We’ve provided a measurement guide to help our commissioners send us proper measurements, and everything else that may be needing depending on the commission! You can send measurements in inches or centimeters, we have measuring tapes for both! Please use a measuring tape for all of your measurements, do not use a ruler.
These lovely measuring doodles were provided by Quirachen, please check out her page for more lovely content!
Here is what we need for each project:
- Heads: Just the head measurements.
- Paws: Trace of your hand with measurements
- Tail: None
- Feetpaws: Pair of comfortable shoes, we recommend slip-on house slippers. Please write your username on the side or bottom!
- Bodysuit: Duct Tape Dummy
- Armsleeves: Arm measurements.
Please only include these measurements if you ordered armsleeves as well! It is best if you have someone help you to get the measurements as accurate as possible.
Also do not pull the measuring tape too tight as the armsleeves will be tight as well! (We leave some extra wiggle room.)
- Measure the length of your arm from the top of your shoulder all the way to your wrist line.
- Measure the length of your arm from your armpit all the way to the wrist line.
- Measure the top arm circumference.
- Measure the lower arm circumference.
- Measure the wrist circumference.
- Note all of these down and send them our way!
Toony heads need all the measurements, resin-based heads only need the green and orange!
1. Circumference of the widest part of your head. If you have a bit of weight this could be your cheeks.
2. Length of your nose bridge.
3. Between the eyes.
3. Chin to hairline.
4. Chin to top of the head.
Please note that these measurements should be straight, and not go with the curve of your forehead or nose.
Step 2:
Make sure you have your back, arms and legs STRAIGHT. Do not bend your arms, have them hanging down when taping or flex them. Also do not bend over and stand as you normally would, as whatever stance you are keeping for the dummy, will be the form of the dummy! Do the arms last as they will get tired over time!
After the crotch spread out down to the legs. Move on to Step 4.
Ready to mail everything?
We generally recommend to re-use boxes like from Amazon or other shipping boxes, they’re cheaper than using the ones from the post office. If you taped the dummy properly you can fold it as much as you want without breaking it. Add in the hand trace, shoes and an extra sheet of paper for the arm measurements.
If you can add your username somewhere on the box that would help a lot more!
For those asking, yes you can add candy or any other surprises! As long as they’re appropriate. ^_^ Just remember if you are international there are certain things you can’t ship such as milk products (including chocolate). We’ll make sure to tweet about it since we absolutely love random surprises!
You can mail your box to:
