Bikini Lines
This upgrade adds bikini lines to your doll's body. As if she'd been sunbathing in a swimsuit. The lines are painted on at the final production stage, so they can't be washed off afterwards.
The base skin tone itself stays unchanged. All the white stripes (the swimsuit marks) are applied on top of the doll's material. So, like any paintwork, they can wear away over time. This is worth bearing in mind when choosing this option.
How it works
The base skin tone itself stays unchanged. All the light stripes (the swimsuit marks) are applied on top of the doll's material. So, like any paintwork, they can wear away over time. This is worth bearing in mind when choosing this option.
The shape of the "swimsuit" is set by the factory's template. It's usually not possible to choose your own line shape (to match a specific underwear style, for example).
Not for light skin tones
Tan lines only make sense on dolls with darker skin tones. The lines themselves are done in a light tone, and the whole effect relies on the contrast between "tanned" skin and "untanned" areas. On a doll with light skin, there's no contrast, and the lines end up practically invisible. If your doll has a light skin tone, this option is completely pointless.
From our experience, this option is executed unsatisfactorily in the vast majority of cases. When ordering this option, you should be prepared for repeated changes, and for the possibility that you may not be happy with the final result. So we strongly advise against ordering this upgrade.
