If every little girl's dream is to build a beautiful dollhouse for her own beloved dolls, right down to each perfect detail -- from a wooden wardrobe filled with gorgeous handmade dresses to lace tablecloths, tiny plants and even miniature fans -- then Chi Wanjun of Shanghai, who created hers as an adult, stands as a reminder that it's never too late to make it happen.

Chi, who has loved drawing and design since childhood, owns an online shop selling womenswear she created. Initially, she intended to make doll clothes to relieve some of the pressure of designing for her shop, but then she took the idea of dressing up dolls even farther than expected.

Now Chi has 30 dolls, including some that cost her 10,000 yuan ($1,452.91) each. She treats the dolls like friends and buys them little wedding dresses, houses and cars, even taking them out with her.

For her online shop, Chi has shifted her focus from women's clothing to dresses for dolls. Though some people still doubt her lifestyle, Chi said she thinks one's interest is more important than making money.
