Monster High Gooliope Jellington - What fits?

Gooliope Jellington - she's HUGE so what fits?
It's a great question right? I have many many dolls to test the clothes from.
As I've said before, she's as large as Mina (1/4th BJD) with her shoes on. (Mina is a full 18in tall, Gooliope is 17in)

Barbie clothes:
YES, Some.
Some dresses, tops, and skirts. NO on the pants - because, obviously.

Delilah Noir:
SORT OF
The skirt needs to be taken in, the sleeves are a bit long. Socks are great :D
Overall, not too bad, but not a great fit. Some work and it'll be perfect!

Franklin Mint Guinevere:
Again, SORT OF
The sleeves are a great fit, it's a dress so that's in it's favor! The belt even sits on her fat hips, a PLUS!! But again it's her top... She has a small bosom and most of these other dolls of mine don't.
It needs to be pinned, so a little work and it fits. If she's just sitting around, it works great.
Front of the Guinevere Dress, not too shabby
But it needs pinned!!
Gene Marshall:
Another SORT OF - (see torso comments above!)
The shorts fit GREAT! And I mean great! NO ISSUE. Perfect size to close. Gene is a 15 1/2in doll, so I'm thinking the pants would end up being highwaters, but the shorts - A+
The dress - also a half fit. The top needs to be pinned. Like I said, if she is just sitting on a shelf, the pin isn't a problem. If you're playing with her...
I do have a few patterns for Gene so I think I can work with it pretty easy.
I made the socks for Mina, of course they fit great!!
She looks awesome!
Needs a pin on top
Mina, my BJD:
Not a chance.
The fit was so laughable, I couldn't even get a photo. Mina is a big girl, but I did get a good idea how to resize the bodices I make to have them fit Gooliope! Won't be too hard I think.


Ellowyne Wilde:
SORT OF...ish
Now I know El has close to the same portions as Mina, but there is some slight variation.
I know she'd have the same problems with Ellowyne tops as she does with all the others.
Now the pants... These pants were made specifically for Ellowyne, (I know, I made them! - Also pants are EASY to make. Like easy easy easy. First thing I ever made, pants.)
Ellowyne has a stockier body than Gooliope, but the length is perfect!
I pinned the pants about 2 inches. Yea, it's a lot, but I can make these for Gooliope no problemo now!
Nice to know I barely have to alter the pattern :D

Oh the agony of de feet! Part 2 of 6 (Barbie Sized)

So onward we plunge into the terrible world of do they fit? and non fitting doll shoes! As I stated before there are 6 categories and here I am onto part 2, Barbie Size. This is a pretty broad category including(but not limited to) Barbie, My Scene barbie( I used them as different since I have so damn many), LIV dolls, Lisa Frank dolls, Monster High, and Bleeding Edge. I might have added a few others if I was so inclined to clamber about in my garage looking for the couple of elusive other dolls out there somewhere. But it's cold, and I'm lazy!

So Barbie is being represented by a wedding Midge doll (not that there aren't a 100 other candidates, but she was closest, and she's from the 80's so this is an earlier body type than Nolee)
I won't run out of shoes!
Barbie shoes are *EVERYWHERE*

My Scene is being represented by Roller Skate Nolee(I've got boatloads of My Scene that would work too, but again - see the comment about going into the garage, she's right next to Midge and therefore easiest to get to)
Yea, yea, under these massive
boots still lurk Barbie feet!

LIV is being represented by Daniela (I have 3 LIV dolls, and two of them are Daniela!) BTW, she's wearing a Moxie Teen dress(the shoes WILL NOT fit these feet)
My feet are flat bitches!
Lisa Frank dolls being represented by Mara(the only one I have)
I seem normal, right?

Bleeding Edge represented by Divinity(she's from series 3 and is currently the only one I own)
You won't believe how small my feet look!
Monster High is being represented by Frankie Stein(I have several, but again another bout of lazy kicks in as her shoes were pretty easy to get off)
My feet are friken HUGE!

So on to the feet and their issues:
I have it laid out like last time, each girls shoes on and one shoe off pose.

Midge: Shoes and one foot out
 

Nolee: Shoes and one foot out
 

Daniela: Shoes and one foot out
 

Mara: Shoes and one foot out(so far the closest to barbie feet, not being a barbie)
 

Divinity: Shoes and one foot out(her shoes look huge, but her feet are pretty small)
 

Frankie: Shoes and one foot out(P.S. her feet are so damn big I didn't bother putting anyone of the others shoes on her - THEY DON'T FIT - just look at the size of those damn things!!!
 


Put your feet up!
Divinity, Nolee, Midge, Daniela, Mara, Frankie

When the shoe is on the other foot:
We'll start off this way, with Draculaura- please don't get your panties in a bunch, I didn't put the other shoes on her - but I've got a nice commentary on Moxie Teenz shoes. They fit MH dolls. I bought an MT outfit on clearance hoping it would fit another doll... turns out it doesn't really fit anyone, I have Daniela wearing it but the velcro is as tight as I can make it... it at least stays up, but the shoes.. oh they fit Draculaura great!!
Moxie Teenz shoes on Draculaura!

Midge:
Mara Shoe - fits
Daniela Shoe - a little large, but usable
Divinity Shoe - a little tight
Nolee Shoe - perfect
Frankie shoe - fits

Nolee: (comes off with the same exact results as Midge, big surprise, lol)
Frankie shoe

Midge Shoe

Daniela Shoe

Mara Shoe

Divinity Shoe

Daniela: Did I mention I have FLAT FEET?
Mara Shoe - not even

Nolee - Almost? Nah

Midge - this is ridiculous! 

Divintiy shoe - and I thought the others were bad!!!

Frankie shoe - Surprise!! I can't believe it fit

Mara:
Daniela shoe - fits, a little loose, but workable

Midge shoe - won't fit, Mara's foot is just a bit off

Divinity shoe - foot appears too big

Nolee's shoe - fits, maybe just because it's a boot.. but some
My Scene shoes seem roomier than normal Barbie shoes.

Frankie - surprise! Shoe fits yet another foot

Divinity:(the small footed)
Mara's shoe - a little loose, but workable

Nolee's boot - a little loose but workable
( I think you're gonna hear this phrase 3 more times)

Daniela's shoe - a bit loose

Midge's shoe - a little loose but workable

Frankie's shoe - quite loose. Hooray for Divinity the small footed
She can fit a bunch of shoes!

Conclusion? Well that is Barbie has it EASY, most shoes will fit or at least work with her. Also barbie shoes are quite abundant. Also Monster High shoes have an amazing versatility(or at least a few of the shoes) - they seem to work on many smaller footed dolls. Also Divinity seems to have no trouble getting those shoes on here feet, but some do fall off! Me thinks someone's gonna have to start sharing shoes with others.
Why do I have to share???
