Clothing changes a doll’s appearance and protects the surface from dust and light friction. Choosing the right size is less straightforward than dressing a person: the body does not move with you and some dyes can leave permanent marks.
Which size fits?
Use the bust, waist and hip measurements on the product page, not height alone. Many models fit women’s XS or S, although a full bust or wide hips may require a larger size. Stretch garments with a zip, buttons or a wide neckline are easiest. Avoid narrow sleeves and non-stretch trousers: pulling hard strains fingers, wrists and seams.
Prevent colour transfer
New dark and brightly coloured fabrics can release dye, especially onto light TPE. Wash new clothing separately until the rinse water remains clear, then test the dry fabric on a hidden area for several hours. For long wear, choose white, beige, light grey or pastel. A skin-coloured, colourfast body stocking adds protection beneath dark outfits.
Dress the doll safely
Lay the doll on a soft surface and support each joint as you move it. Never pull fingers or toes. Remove sharp jewellery, hooks and protruding zip parts. A thin plastic bag temporarily placed over a hand or foot helps a tight sleeve or trouser leg slide over it; remove the bag immediately afterwards.
Shoes and accessories
Flat, roomy shoes are safest. High heels are suitable only when the doll is designed for them and properly supported. Check belts, chains and elastic regularly because prolonged pressure can leave indentations. Do not leave wig clips, earrings or hard accessories pressing against the skin during storage.
Our advice
Start with a light-coloured stretch outfit with generous openings. Check the skin after the first hour and again after one day. If there is no transfer or pressure mark, gradually extend the wearing time. Store all clothing clean, dry and separate from the doll.
