Sometimes frustrating situations work out for the best. I love happy accidents.
In this case, I ordered a new, higher quality pair of eyes for Felline, my Dollzone Big Dipper. Dollzone states that 10 mm glass eyes come with the doll, so I ordered 10 mm, number 14, Sweety, Enchanted Doll Eyes. But when the new eyes arrived, the irises were much smaller than the irises of the default eyes that came with the doll. I had never ordered 10 mm eyes before, and I had never ordered from Enchanted Doll Eyes. I didn't know if their eyes run small or if Dollzone's claim that Big Dipper comes with 10 mm eyes was a mistake and the default eyes were actually 12 mm. Thankfully someone in the community advised me. She said to take the default eyes out of Felline and compare the outside size of the eyes. If the outside size is the same for each pair, she said, they are both 10 mm eyes and it's the size of the irises that's different because urethane irises (made by companies like Enchanted Doll Eyes) tend to be smaller than glass ones (who knew?). But if the outside size of the eyes is different, then Dollzone's information is incorrect, and the default eyes are actually 12 mm. As you can see in the pictures, clearly the default glass eyes are 12 mm, and Dollzone's information is incorrect. The good news is that I like the 10 mm eyes much better. And I never would have known that if it wasn't for their mistake. I've got to fix one eyelash, but I think these eyes might stay for now. To me, they make Felline's face looked more balanced proportionally, and because of that and the higher quality of the eyes, she looks much more lifelike.
