Are there items of clothing that can damage my doll?

Dark clothing which is dyed with low quality dyes can stain the siliconee if the doll is stored with these items on for long periods of time (10 days or more). As a precaution, wash all dark and vibrant colored clothes before putting them on your doll.

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 siliconee 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 siliconee. Shirts that button, tie, snap or zip closed are easier to put on dolls than tops such as T-shirts or pullovers.
