Dark clothing which is dyed with low-quality dyes can stain the doll’s skin if the doll is stored with these items on for long periods of time, and even as little as only moments after putting it on the doll. As a precaution, wash all dark and vibrant colored clothes before putting them on your doll. You can also purchase and put on some protective underclothing, such as nude/flesh tone crotch-less, nylon body stockings (they come in sleeveless and long sleeves), as well as mesh tanks, and t-shirts and long-sleeved shirts in the nude/flesh tone colors. You may also use light-colored underclothing that can be easily concealed under dark clothing as well.
We recommend washing and rinsing dark-colored clothing repeatedly until the water runs clear (i.e. no dye can be seen in the running water).
Very tight or binding straps left on your doll over an extended period of time can form dents in her flesh, much the way it does on a real person; unlike a real person’s flesh, however, the silicone or TPE can lose shape memory. In other words, it’s fine to dress your doll in corsets or underwire bras, etc., but don’t store her in these types of clothing for extended periods of time.
We also recommend avoiding thick clothing such as denim jeans or boned items like corsets if you are leaving the doll dressed. If you wish to put jeans on your doll we recommend putting pantyhose on it first so that the denim will slide over the skin. Shirts that button, tie, snap, or zip closed are easier to put on dolls than tops such as T-shirts or pullovers.
