I can’t even express how much I missed this. Katherine was the first doll customizer I ever saw/followed and was sad (but also happy for her) when she announced her hiatus. Since she’s been getting into the groove of parenthood I’ve gotten into quite a few other doll artists and while I’ve also fallen in love with them I missed the OG doll artist (for me anyway)

See the problem is doll clothes and human clothes aren't easily transferable skills. The kinds of patterns and shapes you would use are different on a human body that moves and whose shape changes as they move than a doll who doesn't move often and even if they do the body doesn't shift and change. While she could make cute clothes for her child it would take her learning completely nrw skills

I like the hair sticking out at the back, personally. It feels like it balances the front norigae! Also, it reminds me of Yotsuba, so it adds a nice childish and sweet feeling element to it.

[@froppy_friends8761]

Yeah I like how the back looks !

[@nikaumi]

I agree! I also think it looks more fantasy like. Like the unnecessary pieces that sailor moon has but its PRETTY

[@gotchufam2964]

9:25 This part felt like such a Momlightful moment! 😆 I’m sure Dollightful won’t be aggressive like that with her kids someday but I think the frustration might feel the same! The first time I did my little cousin’s hair I was suddenly very confused and had a new appreciation for parents who take the time to put effort into their children’s hair, because it’s not always so easy and fast. ✨

[@sonjabergstromart2240]

A casual norigae girl series to slowly make of all your sketches and ideas into dolls would be a lovely addition to the channel. Something nice for you to do whenever you feel like making another one :)

[@alyzanyam5734]

I think the hair sticking out the back makes her look even more cute! I'm no where near well-versed in korean culture, but from a design standpoint she looks absolutely gorgeous, and your idea of layers of beautifully designed clothes really stood out. She doesn't look bulky, yet still has that volume in her design, which is astounding to me. You did amazing for a first doll after your break!

[@charliefielding2297]

I am always amazed that she can have so much colour and detail in her designs, yet it doesn't feel cluttered somehow, it's always balanced!

[@JK-wd6pe]

I'm Korean, and when this video popped up in my recommendations I absolutely had to click on it! This is such a beautiful interpretation of a 노리개! And since I was used to seeing them just as accessories, them being used on hair was unexpected in a great way. And the little 족두리 and 버선 were so adorable.The 한복 and the patterns on them were gorgeous, and the 연지 was such a nice touch. I could see all the dedication in every detail. I also thought the pins in the hair looked cool, since they kind of look like jade beads, and thus adds to the overall theme. (I was way to excited about this and got carried away lol, I think this is my longest ever comment on youtube) + I thought of some recommendations for the back of the hair... what about a sheer black cloth on the back, like the ones on the back of 탈 masks? But maybe it could look like a veil.. or you could bring the remaining hair together, tuck it in and add a patterned 댕기 or ribbon? Just my two cents! This video feels like the best 추석 present, I loved it to bits! Thank you for the awesome video!

[@anagoyette8040]

When doing fabric transfers a good way I avoid warping is as soon as I pull the iron up, I go over it with a marble square. Some people have gotten them at home improvement places (Counter top samples) but I use a marble coaster (from amazon). The coolness and weight of the marble helps correct the fabrics need to warp under the heat. It will come out nice and flat!

[@Dollightful]

Pro tip! Hmm, I'll have to find one.

[@electraheart7745]

Will a sealed granite slab work too?

[@anagoyette8040]

I’m sure it will. It’s the weight and cold that really seals it in.

[@ffrai3094]

I'm currently making a wool coat and when ironing the seams you're supposed to let it cool off under pressure. i just use a big book with a dumbbell or weight on top lol. maybe the same would work for transfer sheets

Reasons why I love watching you: You not only make beautiful things that you're excited about, but you also show that isn't all smooth sailing and glitter. Sometimes you have to mess around with things and try 57 different methods before something works how you want it to. And sometimes you must walk away because you've stared at something for so long and can't stand it anymore. You are so real about everything that happens in Doll customizing, and I love it! I would honestly love to see a series where you make a bunch of these norigae girls in different styles. As long as you can handle it with babylightful around lol

[@batbon3zZz]

I always admire how delicate you are with cultures that aren’t necessarily your own by blood- your enthusiasm is so refreshing, it’s very clear how much you love learning about them just from the way you speak ! As someone who is white and also interested in other cultures, I always find it hard to reach a balance between adoration and appropriation, you strike it beautifully each time :D Much love to you, your family, and to anyone reading this 🤍

[@joshienieto3584]

I thought culture appropriation was the exploitation of minor cultures. As in you adopt an element of a culture, claiming it's yours or use it in a disrespectful/stereotypical way. I know most ppl aren't like this, so if I see a white person or any other person that isn't part of my culture, dressed in native attire. I never get offended, I quite honestly think it's silly to be offended by something like that when ppl just want to know, not mock. Or find our attire pretty and want to try it out themselves.

[@drewisdreaming]

@@joshienieto3584 for sure, but i think it's more in the sense that a lot of people will do things like wear traditional attire that has a lot of meaning and history behind it without doing any research or having any knowledge of that purely because they think it's pretty or aesthetic. kind of like people getting tattoos of words in other languages to look "cool and exotic" without even knowing what the word translates to. the issue isn't necessarily with appreciating the beauty of other cultures, it's with appropriating it for yourself (ESPECIALLY if you profit off of it) without showing due diligence or respect to the many other aspects of such things other than aesthetic appearance. hopefully this made sense haha

[@joshienieto3584]

@@drewisdreaming I get your point, this doesn't change the fact that I think it's silly if ppl get offended when they see a person wearing the said attire that does not belong in their culture. Who knows, maybe the person did due their research and respect it, but other ppl are quick to say "culture appropriation!" Like most of the time it's damn clothes, get over it. You won't die, move on and stop being sensitive. Not saying you particularly are, I'm saying "you" as general public.

[@drewisdreaming]

@@joshienieto3584 no i totally get that, i do think that everyone is WAY too sensitive nowadays and tend to jump the gun so quickly on stuff instead of focusing on all the people causing ACTUAL issues in the world. but i also see the other side of it in that a lot of people are so used to dealing with people disrespecting their culture that they assume most situations are like that, and i can't fully blame them for reacting like that if they've gone through it a lot even though it causes them to unfairly be overly suspicious of people who are genuinely innocent or well-meaning. anyway, i agree with you and i agree with points on the other side too! i think everything is just heavily reliant on context so i look at the situation before forming any opinions. thank you for being civil and respectful in your response and i appreciate your perspective!! :)

[@joshienieto3584]

@@drewisdreaming it is very unfortunate that the ppl disrespecting other cultures get more attention. So I do see that side, also very glad that ppl aren't being jerks to Catherine about being married in traditional Korean attire. It was beautiful.

This is probably one of my favorite dolls you’ve created! She’s gorgeous, I’m so happy you’re back and congratulations to you and your husband!

[@NeoNovastar]

Way to come back with a bang!! She's so gorgeous! Honestly i would love more norigae girls sprinkled in with other dolls!! Those other designs are beautiful

[@chappieindahaus2509]

[@pastelmango1427]

[@cassoIa]

So many doll creators on here but I always find myself coming back to you! 💞 You’re my absolute favourite because you were the first channel I found!

[@spottytehwolfy101]

She's so intricate and gorgeous! Glad to see your work again!

[@lemonmint246]

Fun fact: After the end card, there is a short cat video on every dollightful customization. :)

[@midnightfoxy3026]

I enjoy those so much. It just reminds me mose doll customizers and artists have cats.

[@NeptuneSketches]

I absolutely love how you so enthusiastically say, “Bring her in!” Then yeet the doll on the table. Glad your back!

[@nanoreo7098]

[@ZebraWarriorPrincess]

So excited you're back!!! Congrats on your precious babylightful 🤩 This doll is so beautiful 💙❤💛

[@nordicunicorn1731]

I was honestly expecting a longer "break" so my heart skipped a beat when I saw the notification from KZbin. I've been watching you since like 2015 and it has been empty without your videos for a while but hey, I'm glad your back and I wish you all luck and fortune with your parenthood ❤️

[@thesystem1613]

11:50 as someone who went to schools for pattern drafting…yeah that’s how it goes 😂 Also this doll is absolutely stunning! I think she may be one of my favourites that you’ve made so far! I hope motherhood is treating you well!

[@nikitathevampireslayer]

I love your work! And I really love it when you show mistakes and different stages of your work because it really humanizes everything ❤️

[@somberpaw]

I am so thankful you’re making videos again! Welcome back 😇💖

[@icebear8985]

Hey Katherine! I’ve been around for a while and let me tell you, this is my new favorite doll! I think the details are so spot on and everything has such a nice balance. The silhouette is also very nice (I’m sorry, I’m a character designer.) I only wish you would’ve used Caterine Demew for the white skin, which would’ve really helped bring up the colors of the accessories and many traditional Korean dolls are also made out of porcelain. Have a nice day :)

[@kiwin7119]

An idea for the next doll in this series? :)

[@annasorensen350]

What a wonderful return!! She is absolutely lovely, I think this is the most beautiful face up you’ve done - the amount of care you took in details like sclera shading and thinning the eyelines absolutely shows in the refined finish! I love the outfit and the character, and her personality sure writes itself - ethereal beauty named Rice Cake? Sounds like a bubbly cutie to me! Glad you’re back ☺️

[@rabidbutterfli]

Beautiful! What a comeback. Thank you so much for these.

[@Oregonbabymmx]

This is by far my favorite doll you have done, and my daughter and I have watched you for years. The details you put in every aspect is spectacular

[@oliverbowers8367]

I love how you always incorperate aspects of different east asian tarditions into your dolls!! so inspiring :D

[@FirstNameLastName10101]

Welcome back! This doll is absolutely gorgeous and you should feel so proud of yourself. Especially when balancing being a new parent. The colour scheme is so well crafted and every artefact compliments each other. Thank you so much for creating this doll and for sharing the process.

[@hailleeshaffer7409]

I’m so happy you’re back! And that everything went well with the baby!!!❤

[@sebastianjudeignatiusbalen7447]

Welcome back! She looks amazing, you knocked it out of the park!
