They used to have it posted on the website but I don't know where it went now so I'll just list them here:

Eye Sizes for Secrist Dolls:
12" Lil Giggles... 12mm
12" Lil Guppy... 14mm
17" Lollipop & Missy... 18mm
19" Honey, Ming, & Starling... 20mm
22" Hayden & Raspberry... 20mm
22" Corey, Phoebe, Sunflower, Petunia, Tika, & Pinky... 22mm (Corey can also take a 20mm eye)
22" Bink, Stevie, Tina, & Tulip... 24mm

Also, when in doubt about what eye size your kit takes, most of them list the eye size on the back of the neck. And the Newborn colors do not come in 24mm.

Sorry TEA, not all one size doll take all one size eyes (as you can see above).

Where is Lupe? I've looked for the sculpt but can't find it. Am I just missing it?

Cathy · Veteran Member

Loves, I was looking at Lupe last night in my Secrist Tutorial catalogue, but have never seen this sculpt for sale anyplace either. confused

i think lupe is an AV doll. i saw her on the AV website..

Buffington · Guru

OOPS! My bad! I meant Tika not Lupe. They must have given me the wrong name.
And yes, Lupe is an AV face. You can order the AV doll kits in translucent vinyl blanks with no paint, or eyelashes and reborn them just as you do the Secrist, did you know that?

That is where I first saw him/her!

Edit: I went to AV and the Lupe there doesn't look like the Lupe in the catalogue! Anyone?

oops sorry bout that Buffington i actualy got that of a site that sells secrist ive always followed it :(

Buffington · Guru

thats ok TEA. But maybe you can let them know that they have a few errors? :}

sara zata · Guru

In porcelain doll making they have an eye sizer, it measure the width of the eye and because Secrists have them already molded, it would be a help to those how didn,t know much about sizes, then you know the exact size you need, assuming you have a few different lots of of eyes. weirdface

Buffington · Guru

Yes, thanks June.
You take an eye sizing tool or a ruler that measures in mm (milimeters). Measure from the inside corner of the eye to the outside corner of the eye. This measurement in mm is the aproximate size of the eye you would need for your doll.

Pat B -

I'm just a newbie here, but I was wondering why you couldn't use something like a digital caliper to measure the eye width? Seems to me this would be the easiest way, something like this:
