Now I'm at the point where if I touch her with my fingers/hands, still not very convinced, but with the back of my hands, or when my legs brush up again her thighs in bed, my brain is able to read "skin" from the contact.
I guess with me it is different. My wife very rarely wore stocking or pantyhose and when she did...the mere sight just wanted to make me run my hands up and down her legs. Going higher and higher feeling the diameter of her legs get wider as I went higher was enough to do it. I have read that the Happy Dolls 'skin' is very much like pantyhose. So I tried to find some VERY smooth (and shiny) pantyhose to put over her legs, what I received in the mail is amazing feeling. I don't think I will have a problem in terms of the doll's legs, especially with these pantyhose on.
The arms and shoulders might be a different story. Here I am expecting my arms to run down bare skin. Worse, I am used to feeling the arm details beneath the arms on my wife. Being on the slim side, I can see AND feel the muscular movements of her upper arms and shoulders. This is an immediate arousal for me, but a doll doesn't have these 'details' under their skin. I was happy to hear there are collarbone details and often when the lights are out, this is an area (on my wife) that I would run my fingers along. Even if my wife was wearing something tight and I could see and feel her collarbones...that is something that works for me too. Shoulders are a big one for me. I always cup my hands around my wife's shoulders. I am worried this might be a high wear and tear area on the doll. But one thing that is putting off are the seams...due to the construction of the bodysuit that is over the doll, the seems go the opposite way if the natural indentations of the shoulders. I was looking for a bodysuit that would cover the shoulders with no seams and is more of a skin color, so it would at least look better. I think I succeeded in finding one, but I have to wait for it to arrive in the mail.
One feature of the arm I wish the doll would have in terms of details is that indentation you feel where the shoulder muscles meet up with the bicep and tricep muscles. When you grasp a woman by the arms here...as is usually the case when having sex, you can readily feel this indentation (and the associated muscular movements, mainly from the shoulders and triceps). And again this is on a woman that is thinner or reasonably fit. Also, moving down the arm, there is a noticeable indentation in the center of the opposite side of the elbow. The forearm also flares out at this point and then slowly tapers down to the wrist. If they had this detailing on the dolls arms that would certainly make it easier to make the transition to fabric. Running my hands down the arms with a material on such as Lycra or higher grades of polyester really feels nice, almost like silk. But the difference is that poly / Lycra blends can hug the skin tighter than silk. So again it is a matter of feeling the details through the fabric that would be enough.
Just about all the outfits that I am initially buying for the doll are VERY stretchy. This is for two reasons...one I do not have the doll yet, so I been sticking with very stretchy stuff mainly for fit. But also I wanted tight fitting items for look and feel.
You mentioned the lack of back details too. Shoulder blades are another body feature I take a liking to. My wife has enormous shoulder blades (for her size)...in fact on her, she could actually pull her shoulders back and they almost touch. Then there is that indentation that runs down the middle of the back where all the back muscles attach to the spine. Running my finger down that seem and feeling the vertebrae of the spin is an amazing erotic feeling.
I think there is much I am going to miss from going from a real woman to an artificial one. More so with when going from more realistic TPE or Silicone dolls in which many that have these features. Believe it or not, on one of the WM dolls, it has the vertebrae indentations I was talking about. Also I mentioned before about the 'athletic' dolls. For certain, they would have the details I was l mentioning earlier and above.
So for most aspects, the arms are probably not detailed enough on a fabric doll to cause arousal on looks or feel. I am trying to change the prior though by attempting to use clothing details to create an arousing look. For example...I am a nut for open shoulder tops and bell sleeves. Off shoulder tops that expose the entire neckline from shoulder to shoulder are also highly attractive. It is with such a top, I am wondering that if I could angle the ambient light properly on Dagmar's collarbones, perhaps the light could create a 'shadow' on her skin to make the collarbones look more pronounced.
It is all little tricks that I been thinking of to prepare for her arrival and to line up what it is that I KNOW will work.
So the upper body is certainly harder to work with than the lower body. There the details are there. Dagmar has a beautiful butt...I can readily see those details and the body curvatures. Also if my wife ever wore stockings and we became close, I never took them off. So I am already conditioned to stockings when it comes to the legs.
But for a blind person, aside from protective purposes, putting clothes and stockings on her seems almost pointless cause there's no real contrust between naked skin and the materials of the garments.
One thing I enjoy greatly with my TPE Riza is when touching her, I get that definite tactile stimulation of bare flesh transitioning to silk or lace.
Yes, that is very much understood...even with sighted folks. With me it is not so much a problem with the legs. If the stockings are very tight and smooth, it is just the hand gently squeezing around the diameter of the thigh that is enough. But I believe I would be in the same boat with you when it comes to the arms. Here I am expecting to touch bare skin. The fingers wrapping around bare shoulders is amazingly intense. So this is an area where I might have trouble with too.
It did have me wondering that if a a thin and very stretchy layer of latex could be stretched over the underside of the cutouts on a cold shoulder dress (or top) to restore some of that 'skin' feel. It could look and feel more realistic.
With that said, when Cammy's dressed in her satin nightgown, she is a joy to hug and cuddle lol.
I am going to have to get one of these too, but perhaps a 3 piece one as I know if it is a regular loose fitting PJ, that isn't going to do much visually. BUT there are many silk PJ's that are three piece outfits that include a pant bottom, a robe and also a nice sleeveless top.
This is all stuff that is new ground for me. I have never seen or touched a doll in person, so I do not know what one these feel like and I only seen what they looked like from pictures here on the internet.
I do know that when I got that stretchy ribbed leotard yesterday and I was trying to check it for quality and also for stretchiness to determine if it will fit, I know I will like the doll in that outfit. I am not sure if you know what I mean about ribbed outfits. They do feel great under the skin and they are very tactile. Your fingers can run along the curves of the ribs in the outfit as it hugs closely to the curves on your doll. Despite being an outfit that doesn't show skin above the waist, it is still very attractive looking and feeling. But the high cut legs and those shiny pantyhose I am going to put on her underneath is going make the entire outfit that much more enticing. Further, the outfit is a base to layer on. So I could put a skirt on her and also another top over the leotard, creating a completely different looking AND feeling outfit.
But some items...such as a swing dress I bought her, it is made from a very high grade of polyester and it just feels fantastic under the skin, very much like Lycra. I know you can't see pictures and I am not sure if you know what I mean by a swing dress. But basically it is a dress with a high waist line and a skirt that is at knee level. It is often sleeveless, sometimes off shoulder, sometimes a halter. It could even be strapless. It could have an open or closed back. But the common thing to all swing dresses is a pleated skirt that flares out and away from the body in an 'A' shape. Many times these dresses do not do this on their own, but they do flare out a bit on a woman with large hips. But to create the desired effect of the dress flaring away from the body, a petticoat, or under dress is required. This gives the dress a very full taper away from the body. This was a very popular style in the 50's...but the style really never went out. Many women still wear swing dresses today, minus the petticoat.
As I was saying, this particular one I bought has an amazing feeling material. I had a hard time putting the dress down when I first unboxed it. So this could be another type of material that I can associate with 'arousal'.
