It's quite hard to tell from the picture. But I have not been manhandling my doll. She simply slept in a black shirt for a week or two. The shirt did pass the TPE test, it didn't stain it at all - which of course makes me question everything about the TPE test piece experiment. It's not an exact science, I knew that much. But I didn't think it would be this wrong. Take a look at the picture of poor Booberella.
The shirt she was sleeping in, was pressed against her body along her side, since she was sleeping in the spooning position. So only her right side were stained. I didn't remove her shirt at all during the last two weeks or so. I didn't notice these horrible stains until I took her shirt off for shower time. This is by far the worst case of staining that I have had on either of my dolls. I am quite certain that these stains will go away over time, but the stain on her shoulder for example, is really thick and will probably take months to go away. These photos were taken today, 2017-09-10. I will be keeping a close eye on her and make updates on the blog about her recovery.
This is the shirt that stained her:
I can of course no longer recommend this shirt, unless you use it only for photography or something. I have learned my lesson: Never let them sleep in black clothes again. Amazingly enough though, she was wearing those black leggings the entire time too, sleeping in them, having them pressed up against her hips etc - they did not stain at all. Go figure.
