Kaycee is wearing a sleeveless style but I have a full sleeve one, as well.
She feels great in one and it keeps her clean and protected from minor scrapes
or things that would scratch accidentally.
Also, get several pairs of white inspection gloves to wear when handling her when she is nude.
You will be surprised how easily the gloves get soiled just moving stuff around. That soiling would
be on your girl from your bare hands without them. When a pair get dirty, throw them in the wash and keep a spare pair or two.
They are really cheap to buy online by the pack.

They also look great! Dat bOOty!

Really though, I wonder where I can find one that will fit my soon-to-be-delivered 100 cm doll. She is small, but very curvy. Thanks!

Balancing Darcey isn't as hard as it may seem. Before you start she must have tight ankle joints and make sure her knee joints are locked straight.
Firstly, you have to make sure she is square on her heals. in other words no wobbles in her ankles to the left or right (Just like the real thing). Ankle boots or higher help prevent this. I sometimes have to gently kick her feet to the left or right while I hold her upright to get her heals central to her feet.

Secondly, Her feet need to be apart by at least 12 inches to help spread the balance.

Thirdly, I gently move/rock her back and forth until I feel a balance beginning to happen when I gently let go of her arms. You can hear/feel her ankle joints clicking as they move back and forth.

Lastly, I let go and watch for any movement. If she sways even a tiny amount I sway her back and forth again until she doesn't.

Very lastly, I stand by her for about ten seconds and if she hasn't moved I grab the camera and shoot.

Its not too hard to do and usually takes me about five mins (If she's being awkward) to get her to stand. Once shes standing she will hold the pose until I move her.

It also helps with modifying the her foot stance. Move her feet to a little more of a duck walk stance rather than straight out in front on her. now I am not talking about an exaggerated stance but if you look at your feet you will notice your feet are slightly turned out for balance and not just straight and parallel to your legs.

I found that this helps with making sure that he ankle does not fold when using heals on carpet at least.

For standing lay doll down flat and have legs and body flat and not bent at hips. Legs should be at smallish angle and not too wide or else heels will bend at her ankles either immediately or over time. This comes really from trial end error..
To help this, as Jeff mentioned, thigh boots or zipper boots at ankle high are good for support. Also the heavier dolls are difficult because it takes significant strength to get her in the standing A pose with heels. Once one ankle starts to bend, you have to start over, and I can only do this a few times before getting fatigued. They are very heavy when you need to save her ankle from damage by picking her up at her leg..

Try the smaller dolls because she has shorter legs and may be easier to position.

It really must be done on solid floors and carpet may be a challenge with stilettos.

Go easy at first with platform heels and zippered boots!

So have read that a body stocking is recommended. I guess I can google it, but what's a body stocking?

This is a body stocking...

I ran across this link while researching crocking (staining caused by dye bleeding onto another fabric, skin, or furniture):
