Clothing Comparisons for Obitsu / Azone / AP vs. DDS

This topic contains writeups for outfits I own that fit well [or not] on DDS and Obitsu-based bodies (Obitsu, Azone, AP). I buy clothes mostly from dealers, Volks and Azone.

 

Disclaimer: While I've done the best I can to ensure the accuracy of my posts, I make no guarantees about what clothes will fit. Please check with the vendor before you buy!

Do DD/DDS clothes fit? (on Obitsu GGR, AZO2 and Angel Philia)

I've been down this rabbit hole, and the answer is: mostly no, but some stuff can work.

While these bodies are curvy and have larger busts, that's only part of the whole picture.

Compared to these, a DDS has...

• A much longer torso. 
• Girthy arms, broader shoulders, broader neck. This is overlooked.
• Longer legs.

Some of the smaller clothes may work, but there's so much more surface area in a DDS that the clothes just don't work all that great on smaller dolls, no matter how curvy they are.

 

What clothes fit on Azone 45cm?

Your best bet is MDD and DDP clothing. The fit will be similar to MDD (M) rather than MDD (S), so watch out on tight fitting garments made specifically for the S bust.

Tops will run shorter and can sometimes barely cover the waist.

Obitsu 48/50 clothes can sometimes work, but the sleeves will be too long, and bottoms can also look a little too big.

 

What tops fit on 48-50cm dolls?

 

1) Tops on Small/Medium Busts (Obitsu S/M, AZO2 C, Angel Philia H2/H/C1/I)

On normal sized busts, you have many options. Azone tops fit the best.

• Short Sleeves - Many MDD tops will fit, but the hem may be short
• Long Sleeves - Tops designed for Obitsu & Azone will fit the best. Long-sleeved MDD/DDP tops will be too short in the sleeves and may run short in the torso.

Besides Azone, LittleWonder carries tops made specifically for Obitsu.

(Difference in sleeve length between MDD and Obitsu tops)

 

2) Tops on Large Busts (Obitsu L, AZO2 G/I, Angel Philia G)

Your options are limited since these sizes are too big for most MDD-sized clothing and not sized properly for SD & DD-sized clothing. Most clothing that fits well will be from Azone's AZO2 line.

Baggy MDD clothing can sometimes work. LittleWonder also makes clothing for this size.

Some DD clothing may fit acceptably if it's sized for SS/S, but tops will run long and feel oversized. 

 

What bottoms fit on 48-50cm dolls?

 

1) Bottoms on Obitsu 48/50

Most MSD/MDD skirts fit but will run short. Azone skirts will fit the best.

LittleWonder makes a line of compatible skirts specifically for Obitsu in varying lengths (mini, mid, long).

Some MDD shorts fit, but I've found that getting them past the legs is a challenge. Nine9 and TTYA make shorts, but between the two, I've had better luck getting the Nine9 ones up and less luck with the TTYA denim ones.

 

2) Bottoms on Angel Philia-C

Angel Philia C has moderately slim hips but thicker legs. They'll fit into most MSD/MDD skirts, but they'll sit higher and run even shorter than on O48-50.

No shorts will fit on AP-C. MDD shorts won't pass through the legs unless they're designed for Mochiashi, but DD shorts will be oversized. If your girl wants to wear shorts, avoid this size.

 

3) Bottoms on AZO2 / Angel Philia H or I

Shorts

The Azone denim shorts, while simple, are cheap, easy to find and fit well due to their elasticity.

TTYA or Nine9 make nice pairs, but they can run tight on Angel Philia. They fit fine on AZO2.

Skirts

AZO2 skirts fit the best. They slip up the legs and are just the right waist size.

DD and SD skirts will be too big and feel out of scale. SD ones are even worse in that they'll sit low on the hips.

I don't recommend MDD skirts. Getting them past the legs is tough. They'll be micro-mini length unless that's what you're after.

 

 

What shoes fit on Obitsu 45-50cm?

Just get Volks MDD shoes.

Obitsu feet are advertised as 6cm in size vs 5cm for MDD and 5.5cm for DDP. However, I find that Azone-made shoes run small, despite being made for Obitsu feet.

Every pair of Volks MDD shoes I've gotten fits well, especially those that are advertised as fitting both DDP & Mochiashi feet. Non-Volks Shoes made for MDD are hit and miss. 

(I check the fit on Azone, Volks and other shoes in a dedicated post)

Bust: 17.5cm
Arm Length: 13.5cm <-- (This is MUCH shorter than the Obitsu, so watch out when buying long sleeve shirts that fit a DDP)
Thigh Circumference: ???

DDP vs MDD comparison photo 
- Arm length up to the wrist is about the same
- Upper torso length is the same. Lower torso is longer.
- DDP is most similar to Azone 45 but with longer legs and a differently proportioned torso.
- Foot size comparison

2024 update

Maya's Summer Uniform from 'Is the order a rabbit?'

Mai came with the summer uniform that Chino/Maya/Megu often wear in Gochiusa. It's designed for the Azone 45 body.

It already fit that body snugly around the torso, so it was a tight fit on a larger body.

 

On DDS

Doesn't fit.

 

On 48-50cm

The skirt's short, but it otherwise closely resembles the uniform as it appears in the anime.

The back won't snap unless it's an Obitsu S bust or equivalent.

 

 

On 45cm

(This is what she looks like on the original body)

Azone AZO2 Duffle Coat ($35)

A duffle coat is perfect for cold days like today! 

The coat closely resembles a real duffle coat in design and material feel. No hooks or button snaps here. The outer shell is made of a felt-like material, while the inside is lined like a jacket for reduced friction when dressing. 

 

On DDS

Doesn't fit. The shoulders are too wide.

 

On 48-50cm

The coat's rated as best fitting for Obitsu-L and AZO2-C/G, but it's tight, so I recommend wearing just a tanktop or tee underneath and nothing more.

 

On 45cm

The sleeves are too long, but this can be cute in its own way.

Azone 50cm Camisole Dress & Cardigan set ($35)

This set is frequently in stock in a mint color on Hobby Search / 1999.

 

On DDS

I no longer own this outfit to test this combo, but the dress alone might fit on a DDS if dressed from the head.

 

On 48-50cm

The dress runs down to just above the knees. The dress is easier to slip on from the head (especially on AZO2/AP), but it may be possible to approach from the legs (on vanilla Obitsu) with careful squeezing.

The cardigan runs small, and the buttons are fiddly.

The dress coordinates well with a short-sleeved top.

 

On 45cm

Looks fine but runs longer.

I no longer own this outfit, so I can't update this post.

Azone 45cm Knit Sweater Dress ($50)

Azone released a knit sweater dress that's designed for 45cm girls but is listed as "small" for AZO2. It's on the pricier side for a single Azone piece but is made exactly like a real sweater.

The collar is meant to be rolled down, and I recommend pulling it off the shoulders for a cuter look.

The sweater is sheer. If you put anything colorful underneath, it will show.

 

On DDS

Doesn't fit.

 

On 48-50cm

This sweater looks terrific on Angel Philia bodies, but it's too short to be a standalone dress. The sweater hugs the body closely and emphasizes the AP's curves.

 

On 45cm

It's a cute, oversized look on a 45cm body.

Azone AZO2 Usamimi Hoodie ($30)

This is the latest in Azone's line of pastel-colored bunny hoodies. It comes in three colors - pink, ice blue and black.

The hoodie zips down all the way to the skirt, making it possible to put it on from the legs vs. the head. 

 

On DDS

It technically fits but is cutting it close on length.

 

On 48-50cm

The hoodie fits fine and isn't difficult to dress from the legs.

Angel Philia fits a little odd with this outfit.

But on Obitsu or AZO2, it looks a lot better.

 

On 45cm

Although this piece is marketed as for AZO2, it fits the 45cm body best of all. Long sleeves are really cute.

Edited September 3 by chef_mai

Volks does make these: https://dollfie.ec.volks.co.jp/category/D_FASHION/4518992434773.html 

They would be longer on an AZ02, and the AZ02 has smaller feet, but calf and thigh seem similar to DDS. 

I ordered these socks alongside the Rena uniform among other things last week. Hopefully this fits.

https://dollfie.ec.volks.co.jp/item/4518992433103.html

I'm still having trouble finding normal socks that are thigh-length on 48cm. Everything I've gotten so far is either just past the knee (what she's wearing) or ends up being high enough to be tights. Even the official AZO2 socks ended up being too long (??).

I sorta faked it in the sweater pic by rolling down the long pair which was made for DD.

Check Coolcats sock collection. To my recollection they have white socks that should go up to maybe mid to upper thigh on a 48 cm. It’s an estimate because I don’t have one, but to my recollection they are just mid thigh on a DDS. It really depends on how much shorter the legs on a 48cm are. Azone 50 cm has legs that are the same length as DDS.

The model for those is a Mochi Ashi, and as far as I know they wear MDD socks. The caveat being that “Ashi” in addition to meaning “foot”, has a connotation of sturdy plump legs attached to the foot.

 

The AZO2 48cm legs are 2cm shorter in the shins and the same thigh length as the 50cm.

Mai's socks are actually the DD-sized coolcat ones. She's wearing the "knee socks" that end up just past the knee on her (on DD, they fall right below). The slightly rolled socks in the pic with the sweater are "thigh high" DD socks.

They didn't have the (white) DD over-knee socks or any longer MDD socks in stock unfortunately.

Darn, they made decent socks. 

Nine9Style makes MSD sized knee socks in a variety of styles. MSD is an equivalent to MDD, but not exactly the same. You should be able to find body measurements for MSD on DenOfAngels. 

http://nine9style.com/category/inner-acc/581/

They have MSD panty hose too. Not a lot of makers for actual hose, it’s usually just garters/stockings or socks. 

Volks Sailor Uniform - Mini ($59)

This top only fits on MDD and DDP.

 

On 48-50cm (just the skirt)

The skirt slips on with no difficulty if you don't mind the shorter length. The material is satiny, and the pleats are more defined than on others.

 

On 45cm

Even here, the sleeves run a little short, and the blouse itself runs a bit short too (since the MDD torso is shorter / waist is higher up).

They likely will be fine. I got these for my Ellie as well:

And while her thighs are thicker (because Angel Philia), her legs are Obitsu 48 length.

For those, I'd reckon the MDD variant might be a better fit: https://dollfie.ec.volks.co.jp/item/4518992430096.html

But then you'll get the issue again, that they will reach only barely above the knee...

Ellie is a 48cm AP? She looks MDD-like from that angle!

I ordered that same striped hoodie Volks set for my 45cm girl, so I'm glad it may also fit well on Mai and not run too short.

The modern Angel Philia all use the Obitsu 48 skeleton and some standard shell parts like arms and feet.

The hoodie she's wearing in the photo above is the DD sized one, though...   It's oversized look makes for a great comfy pyjama.

But the MDD/DDP version is probably not a bad fit for your girls either - the fabric is pretty stretchy.

Azone AZO2 Simple Tee ($16)

If you want a nice-fitting shirt that hugs the body, this fits well if you can overlook the shoddy build quality.

The tee is a cheaply built for a first-party effort -- it's pilled over time and one of the snaps has come loose after a month of use. 

 

On DDS

No good. The shoulders are too wide, and the arms are too tight. It feels like a shirt she outgrew.

TTYA shirts have a similar fit but are perfect for DDS.

 

On 48-50cm

Fits well.

 

On 45cm

It fits, but it doesn't look quite right since it's proportioned for older girls.

Volks Rena Ryugu Uniform Set ($89)

Volks doesn't offer a standard summer-style uniform, so I opted for Rena's uniform instead. It comes with a blouse, tie, skirt, socks and loafers. The tie hooks in using snaps, while the collar snaps in entirely using buttons. 

Mai wanted to try on the Rena uniform right away.

 

The Shoes

The loafers are bigger than the Azone ones despite being for smaller feet. They're also way better quality, as is the rest of the uniform.

Mai had no trouble slipping them on, even with thicker socks on. 

(2023 update - After 2 years of heavy use, the shoes are starting to peel a little. I still love them and wouldn't hesitate to get then again since nothing fits or looks better than these.)

 

The Outfit

The blouse is made from a high quality twill-like material similar to what I'd find on a nicer dress shirt and is much nicer than the satin that's used on the winter uniform and well above the quality of anything Azone makes.

The Volks site only mentions this uniform fitting on MDD, but it'll also fit on a DDP.

 

On 45cm

The outfits fits well on my 45cm Azone. The top's a bit tight in the shoulders, but it snaps just fine.

 

On 48-50cm (small busts) and DDP

The blouse is a little short, but it's a great look all around. I think it looks better than it does on the 45cm.

 

On 48-50cm (medium/large busts)

It looks good from the front once dressed, but I couldn't get the middle buttons to snap on a medium-sized bust. 

You can hide the issues with a cardigan.

 

The skirt doesn't fit on AZO2 or AP unless dressed from above.

Volks Striped Parka Set - Mini ($49)

This popular set includes a zip-up striped hoodie, lacy yellow camisole and ruffled shorts.

I initially had trouble figuring out the zipper, but with BeyondTime's advice, I discovered that the trick is to push the zipper in until you hear a click before attempting to zip up.

 

On DDS

The hoodie is the only part that will sorta fit.

 

On 48-50cm

The hoodie fits fine, but the sleeves are too short. Rolling them up or having the hands in the pockets conceals this quirk.

The yellow camisole fits small/medium busts fine.

The ruffled shorts don't fit on AZO2/AP and only with much wrangling on vanilla Obitsu.

 

 

On 45cm

Ruffled shorts are still a bit tight (since the elastic isn't that stretchy), but it otherwise fits well.

Just got this hoodie set in, and I'm surprisingly having trouble zipping it back up... it just is stuck at the bottom. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

I find it can be really hard to get the little tab that inserts into the zipper all the way down on those tiny outfits. Most likely it’s not in far enough, and that’s why it won’t zip.

Thanks! That did the trick. It's a little different from a human-sized zip hoodie where you just need to slot it in. For this one, there seems to be an explicit "click" beyond the position of just sliding it in. That's then the cue to zip up.

Volks V-Neck Tee - Mini ($11)

I ordered the MDD v-neck t-shirt for Mochi, but Mai snatched it up instead. Although it doesn't look this way in the photo, the tee is off-white in color, almost cream-like. 

It runs longer than the Azone tee. The wider neck can be pulled towards the shoulders for a cuter look.

 

On DDS

Doesn't fit.

 

On 48-50cm

Looks great especially on a slimmer body. It looks better if I don't button up the last snap.

 

Not a fan of how it looks on AP. This is tailored for slimmer girls.

 

On 45cm

Fits well.

Not sure if these are the right length for you, but I just changed Alice (OB48) into another outfit with the 45 Lace Ribbon Knee Socks and they’re about 2cm over the knee.

The 45 Knee Socks look to be about the same if you don’t like the lace ribbons.

Thanks! I overlooked the 45's knee socks as an option. I might put in another order for this shop, which tierparkzone mentioned before. I got Mai's glasses here and wish I grabbed the socks while I was at it.

They're reputed to be heavily stain resistant even in dark colors, which I can't say the same for the Azone pair I was using. Kept it on for a night, and the next morning, the feet (???) were stained. Luckily, it was just that and nothing else, but if you wonder why Mai only wears light socks when dark ones would make more sense, that's the reason!

They do have a conversion chart for which sizes to get for an Obitsu50, but that might be a bit out of date.

For everything up to over-knee socks, the equivalent DDP version should be a good fit. DDP thigh-highs might be a bit too tight on an Azo2 (DDP have fairly slender legs), so I recommend getting a pair of DDS over-knees instead (see Ellie in the picture).

Edited March 15, 2022 by Tierparkzone

I've been eyeing this Volks outfit for a while now and was reminded of it when I was reading manga and saw a character wearing the same thing.

I'm pretty sure the Volks one won't fit on Mai since the suspenders portion will probably be too long, but does a different maker maybe make something similar?
