"I pre-ordered her tonight, she won't be here for a few weeks but i'm so excited!"
How I did it: I've waited 6 weeks for payday and it finally came, so I was able to afford a Blythe! I just pre-ordered her on ebay. She's released in March so it won't be too long to wait. She has a space on my shelves already planned, she's going to be friends with my Lapin and Kumano Gollo.
Lessons & tips: I think the most important thing to do before you buy a Blythe is to research! I've spent ages reading up about Blythe, and comparing many pictures of many different dolls. I've looked through a lot of customs on Flickr and,after chopping and changing a few times on which one I was going to get, I've pre-ordered a Prima Dolly Adorable Aubrey, based on the fact that she was the cheapest 12" Blythe on ebay at the time (only £55! I was so happy with that), and she's an RBL with fair skin - both of these things were what I wanted. I've got a nice long black wig on the way for her (I wanted a doll with black hair, but the existing Blythes with black hair were so expensive, eventually I hope to rit dye her, but until i have the confidence, a wig will have do!) I've also got her some nice boots and a dress from Etsy. Hopefully it will all look lovely on her when she arrives.
You should definitely take your time to decide exactly how you want her to look, and its so much fun to buy or make new clothes and hair for her so that you know she's one of a kind.
