ideal for dolls such as Obitsu 11 (between 1/12 and 1/8), Puki Puki, Lati White.
These miniatures are perfect for creating detailed, realistic scenes.
1/8: One size bigger.
The 1/8 format, for dolls measuring 12 to 15 cm / 5 or 6 inches.
Such as Lati Yellow, Pukifee, Barbie's Shelly, Kelly and certain reborn babies, offer a wide variety of suitable accessories.
1/6: The Perfect Balance. For dolls measuring around 30 cm/12 inches, such as Barbie, Pullip and Blythe, the 1/6 format is ideal.
Phicen models, slightly larger and wider than Barbie models, also belong in this category.
1/4: For Large Collections.
The 1/4 format, corresponding to dolls measuring 38 to 42 cm/ 15 or 16 inches.
Like BJD MSD, Minifee, Unoa, Bimong and Tonner, this range offers more imposing furniture and refined details.
1/3: The Elegant Giants Finally, the 1/3 format is reserved for dolls larger than 50 to 60 cm/ 20 or 23 inches.
such as Feeple and Smart Doll, including larger versions like Feeple 65 or 70 /26 or 27 inches.
These dolls require sturdy accessories proportionate to their majestic size.
Whether you're talking about mini reborns or BJDs, it's important to take into account not only the size of the babies, but also that of the "mommy" dolls. This will enable you to create more harmonious and realistic scenes.
For example, my BJD babies (section dedicated to babies measuring 10 cm, or about 4 inches https://www.sunnyshop211.com/categorie-produit/bjd-bebe/) are specially designed to match Minifee dolls.
This means that accessories such as beds, diapers and other childcare items are proportioned to be used by dolls of this size.
So, when designing a space for your babies, make sure you choose accessories that are not only suitable for the size of the baby, but also for the size of the "mom" who will be handling them.
By following this logic, you'll achieve more coherent, aesthetically pleasing scenes, where each element is perfectly proportioned. Whether you're creating a baby's room, a play area, or an everyday scene with your doll and her baby, you'll be sure to get a harmonious result.
