This is a common question, perhaps this will help.kingjulian655 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 7:47 pm anyone know good sites for clothes for all doll sizes?
First you need to decide what human sized clothes will fit on your doll.
Since your doll is a scaled down version of a human, typical clothes might fit oddly.
A trip to a local thrift store or such can fix that. Make sure they accept returns.
Get some stuff to test for size, not necessarily to keep.
Get some women's small and X-small short sleeve and sleeveless tops.
Also some short in 0 or 00 and perhaps jeans to test.
Then some kids (girls) tops in size 6, 8 and 10.
Also kids (girls) bottoms or shorts from size 5 to 8.
Take them home and try them on your doll.
Return the ones you don't like.
When done you will have a good idea of what human size clothes should work with your doll.
Use those sizes and your doll measurements to assist you in ordering items online.
Sources like Amazon are good for some stuff. SHEIN has various items with a good return policy and decent prices.
For any of them probably small, x-small or kids sizes.
If you are going for super sexy outfits, dresses, cosplay or the rest there are niche places out there that have them in doll sizes.
Some members have even had clothes custom tailored for their doll to get exactly what they want.
But once you start getting into those areas, prices really get high.
Just my two cents.
Cheers!

Re: clothes for all size dolls?
No matter what size an online store lists for an item, check the actual target measurement of the clothing item.
In the weird world of woman's clothes sizes the terms small, medium and large are vague and relative. Only actual measurements count.
Plus as many women have gotten more ...er... "rotund" , the size ranges for some clothing has expanded along with them.
So measurements are a great help.
You can also do minor adjustments if the item is not absolutely perfect on your doll.
If a top is a bit too loose, you can bunch up the excess in the back and hold it with a hair tie. Real girls go this.
Likewise if a dress does not cinch well in the waist, you can use a belt or an elastic headband as a belt to bring it in. Real girls do that also.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!

The store sells it for $49. I asked the seller if I could give it away, and they readily agreed, lol.
Reason: Website removed. Non approved vendor.

Side note: Went with mostly light colors and white as I am a new to dolls, but plan on using the G&K Craft Retayne Color Fixative for darker stuff.

Don't get too many clothes before your doll arrives.
It is a natural tendency but can sometimes be a costly mistake.
Once you actually have her you can see what fits on her body, looks good and meets your needs (kink?)
Luckily SHEIN has a good return policy.
Enjoy your new beauty.
Cheers!
