The Doll Forum

Where do you get good looking clothes for such a petite doll?

My first doll was ~152 cm (was supposed to be 165cm) doll and finding clothes for that small of a stature proved to be quite a treasure hunt. My future DS-145 is even more petite so it's going to be even bigger hassle to find clothes that look adult.

I scoured pretty much everywhere I could possibly find via Google. Asos, GAP, Nordstrom, all the other prominent web clothing stores. Everything seemed overly long. Some Asian stores like Light In The Box does have a pretty nice XS selection, but the quality of those clothes is abysmal. They come unraveled and won't stop bleeding colors, no matter how many times you handwash them.

I've seen many great photos here of DS dolls and they've had fitting clothes that look good. Not childish at all either. So I'm curious as to where you guys are finding those.

I bought most of my clothes at Swap.com. You can use their search filters to find women's size xxs/00, xs/0, and Juniors size 00, 0 (in children's). Their stock is always rotating, so if you don't find anything today, check back again in a few days.

I got most of my clothes at places like Walmart, Burlington and Victoria's Secret.
Women's size xs for panties
Women's small for clothes or Juniors medium.
Girls size 13 for shoes, or women's size 1 or 2.
You can find xs panties at both Walmart and Victoria's Secret. Xs garter belt at Victoria's Secret.
Women's knee high stockings work pretty well. Most go up to the thighs on a 145. I get those in a 4 pack at Dollar General in nude or black. I get white knee highs at Walmart.
Hope that helps.....

Goodwill and salvation army are good spots to find stuff as well.....

I always recommend this option as well. The clothes have been washed a hundred times already, so less chance of staining. Plus they are incredibly inexpensive. And you can occasionally find some pretty unique items.

I have a ton of clothes that will fit her for sale at the moment. Let me know what you may need. Salvation army and goodwill are great places to buy

We have a local eBay-like site that people sell used clothes and stuff. I bought most of my clothes for the first doll there. The selection for XS/XXS size is very limited though. Some kids/youth clothes do work though. I'd rather order these online than go fetch them from a public space.

Thanks! I've seen how you dress your DS dolls so I know you have a good taste in clothing. Looking forward seeing what you have for sale.

@samara78

I also have a DS145 on the way! I was going to PM you to see what you have, I think my account is too new to do so...

Can you post them in here? If not, what US sizes do you use?

Thanks in advance!

I've been using Amazon.co They have a wide selection and it ships to you in a couple of days. If you get from China about 4-5 weeks
