I will introduce you Amadeus, my Guard of the rosen garden. Her custo is still ongoing…Need to sew some clothes for her and found some perfect shoes.
I’m think its all I can tell for now about her. —tigrou-v
Mod Note: what a charmer!! Thank you so much for submitting Amadeus, I added the link it tigrou-v's deviantart so everyone can see their lovely collection. :D
Hello, I was wondering if DollZone's DZ B18-001 feet will fit on Ada. I'm thinking about getting her ballet feet, but am worried they might be too big for her ankles.
I can't find an ankle measurement anywhere, but I can tell visually that this will not work, the ankle joint and foot itself are much bigger than Ada's. B18-001 is a muuuuuch taller, thicker body and needs larger feet to match this. You can hot glue Ada's feet into one position for the look you want--just put a dab on the joint as if to hotglue suede and then let the foot adhere. If you want to undo your work, put her in the freezer for a bit to break the hotglue bond to avoid harming her delicate little ankles. Or you can make her little ballet slippers and tie her feet in place with ribbons. Hope that helps!
So I just bought a second hand Ada head, and I wanted to buy her a human body, do you know what size doll she is (baby, mini, etc) because I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Ada is a non-standard BJD size and you’re not going to find a match easily. Check out below for her measurements. Her neck is 2.5cm around, which is smaller than almost every other doll on the market. If you can’t find a secondhand Ada body with the human hip part, then you may be able to fit her on the DZ B18-001 or DZ B18-002 (with wings). Their necks are slightly big at 2.7cm so a little bit of light modding may need to happen, or it could work perfectly from the start. I also cannot attest to how it will look, proportionally, because I don’t have either of those bodies. But it should work with a little effort. Best of luck!
Oh hey, I can help with this! I own a few of the DZ B18 bodies and a DC Ada, so I was able to do a super quick headswap to show the fit/proportions/etc.
THE GOOD: The proportions and aesthetics are fantastic! I honestly like it a bit better than her default body, especially if you prefer a more mature look. Resin matching should also be easy since DZ and DC are sister companies, though DZ’s pink and yellow tend to be a little inconsistent and depending on how old the head is it might have yellowed/mellowed a bit.
THE LESS GOOD:
The neck is too big, and so Ada’s head kinda just flops around on top of the neck and can’t really hold a pose. Also, the s-hook that comes with the B18 bodies is too big to even go through Ada’s neck opening, so you’ll have to get or make a really tiny s-hook; I had to use the one from my Ada’s body and then proceeded to lose one of the elastic loops down her body *ANGRY PTERODACTYL SCREECH*.
But with a bit of work I think it’d make an excellent hybrid! I’d say sanding Ada’s neck opening wider is a better idea than sanding the neck on the body, because the resin around the B18 body’s neck is already very thin and you don’t want to risk cracks or breaking. Even if you’ve never modded before this should actually be very easy, and sanding off 0.2cm shouldn’t take long at all! You should have it done in just a couple of hours if you’re doing it by hand with a craft knife and sandpaper, or just a few minutes if you have access to a rotary tool/Dremel. (Obviously all the warning for doll mods follow: respiratory mask and eye protection are mandatory, keep sanding work away from pets and other people, etc.)
Another thing I’ve experienced with all the B18 bodies is that they are very kicky right out of the box, so sueding is a must, and maybe restringing and wiring as well. I actually got the headswap girl to stand, though! Quite easily, in fact, I think the horns act as balancing weights. :o And once you get rid of the kickiness they are wonderfully flexible at posing.
Hope this helps!
Woohoo, thank you!

When stringing Adas, do the longer set of legs go in the front or the back?
I *believe* the longer ones go in the front. You will know quite soon if you have the wrong legs in the wrong holes, because the legs will want to go sideways instead of standing straight up and down. I’m at work right now or I would double-check for you right now.
Hey comeunstrung, can you measure Abi’s legs and confirm for us in a reblog, please?
My Ada, Lovelace. A.K.A Lacey. She is snarky, annoying and would be too big for her tiny britches, if she had any. I love her anyway.
Oh, and she likes to dance:

Hello there! I just got an Ada for christmas named Freya, and I love her a lot! But this is my first resin bjd, so I was wondering how I could take care of her best? She's secondhand and strung a little tight, so she doesn't hold poses very well. But I'm too nervous to re-string her ^.^;
Hello and welcome to the joys of owning a tiny moose! The basics for taking care of her are to minimise exposure to direct sunlight, and to handle her with either clean hands or clean white cotton gloves. If she gets a little dirty, you can give her a wipe with a soft damp cloth. For intensive cleaning, you'll probably want to take her apart. Which is indeed kinda daunting. But if you're ever feeling brave, I'll write out some tips here for you.
Eventually, you're going to want to restring her with slightly thicker elastic which allows her to pose a little better. There isn't a whole lot of information on how she's strung out there, so it took me forever to figure it out. Here's a chart of how it goes:
Pay attention to which legs are front and back because the back legs will not work well in the front hips!
In her legs I've also put lengths of 20 gauge jewellery wire so she's able to hold her poses better. You may want to cover or bend over the ends of the wire so you don't scratch her resin; I did put a gouge you can't see in one of her legs because I was careless. If you happen to lose one of her tiny s-hooks (like me...) that hold her feet to the elastic, regular staples work just fine.

Eye comparison! Thank you Eldritchdarling for the idea. As you can see, it’s pretty enlightening. On the left eye in both photos are the 11mm oval eyes which are her usual ones Abigail is wearing these days. For the first, you can’t quite see the gaps in the eye from this angle. I like the iris size of the 8mm and if I had flat back eyes in this size I probably would have stuck with them. The second is very interesting too! These are D.Eye.Ys from Pupa Paradise and they’re very round with almost no domes. They don’t fit quite as well as one would hope as they gap along the bottom pretty bad. If they were oval eyes or soft glass/silicone it would be a better fit. I’ll go ahead and update the measurements info to reflect this! -Z
Hello! I've been considering getting my Ada new eyes, and I saw that you recommended 10-12mm eyes, but I was pretty sure that DC's default Ada eyes are 8mm. Do you know of any Adas with 10/12mm eyes, or have pictures of how they look? (Also, Pukipuki shoes would be too wide for Adas, right?)
Her default eyes are 8mm and they are terrible! They are way too small for her eyewells, which measure 10mm. My Ada, Abigail, has 11mm oval eyes in. I’ll take some photos later and post some comparisons. ^_^
And all shoes will be too wide for Ada without socks on, but I do believe most Pukipuki (make sure you’re not grabbing Pukifee) shoes should fit with socks—though you may have to layer or find extra thick ones. I hope that helps!
Hello! I have a tiny moose myself and I was wondering what eye size does Ada have? I am trying to replace her eyes but I cannot find the size ^^;
Hello there, snuggiemcnuggies! Ada has 10mm eye wells, but if you want a larger iris, we recommend going up to 12mm. Flat-back eyes will work best for you since there’s not much room in that teensy head for eye-stalks; they bump against the s-hook and get knocked out of alignment really easily.
If you need any other measurements, make sure you check out our comprehensive Measurements page!

My tiny now two legged moose .o.
Restringing her was a pain… and I restrung her to tight and I just found a scratch on one of her legs. I feel like crying…. I don’t know how she got it. It’s either from restringing her or when I took pictures of her a few minutes again… I just.. wanna sob ;-;
Though she looks really cute and sort of put together… besides being face-up-less. Even if it’s just a crappy cell picture.
This happened to Abigail one of the times i restrung her. It's okay, just breathe and try not to feel bad.
I was able to buff it out (mine wasn't very deep) with the very fine sides of an emory board. Not the cheap nail file kinds that are really rough--these are soft and on sponge, and will often have many different grits on one tool.
Make sure you protect your face with a dust mask and safety goggles (check the Dollar Tree) so you don't breath in resin dust or get any in your eyes. Go slowly and in small circles. Check your work often under good light. If you feel uncomfortable moving past a certain point, then stop sanding. Wipe the leg off with a damp cloth. It's possible that there will always be a mark there, but you can probably hide it under socks or just consider it a character feature.

This is my first bjd, a tiny Doll Chateau Ada. She’s such a cute little moose. I’m so happy to finally have a doll and such a cute one at that! The seller was wonderful to work with and even gave me three wigs! So it might be a while before she has clothes or a face-up but at least she won’t be bald.
Congrats on your cutie! DC Ada was the first doll I bought myself :D A great little moose they are!
It’s still unreal looking at her! I can’t believe she’s mine. I though she’d be a good first doll, being that I’m probably moving out and going off to college soon and won’t take up that much space to take with me! The only problem I really have is finding clothes that will fit her (I am planning to giver her the human torso to). Have any tips?
I have no idea what kinds of pants will fit, but Chelsea doll dresses work really well! Especially the ones that came with seasonal Chelseas this past Easter! I learned that one from zaflikescreepydolls.
askatinymoose is a good blog to follow if you’re not already! They have a reference page of all of Ada’s measurements so you can check if other kinds of outfits might fit if you stumble across them :D
Ada’s are a great, compact size =w=
A new Tiny Moose! Chelsea dresses do indeed work nicely, and there are some Halloween editions at Target right now. Get two to nab mix-match shoes. You'll need to sew some tiny socks to keep them on, but they work really nicely. lyssalynette, I can make and upload a pattern or tutorial if you feel that would be helpful? -Z
Daily Photo 234: Shrug
Abi has stolen Catrine DeMew's sweater and handbag and isn't giving them back without a fight.
More from my Photo A Day project
Some Monster High clothes fit better than others, and this little shrug is absolutely perfect for Tiny Mooses like me. The bag is also really sweet, the perfect size to cart around Moose Things, and goes great with my purple dress!
Hello and welcome to Ask a Tiny Moose, where all your moose-needs will maybe not be fulfilled, but hopefully you'll have fun.
Our first offering is something Zaf gets asked a LOT: what are Abigail's measurements? We now have a whole page full of measurements and a handy image (above) for your reference. We will add more to it as requests come in.
