Depends on the clothing but...I'll probably always do so either way. It will feel less awkward because...well...just the thought about it in real life...(I dont like wearing stuff without underwear lol...)....you know where Im getting? ;w; It'll be a good practice/habit too. ^^
What an amusing topic . I would like my dolls to wear underwear when possible, but they can bulk up in the outfit depending on the clothes. Also, the undergarments are going to be mostly unseen anyway other than a few examples like sheer shirts showing a cute tank top or something.
Depends on the outfit, but mostly my dolls' underwear is just there so they have something to wear when otherwise they might be completely naked.
If a doll is wearing a skirt or dress the doll gets underwear. If it's pants of shorts they go commando, because otherwise the clothing can get bulky. I have a full body suit that came with one of my dolls, but I don't use it. I don't really worry about staining, I've been able to scrub off any clothing stains so far with baking soda and magic eraser. I tend to wash or soak their clothes to try to get extra dye out before the dolls wear the clothes. I more put underwear on my girls in skirts and dresses because it feels weird without it.
All of my girl dolls have panties, because I like to put them in dresses and skirts and I don't like being accidentally flashed. If they're in pants, they usually don't need undies, and they add a lot of bulk.
I like giving them underwear, but it mostly depends on what they’re wearing. If I don’t find a need to buy it (if they’re wearing pants or something), then no, not really.
If a doll wears pantyhose I put them outside the pantyhose to prevent the crotch part of the hose from slipping down. Otherwise it's completely random if I use it or not
Yes! I personally feel self-conscious if I don't put any underwear on them - but it really depends on the owner because honestly, underwear can be optional both to dolls and humans.
I feel like underwear is cute and can add personality, but has its pros and cons. If one of my dolls is wearing pants, there usually is not enough space for underwear. Sometimes for my girls if they have a bra it helps hide their nipples, but sometimes the bra is too obvious through the dress, so I'll opt for no bra. I like panties for when dolls are wearing dresses, because it feels like a more completed look (and to prevent flashing, lol).
I used to put underwear on my dolls, but now I don't really care to. I do have them in a protective jumpsuit so they don't stain.
When my dolls are wearing dresses and skirts, I put undies on them so they don't flash anyone. But I don't usually bother under pants unless they're loose enough to fit them under there. I also tend to use light colors for doll panties, since I don't want to stain them.
All my dolls are displayed in a “sitting” position, which means all of the fabric of their clothing is especially pressed into one area - an absolute equation for color transfer. So they all wear underwear to protect the resin, even if no one will ever see it.
I was just wondering the same thing myself lol. For the first time yesterday, I put her leggings on without panties and they went on so much easier and it was easier to get the bunched up areas smoothed down too. It definitely changed my outlook; I'll save them for the skirts/dresses only going forward.
I used not to, but I always put dress on my Dolls so it quickly became a bit of a problem for me when I got my first doll with actual private parts lmao. I was so glad when I found my first pair of underwear for her !
I always put underwear on my dolls. I'm learning how to sew right now, and the first thing I sewed for my first doll was bloomers and socks. There's something so special and cozy to me about watching videos about historical clothing and learning about each layer of an outfit, so that same feeling has carried across to my doll hobby.
I usually do. It helps protect the resin from staining, and sometimes my doll's clothes can be a little sheer.
It depends on the outfit! But most of the time, if they can wear underwear without compromising the look of the outfit, they're getting underwear I find that it makes them feel more "realistic" to have those little details, even if you can't see it when the full outfit is assembled.
