Sueding is a term used for adding actual suede pieces to the inner joints of bjds. The purpose is to allow the doll to pose more better, as suede adds friction for the limbs to hold their positions more efficiently. Other methods may include adding wiring to the doll to hold more extreme poses.


Items required for sueding:

  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Suede pieces


Pros:

  • Decent for most poses and in some cases more extreme poses (depending on the doll)
  • When the pieces are shaped right, you won't see the suede, at all
  • Is not harsh on the resin
  • Fairly easy to apply, when the doll is unstrung

Cons:

  • Depending on the suede color, it may discolor the resin
  • Depending on the glue used, it may or may not be easy for future removal
  • Does not help with more extreme poses on most dolls
  • If not done properly or have the proper thickness, the joints can look more separate or the suede can be seen
