AliceAlicaArisu Posted January 18, 2016 Hello there! I am very new to this hobby (and am without my first DD as of yet) but I decided to finally take the plunge and learn all I can to be able to have my own ^ - ^ I come from the world of resin BJDs and am a little nervous about dark/stain-causing clothing being the biggest enemy of the doll over here rather than the sun! haha At the moment I am saving for a DDH-07 DDdy but I know so little and my choice is bound to change as I discover many more things I'm sure! - Alice ^ - ^ 💗 Waiting on DDH-29 💗 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghirahim Posted January 18, 2016 Hi Alice, My name is Alice as well, welcome to the hobby! I've just started out myself and I'm quite nervous about staining as well. I hope everything goes well for you ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eustia Posted January 18, 2016 Howdy. If you're already familiar with other dolls, it shouldn't be a huge jump for you to learn the ins and outs of DDs. Staining is fairly easy to manage, if you wash/treat the clothes so the dye doesn't leak, only make/buy lined clothes, or use body stockings. A mixture of all will definitely protect your girls from any unfortunate blemishes. The 07 is a lovely mature head, though it can be surprisingly youthful with the right faceup. It's a solid starting place. The Dy hips/thighs are fabulous, but I am really not a fan of their bust -- though my newest girl is a full Dy. I have two other Dy girls I replaced with standard L busts for a more natural shaped chest while maintaining the lovely waist. I hope you enjoy whatever you end up going with, either way!

Ah that sounds good, you do make it sound less horrific! Yes, I think I've solidly decided to go with 07 but body-wise I'm still considering other options (perhaps with less bust haha) Thank you very much! I'm very excited to start this DD "journey" of sorts 💗 Waiting on DDH-29 💗 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amber Posted January 25, 2016 Welcome to the forums! Staining scares me quite a bit, even now, but I prefer light colors so it works out for me. I can't wait to see your first girl when you get her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hime-Sama Posted February 21, 2016 Hello and welcome! ^_^ I'm pretty scared of staining, myself, so I'm going to take care to wash and rinse clothing well before I put it on, and try to only get lined clothing as a precaution. I wish you the best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
