Coming upon Hana, in the Morning Sunlight, in her new Kimono, I am beginning to understand why so many Folks love seeing their Ladies dressed in authentic Asian Attire…
I may be in serious trouble, with this lovely Lady…
Oh I totally get it and I actually did the opposite. Several years back I got a Realdoll. It was very heavy and cumbersome and I ended up having great difficulty moving her around and caring for her. That's why this time I decided to go with something I believe I can handle more easily. I may some day step up to one a little bigger. Get a big sister for this one perhaps? Standing feet sounds very practical for storage purposes so I could go that route in the future. Oh, and I am very much looking forward to meeting her myself. The kimono I ordered has already shipped so it'll be here ready for her arrival. I got a child's size 6. The research I did said that would be the right size for a 3'3" child and that's right at what the 100cm comes to.
Ha! Yes, she's petite for a reason. I'm not a young man anymore. I wanted to be sure she wouldn't be too heavy for me to properly care for her. I did find one I think will look very nice. I did a little research and I think I got a size that should work.
@Sailor4tune I understand entirely, regarding Doll Weight… Moving these Ladies around, completely clarifies what “Dead Weight” means, LoL. It’s why I generally stay with 145cm Dolls, and smaller…to stay at 60 lbs, or less…
I think most people Start out, with the 100cm Doll…to figure out if they’re even going to enjoy, the Whole Doll Experience… I call her the “Gateway” Doll… Because, once most Folks find out just how pleasurable She is, they usually are ready to order a larger Doll, pretty quickly, LoL…
The main drawback, in my opinion, to the Petite Size Dolls, is finding Clothes, that fit… Dressing my Ladies in different Outfits, is a big part of the enjoyment, for me…
Once you get to 135cm size, and larger, finding Clothes that fit, is a lot easier…because most Ladies Size Small fit them; XS really fits well., when you can find them…
The same thing with Shoes… The smallest Lady’s Size, 5…works well, with the 135cm size, and taller…
One other advantage, to the 135cm and taller Dolls, is having Standing capable Feet…. Which makes storing her, standing up, in the Closet, possible…
Just my two cents…. I am not trying to sell you anything. I have no stake in this, at all…
Only sharing what I have learned, with my Collection of Ladies…
I look forward to seeing pictures, of your Lady, in her new Kimono…if you choose to share them…
I have to agree with VermontDollLover, she is stunning. I have to admit she fits right into the mold of how I'm hoping my order looks when she arrives. I don't know your pretty lady's specs, but I ordered an Amanda w/head #C22. I think I'm going to have to browse Amazon and see if I can find that Kimono. It's gorgeous on your little lady!
@Sailor4tune Thank you! Hana is the Anastasia Doll, with the 145cm Large Breast Body…
Your Choice, the Amanda Doll with SD Head C-22, is a pretty Doll…but, She is rather petite. I don’t remember if The Kimono I bought off Amazon, comes in an extra Small size…but, good luck, in your search for one for your Lady!

Okay, arriving to this forum late, and new to the doll lovers community, I must say, your doll is absolutely stunning.
I can't do Amazon
That's is so cool I like that
