Custom caliber refers to the precise control over height and girth, among other dimensions, to achieve a tailored aesthetic and feel. Height determines line, posture, and how the doll fits into real-world spaces, while girth influences silhouette, support needs, and pose versatility. When specifying girth, consider bust, waist, and hip measurements in proportion to height to achieve a natural silhouette. Balance is key; overly exaggerated proportions can compromise realism and maneuverability.
Practical considerations accompany these choices. Heavier girth with height affects weight distribution and the required structural reinforcement to prevent tipping. It also influences the ease of cleaning and maintenance, as larger surfaces may collect dust or require more frequent care. Material density interacts with size; silicone and TPE have different performance profiles that become more evident as dimensions increase.
Communication with the maker is essential. Provide clear range preferences rather than fixed numbers to allow for slight manufacturing variances. Visual references help, as do a thorough spec sheet detailing the exact measurements for height, neck length, shoulder width, arm lengths, and leg proportions. With careful planning, custom caliber yields a highly personalized doll that aligns with spatial constraints and personal preferences.
