Help Us Make TRULY Plus Size Dolls
(Our last unfinished prototype next to her friend Curvy Barbie)
We are Curvy Girls Dolls (CGD), a company with the goal to make playtime fun for people of all sizes. It designs, markets, and specializes in plus size dolls with unique personalities, fun fashion, and inspiring character. CGD aims to create dolls children play with that are as diverse as the people in their lives. With their dolls, CGD normalizes people of all sizes and promote body positivity.
First, we want to thank our Patrons for keeping us afloat. 100% of the funds raised has gone towards creating these dolls. Because we are requiring a high level of articulation and their thighs and tummies have been especially hard to engineer, we are paying a professional but we can only afford a few hours a month.
Unlike Kickstarter, our goal is lower and GoFundMe allows us to receive every donation instantly, and every donation adds up so we can reach milestones and make our dolls!
So what will the $10,000 be used for?
$1k MILESTONE: We need a 3d printer to test our designs. Our only other course of action is to design and have a prototype made ($3k a pop) and hope that it works. The last time we outsourced our prototypes it was not made to our specifications, so we're taking it into our own hands now.
$2k MILESTONE: Print materials [which requires an enclosure, misc. tools (scraper, nozzles, sandpaper, etc.)] and filament
$6k MILESTONE: Pay our artists! Right now we can only afford a percentage of our funds to our team, we'd love to pay them a higher amount for more of their time.
$10k GOAL: Materials to finish the prototypes. Once we've done everything we can with 3D printing, we'll need to hire a faceup artist, make our prototypes hair, get clothes made and postage for all of that + materials.
Thank you in advance for helping us make Curvy Girls Dolls a reality!
