The shipping is too high!
We've made a $75 order for free shipping threshold to help customers when they start purchasing lots of items with us. As much as technology helps us, it cannot predict all the configurations of every item we put in our shopping cart, the size of the box it needs, and how we have to packages multi-item shipments - whether it needs one box or two. It provides an approximate and we often have to adjust that and either refund you or contact you with a correct price for shippin

Why do Pre-Orders and Back-orders Take so long to get in?
Bbeauty Dolls designs and manufactures it's own product lines. Some of our products are made in small batches in our in-house sewing and design workshop and larger scale collections are manufactured from our designs overseas. It is a long process from the design phase/testing through to the manufacturing production. In prior years, there was an average turn around from when we placed an order to receiving the order in our stock of about 2 months. For 2025 and 2026, we

eBay or your Website What's the Difference?
If you've done a Google search lately, you may have seen that the top page search results for just about any product you look for is taken by marketplaces like Amazon, Mercari, Ebay, Etsy, Ruby Lane etc. and sometimes multiple times. With that kind of placement, we wanted to capitalize on that advertising. We've also found that many doll collectors use Ebay as a #1 place to research the value of dolls, shop for new or used dolls for their collections, and search out supplies

Fantasy for Dolls - Issue 15 The Story of Felani and Doll Maker's Notebook
An Intro to Doll Maker's Notebook What happens when you request a custom doll? I have the pleasure of customizing dolls for their people, and many wonder what the process is! First we talk and agree upon who will be customized. When I receive the head of a doll in the mail, I make sure I label and keep everything together. I use inspiration pictures and ideas from my client to make their ideas come to life. I need to clean the doll's face of factory paint, stains, and su

Fantasy for Dolls - Issue 14 Glinda
Welcome to the final day spent in the "World of Oz" together. For this last day, AG Doll Magic has saved a very special ensemble for you all - Glinda's Bubble Dress and Accessories! This final ensemble was the most intricate of the entire "Oz" collection and it took me nearly a full week to complete the look - from drafting patterns, to cutting circles upon circles of satin and tulle for the skirting (and then running out midway through!), to hand-stitching sequins, beading

Fantasy for Dolls - Issue 12 Cowardly Lion
The fourth look in our "World of Oz Collection" features the Cowardly Lion! Let's take a look at how this adorable Lion ensemble was made and the inspiration used to create it! The Cowardly Lion is the final traveling companion Dorothy meets on her way to Oz and while the Lion seems frightening at first, it becomes clear that he simply believes himself to be a coward. While on their journey, the Lion eventually finds his courage and I think this doll-sized Lion is just as c

Fantasy for Dolls - Issue 10 Tin Man
The second look in our "World of Oz Collection" for Bbeauty's Fantasy for Dolls Collaboration is the ever iconic Tin Man! Going into creating this outfit, I knew I wanted the suit to look as close as it could to being made of tin while still being functional enough for the doll to move in. That being said, the biggest aspect of this ensemble was making sure to get the right base structure for the tin suit! I tested out a few different ways of how I could built the suit, fir

This week we'll be journeying down the yellow brick road back to the wonderful, whimsical, wizarding world of Oz with an artist showcase by AG_DollMagic.

Fantasy for Dolls - Issue 6 Red Riding Hood Finale
Meanwhile the wolf went straight to Grandmother's cottage and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" called grandmother. "It is Red Riding Hood," said the wolf in the sweetest voice he could manage. "Lift the latch and come in, my dear", said Grandmother. "I am too weak to get out of bed." The wolf lifted the latch, sprang through the door, and swallowed the poor old woman whole. Then he put on her gown and nightcap, climbed into her bed, and drew the curtains. When Red Ridin
