Clothes on a Silicone Doll

How long can you leave clothing on a silicone doll? I understand the clothing could leave impressions. I have a Zelex silicone doll and it’s a chore dressing her. I usually dress her and take photographs and then undress her immediately afterwards and store her away.

My silicone dolls are dressed and there is no problem. Always wash garments before use, always install them on soft surfaces. ALWAYS !
In case of color contamination, do nothing, no cleaning, no chemicals, just be patient. Silicone will suppress the problem by itself somehow like sweating. It can take weeks.

Hello BFIN-77,

my doll has clothes always. We make changing each week.
She would be so cold with no clothes >.<

Good question!
My Desiree (silicone) is in pre-washed clothes ALWAYS (not to mention suntan pantyhose) and has from house clothes (silk robes and underwear) to causal wear to a few party/occasion dresses.

Thank you all for the reply’s. I hate having my doll hanging in the closet and covered up all the time. I guess I should get her out and dress her and let her sit out.
I wish my doll was not so heavy. If I could do it over again I would have been more careful about the weight of the doll.

This is the most common overlooked factor by new doll owners, so, you're not alone! But, you live and you learn, right?

Remember to give her feet some socks as well

I believe you, but you're sure there's nothing to clean up color bleed on silicone? Sunlight? Light cleaning?

Mine is in clothes all the time, but I keep her only in washed white clothes so there's no colour to cause any staining.
Sunlight is not a problem either...so far!
