Part of the consideration too is I want a doll that'd wear what's already here or what I'll be spending lots of money on- example, Mia can most likely fit clothes already for Jewel and Cammy, and since she's about same size as my gf, I know whatever I buy for my gf, Mia can wear too lol. Just a bit of money saving tactic.

OMG! That is a heavy doll! I didn't really look at her specs though. You might have a good back, but still be careful. I would say at that weight you are going to be in the top most position for sure. Wow! She's not far off from the weight of my wife!

I hear you in regards to saving money and I am in the same boat there. Given that most of the items I bought my doll were new, I racked up a bill on clothing and very quickly that bill shot over $1000. So I was taking that into consideration when looking for another doll. Even though much of my clothing for Eryka would have been a bit big on the DS Ex-Lite, the stretchy stuff would probably still fit. So while not all of the clothing would fit, a good portion would. But now that DS discontinued that doll, it is one less choice.

I have to say that you must have some good upper body strength to be moving these heavier TPE ladies around. I know I have had my limits and the most I felt comfortable moving around would be about 65 lbs. No heavier. Sadly there are not many TPE or silicone dolls in this weight category. But I am taking into consideration my age. I am not getting any younger either. So that is why the fabric dolls come in at a nice weight. Keep in mind when I had Eryka at my parent's house, I used to lug her up the stairs and into the master bedroom. When I was done with her, back downstairs into her closet she went. I seriously doubt I would be doing this with a 60lb+ doll.

Lol it's like my gf says, "use your legs, not your back or arms!" and that is very true when moving these dolls.
Also in my training program we used to have this part where we had to jog with our partner on our back, and we were always paired up with people our own weight, which means I had to get used to jogging while lugging someone who was 180/190 LBs...
Carrying a real person is alot easier than a doll though. I don't want to imagine trying to carry a 190 LBs doll!

Stephanie feeling smug, having "borrowed" one of Riza's outfits. I think the diet's working- it fits!

Yes, with a doll that would be dead weight. Much harder to carry than a living person. My wife is 140lbs and I can pick her up pretty easily. But when I went to Lowes Home Improvement to test weigh some bags of cement. I found that once I hit the 70 lb back, that was kind of it. I knew I didn't want to handle a doll much heavier than that. 50 to 60lbs was much more doable. But sadly this would mean a smaller doll. 6YE and DS dolls seemed to be the only ones that had a full sized doll that weighed around 67lbs. DS being the preferred maker, but they are very expensive.

Stephanie looks fine in Riza's outfit, but it is a bit small on her.

Yeah I had to adjust the straps to their longest for that thing to go on her lol. If she was a living feeling person, I'm sure she'd say it's still not comfortable.

Well, the top part is JUST containing her bosom. There is heavy cleavage and side boob showing. For a guy looking in though not a big deal, the fronts are covered and that is what matters most. But as you said, if she was real, she might not be comfortable showing that much up front. Her cleavage goes all the way down to the lower curvature, so that is pretty exposed, but I have seen dresses that go entirely through the sternum area. I wouldn't call it indecent though, but she is showing a lot. Without a doubt though, she is your nicest doll by a long shot.

Hahaha yeah, I almost tipped the lingerie getting it over her tits. That's the one issue with Stephanie, alot of things she wears are loose elsewhere but tight across her chest.

With Eryka, the butt and waist can be a problem. Many items I buy closely fit the bust most and as such, she nicely fills that area out. I actually measured her up size out and she is a D cup, not a C. However the underbust is a bit small on her and thus she fits into a C - cup bra. The fit is pretty snug though. Now the issue is that her body tapers down to a small waist and again with most clothing, not too much of a problem. Stretchy outfits work best here, but regular fitted outfits might be a bit baggy around the waist. That brings me to her hips, which I measured out at 100cm. 2cm larger than advertised. This is where I have trouble with fitted or hugging dresses. Almost none fit her. Ether I have to go separates using a small for her top and a medium for her bottoms. In terms of dresses, the only ones that fit right are A-line or swing dresses in which the hip size is not taken into consideration. In fact, with a skirt like this on a dress, her more pronounced hips makes the skirt part flare out more without using a petticoat. So that is what I have to deal with her clothing. Some of the one size fits all stuff fits her too, but usually I have to be careful with going over her butt as I can feel that the material is being stretched to the max. However, with these outfits, the taper from her waist to hips is heavenly. By making the waist slightly smaller, certainly makes for a very curvy doll and that was what I wanted. On her backside the back to butt curvature is another slice of heaven.

I think out of the many outfits I bought, only one somewhat undersized halter bodysuit I bought directly from China caused a problem. When I put it on her, I actually heard some of the seams giving a bit around the zipper area. It just barely got over her butt. I didn't see anything ripped or torn, but I knew I reached my limits with that one. Returning was not an option sadly. However, the bodysuit looked great on her, fitting in all areas. It was just the zipper that was the big problem. If it opened another 2 inches more, then I would have been good. I have not used that outfit since as it does take a very long time to put it on and nothing can be bunched up in the hip area. Otherwise it will tear for sure.

Yeah I ripped quite a few sets of lingerie getting them over Jewel's 49 inch butt lol. Things bought from China are a bit iffy at times, they're generally Chinese sizes which these ladies are not!

Depending on the website you order from, they may or may not go through the trouble of posting the exact measurements. Asian sizes are always one up from American sizes. So an American size small is Asian size Medium. I don't go by that. I always look for a chart that the company posts that shows the B-W-H measurements. THAT is what I go by, not the letter (or in the case of US number) designations. I have to look these numbers up mainly because Eryka is bottom heavy (as you know yourself). She is bigger in the butt and pushes an American Medium, whereas her upper body is a American small. More often than not I have to go with separates. In the case of that halter leotard that I got from China, it was the largest size available and it still didn't fit. But I lay blame on that to the zipper. It should have been cut another two inches down and then there would have been no problem in getting it on her. Naturally that was where the stitching was giving when I put it on her the first time. When I took it off, I made sure that the leotard didn't fold over or bunch up and it came off with no problem and no sounds of the stitches popping.

I don't know how long I will get use of that outfit, but I don't put it on her often. It is a nice looking leotard and when it is on her, it is a very fitted look. I DO like it very much and it does have the crotch access too, but I am just a bit afraid that it will eventually tear. I don't think I would even wash it in a machine. If it ever gets stained, I would have to spot wash it by hand.

I have noticed too that with Eryka, her actual sizes are generous and she is actually a bit bigger than advertised, but still close enough. However, with her hips, it does have her pushing the max on a medium.

Yeah, the "official" measurements can be off at times. In Stephanie's case, off by quite a bit- she is definitely much taller than 5"4, and those tits are way bigger than any DDs I've seen before lol.

Heck, I know what you mean there as many doll companies are WAY off on the doll weights. That is a nod to Happy Dolls in that I have to say that their measurements and weights are pretty accurate. It is within an inch or so.

Oh! Wait wait, DD's you have SEEN? Oh come now, we all know you mean felt. LOL!!!

Lol yeah, I kinda wonder maybe when they measured Stephanie to be 5"4 they meant without the head.

That is possible. It depends on what they were referencing if it was just the body or the head with the body. Normally the main dimension they tout is with the head, no wig on. They probably were off though as the typical head is 10" and I doubt that your Stephanie is 6'2" tall with the head on. As it is, it is very rare they make a doll over 5'7" tall. It would just be too heavy. Also keep in mind many of these dolls are aimed at the Chinese / Japanese markets as they have the lion's share of buyers. Asian men and women are typically not very tall. Dolls in the 5' to 5'5" tall would be the most popular. This is a good sizes as it puts the doll into a category in which they fit into existing petite women's sizes.

Lol, I remember when my Chinese friend Kevin met Stephanie, he went, "Wo, she bigger than me!"
