I would be interested in URLs, where to buy clothes online. Aside from Amazon, Ebay and Ali.
Thanks in advance

I like swap.com a lot. They sell high end used stuff at rock bottom prices.

That was compiled by one of the earlier posters in this thread (nooneknows), and I found it tremendously helpful getting started.

A few notes from my newbie self:

Definitely take your own set of measurements, and try to avoid buying too much before you do.
Lean towards items that either open all the way or that have a lot of stretch in the fabric. Getting items over the head and arms or up over the hips without one or both of those can be challenging at best.
This pictorial can be very helpful for getting shirts/tops on and off.
Pull-over bras without front or back fasteners are the devil. Do not recommend.
If you can, always compare the measurements you took yourself with the size guide for whatever you're ordering/buying. Dolls often have unusual measurements, and sizes for feminine clothing are all over the place.
Embrace the wonder of sister sizes for bras, especially if you have a doll with a band size under 30. The guide that BCD linked above explains them.
Try to stay within some kind of budget if you can. So many exciting things your doll can wear.

Most clothes need to be small or extra small, most mediums are way too big. I have a 165 cm and always order small and size 5 adult shoes.

Go online and buy a couple clearance clothes and see how they fit. Once you find the size you are good. Dolls are not shaped right. You got big ass's,big tits,long skinny legs,unrealistic waist to neck,etc...

If you are bold and don't care...go to goodwill and find stuff for a dollar. Cost ya $20 or so to find a good size.

If you get dark colors, wash the hell out of them in hot water. Use multiple long cycles multiple times. Even after that, it still has potential to stain but not as fast as they would without washing.

What I’ll also do is by a white version of the same shirt or something white that is similar to the size and shape of the dark shirt. I have my doll wear the white under the dark. I also do the same for pants. Right now my doll has white yoga pants under the jeans.

I do white panty hose under all her dark bottoms and try to keep the tan or white for her bras and tops.

Do any of you use slopers or tech packs to customize outfits for a better fit? If so, where do you get the patterns made to fit your doll?

If your unsure take Zhen’s advice… soak and wash your dark stuff in Woolite multiple times until ink stops coming out…

Pressure is your enemy!

I buy most of my lady’s clothes at Macy’s (heavily discounted clearance or ‘Last Act,’ prices in line with Shein or Temu, except it’s quality clothing, not junk). She’s 162cm, and mediums, sizes 4 and 6 work well. Better a tad too big than too small, and even tho smalls can be the right fit, getting them over her head/neck can be problematic. So I give her a little more room with mediums, or very stretchy smalls/one sizes.

I’ve had zero staining problems with their name brand clothing, deep reds, purples, and even blacks. I’ll often leave her dressed in the same outfit for a week, and again, no stains. Satin, polyester, velvet, no issues. She’s TPE, and maybe I’ve just been lucky. I do keep her in ‘nude’ pantyhose to protect her legs, and occasionally a white/cream bodysuit if she’s going to wear dark-colored or black tops or dresses. But even when foregoing the bodysuit, still no staining.

I generally size up with shoes, devil of a time getting her to fit in what should be the correct listed size, and don’t want to damage her feet by forcing the issue.

Sunglasses to protect her eyes when she’s not in action, and a hat can make a nice finishing touch.

I ripped an earlobe with a pierced earring when she turned her head on the pillow, so it’s strictly clip-ons now for that, and I don’t leave her in them.
