Outfits that stain.

Thought we should have a thread for this, so people know. Here's my entry:

 

Beatrice's Uniform Set, from Kyoto Dolpa 8. The jacket is lined in black, and will stain your doll's wrists and hands (if you try to put it on with them attached). The striped socks also slightly discolored the Volks stocking I had on the doll, so they'll probably stain as well.

 

As far as I can figure it, the only "safe" part of this outfit is the shirt. The tie and vest are probably OK since they won't be worn on the bare doll, and the skirt and boots will probably be OK over a bodystocking and socks or whatever, but the jacket is a no-go unless you actually sew lining into it. (Which my GF will probably eventually do.)

EDIT:

 

Mario compiled a very nice list for us so I'm posting it here where people can see it and access it easily.

Here is his post with the list so far.

 

 

 

Alright guys, so I compiled an entire list of everyone's reports on outfits which stain.

(If anyone wants to make it into a spreadsheet that would be awesome, I'm too lazy to do one.

 

Remember, all experiences will be different. It can be affected by moisture, weather, and duration of wear. Just remember to have bodysuits to help minimize the staining.(Although some are monsters and will stain through the bodysuit.)

It's so sad to hear that a company who makes high priced outfits for their high priced dolls doesn't work harder at finding safer fabrics to use. It's not like it's impossible to find dark fabric that isn't colorfast. At the very least white lining on anything but a white outfit should be included.

 

I'm actually working on trying to make a cute pair of black spandex shorts I got for my girls safe. I soaked it for about 24 hours in water but not safe yet.

 

One tip I can suggest for people with clothes they are unsure about.... buy a spare set of shins the next time you shop at volks:

 

http://www.volksusa.com/ddop0021.html

 

I did this and I use them to test fabric. After I soaked the shorts I put them around a shin and put a rubber band around them. 8 hours later I checked and had some slight stains.... Back to treating it again.

 

I can give the shin a stain treatment now to use again. I like this as it keeps my girls safe while I test an outfit I'm unsure about. I'd rather have the spare part being treated than my girls.

 

 

This is the outfit (shorts) from Dollmore that stains:

This red santa outfit from Leekeworld is very evil:

Thankfully I've been very lucky with other outfits.

That's a really great idea James! Spare parts as stain testers makes lot of sense. I just got a spare M-bust in a bunch of clothes I bought so maybe I can do the same thing with it.

 

Thanks for that info and idea.

 

I love that yellow top and black shorts set. When you get around to putting it on someone, I'd love to see how it looks with an L-bust girl.

Glad you like the idea. I'll be sure to post pics once it's safe. I'm trying something new now that I read in a book. Soaking in some lightly salted water... Next try is vinegar.

 

**James

With the prices Volks charges for their outfits, you'd think they could line them better or at least find non staining fabrics. But hey, that's what their little disclaimers are for right?

Billy

 

That's what I find so stupid with this Beato one. They went through all the effort and cost of lining the jacket, but chose to do it in a fabric that stained! It'd be more understandable if it just wasn't lined, but why bother doing it at all, when they're gonna line it in black?

 

I bet this is exactly the same material as the Maid Saber, by the way. Identical stains, and they happened literally as soon as the fabric touched the doll.

Wow, that's insane! I had no idea it was so fast! Sorry to hear that happened to yours. I hope it comes out for you.

 

I want to know who is letting these pass QC checks. They need to be beaten with a wet carp.

I've had good luck with vinegar soaks, but haven't tested them with DD. I sew with mostly quilting cottons so they are not prone to staining anyway, but some of the elastic laces and trims are awful.

 

There are also chemicals designed to set dyes, used mostly for batik and tie-dye. That might do the trick for stubborn stainers.

From what I've read from dye chemists, vinegar won't do much to improve color fastness, but can reduce light fastness, meaning if you soak stuff in vinegar it will fade faster when exposed to light.

 

I'll add to the list of outfits that stain.

 

Volks Moe Goth Outfit - tops of the stockings stained black right through the Volks body stocking.

 

Volks Saber Default Outfit (blue dress) - Left stains after only being on for a few minutes.

Any feedback on Beato's stock outfit? Seems like that one has the potential to stain too. I don't plan on leaving her in it for very long at a time though anyway.

 

*lays out white dress*

The stock outfit is lined in white, head to toe. That includes a white lining on the red underskirt, and a white petticoat below that. Even her collar piece is lined. I had it on her for two days with no sign of staining. Volks actually did an amazing job making that outfit wearable.

I'm going to necro this thread a little and contribute a little as well.

 

Does anyone know how the Saber Maid outfit stains? I'm not sure if I have the original or the re-release since I bought it off YJA a while ago. I've been afraid to put it on. I've washed it once already but I hear it will still stain after three washes.

 

Can someone tell me what parts of the outfit makes the stains so I can add extra prevention? Thanks.

 

Here is my contribution:

 

MDD "Little Busters!" Uniform Set

http://www.volksusa.com/kyoto8kudryavkauniform.html

 

The jacket from this outfit will insta-stain your girls. I ran Kudo's arm into this to wear and she was stained instantly, it is not lined and it is not safe at all!

Nanami's default outfit - the panties stain like a mo-fo

 

The pink panties themselves are ok, but the blue~ish elastic waistband left a hella stain on my girl from just a few hours

this is a pretty gut ide:

Sakuya gloves stain: her dress/armcovers/thigh high do not stain.

saber lily: the brown stitching stains

rise: the stitching on her socks and the complete jacket stain

 

alice maid dress is safe

morikawa yuki casual set. skirt is safe

niimi haruka default outfit is safe

I think that it would be really useful to have a list of all the outfits in the first post and then if people want to know more about that particular outfits dangerous areas they can browse the thread

I added a couple myself,

Rina's default outfit as her skirt stains

Magical peach set as the skirt stains

Rina's default outfit as her skirt stains

 

Her skirt only???????????

 

Don't you mean all the black pieces that come with her default set? When mine arrived wearing her default outfit I seen no damage caused by the skirt. All the staining on her was where the black pieces of the outfit were touching her. The worst of the damage being caused from the black halter top and thigh highs.

 

I'll add this: Retro Cardigan Set ~ http://www.volksusa.com/oflpp20120402.html

 

The thigh highs were the trouble makers for me turning the feet a lovely shade of maroon. >.<

 

And this one: Retro Poncho Set ~ http://www.volksusa.com/oflpp20120403.html

 

I don't own the retro poncho set, but I've heard the pants in that set are instant stain monsters.

Ah I forgot about the black bits as I never used them, her skirt stained my girls legs :/

I see, I guess I got lucky with no staining of the skirt just lots of horrible staining from the black pieces.

 

If it had been up to me she never would have had those black pieces on, but that is how she came shipped to me. Oh well what's done is done, what's most important is that my Rina is doing better than ever now. Just a shame her default outfit has to be such a stain monster.

This cute set from Alice's Collections left a small stain on my doll's stomach area, will make sure to have her wear an underskirt with it from now on:

 

http://www.alicescollections.com/g080-p-240.html?cPath=3_28

 

Luckily it was easy to clean, a few doses of acne medicine did the trick.

The red straps of the original release Alna's outfit will stain.

The black bands on Nanoha's default stockings stain. Not badly, only where the seams in the stockings are, but they do. The rest of her gear is completely safe, even her wig. The only other stainer I've got is something I made, in a fabric I will definitely never use again.

 

The Lady Vampire set is safe, btw. Haven't checked the effects of Evening Waltz Peacock Blue yet, but cursory examination is promising.

Sometimes I call "Saber Maid outfit" => "Instantly Stainer Outfit" T_T

 

washing it with water and lemons before let dolls wears it not help.

Rina Ogata's default black outfit and Sakura Shinguji's default black wig stain.

The first release high-heel loafers will stain through socks, after a few days:

http://www.volksusa.com/sdsd16g040.html

 

Anybody know if Moe's summer uniform shoes will stain? I'm afraid to try them now

http://www.volksusa.com/ofkor20111103.html

Akira's Kitty Magician Set - shorts and socks will stain.

Magical Lucy Default - Black frilly armbands and the black skirt.

Emblem tshirt and jean set - jeans will stain but the stains seem to not get quickly absorbed by the vinyl... Noticed stains everywhere but running water washed them right off..

 

Beatos default won't stain... Had it on my dd white skin for days at a time and she never had a problem.
