Doll undergarments a necessity?

Dec 1, 2016

    1. I made sure to get them for my doll so that I can put them on right away. As it happens my first doll comes with them on, so that makes me happy. I tend to be a very private person as it is... Although I'm fine with it if they are, I still prefer people to wear less revealing clothing... I get embarrassed easily, but I guess my mother raised me with a very old fashioned view on showing skin!xD I actually would prefer all of my dolls to have the so called angel bodies, because that's one side of the BJDs I prefer to ignore. So yes, always have underwear and I tend to keep it on them at all times, as I feel like I'm invading their privacy if they don't have them on.
       
    2. Mine doesn't have doll briefs or whatnot at the moment-
      Though I think it'd be nice to have since the button of his pants is somewhat scratching at the resin of his... lower abdomen, lmao- Just light scratches which I can deal with, so it's all cool for the meantime.
       
    3. Only one of my two dolls own a pair of underwear, and it kind of bugs me to see the other one without anything, as she's always in a dress or a skirt( ´∀`;)

      I don't think it would be that necessary if she were to wear shorts or pants, though.
       
    4. I personally would like to get/make some for my doll just because I think they're cute and adds a little bit to the realism. I also saw a lot of cute doll underwear when I was doing my research about the hobby and it kinda got stuck in my head how intricate and beautiful some of them are.
       
    5. I've never cared for it. These dolls are so small that I don't want to deal with the extra lumps and bulk that an extra layer of clothing would add. My dolls are always fully clothed, so I don't care to leave them in simply undergarments. The only exception I make for this are for my dolls that wear skirts/dresses. I haven't invested in underwear yet, but I do have plans to for at least them to get a pair as I don't like the accidental skirt flip-ups. Otherwise, it just seems really unnecessary to me.
       
    6. With dresses, yes. So help me, the first thing anyone does when looking over a doll is lift the skirt.:doh

    7. Underpants and socks are must-haves with my dolls, simply because I think it makes them look complete. It's always satisfying to roll up my boys' jeans and see their striped socks peeking out.

      For my girls undies are a must-have as well, but only if they're wearing a dress. I have a lot of short lolita-style dresses so I usually pair Chloe's panties with a pair of pink bloomers. As for brassieres, I don't need one for Chloe since she's flat-chested, and for the other two girls I probably won't bother unless I want to add an edgy vibe to one of their low-cut dresses. My girls also wear a lot of socks and tights, more for aesthetics than anything. As with my boys, it's nice to see that extra little detail peeping out from under their skirts and shoes.
       
    8. I would go for undies if a girl doll wears a dress or a skirt :D
       
    9. I really think it is a matter of personal preference. Of course, there is also the matter that if they are wearing pants, underwear may make the whole look more bulky. I definitely like underwear on dolls that wear skirts/dresses, because I think they would feel too exposed otherwise!
       
    10. I prefer having them and fortunately have a few that came as freebies when I bought other things. I get irritated at how much doll underwear costs :lol: but I've bought some anyway. Unless the character is someone who wouldn't wear underwear, I want to see them under tight pants or if clothes shift to show them.

      Recently I've noticed mild staining on a doll that wears dark clothes, so I'm considering buying body stockings for a couple of them.
       
    11. I don't think it would be necessary except to block staining. Like others have said it would make sense for girls if the skirts are short or something, or for any doll for aesthetic purposes. If you think about it though, if someone asks why your dolls aren't wearing underwear you can ask why they were looking in places that would need it! It's true BJDs are definitely more detailed than your average barbie, but they are still just dolls.
       
    12. I have several sets of lingerie for my 1/3 gals, but most of the time the clothing they wear does not look good with a bra, and I hate misplacing a set. I have also made them some lingerie sets myself, but for some reason, most of my dollies go commando. :lol:
       
    13. Wearing underwear is a must for me when my dolls are wearing dresses/skirts. I don't like being flashed by them and to me it looks better. I do plan to buy them some lingerie sets in the future.
       
    14. Me personally, prefer my bjd's to have them, I even plan getting them before I get the doll. OR is it just me, I'm weird :(
       
    15. depending on what I am doing and what my girls are wearing depends on if my girls wear panties or not. If my girls have loose pants or a skirt on yes but it they are wearing tight pants that wont fall down they will go commando.
       
    16. I've seen some really cute undies on Instagram for dolls, but don't think I"ll specifically make or buy them myself unless it's part of a set, or if I"m doing a doll up in a lingerie outfit for some reason. They're cute and very well made, but I would probably get frustrated putting them on heh
       
    17. I only used them for skirts and pants. And maybe if their nipples pop through their clothes, an undershirt too.
       
    18. Two of my girls have panties for when they're wearing dresses, because I swear whenever people from outside the hobby want to see my dolls, the first thing they do is look under the poor things' clothes. :doh They don't have bras at the moment though because nobody has ever gone as far as to remove all their clothing, and for most of their dresses it wouldn't look nice, so I haven't bothered to buy any yet. My other girl currently wears so many layers of clothing that I don't think anyone would bother to look under them, haha. If she ever gets something simpler to wear though, she's getting some panties as well. I usually remove their panties if I'm putting pants or shorts on them, because generally speaking panties make it harder to get the clothes on since they're so tight. I suppose they'd get to keep the panties if they had loose pants, though.

      I have no boys at the moment, but I'm always hearing about their pants causing people trouble and how they can't keep the pants closed when the doll is sitting, so if that's the case when I do get a boy, he might have to go commando as well, haha. I'll worry about that when the time comes.

      That said, I think there's some really cute lingerie sets out there that I kinda want to get for my girls eventually for photoshoots. :aheartbea
       
    19. Over half my dolls are mature tinies, and none of them are over 30cm tall. All the women have panties, but trying to have bras for them at that size seems ridiculous. It seems really awkward to have them wear a dress or skirt with nothing underneath it. Currently none of the men have underwear, but they wear pants.

      I do have a set of lingerie for one of my ladies, so maybe her boyfriend needs something too?;)
       
    20. When my girls are wearing skirts or dresses, I usually have them wear some underwear but other than that not really. I do like looking at lingerie for them though.
