From Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00a0ball-jointed doll\u00a0is any\u00a0doll\u00a0that is articulated with\u00a0ball and socket joints. In contemporary usage when referring to modern dolls, and particularly when using the acronyms\u00a0BJD\u00a0or\u00a0ABJD, it usually refers to modern Asian ball-jointed dolls.\u00a0These are\u00a0cast\u00a0in\u00a0polyurethane\u00a0synthetic resin, a hard, dense plastic, and the parts strung together with a thick elastic. They are predominantly produced in\u00a0Japan,\u00a0South Korea\u00a0and\u00a0China. The BJD style has been described as both realistic and influenced by\u00a0anime.\u00a0They commonly range in size from about 60 centimetres (24\u00a0in) for the larger dolls, 40\u00a0cm (16\u00a0in) for the mini dolls, and all the way down to 10\u00a0cm (4\u00a0in) or so for the tiniest of the tiny BJDs. BJDs are primarily intended for adult collectors and customizers. They are made to be easy to customise, by painting, changing the eyes and wigs… and of course clothing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For several years in the early 2000s I made clothes for ball jointed dolls and sold them to collectors via my website Lilliputia’s Loft and ebay. \u00a0Here’s a flavour of what I created, click through for more!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
