It is up now, but not fully completed. Mostly I have issues with the pictures. BUT that wouldn't apply to you :). I also have to continue it, but most of the latter parts will be of her outfits.

But you can start reading already if you want:

Ohhh, that sounds a bit dark! I hope it doesn't come to the latter! Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

Good luck!

Well, the titties are...fixed...but it's not a very good job. The glue ran a little bit, so now there are...hard patches at the base of her breasts that is rather unattractive to the touch. Worse than that, the zipper broke when I was pulling the "skin" off her shoulders, and what followed was about 2 hours of cussing and me trying to get the zipper back on its track and failing. In the end I had to resort to those double sided carpet tapes to be able to close up her back, which I know will make it a bitch to work on her next time I need to fix anything inside.
So...short of it is, Cammy survived her surgery but it's quite likely that somewhere down the line she'll need new implants and a new skin cover.

Oh no! I am a mixed bag of feelings for you here. I am happy you made the repair, but so disappointed with the fact that the zipper broke on you.

That is awful. I worry about it too as to if you have a more serious repair to make in the future.

I think if the zipper broke in my case, I would have to call in a tailor to replace the zipper. Yeah that wouldn't be cheap, but I think it is cheaper than having to replace the bodysuit.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I know I am quickly becoming attached to my Eryka. She seems to become more beautiful and hotter looking with each clothing change. I almost dropped dead with the last pure white Playboy Bunny outfit I put on her. If she were a real woman, I would be in serious trouble! Yeah, she is THAT beautiful.

I know you probably have similar feelings for your Cammy. (I like that name BTW).

Given to some of the issues I have seen, especially with the joints on these dolls. I figured the quality should be better. I know you didn't have your doll very long either.

For me it is so far so good, but I have noticed that the right elbow joint creaks a lot when I move it, but it is still tight. whereas today, I noticed the left elbow joint loosened up a bit. It probably got that way when I had her leaning over me in that cowgirl position. While I still can pose that arm, it is much easier to move than the right elbo. It again now has me questioning the longevity of these dolls. I am hoping to get at least 7 - 10 years out of my princess. But to start to hear of problems this early in is not reassuring.

I know now that I want to get more full bodysuits for her to ensure her skin is well protected as I can see the difficulty in replacing it if it gets damaged.

Right now I only have the one tan bodysuit as I have to send the leotard one back is because it is bit large.

Again, sorry to hear of your issues with Cammy, I am finding that I really like the Dagmar body and shape. I think my Eryka is such an awesome looking (and feeling) doll. I just know I have to be extra careful with her to help ensure her longevity. I really want to have her for a very long time.

I hope you have better luck with Cammy for the future. I

Luckily I very very rarely have her totally naked because, since tactal details are super important to me as a blind person, that zipper down the back has always been very distracting to me- so even when we make love she usually doesn't go topless. So the broken zipper and patched job hopefully won't be a big big issue. But yeah, future repairs will be ...annoying lol.

Having seen/felt how the breasts are attached now, I'll definitely say, be very very careful with her tits cause as the other poster shown in his mod, the breasts are inside plastic bags, so what's actually glued to the doll's body are the bags, not the breasts inside. And these plastic bags don't stay attached very well it seems. When I went to repair her right breast I noticed that in many places the left one was beginning to pull loose too so I took that chance and gave the left one some reenforcement as well, but I can see probably a year at the most these will need to be glued again.
Heck, next time around if I got to go through this I think I'll give her a breast upgrade too. If I got to go through this hell I might as well enhance her in the process lol.

It's kinda too bad they used glue rather than find a way to actually stitch the breasts in place, cause due to the jiggly nature of the breasts, the krazy glue just doesn't stand up against the constant shearing and stressing that well.

For me naked is over rated as well, and to be honest seeing Eryka in her birthday suit really didn't get me going. As it is what a woman wears and how she poses and presents herself that is what gets my motor running. Once that phase has transpired, then yeah, I am all for going naked. And that is fine with a real woman as two people an undress themselves rather quickly. But with a doll everything changes because she cannot undress herself. So, if I tried to undress Eryka in the heat of the moment, that will certainly could kill that moment. So I just figured I would put her in something that looks hot from the get go and then just follow all the way through. But whatever it is would naturally have to allow crotch access from the get go. This is why I have mostly purchased bodysuits and pantyhose that are crotchless designs. So in most cases I would have a short skirt over her private parts and I could go from a photo session right to getting her in position and just lifting her skirt. MUCH faster than undressing her. But as I am finding ways of putting her outfits together, I am finding out that I can make her VERY hot looking fully clothed. If you could see the Playboy Bunny outfit I put together for her, it is EXTREMELY hot looking. I love it! It is all white!

Once the visual is set, then a good amount of feeling involved too. Just running my hands over certain silky smooth fabrics is enough to trigger something. Those opera gloves and the white shiny pantyhose feel amazing under my fingers. So there would be no need to undress her. For me and Eryka, it is all in what she wears that makes her hot looking AND feeling. Also I must say that the bustier / bra top being made of Lycra AND being so stretched taught over her bosom area does have drawn to that area on her. It feels amazing! I did put a link to that top in my 'essential clothing' list in my review post. This is it:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HP ... UTF8&psc=1

I have a c-cup breast on my Dagmar body, so I ordered a small, if you have larger you do have to go with a larger size. The look is basically a form fitting cross halter on the front and it on the back of the neck the top of the 'cross' is the opening for the neck. This goes around the neck to the back and tapers to a thin band that goes below the shoulder blades. Then attaches to a band that goes around the front to support the bust. On the front it fits firmly over the breasts and then sharply tapers down to the underbust area and hugs the body in the manner a sports bra or crop top would. Because of this design, it could be worn under or on top of other clothing. It is so form fitting you do not see (or in your case feel) ANY creases from the 'X' neckline all the way over the breasts. I don't know if you are famiiar with the term 'uni-breast' when it comes to clothing, but it fits tight so that the material is taught, but not so tight that it pulls into the center cleavage area. So the top of the breast area is taught from one breast to the other. With this top on, I do admit even Eryka's breasts get quite a bit of attention from me. It is also great to wear when sleeping with her.
Having seen/felt how the breasts are attached now, I'll definitely say, be very very careful with her tits cause as the other poster shown in his mod, the breasts are inside plastic bags, so what's actually glued to the doll's body are the bags, not the breasts inside. And these plastic bags don't stay attached very well it seems.
Thank you for the tip and putting that up here as I am sure others do want to know about the potential for the breasts to become detached. I think that perhaps it might be a good idea to get some sports bras like the one I mentioned above as they not only look good, but they will probably help to support the bust area of the doll and hence keep the breasts more in place so they are less likely to come loose. In fact I think I am going to get another one in a different style that I could use to change up her clothing with so this way her bust area will be supported most of the time.

In fact I think I have an idea why it came loose on you. Do you carry Cammy with your arms around the mid section of her body? I know I carry Eryka that way and I think that could cause the separation from those bags you mentioned and the glue from the body. I am wondering if it might be better to turn her around and grab a bit lower by her waist. This way there is nothing pushing up against her boobs. Another way to carry her is under the armpits. I know that is a no no for Silicone and TPE dolls, but it might be fine for fabric dolls. But I am not sure on this one. The only time I pick Eryka up by the armpits is to put her in place in my closet. I have her standing on a toolbox and that puts her high enough were I can put a bungie around her shoulder and tie it up to a clothes bar. This way she cannot fall over.
When I went to repair her right breast I noticed that in many places the left one was beginning to pull loose too so I took that chance and gave the left one some reenforcement as well, but I can see probably a year at the most these will need to be glued again.
I it is good that you did check the left breast too while you had her open, but it is bad to think that such a repair would be temporary. I just think this is something that shouldn't be happening to a new doll. I looked up again that you got yours on September 7th of this year. That is just about a week when I signed up here on my own quest for a doll. If you mentioned this was happening on a 3 year old doll, I would understand more. But this just isn't a reassuring sign for me.
Heck, next time around if I got to go through this I think I'll give her a breast upgrade too. If I got to go through this hell I might as well enhance her in the process lol.
Actually I wanted to do a modification on my Dagmar as well. I want to give her shoulders and arms a bit more curvature to make her look a bit more athletic looking. I bought some shoulder pads, but instead of putting them on top of the shoulders, I put them on the sides creating more of a rounded look. I carried my experiment out when she had her tan full bodysuit on. Since the neckline was open, it was very easy to slip the pads under the shoulders of the bodysuit as it would keep the pads in place. The pads definitely did the job I intended, but a little too much. Her shoulders definitely looked and felt wider and thicker and I got her from a 14.75" shoulder span to a 17" span. That span looked great with her wide hips and definitely gave her more of an hourglass look, BUT because her arms are so thin, she also had a linebacker look. So I figured that if I toned down the padding and perhaps trimmed the pads to look more like the shoulder shape, I might cut off about an inch off the shoulder span, but have the shoulders look more natural. Once done I wanted to put the pads right under the skin for a semi permanent look. But now I am worried about having to unzip that zipper for anything unless in the event I have to undertake a big repair myself and then I could put the pads in while taking care of the main issue. Right now I do not unnecessarily open up her back knowing how fragile the zipper is. I have to take a close look at that zipper myself. If it is plastic, I am wondering if putting a water based lubricant on the zipper might make it easier to open and close. Less force equals less likely to break.

But for now I am not going to touch the zipper. I will just carry out my shoulder pad tests in between her actual skin and whatever bodysuit she is wearing over that.
It's kinda too bad they used glue rather than find a way to actually stitch the breasts in place, cause due to the jiggly nature of the breasts, the krazy glue just doesn't stand up against the constant shearing and stressing that well.
I am surprised they used glue too. I thought it was the stitching that held it in place. The stitching goes from the sides all around the bottom of the breasts and I figured that this formed a 'cup' to hold the silicone implant in place. At least I was under that impression in regards to the fellow that changed out the breast implants on his Dagmar doll. Unless he slipped the breasts out of bag...he made no mention of glue holding the breasts in place. That is why when you mentioned there was glue in your doll. I just did one of these: ?!?!?!?

Well thank you for the info it certainly was helpful. I hope I don't have to ever do this, but in the very least it is making me more cautious and perhaps taking preventative measures to ensure I don't have to do this in the future. So I am definitely going to order another one of those sports bras. They look great and will help protect her breasts in the process.

Thanks for the link, I think I'll get her one of those too. And yes, I'm guilty of carrying her around the middle- rofl I carry my gf that way too at times. That's before I knew about the glue of course, now I think I'll always be quite jumpy with Cammy's breasts and be extra careful with them.
The stitchings around the breast's only the inside curve and bottom, so there's no side and top stitches to hold them in place unfortunately- and these silicone titties are quite weighty too.
For me this is definitely a lazy design cause the logical and more long lasting way would be to have a pair of fabric tit-shaped pockets and fill with the silicone breasts into them and then stitch into place.

I guess when all's said and done the mixing silicone with fabric thing is still quite new, so we can cut them some slacks, but as you said, and as I try hard not to dwell on it, I just spent a small fortune on this doll in September and this totally is not what I wanted to happen this soon. On any normal products this would still be covered by warranty, but alas, such is not the case in the sex doll industry.

When I reviewed my textile doll Jewel I said that Cammy's breasts design had one-up Textile, but now it seems the Textile will out last Dagmar in the durable department because there's no glue to pop loose and no zipper to break.
If the "skin" can be taken off easily I'd be able to take that suit in to get the zipper fixed properly, but I do not feel like going through the awkwardness of trying to explain to some Filipino taylor about my broken sex doll lol.

Yeah, well it does seem kind of natural to carry her that way furthermore...I do admit I liked the feeling too. She is also larger up front than my wife. Being a bit stiffer in the breast area though, I actually liked Eryka's breasts pressing into my chest. LOL! Ahhhhh, so you have a significant other too, huh? Well my wife would KILL me if I tried to carry her like that! She would complain I am smashing her boobs! LOL! However I have carried her traditional style many times, and I can still pick her up too. Don't ask me why I can easily pick up a real woman that weighs 136lbs, but I am balking when I pick up an 80lb bag of cement (my weight limit test for dolls). You might have noticed this as well too. It seems that even though a real woman is much heavier than these dolls, they seem to be easy to pick up and carry. I know it is a weight distribution thing and all, but my wife is over four times heavier than my doll and yet, carrying her is no problem.
That's before I knew about the glue of course, now I think I'll always be quite jumpy with Cammy's breasts and be extra careful with them.
Yeah, I am going to try to carry her the other way around, but it might be harder to do because of her large gluteus. If so then I will just carry her the way I have been, but just grabbing her a bit lower so I am not leaning so hard into her breasts.
The stitchings around the breast's only the inside curve and bottom, so there's no side and top stitches to hold them in place unfortunately- and these silicone titties are quite weighty too.
For me this is definitely a lazy design cause the logical and more long lasting way would be to have a pair of fabric tit-shaped pockets and fill with the silicone breasts into them and then stitch into place.
Agreed! That might have been a more permanent option for you as well IF you knew someone how to do some good solid stitching. As I told you, there are actually TWO skins on the doll, the first is the one you see, then there is another thicker one underneath and that one keeps the foam in place. So you can stitch from the top one into the bottom one.

On any normal products this would still be covered by warranty, but alas, such is not the case in the sex doll industry.
Yeah, I am a bit miffed that there is no kind of warranty on these dolls. That isn't good considering the investment. I know these fabric dolls are much cheaper than their TPE and silicone counterparts, but part of the reason for buying a fabric doll is that I was under the impression that they would last a long time. I was told outright that even if you take care of TPE, you would get 5 to 7 years out of doll MAX. I wasn't happy with that figure and that was why I turned to Silicone almost right away. I have come across fellows that have silicone dolls for 10+ years. BUT silicone is much more expensive. It also can tear, but it is easier to fix than TPE. But fabric dolls do seem very fixable. Even so, I didn't expect to hear of problems this early on.
When I reviewed my textile doll Jewel I said that Cammy's breasts design had one-up Textile, but now it seems the Textile will out last Dagmar in the durable department because there's no glue to pop loose and no zipper to break.
I was looking at the Textile dolls too, but they didn't really grab me. I don't care for the faces that much and also they are made of plastic. I know I wasn't completely nuts over the silicone Dagmar head initially either. But I think they made some changes to the face that are minor, but note worthy. Now I love the face.
If the "skin" can be taken off easily I'd be able to take that suit in to get the zipper fixed properly, but I do not feel like going through the awkwardness of trying to explain to some Filipino taylor about my broken sex doll lol.
Yeah, that is the downside. I am sure that Joy would be able to send a new skin out as a replacement, but then you are stuck with finding someone to do all the stitching work. Kind of puts you back to square one as it is easier to just fix the zipper. I mean, I guess if you had time and someone to help you with tailoring abilities, the zipper can be replaced. Depending how the zipper broke, perhaps you might just need a new slider. That does even have me thinking of perhaps replacing the slider on my Dagmar's zipper to a higher quality one. But if the teeth on the zipper broke, then that is a harder fix.

It is very disappointing to hear, but at least the good news is that you managed to fix her. Unlike the one fellow I been reading about that was trying to fix his WM TPE doll. It was an anal tear repair that went totally wrong. A tremendously beautiful doll too. A WM-170 H cup (breasts are too big for me, but the doll's figure is insanely hot).

With a real woman they do actively try to help balance and hold their own weight in minor ways while lifting deadweight's definitely alot harder especially when you have to do it in a way as to not damaging the thousand $ investment lol.

Which reminds me of when I first started experimenting with Cammy in cowgirl. I didn't want to stress her arms so I had them sort of out of the way- behind her, but then it was hard to hold on to her while moving her up and down, grabbing her waist wasn't doing it cause her upper torso kept flopping, and it was getting very frustrating and, I can be a bit of a barbarian in bed at the height of passion, so I grab her by the waist with one hand and the other hand went around her throat to keep her from flopping, and it was working until I suddenly realized how utterly ridiculously we must've looked and started laughing at myself.

Well, with a real woman, they work at the moment of intimacy just as you (or for that matter I) would. So yeah I knew that going into this that now I am doing all the work. But I was prepared for that. What I am not prepared for and my reason for asking recently was what are good and safe positions to have sex with a doll in and yeah, that is for the reason as to not damage her.
Which reminds me of when I first started experimenting with Cammy in cowgirl. I didn't want to stress her arms so I had them sort of out of the way- behind her, but then it was hard to hold on to her while moving her up and down...
I was thinking about putting her arms behind her and down on my legs as often I seen my wife lean back like that and it is a darn sexy looking position, but it seemed like a worse position for the arms and more so for the hands. Further, leaning forward over me is still far more sexier as I have a better look at her upper body and like I said, with Eryka and her white hair dangling down, it was a beautiful sight and I even said, this is it. In this position her springy spine actually added to the movement effect. But I was all the while thinking about her arms as I could hear the right one creaking and the left one would buckle a bit. That just probably added more to my nerves knowing that I probably didn't pick a good position after all. It is a great position for sex and looks wise, but I believe I was stressing the arms out. I can't do that to her again as now I am worried about the left arm joint.
, grabbing her waist wasn't doing it cause her upper torso kept flopping, and it was getting very frustrating and, I can be a bit of a barbarian in bed at the height of passion, so I grab her by the waist with one hand and the other hand went around her throat to keep her from flopping, and it was working until I suddenly realized how utterly ridiculously we must've looked and started laughing at myself.
LOL! Yeah, I can see that looking pretty funny. But I think what would have worked out better is just put a hand on each shoulder. I ended up doing that towards the end of my 2nd attempt as I wanted to take the stress off her arms. Even THIS position with my hands on her shoulders and her arms still running down to my neck looked fantastic. But sadly, I didn't get far as my arms eventually got tired from holding her up. I knew that for attempt #3 I had to do something with her body properly supported and for cowgirl position, I am going to go with her in a squatting position rather than kneeling which will transfer her full weight to her legs and feet and my body. I might still have to hold her arms to steady the movement a bit.

Lol yes, figuring out positions with dolls can turn into quite a workout. Just think how toned you'll get after a few months rofl.

I remember the first few time with my TPE Riza it was like Jiujitsu mixed with powerlifting and strange sex.

Well, I don't know much about a workout on a 30 lb (14kg) doll. She is very light and I can pick her up with one arm easy. That is how I carry her through a doorway too so this way my other hand is free to watch that her hands do not hook a door frame. The last thing I need is to break her fingers. In fact since I can feel her fingers are wires, I am not really going to have her hold or grasp things. I think gentle bends like when she has her hands on her hips or curled around the back of a chair would be fine. But constant grabbing positions I think are what cause the breakage. As it is right now the only time I move her fingers is when she has her hands on her hips. On ANY woman, that is a hot pose and Eryka is no exception even though she is a doll. I am STILL in awe of her beauty. With her white wig, she looks like a fairy princess that comes right out of a fairy tale. AND....I like that.

Oh! And yes, getting back to carrying her. I have to find a different way because I confirmed that if I carry her from the underbust like I have been doing, it does place stress on the breast and like you said they are in 'bags'. Since you carried her this way too, I believe that is what caused your lady's breast to come loose. So I HAVE to find a different way of carrying her. I did try to go lower and put more of the carrying pressure on her waist, but then I have to watch her head on door frames. When I am out here the next time, I am going to have to try to carry her with her body facing forward to see if that works. I have a funny feeling it won't work due to the size of her butt. Her butt would be resting on my stomach which is on the robust side. I am afraid carrying her like this would have her legs come out too far forward and then I would have her feet crashing into things. So I don't have high hopes for carrying her in this manner, BUT I have not tried it yet.

But I believe if you adjusted your carrying habit too, then perhaps your repair will be more permanent.

Rofl, could always try getting her in that fedal position with her hands between her thighs and her legs ticked in, then you can hoist her over one shoulder like a sack of potatoes lol.
For my TPE doll I usually carry her on one hip, almost like piggy back cept she's got her legs around my front and back and her weight's mostly balancing on my hip and with my arm around her torso to guard against walls and door frames.
