clothes materials colours what is good what is bad
 

ok , i know (have heard and seen ) the problems with non colour fast materials
is there other stuff i need to know? (ill bet there is )is there materials im not going to think will cause harm to tpe or silicon doll

for example if ive got a cotton bandana thats been thru the wash loads ,its not likely to run is it?

i ask cause i dont know , and dont want to fall in a hole



(when she gets here, erika ,kimberdoll 2nd sept
cue im so excited song :whistle:)

I've not had any problems with old well washed clothes on my Kimberdoll. I've put a nylon body stocking on her, so if the cheap lingerie I've bought from eBay does stain it should protect her. Hopefully.

Afterthought: I reckon if you put any clothing in warm water and it turns the colour of the clothes that's a good test that it will stain. I'll be doing that with the black set I just bought. Enjoy ��

Its pretty easy that one. More expensive good quality clothes give you a much better chance of not staining.

Cheap shitty stuff from cheap Chinese sites.....almost guaranteed. Even after multiple washes they still stain.

I buy a lot os stuff that is used good quality and never really have a problem. With dark jeans always put a pair of leggings under the jeans Makes jeans easy to get on and jeans cant stain if they cant touch the skin.

Anywhere you have pressure on the skin is a risk. My girls are in jeans a lot and sometimes will go a good couple of weeks with no leggings and no problems.

Check out your second hand clothes shops or Facebook Market place for cheap clothes.

I did a post ages ago about a sizing guide for your Kinberdoll. Ill have a dig around on here for you. Makes it easy to buy clothes with the right sizes than waste your money trying to get it right.

many thanx to all who contribute
 

thanks for replies , this is what i thought some good sht in second hand shops ,
as long as its clean and fresh ..:rolleyes:

i just have this vision of "erika " roaming around in a white cotton blouse , all paranoid about other colours :24

i may have read that before i clicked buy !:b

When I had TPE dolls I always dressed them in light coloured clothing for that very reason, tights for darker pants or a body stocking are excellent ideas.


It is the oils in TPE which draw out the dye. As has been said, good quality well-washed second-hand clothing will be much less of a problem and a white blouse will be no problem at all:tu

Try eBay: Search "clothes bundle age 12" or "clothes bundle age 13". they will fit Ms Kimber nicely and will likely have been washed time and time again.

Don't just worry about colours though, she won't help you put them on and button up fronts/backs are a godsend!

this place is great

Oh dear, glad you posted I mighta put this £5 set on look at the colour run :eek:.

Side note, if you are going to sit her on the bed or sofa, stick her / a light fleecy blanket under her bottom. You will get Arse prints if not. Even on walls if you stand her leant against the wall.
