Are there items of clothing which can actually damage the doll?
Dark clothing which is dyed with low quality dyes can stain the silicone if the doll is stored with these items on for great periods of time. As a precaution, wash all dark and vibrant colored clothes before putting them on your doll. Very tight or binding straps left on your doll over an extended period of time can form dents in her flesh, much the way it does on a live person; Unlike a real person’s flesh, however, the silicone can lose shape memory. In other words, it’s fine to dress your doll in tight straps, etc., but don’t store her in these types of clothing for extended periods of time.
