Overwhelming! Need Help!
Overwhelming! Need Help!
Since then I have looked at a lot of threads on these forums and lusted over a lot of the dolls members have shared pictures of.
A lot of what I have read about cleaning, oiling and powering, smell of the WM dolls and clothing staining downright scares me. Also trying to find clothing seems to be a nightmare.
Some Questions:
If anyone has a 166CM C-Cup and can share some clothing sizes that would be great. Also does anyone have anything good or bad to say about oodji clothing brand? I found them on Amazon and the seem to be a size 0 petite clothing brand. Can anyone recommend some brands accessible to the US?
The 166CM C-Cup has a 8.25 foot, that should be a 4.5 US shoe size. Should you go for a 4.5 or maybe a 5? Is it hard to get the shoes on the feet without damaging them?
Can any kind of clothing stain the doll? Even stuff like stockings/pantyhose or nylon in general?
I saw in another thread that the 32C would be best for bra size for this doll. Can you use any kind of bra or does certain kinds work/fit better?
I am sorry if this stuff is covered in other threads but like I said this is all overwhelming to me, so maybe someone can provide some insight.

You'll find lots of different opinions on powdering, washing, and oiling on here. Personally, in three years I've never oiled any of my dolls and nothing has happened as a result. I also don't keep a "do this once a month, do that every two months" regimen on any of them. When they need washed, I wash them. When they need powder, I powder them. I don't keep a schedule on the refrigerator of when to do what, and you won't either. Also, be well aware that if you do decide to jump on the oiling bandwagon, it definitely will remove any and all make up from your doll wherever you oil. Not just her face, but the coloring on her labia and nipples. My Ji Eun and Sakura are over six months old and they both still have their nipple color. Labia coloring... forget it. The lube you use will take that off every time. Kissing will also remove the lip color over time, but just get yourself some lip gloss in whatever color you want and it takes a couple of minutes to do over.
The main takeaway here is... stop worrying. This isn't going to be some huge chore, you're going to enjoy it. Even when you have to wash or powder her, you're going to enjoy it. The main thing to be careful of is this. Don't lean or rest her on or against any hard surface where her TPE skin can be pinched against her metal skeleton. Like don't put her on her knees on a hard floor or surface and don't rest her on her elbows on anything hard either. This is where most damage comes from, and it is where all of the damage to my first doll came from. I learned not to do it, and neither of my other two girls have had any problems as a result. So if you start off with that knowledge, you're ahead of the game.

Also, I've found that the instructional videos over at Mon Amour Toujours' website are very helpful to newer doll enthusiasts:

Have a watch, and take a few notes. Even better, add it to your favorites list.
Enjoy!

Re: Overwhelming! Need Help!
Firstly like others here have said don't worry, I was thinking exactly the same a year or so ago when I started out.
You have definitely chosen well, a WM166c and #162 is a favorite combination of mine and among other dolls I have one.
Like Arthur I live in England so my sizing maybe slightly out, I buy clothes is the smallest size I can get size 4 or XS is a good start. I even have got my hands on XXS, Cheap is not always good and Ebay I have had issues with the clothes sometimes, where I can't get the colour to fix. In England we have a shop called Primark they sell cheap clothes and I shop there a lot and yes I buy dark colours, then wash and wash them a lot.(the link below is how i have my 166c dressed). The other thing I do and this is all about me I have 22 dolls so I need clothes to fit as many as I can the words one size fits all and stretchy I use a lot, and throw in the odd safety pin for things I like that are too big, but that is how I work. For shoes and boots my girls mainly wear boots the low ones with zips up the side here we have DM's they seem to help the doll stand, I buy size 2 (UK), other brands are now available with zips up the sides and I have found them good too. My girls wear socks even over stockings and push out of sight back down the boot, I mostly buy white stockings and some wear them all the time but that is only because I am lazy, I have that many dolls now it is just so much easier

Here is the stuff I got if anyone cares. Thought I would try the oodji brand out and see if it would bleed color or not. I like the look of this brand and they make small petite sizes.
oodji pink skirt size 0
https://www.amazon.com/oodji-Ultra-Wome ... way&sr=8-9
oodji white lace shirt size 0
https://www.amazon.com/oodji-Womens-Sle ... rnull&th=1
White knee high socks
https://www.amazon.com/Momtuesdays2-Wom ... ay&sr=8-73
Pink Bra 32c
https://www.amazon.com/DOBREVA-Womens-F ... th=1&psc=1
Matching Pink Panties XS
https://www.amazon.com/DOBREVA-Womens-S ... way&sr=8-7
Pink/White Heels Size 4.5
https://www.amazon.com/Charm-Foot-Women ... th=1&psc=1
I also picked up a White Bodystocking and some fake glasses.
I guess I will wash this stuff a few times and hope for the best.

Hi, Arthur1960. What brand of lingerie and black stockings are you using? I've been looking to order some color-safe brands.Arthur1960 wrote: I have good quality black lingerie that does not stain my gals and I have recently discovered a brand of black stockings that are colour safe too.

It is incredible how much they do without doing anything.

I've stained my 166c a number of times with red and black clothingDevice6 wrote:I was under the impression that TPE stains did not fade on their own so this is good information to know. There always seems to be conflicting info about TPE on here. Thanks for the clarification guys.
All of which have faded away completely without doing anything other than oiling and cleaning as normal
