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 4 of 6 (Fashion doll)

Well this is the closest to dollie hell you'll get. There are so many companies making 16" fashion dolls and then I include the BJD into this category... Who's shoes fit who? Good luck with that!!!!!!

Here are the girls in the running:

Ellowyne Wilde(I have A Case of the Blues) Mind you my El came nude and that means I have no real Ellowyne shoes to give comparison. Though I can try others on her!

Delilah Noir(Once Bitten, Twice Shy) - I also remind you, Delilah has two sets of feet, Flat and Heeled

Gene Marshall(basic Gene)

MSD(a ball-jointed doll, I am using my Angel of Dream Lan, also named Wilhelmina Delacroix as the model. Juste(Angel Region) is the same size MSD...maybe an inch shorter than Mina, but same foot size)
BTW, I also made the wig Mina is wearing.. I'm sure I'll get to that in another post someday.

And the feet that don't work...or do they?:
This is such a mess mind you!
Ellowyne: She has no shoes of her own









Delilah: Flat then heeled
 
 


Gene: Wearing stockings so a little hard to see - I wish I had one of Mom's other Tonner dolls to compare with.
 

Mina: By far the biggest feet of the bunch
 

So who fits what? The rundown:
Quite a difference!
Mina, Delilah flat, Delilah heeled, Ellowyne, Gene

Ellowyne: I must mention, El seems to have 1 wonky foot!
Delilah's Vampire shoe - fits pretty well
 You can see the boot "fits" but she can't really stand in them, she must have her doll stand to wear these -
her foot is permanently heeled and the boots are for flat foot.
 

Now onto the wonky foot! El is here wearing Gene's shoes. The first pic might give the impression the shoe fits but because her leg is up it's coming off... but it's not so much the case! The one foot actually has no trouble wearing the shoe... the other foot... It just doesn't work. BTW, Mom has confirmed the same issue with her Ellowyne
 



Delilah: 2 feet!! Pop on, pop off... I didn't bother trying both feet with Gene's shoes, flat feet obviously won't work.
With Gene's shoes.. lol DO NOT fit
Good lord Mina has huge feet!
Gene:
Delilah's Vampire shoes, a bit loose but would work as long
as she stays on her doll stand

Delilah's flat foot boots - Waaaaaaaay too loose

Mina: Feet so big I laugh at the other shoes
Delilah's boot -- almost?? Mina's toes were touching the front!

Gene.... not even close lol!!!

Delilah and Ellowyne are quite close. I feel confident they can easily wear the other's items.. At least El has no issue wearing Delilahs stuff, wonky foot and all.
Delilah,El, Delilah

I told you so! Delilah's clothes are mine!!!

Size Comparison Part Deux!

Happy Birthmas to me!! Mom got me Delilah Noir! <3 Awesome awesome!

So I got Once Bitten, Twice Shy Delilah:
So here are the two views of Delilah (never mind the cat or Ellowyne's arm in the background)
 

She seriously looks like 2 different dolls!!!!
Now as far as the size comparison - I was sizing her next to Ellowyne and Gene. P.S. Ellowyne looks AMAZING in Delilah's clothes!!! Honestly I think it's impossible to take a bad pic of El.

So Delilah and Gene: (Gene yellowed and I have no idea what to do!!)
 
Delilah is much wider than Gene - she has some crazy hips!!
 

Then there's Delilah and Ellowyne: (Seriously much closer in body size)

 El and Delilah - then reversed the clothing! So cute!

 El fits Delilah's clothes great!
 ::Proving El never takes a bad picture!::


Yes I know the cat thinks he needs in every picture!

El, Delilah, and Gene
