Dressing a Love Doll can be a daunting experience for new owners, trying to dress and undress what is essentially, over 30kgs of dead weight. There are techniques to make life so much easier though and in the video below I'll show you some of mine. It is a guide to get you started, and you will via off into your own way of doing things in time, but if they help you get started then the video was worth making.
Lifting
Lifting and moving your doll is one of the hardest things to learn. Many new owners dreams come to a crashing stop when they get their new doll and the weight of her becomes only too real! A heavy doll that you struggle to move becomes a obstacle you tend to not want to maneuver around! This is why getting the right sized and weight doll is so important.
So, realising the weight of these love dolls, to dress one is not as easy as you might imagine at first! You need a technique. Here's mine...
Dressing
Start with the easiest option. If your doll is wearing trousers or a skirt, that is the easiest clothing to change or remove. Stand your doll against a wall...
..unzip any zippers and buttons and pull the garment down to her knees.
Then lift the doll onto a bed with her legs hanging over the edge so you can finish removing the garment. If you are replacing with another garment that only goes to waist level, put it on over her feet (you may find it easier to tilt the feet forward to aid getting garment on and off), then slide as high as you can preferable past her knees.
You'll find all this easier if she is wearing tights, or like Kim a full body stocking.
For shorts or a light skirt you can lift her by the legs so her bum is clear of the bed, and pull the garment up the rest of the way. If they are more difficult like tight trousers (or a long dress), then you need to stand your doll up against the wall again to finish pulling the garment up. That's the bottom half sorted.
For the top I generally have her stood, if the garment goes over her head I tend to remove the head completely. It makes it so much easier, and there is less chance of damaging eyelashes, straining the neck or tangling hair etc.
To remove a garment, pull the dolls arms out in front of her (like a zombie), then pull garment up under her arms, over the top of her breasts as you want to make the garment as loose as possible fr the next bit. Gently left it over her neck from the back. There could be oil and grease near the metal screw shaft that goes down into the neck, so try and lift garment well above it to keep it clean.
Once over the neck you can pull the garment down the length of her out stretched arms. To protect fingers I advise good quality socks over her hands before you start and even then take care pulling garment over her hands. Those are a vulnerable part of her and as you can see with Kim, so easy to break as a new doll owner.
Reverse to put another top garment back on. Guide hands through sleeves on both arms, slide up and then over the neck and down her back. I know I made that sound easy, it does get easier as you get more experienced, but some tighter garments can be.... difficult!
Long dresses might have to change the technique a little but be careful how high you lift the dolls arms, as strain can be put on the TPE/Silicon under the armpits if you lift her arms too high. Some people have experienced rips in the flesh in that area of their precious doll.
Dolls, where the head is permanently attached, you will have to bend the dolls head as forward as far as you can without straining her too much to get garment on and off. Some tighter garments might not be possible to get on.
Putting on shirts and jackets, stand doll frontwards against wall with her back towards you. Turn her head to help protect those eye lashes etc. I have used my sofa to stand willow for this shot.
