To dress the doll
How difficult is it to dress and undress a Real Doll? Like moving arms and legs etc? Maybe there is a tread about that I don't know about, there is so many here.

Re: To dress the doll
Watch for places where the clothing can get stuck, such as feet and shoulders. Bunching up sleeves and legs and then moving the particular article of clothing around those points helps.

Re: To dress the doll
It is easiest if she is on a stand (standing upright). Remember it is like trying to dress a paraplegic.
Tight clothes take more effort trying to figure out positioning her arms and tight fitting skirts/jeans are a challenge in that Silicone buttocks retain their shape, not 'giving' a lot.
All-in-all it is fairly easy with patience.

How does make up work on the RD? Can you use normal make up?

Thank you Brigittebrigittes hubbie wrote:Hi angelica, welcome to the forum. Here´s one thread that you may find helpful: http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=53770. Just check the subforum for realdoll or realdoll 2 or send a pm if you have more questions. One of my dolls is Martine, a real doll classic.
Chris
What type is Martine? You have posted pictures of her? I like number 7, I think I can use my own clothes on that one.

Hi MaggieMaggie_Mae69 wrote:Hi Angelica, I own a doll by that name, but it was the company name so I changed it. RD's arms won't go all the way up without damaging the doll. If you are talking about a female , I dress them bottom up if they have short sleeves, or buy female clothes with spaghetti straps or strapless . If you are talking about a male, I think short sleeved shirts would be your best bet. Dressing them waist down is no problem at all. Of course keeping your doll naked is fine too. LOL
I want a female doll. No I like the dressing in different clothes.

Re: To dress the doll
I have two Wicked Realdolls, and as others have said, it becomes easier with practice, as you learn the limits of the doll.Angelica94 wrote:Thanks everyone for the replies, and quickly! Sounds like tight and long sleeved clothes are a bit difficult? To clarify I don't have a doll yet but want one. I want a girl doll. I want to play with it with clothes and make up and hairstyles. (Still need to save money, they are expensive!) I haven't looked at all the pictures you have on this forum yet, I looked at Real Doll page.

Angelica
It's easiest to dress the doll from the bottom up, so as long as the hips can pass through the neck opening of a dress/top/blouse, it'll work, but the tighter the outfit, the more you sweat
As long as the make-up is powder based, it'll work fine. Lipstick or gloss can be used too, but it can be a bit messy.

Re: To dress the doll
Get tops with big open necks. Those clothes go on easy. The dolls are heavy even for men. The lightest dolls are about 80 pounds( US weight) So either buy a doll stand or a chair with wheels or even an old wheelchair. The dolls are like moving a dead person or one that's paralyzed.Angelica94 wrote:Hi MaggieMaggie_Mae69 wrote:Hi Angelica, I own a doll by that name, but it was the company name so I changed it.

Re: To dress the doll
My words of advice, START OUT SLOWLY.
My owner was so excited to play dress up with me that he rushed out to buy me many sexy outfit only to find that what looks good on a model online does not nessisarily look good on a love doll.
So start out slow with basics like bikinis, bras, panties, shorts. Then work your way up to leotards, dresses, tank tops, and eventually pants and more complex costumes. Take it one step at a time and don't move on to the next step until you've mastered the one you're working on.
Here are a few of the most challenging outfits my owner's ever gotten me into. Remember, this takes lots and lots of practice. You're only going to waste your time and money if you rush things.
