However, it goes without saying that she's worth every penny.

Brent isn't a doll (as was so fervently pointed out) but a mannequin ... the things I've purchased for him will of course fit his "doll" version as well ... but I suppose I've spent at least $100 on clothing and costume jewelry. The great thing is, the clothes I wore 20 years ago fit him now! And resale shops like Salvation Army, ARC, etc., and bargain stores like Ross, and Burlington Coat Factory, are great for clothing. He doesn't care if they're "irregular" or slightly imperfect. Dollar stores are great for costume jewelry (serpentine bracelets, necklaces) and they won't tarnish on him! I even like buying shirts for him that I know are too small, they either fit really tight, look like he's outgrowing them, or can just be displayed open. Oh, and my shoes fit him!
I can imagine for the doll I'll end up spending more, but will still hunt those bargains.
I think we should be a bit creative when buying stuff for our lady's that will save us a lot money.
E.g. using E-bay, garage sales and so on.
Would like if I know a very rich woman with the same sizes as Helen .
OTOH I have heard that buying clothing for a RD is very difficult. It has to fit!
When using normal post order shops you can sent it back if it doesn't fit.
OTOH post order shops don't sell always the quality I want.
So maybe I'll get some expensive, e.g. newest Truimph lingery for my lady .
Haven't experience yet, will come as soon as I've saved enough money to let Helen come home
But I think this hobby, if you accumulate the amounts will soon costs US$ 500 - 1000 for clothing!

(Fortunately she can wear some of the wifes outfits.) There may be an average amount spent on "doll" clothes, but what you will spend depends on your needs. Hell dolls and mannequins don't need the clothes, we do.
So if you can afford more, and you really like seeing your "doll" dressed they way you like, you'll spend more.
In the last several years I have purchased in excess of $5,000,00 worth of vintage lingerie (bras, girdles, slips, stockings) for the wife to pose for photos in. That's not counting lots of high heels, boots and glossy pantyhose, costumes like Hooters, Lil Red Riding Hood, Nuns, nurse unitforms, corsets latex outfits etc. Why? Because I like that stuff and seeing her wearing it is a hell of a turn on.
Perhaps we feed some of our fetishes through dressing our "dols"?
Do take advantage of Ebay and such, but you should know the items real value so you don't over pay. I have found lots of cool clothes at used stores and Goodwill. Goodwill has 50% off sales on some Saturdays. I have bought satin blouses, mini skirts and the like for a little as $1.50.
