Hunched shoulders tend to look a little more natural in photos sometimes.
Alas, though, I love my MNF Lishe to pieces, and I wouldn't be able to bring myself to sell her. _xD So... eh... welp.
Maybe you can find someone who wants to do a body swap. That would drive my nuts.

It does drive me nutters! Dx When any of me dolls are like that... In this case, though, I really like the string tension for this body, which has been enough reason for me to want to keep it. xD And along with that, it's been a couple of years, now, so I'd worry that there would be a slight resin mis-match by this point, too. I deal, I deal. If I really needed her to sit up, I could figure out what to do. But lawd, I wish I'd known that it was an A body I should have ordered for at the time. @__@;

Totally understand the A and B line body issues. My BW ShuShu elf has the old Beauty body and my other MNF girl (currently a Lishe head) has the NS Active line. While the B line body is beautiful, I'd lovelovelove to find a "beauty green" Active line body for her.
Oh, and I think I managed to keep myself from another regret - I decided to not sell my PKF Mio!

'Aaaay, a dollieh saved! xD Congrats on keeping your PKF Mio! Sometimes selling a Dollieh is a decision that is worth sleeping on first...
Actually, now I remember another dollieh-buy regret. The body I have for SD Vincent right now is an Infiniti Doll SID body, which is spiffy and cool, but the hands... THE FRIGGIN' HANDS... they're so large and grabby and just... Dx Eeeeeeh. Not a fan of them. So I figured I'd order some hands from Dollzone! Because I love Dollzone's sculpts, they are amazing. I was fretting over whether I'd ordered the right size and then tried to pick out the right resin match. I ordered Normal Pink, thinking that when I looked at SD Vinnie, eeeeh yeah, he looks a little pink-ish. But when the hands finally got here, yo, they were not kidding. These hands are PINK....... It was then that I discovered that Vincent's Normal Skin resin complexion is yellow-based... The More You Know...

I had a big one just happen- all of the wigs I ordered but one are absolute flops. My favorite wig maker? Her wigs are gorgeous, and super well made. Problem is....she makes wigs that show the ears. I had forgotten this. So the wig I ordered for Chi from her doesn't cover his ears at all. I could sand them off, but he's a yellow skin doll and sanding really shows. Do not want at the side of his face.
Well, ok, I ordered a wig from another place for him when I thought hers was going to take two weeks to ship. This one covers his ears nicely, super thrilled. But it also is made to come down on his forehead when the ears aren't holding it up. Whoops. Learned something new there, elastic wigs over the ears will want to come down over the forehead depending on how they are made.
So, same company, I ordered Miles a new wig. He's so friggin' tiny, but hey, they have his size! Well, no, the wig that was in his size range is ridiculously small and doesn't fit at all. Double-fail.
Last but not least, the only wig that actually worked, the wig for my little girl Tuebo. Her wig not only works, but is super perfect for my little mop-top of a toddler. That is not a fail or a regret, that is a squee.
But the other wigs? About $45 worth of wigs, my big splurge for my dollieh crew? Yeah, those were fails of the most epic proportions and I am kicking myself for each of them.
