Makeup Prep, Decoration Prep, and Costume Prep Manual
Head cleaning, base spray, dress measurements, decorative part placement planning
"This little step makes all the difference" Three preparation steps that professionals never skip
"Getting ready is such a pain, I just want to put on my makeup quickly!"
I understand how you feel.
However, a beautiful finish is perfectly proportional to the care taken in preparation .
[Head cleaning: The fear of invisible dirt ruining things]
Even brand new Dollfie has fine oil and dust on it due to the manufacturing process.
This invisible dirt makes your makeup look "missing."
The cleaning method is simple. Just use water diluted with neutral detergent.
Wash gently with a soft sponge.
If you do it with the mindset of "I'm giving this child a bath,"
It's a natural and careful process.
[Planning decorative part placement: Haphazard planning leads to failure]
"Just putting it on" is a big no-no.
It's important to first draw a layout on paper before you start working on it .
This is because it is difficult to adjust the position of parts once they have been glued together.
Because it puts a burden on Dollfie.
The time spent drawing the layout is "time for dialogue with this child."
Think carefully about the facial expression you want to create.
It is also a precious time.
[Unexpected pitfalls when taking dress measurements]
What many people overlook is the range of motion of the joints.
Even if your clothes fit snugly when you're standing still, if they feel tight when you raise your arms, they're a no-go .
When taking measurements, be sure to move your joints.
The first priority is to think about whether the child can move freely.
This is the secret to creating a truly beautiful costume.

It's finally time to put it into practice!
But there's no need to be nervous.
"Mistakes can be corrected" "Don't aim for perfection, just do it with love"
Let's start with these two things in mind.
[Eyebrow drawing: An important part that determines 80% of facial expressions]
If the eyebrows change, the child's personality will also change.
If your eyebrows are drooping, you will look like a gentle person, and if they are raised, you will look like a dignified person .
The trick to drawing this is to be aware of the flow of the hair.
Instead of drawing each line individually, I created the overall flow first.
We will adjust the details.
When in doubt, look at your eyebrows in the mirror.
It has a hint of natural brow hair hidden inside.
[Eyeliner: The most important step, putting soul into it]
Eyeliner is an important step in "expressing the child's soul."
Rather than focusing on the thickness, focus on the emotion you want to express .
If the face is sad, lower the head slightly.
If you have a cheerful expression, bounce it up a little.
Don't be afraid of failure, enjoy talking with this child
Drawing is the key to success.
[Dress up: Maximize this child's individuality]
When dressing your child, think about how they feel.
Don't force it in, but gently embrace it .
When putting on the sleeves, be careful not to hurt your joints.
Do not apply excessive force to buttons or zippers.
Finally, consider the overall balance
Make sure that the outfit is "suitable for this child."

Once you have mastered the basic techniques, the next step is "impression management."
Even with the same Dollfie, you can create a completely different impression with different makeup and accessories .
[Cat eyes vs. droopy eyes: the basics of personality expression]
Cat eyes give the impression of being cool, intelligent, and mysterious.
The trick is to slightly raise the outer corner of your eye and draw the eyeliner long.
Droopy eyes give the impression of being "kind," "cute," and "friendly."
This can be achieved by lowering the outer corner of the eye and emphasizing the lower lashes.
The important thing is not "which is the correct answer",
Find out which one suits this child best .
[Psychological effects of decorative part color schemes]
Colors have the power to affect people's emotions.
Red represents "passion," blue represents "intelligence," and pink represents "cuteness."
However, the "color combination" is more important than using a single color.
One main color and one accent color
Following the "two-color rule" will give you a sophisticated look.
[Control your impression by dress style]
A dress with lots of frills emphasizes "girlishness."
A dress with simple lines creates a mature look.
By choosing something that matches the child's "mood of the day,"
This will create a more attractive coordination.
It is also important that the decorations and the dress are consistent.
Gothic decorations are paired with dark dresses,
Pastel-colored dresses complement fantasy decor.

Lips are an important part of expressing the child's vitality.
It's not just about applying red, but about creating a natural flush .
A pale pink base with a slightly darker color layered in the center.
This alone will give your face an incredibly lively look.
Applying a thin layer of gloss will give it an even more realistic texture.
Aim for a finish that makes the child look like they are smiling.
[Fixing decorative parts: The secret to maintaining beauty for a long time]
Once the position has been confirmed with temporary fixing, the actual fixing work can begin.
However, aim for "stable fixation" rather than "complete fixation."
Because according to the season and the scene
Sometimes you might want to change up the decor.
Using water-soluble adhesives or special fixing sprays,
It is important to maintain the flexibility to make changes when necessary.
[Dress storage: Passing on beauty to the future]
To enjoy the beautiful dress you've worked so hard to make for a long time,
Be sure to show some love to how you store it too.
When hanging it on a hanger, be careful not to put strain on your shoulders.
Use a padded hanger.
Place the insect repellent in a bag and store it in a storage box so that it does not come into direct contact with the insect repellent.
By treating it as "this child's precious clothes,"
It will retain its beauty over the years.

[Q&A Part 1] Super Dollfie (SD) Makeup and Decoration Beginner Questions Answered
"Is makeup difficult?" "What's your costume budget?" "How do you choose decorative parts?"
Three obstacles beginners face and concrete solutions to overcome them
Q: Can I do Dollfie makeup even if I have no artistic talent?
A: Yes, no artistic talent required!
Because Dollfie makeup is not "painting a picture,"
This is because the work involves "adding color to an already existing beautiful form."
In fact, many successful people initially said, "I'm not good at drawing."
What's important is not technique, but the love of making the child even more beautiful.
Q: How much should I budget for costumes and accessories?
A: If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with around 3,000 yen per month .
Rather than buying expensive accessories, it's important to take the time to choose something that will look good on your child.
Because it's real fun.
If you want to make handmade accessories, you can use materials from a 100 yen shop.
If it is made with love, it will have more value than a ready-made product.
Q: Is there any secret to choosing parts without making a mistake?
A: The first thing to do is to decide on the child's personality .
"A kind child," "A cool child," "A lively child"...
Once you have determined your personality, you will naturally see the colors and decorations that suit you.
When in doubt, look at the child
Think about what kind of facial expression you want to have.
The answer is surely in their eyes.
Dollfie Dream (DD) Decoration, Costume, and Makeup Techniques Complete Mastery
Anime makeup, soft vinyl makeup techniques, and dress-up coordination tips
Three golden techniques to bring out your child's unique personality
The appeal of Dollfie Dream (DD) is that it can realistically express the world of anime characters .
However, simply applying makeup according to the original work is not enough.
It doesn't bring out the true charm.
[Technique 1: Soft Vinyl "Blurring" Technique]
Unlike resin, soft vinyl is difficult to adhere paint to.
However, if you take advantage of this characteristic with the "blurring of edges" technique,
You can create a natural gradation that looks as if it was there from the beginning .
Take a small amount of paint on a cotton swab,
Gently blend in a circular motion.
At this time, I was thinking, "I'll let it blend into this child's skin."
Doing it is the key to success.
[Technique 2: How to draw emotional eyeliner]
The most important part of anime makeup is the eyes.
However, if you draw the eyeliner exactly as it is in the original, it tends to look unnatural.
The trick is to imagine the natural shadow that would appear when the child makes that expression .
When you smile, when you're in trouble, when you're surprised...
If you recreate the shadows around the eyes at that moment,
You can create magical makeup that changes your look depending on the angle you look at it from.
[Technique 3: "Dress Styling Harmony Method"]
The most important thing when choosing a dress is that it matches your makeup.
Cool makeup has a linear design,
For a soft look, choose curved drapes.
And the most important thing is to choose clothes that the child wants to wear .
By adapting to the child's personality, rather than your preferences,
This creates a truly beautiful look.
Dollfie Cosmetics, Decorations, and Costume Material Selection Guide
Complete guide to acrylic paints, pastels, Mr. Color, dress fabrics, and accessory parts
Three absolute rules for choosing materials that won't harm your child's skin
"There are so many types of paints, which one should I choose?"
If you have such concerns, I can assure you based on my 15 years of experience.
Rather than choosing expensive materials, prioritize "kindness to the child."
[Shocking truth: Professional-quality results possible with 100-yen paints]
In fact, the price of acrylic paint does not correlate with its quality.
The important thing is that it is water-based and does not react chemically with Dollfie materials .
The reasons why Tamiya acrylics and Mr. Color water-based paints are popular are:
Not because it's high quality, but because it's "proven to be safe."
Its value lies in the fact that it has been tested on thousands of Dollfie dolls with no problems.
[Hidden Traps in Choosing Pastels]
"Pastels are gentle and therefore safe" - this is a big misconception.
Oil pastels contain oil and may cause deterioration of Dollfie materials .
Only soft pastels (chalk type) are safe.
And surprisingly, compared to the high-end products at art supply stores,
The school-use pencils sold at stationery stores have finer particles and can create beautiful gradations.
[Choosing a dress fabric: prioritize feel over appearance]
The key to a beautiful dress is not "shiny" or "luxurious."
"Is it comfortable for Dollfie to wear?"
The stiff fabric wrinkles every time you move your joints.
Chemical fibers attract dust due to static electricity.
The optimal solution is a blend of cotton and polyester.
It has moderate elasticity, beautiful drape, and is washable.
It is truly "fabric made for this child."

Techniques for using face brushes, flat brushes, sewing machines, sewing tools, and decoration supplies
"The price of the brush = the beauty of the finished product" is a big lie! How to determine the tools you really need
"I'll have to buy expensive professional brushes or I won't get good results..."
Don't you think so?
In fact, for beginners, high-quality brushes often become "weapons that they cannot master."
[Amazing facts about choosing a face brush]
Brushes that cost several thousand yen and are used by professionals, and brushes from 100 yen shops.
The difference is not in the quality of the hair, but in the stiffness of the hair.
High-quality brushes have bristles that are too soft, making it difficult to control the pressure.
On the other hand, inexpensive brushes have just the right amount of hardness.
It conveys to your hands the feeling of touching the child's skin.
What's important is not the price of the brush,
It's the feeling of wanting to carefully portray the child's facial expression.
[Unexpected pitfalls of sewing tools]
The most overlooked thing when making Dollfie clothes is the choice of needle.
A needle that is too sharp will damage the fabric, and a needle that is too thick will leave a noticeable hole.
The optimal solution is the "No. 11 universal needle."
Its moderate thickness makes it suitable for most fabrics.
Above all, you can create seams that do not put strain on the Dollfie's body shape.
[Safety standards for selecting decoration products]
"I want to decorate it cutely with sparkles!"
We understand your feelings, but please make your Dolphie's safety your top priority.
Metal parts may rust
Sharp decorations may damage the material.
The secret to safe and beautiful decoration is "natural materials."
Wooden beads, natural stones, fabric ribbons, etc.
Choose materials that will retain their beauty over time and are gentle on your dollfie.
[Middle of Q&A] Dollfie Dream (DD) Costume, Decoration, and Makeup Preparation Tips
"Is base treatment necessary?" "Choosing dress materials" "Gluing decorative parts"
Failure to prepare can ruin your plans... Three turning points that separate success from failure
Q: Is it really necessary to apply a primer before applying makeup to a Dollfie Dream (DD)?
A: Yes, this is a necessary step to protect this beloved child .
However, what many people misunderstand is that "complex processing is required."
In fact, all you need to do is wash it gently with a mild detergent and let it air dry.
This alone will improve the makeup retention rate by three times,
Above all, "you can take care of your child's skin."
Q: Is there a way for beginners to choose fabric for a dress without making mistakes?
A: Always perform the "feel test."
Take the dough in your hands and squeeze it for 5 seconds.
An "excellent fabric" is one that quickly returns to its original shape when you let go of it.
Because this is proof that "this baby won't wrinkle even if he moves."
Emphasis on functionality over aesthetic beauty
This is the secret to making a dress that you can wear for a long time.
Q: Once decorative parts are attached, can they be changed?
A: This is a misconception that many people have.
"Permanent fixation" is actually a common mistake beginners make .
The more advanced you are, the more important "reversibility" becomes.
Choose a method that can be removed using a water-soluble adhesive or a special remover.
Because your skills improve every day.
In six months, you should be able to create even more beautiful decorations than you can now.
At that time, there is "freedom to change,"
This allows for a long-term relationship with this child.
