Re: 145cm clothing sizes ??
Her shoe size is roughly a US Girls size 1. What I do to get a good fit is to buy a pair of cheap flip flops, like at Payless Shoes, that are about the size I think will work. Because you can see where the toes and heel are in relation to the edge of the sole, it makes it easy to adjust up or down a size if necessary when buying additional shoes. Remember that what works best on a human doesn't exactly apply for the doll. In other words, you might like the shoes to be slightly looser, so they're easier to put on, as long as they still look good. I use a shoe horn to try to prevent scuffing of the silicone, as well as always having a sock or stocking on as well.
One important note about shoes and the DS145cm doll, you may want to avoid standing poses in high heels. Another Forum member had to repair some damage to the bottom of his doll's foot because the skeleton has a foot plate that is somewhat sharp on the end, so standing the doll with the toes pointed can put a lot of pressure on the silicone.

Re: 145cm clothing sizes ??
I was thinking that too in the beginning, but now I do it all the time. Since so many dolls are a smaller size, girls clothes and shoes are often the only choice. I find that friendliness and confidence at the check out counter works wonders. No one has ever given me a strange look. I get the impression they assume I'm a single dad or something.luv2ridemx wrote:Theres no way in hell i'm walking in to a store and buying young girls panties and shirts. probably be a little weird at the check out counter LOL

That must be new from when I ordered my DS dolls. I wonder if you'll have to deal with US Customs or whether it will go to DS Dolls US and then be sent to you.luv2ridemx wrote:Been dealing with DS Dolls US. and John has been helpful and very nice. every email and question has been answered and so far its been great.

Re: 145cm clothing sizes ??
You're welcome. The DS145cm is about bust 29" waist 20" and hips 28". A regular woman's size 0 (extra small or XS) is bust 33.5" waist 26" and hips 35". There are petite woman's sizes as well, but the smallest is woman's petite size 0P (extra small petite, or XSP) which is bust 33" waist 25.5" and hips 34".luv2ridemx wrote:Thanks again for your help. So in your opinion, you think woman's size small or extra small with still be too large my her ??
If the clothes are very stretchy an XS can work, like stockings or bodystockings. Or lingerie that is "one size fits all" (OS) can fit either because it's very stretchy or because it has straps or ties that can be adjusted a lot. Another possibility is to have a tailor or seamstress modify XS clothes to fit. There was a woman on the Forum recently offering those services.

I ordered a pair of shorts for Kayla from China through aliexpress, and had to order size Large for her according to the sizes mentioned... she always wears Small in European sizes.
The shorts arrived two days ago, and they just barely fit her. They look great though

I've actually gone through this with my 130cm Aimee. The first time was a little weird, but I quickly got comfortable when I saw another man shopping alone in the little girl's section. I picked out panties, socks, shirts, stockings, everything else. Each subsequent trip to the store was even easier and feel comfortable picking out stuff for my Miyako.dragonfly8878 wrote:luv2ridemx wrote:Theres no way in hell i'm walking in to a store and buying young girls panties and shirts. probably be a little weird at the check out counter LOL
Other shoppers don't even mind you, they are too busy shopping. Those who do see you in the little girls shopping aisles picking out clothes will probably just think you are buying your daughter some clothes. Nothing weird about that.
Finally, the cashiers/clerks don't even say anything about it either. As long as you yourself aren't doing something that can be judged as weird behavior, there is nothing weird about it.

Re: 145cm clothing sizes ??
I can understand it though, I too felt a little weird first time looking through the costume jewelry rack at the drugstore.
It's like buying toys for yourself, I've never had a problem buying a Transformer in a store, as I know I'm not going to play with it as a kid, but buy it for my collection. My brother on the other hand would always ask the clerk to pack it as a present for fear of them thinking he was going to play with it.
When I bought some jewelry for Kayla in a store, a sales girl once commented like "I'll seal the package, so if she doesn't like it, she can exchange it", and it put a smile on my face, if she only knew...
