Hi Everyone
Please I need help...while I have made a few dolls (and I mean very few!) I am confused! confuse
I went to order some things from secrist to do a doll not thinking of size for eyelashes
and now I see they have different sizes for them!

I have always done the same size doll so I haven't had a problem.  Can someone tell me if it will matter if I use a 20 inch eyelash on Secrist Ming Doll?  I am about to do her
and don't know which eyelash to order for her.  Please help if you can...I would be so greatfull  for any help!!

Thank You So Very Much
Kathie Winecoff

In Oz, I use Short Medium Thick from Dolly Anna, I think this size suits most dolls but if it is a sleeping baby I use their mini's. The lenght of the eyelash doesn't matter, you mesure from the inside of the eye to outer edge and if it is too long you cut to suit. Hope this helps. I usually use Medium Brown or Dark Brown, on most Babies, unless you are doing Black hair then I would use Black lashes. Even on blond haired babies the brown lash seems to give the eye definition. Most real babies are born with darker lashes. Hope this helps. XXXXX June.

If they are too long I don't worry about it, I just cut them to fit.

Thanks so much for letting me know this. I am so new to this
I never would have known to do this, much less done it for fear
that I would have ruined the eyelashes!

Thanks a Bunch!!

Another tip; when you take the lashes off the plastic, when you look at it that is the side the lash goes on, also it is easy to remove the glue with eucaluptus oil, I usually use a needle or tooth pic to remove them, you can also soften them on the plastic with the oil first. I use tiny nail sissors to cut them with. XXXXX June

Those size lashes should work. Like they said, be sure to cut the outer (wider) end if they're too long.
Yes, I agree, this is how a forum "should" work! :)
