Your doll's wardrobe: Empty or Bursting?

I have trouble deciding on what I want to get for my dolls, so my doll closet is very slim. I am however working on getting new things.

 

Do you get one default outfit for your doll and then move on to the next or do you buy several different outfits for your dolls?

I have several outfits for my doll.

(If you only have one) do your dolls ever feel boring? Do you lose interest in them because you don't spoil or customise them further with clothing?

Nope ! I like her because she is just perfect even if she would only wear undies But I do spoil her... She always changes her clothes and I make a lot of clothes so her wardrobe will be bursting in the near future hehe


Do you buy or not-buy intentionally?

If I buy sth for her it´s intentionally. But this is quite rare since I sew her clothes. So I only search for stuff which I wouldn´t sew myself.

 

My doll's wardrobe...

Let's just say I don't even think they have a wardrobe. Iplehouse EID dolls are really hard to find clothes for, at least for me. I have an issue with spending more for my doll, than for myself, but that's another matter. ^^

Do you get one default outfit for your doll and then move on to the next or do you buy several different outfits for your dolls?

-I dont get the default outfits at all. I have a particular style/idea in mind whenever I buy my dolls, so I just buy separately. Sometimes, I make my own outfits when I can't find the one I want. There's always customization!

(If you only have one) do your dolls ever feel boring? Do you lose interest in them because you don't spoil or customise them further with clothing?

-My dolls don't ever feel boring at all, even with a limited wardrobe. I use them as models for artworks sometimes, as well as characters in my writings. I change their faceups at times, whenever their character changes, that's fun too. As well as adding modifications, tattoos, scars, etc.

(If you have many) how many per doll? Are you biased towards one particular outfit or do you change them regularly? When do you have too many clothes?

-As I've stated before, when I started out, my dolls don't even have a wardrobe. I think it's just underwear for them. I have a few clothes lying about, and I am quite biased in one particular outfit. The same goes for my other dolls. They all have that one outfit they always wear. I think it's because it's the one that's in line with their character. I think you have too many clothes when you don't even know you have that clothing. Ex: "I don't even remember buying this." ^^

Do you buy or not-buy intentionally?

-I don't buy... Intentionally. I plan to sew clothes for my dolls, That way I can save up money, and hone my sewing skills. The only thing I buy are wigs and shoes. And some accessories as well.

 

Pretty empty, since I just started this hobby. That will slowly change, though.

 

The box that I use as my girl's wardrobe is bursting with clothes now, but I just see that as time to get a bigger box! Aside from one pair of jeans, I sewed all the clothes myself and i'm really enjoying making things for her so I won't be stopping :-)

 

My girls have a pretty empty wardrobe right now. Not for a lack of trying, though! Super Gem females are just hard to find things for, so I've been commissioning, which takes time of course. I expect a year from now, they will have a pretty sizable wardrobe.

Normally, several different outfits. I currently have 2 dolls that only have one each due to sizing difficulties.

No. I do wish I could change their clothes. I dress my dolls for the weather and I like a change of scenery, but the dolls themselves are still very relevant to me and I still find them beautiful and interesting. I become attached very easily and I have a strong sentiment toward my resin kids.


How many per doll? Are you biased towards one particular outfit or do you change them regularly? When do you have too many clothes?
The wardrobes will grow forever, but all of my dolls that have extra outfits have at least 3 full outfits with the ability to mix-and-match some of their stuff for a fresh look. I don't think you can have too many clothes. It's great to have a variety and you never know when you'll get another doll who might fit in clothes you've bought for another.


Do you buy or not-buy intentionally?
I do both. I don't make enough money to throw it around thoughtlessly, so I am a very careful buyer of clothes and I only ever buy what I intend to and I pass on what I can't afford or simply am not interested in.

It always varies, I will seek out default/fullset outfits if I like them but not as a rule. I will also buy several other outfits, sometimes even before my doll has arrived.

(If you have many) how many per doll? Are you biased towards one particular outfit or do you change them regularly? When do you have too many clothes?

I have many outfits that I use on multiple of my dolls. I definitely consider myself a BJD parts and accessories collector as much as a doll one.
I am not biased per-say, I do have clothes I prefer but I love all the outfits I have. I change their clothes constantly, it's a great way to enjoy my dolls.

I have no qualms about purchasing internationally.

I buy tons of clothes for my dolls. Most of mine wear the same size so it's easy to use the same items among them. My bigger dolls are going to be display dolls so I'm currently working on getting custom outfits for them. Once they have those it's unlikely I'll dress them up further since I have my tinies to play with.

Oh geez, Um I would say that maybe I have at least 5 full outfits for each doll.

I'll be honest most of mine come from Asia. About 90% the clothes I've bought from the US have ended up arriving damaged or a completely different product than what was advertised. American sellers aren't as consistent as their Asian counterparts as far as my experience goes. I like European sellers too but the shipping prices are steeper.

My girl will have several outfits. I only have one so she will definitely be spoiled.

Does your doll ever get boring? Do you lose interest in it/her/him because you don't spoil or customize them further with clothing?

Right now, my girl is off getting a face-up plus she's new, so it does feel a bit boring since I really don't have anything planned out for her just yet. I would buy her more things but at the moment all of my favorite places to buy clothes from are closed and hard to reach. ~-~


Do you buy or not-buy intentionally?

I try to keep buying doll things domestic, just because I like low shipping costs. :P As much as I may like it, I probably won't buy it unless I'm in a group order or something.

One outfit per doll, period. All of my dolls are hard to dress, so once I have their outfit complete, they are finished.

No, never. I'm just satisfied at getting them dressed!

Do you buy or not buy intentionally?
I try not to buy clothes as I don't have the extra funds to 'make mistakes', i.e.: not have the clothing fit even though I triple checked size. I have learned to make my own.

 

I did get the outfit with the doll. But most of the clothes my doll has, are hand made. My dolls wardrobe is huge!

 

There are now three full dresser drawers of my dolls' clothes. They are spoiled.

 

Cissy has a small bag of clothes, most of which I made, and a singular pair of shoes...

Have a bunch of things bought for planned dolls that are just collecting dust until then... Mostly rainbow things for Pan...


Aaaand Yune has literally nothing... like he is wearing MY clothes right now so he can not be naked. Poor guy. It's kinda cute though :3

Very tricky question for me to answer. My anthro bjds who even though have their own stories and personalities are rolls i.e. princess, dragon handler, soccer have each only one outfit even though I would consider a new outfit should i find one more fitting. My only human bjd Amy (tiny delf dorothy) has a full box of clothes… they all suite her personality but as she has no defined role she has no designated outfit… I spend more money on her clothes then I do on mine lol. I think part of the problem is also finding clothes that I like that would fit Zuzus and Dearpets… kind of hard to shop for at times.

(If you only have one) do your dolls feel boring? Do you lose interest in them because you do not spoil or customise them further with clothing?

Even though I would like more clothes for my anthros it is something I can put up with. I do not think I find them any more boring or anything like that… I do have fun spoiling Amy though and buying her outfits and dressing her.

(if you have many) how many per doll? Are you biased towards one particular outfit or do you change them regularly? When do you have too many clothes?

My 4 anthros (one is on it's way) have one outfit each. Amy has 9 outfits so far even though I still need to shop for her autumn winter wardrobe.

- One school out fit (white blouse, blue skirt and pink cardigan)
- 4 casual summer dresses
- 1 party dress
- 2 sunday dresses (for the summer)
- 1 casual winter dress
- 2 long socks
- 1 black buckle shoes.

I do have a bit of a preference for her sunday dresses in the weekend and school outfit during the week so I do feel slightly guilty she has not worn any of her more casual items yet… As for a question I think it would need to get to the stage that I would need a full human sized wardrobe to fit all my doll clothes for me to realise there is a problem lol

Do you buy or not buy intentionally?

I buy very intentionally with a list of items clothing I think my doll will need for that season. I kind of go from what I usually would want my own child to have to wear and start there.

 

will be bursting once I received the clothes. I think I spend too much!

I haven't bought any default outfits. I make all their clothes, except for gifts from others. And shoes. I'm bad at shoes. And jewelry. My sister makes them jewelry.

I think you're right there. I got two dolls that I got no stuff for and I ended up eventually selling them. Poor things didn't even get names.

I don't remember how much clothing I've made for who. I think Amiga's in the lead for daywear, but a couple of my OT dolls have more holiday clothes. Amiga needs a Halloween costume, and a winter holiday dress, and something fun for Easter, and something for Independence Day...

Do you buy or not-buy intentionally?
I do take pride in seeing my dolls' beautiful handmade clothes on.

I feel like just one outfit would be boring though I wouldn't mind a default outfit for my girl to lounge around in on a daily basis xD I typically tend to let her stay in one outfit for around a week or so, and then change it. This will probably change when she gets more clothes, though.

(If you have many) how many per doll? Are you biased towards one particular outfit or do you change them regularly? When do you have too many clothes?
I view doll clothes in the same way I view my clothes--YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH currently I don't have a favorite outfit for Astrid but I think that'll change once I get her new clothes, and I figure that'll be the same for my second doll whenever I finally get him.

Do you buy or not-buy intentionally?
I have yet to buy any clothes for my dolls (all of them are handmade) but when I do buy things for them it is usually a planned purchase--a very involved one that usually entails several hours of me rethinking individual pieces to make sure I get the most use out of them for the price, and many recalculations and estimations with shipping costs later.

 

Almost all of my dolls have odd bodies so it's hard to find clothes for them - so I make them myself. I've made a simple dress for each doll. I'm planning on getting more clothes for them (that I didn't make) - but I can only do that if I stop buying more dolls.

 

My one Yo-SD has a wardrobe filled to bursting!

My 8 RealPukis however... They have like 3 outfits between them all.
