Clothing size/measurment questions
Never in my life have I been interested in finding the perfect sized clothes until now. I purchsed a WM 156C B29/W23/H32 from beautifull dolls and is waiting to receive her in weeks time.
I looked up U.S sizing for women and these measurement fit the small size category.
Did I read the chart right? Is it really small size I have to be looking for?
It would be very helpful if experienced doll owners gave me some pointers when looking for good fitting clothes. On another matter, I did read up on the dangers of staining TPE and how to avoid them.

She's a size 0 or extra small. I recommend waiting until she arrives.
I've had my girl for a few days, almost nothing off-the-rack fits her. She's a JY Doll 170cm Alyssa.
I am really, really happy with her, but her proportions are not like a real girl, She has 34" hips and chest (87 cm), and a 20" waist (50 cm). Added complexity in that she's 5' 7" tall with narrow shoulders. My plan is to get a sewing machine and learn how to alter and make clothing ASAP. I'm glad I waited to get her before I bought a lot of clothing.
Currently she relaxes 24/7 in the white body suit that came with her; It protects her from my dirty hands and random stains, plus it fits, and she looks sexy in it.

Women's XS, Junior's size 0, and Children's size 12 should fit her like they were made for her, aside from the doll having the typical short stomach. (Some shirts are long enough to be dresses). Women's XXS, Junior's 00, and Children's size 10 will fit, but will be nearly skin-tight (so be careful putting them on, and taking them off - wearing a body stocking under her clothes will make this easier).
Women's size small might be a little loose/baggy. It should work fine for T-shirts/sweaters/jackets, but probably not for non-stretchy halter tops like denim, leather, etc.
For pants, my doll has a 28" inseam, so I expect your doll might be close to that too, but measure it yourself, first.
For stretchy one-piece bathing suits, you can go from Women's XXS all the way down to a Children's size 7, due to the doll's short stomach (otherwise, the middle of the suit can look baggy). String bikini's are very adjustable and give you more leeway, being in two separate pieces.
My doll likes women's shoe sizes 4-5, but YL vs. WM may have different sized feet?
That being said, it's always best to wait for your doll to arrive, so you can take her actual measurements before spending money on clothing that won't fit.
Once you know your doll's clothing size(s), I recommend shopping at Swap.com
Best of luck

Re: Clothing size/measurment questions
As many have suggested I will hold off on buying clothes blind and wait for her to arrive.
Once again thank you TDF members!
