Dollieh Sanctuary

Yeah that picture is just for your veiwing pleasure even though it does point out some places of staining...

Yeah. Feng got some bad staining. It was that wretched loli dress she was wearing! I even color fasted it because I knew if I didn't it would stain badly but it still stained...badly. She is trying to undergo treatment , the usual acne cream in sunlight technique, but here where I live, even though it is summer there are like NO full days of pure sunlight. There are days when I see some sunlight, rip off Feng's clothes and put her right in the sun, but then the clouds cover it right up. Don't get me wrong, I HATE the heat. I like the place I live and I love all the cool rain, but for Feng's sake it isn't too good. Is there any way the treatment can take full effect INside? If it helps, she has red staining on her lower abdomen and a little under her boobs (she has really big boobs ). She has black/gray staining on her armpits.

Aw...I don;'t like what happened to her but I like your illustration. You should do more. I like the style and expressiveness

Yeah, it really sucks eggs but thanks. Some of it came out but most of it is still there.

Twin Pines should save her. :3

Unfortunately, staining comes with owning vinyl dolls. The best way to prevent it would be to completely avoid putting them in dark fabrics, especially black or red. You could also line the outfits with some white fabric or make a bodysuit to protect the vinyl.

Hate to break it to you... no amount of color fastness will keep an obitsu from staining. I swear Omi could stain in a pure white outfit! Your best bet really is to line with white fabric or make a body suit out of a pair of tights. When I got my 1/6 I knew she would always be in black and just made the body suit first thing.

Sad to say I knew that color fasting couldn't fix it, but I have no idea how to make a body stocking that small! I have one for my large vinyl doll but.... she's pretty large. Got any tips on how to make one?

I just put them in the tights, all the way down to the foot, and pin the fabric tight around them, then I pull the doll out, sew where I pinned, clip the excess, and then I usually use velcro or something like that to close it over the shoulders. If you don't want the feet inside the suit, you can cut the ends and hem them by hand.

GENIUS! I need to buy more stockings. The only stockings I have are black and that'll make thing worse. O_o

0_0 I love that idea! but I have a question what if said character is wearing a belly shirt?
and just so I'm not getting off topic thats so sad what happened to your doll! if I'm unsure if it will stain or not I put my dolls in something they have been in before that won't stain for when I'm not taking pictures or playing with them
