Quick answer

Start by laying the Reverie PJs flat, then guide your Dinkum Doll's arms and legs into the one-piece suit, and fasten the back opening. This keeps the soft cotton print aligned and prevents snagging.

Why the Reverie PJs are a good choice for bedtime play

The Reverie PJs are made from soft cotton with a floral ditsy print, designed to fit Dinkum Dolls comfortably. The one-piece style means fewer small pieces to manage during dress-up, making it easier for little hands to handle. It also pairs with Binky Moppet for a complete bedtime set, so you can coordinate doll and accessory for a cozy play routine.

Step-by-step guide to dressing your Dinkum Doll in the Reverie PJs

  1. Step 1: Lay the PJs flat and open the back fastening: Place the Reverie PJs on a flat surface with the back facing up. Unfasten any buttons or snaps along the back opening so the suit lies open like a blanket. This makes it easier to position the doll without stretching the fabric. Check that all fasteners are fully undone before you start; forcing a half-open suit can tear the seam.
  2. Step 2: Position your Dinkum Doll face-down on the PJs: Lay your Dinkum Doll face-down on top of the open PJs, aligning the doll's shoulders with the shoulder seams of the suit. The legs should line up with the leg openings. This ensures the print stays centered and the suit isn't twisted. If the doll's arms or legs are stiff, gently bend them at the joints rather than pulling the fabric over them.
  3. Step 3: Guide the doll's arms and legs into the suit: Starting with one arm, slide the doll's hand through the sleeve from the inside, then repeat with the other arm. Do the same for the legs, pushing each foot through the leg opening. Use your fingers to smooth the fabric along the limbs so there are no bunches. Common mistake: pulling the sleeve instead of the doll's arm can stretch the cotton out of shape. Always move the doll's limb, not the fabric.
  4. Step 4: Fasten the back opening securely: Once both arms and legs are inside, turn the doll over so the back is facing you. Close the back fasteners (snaps or buttons) from the neck down to the bottom. Make sure each fastener is fully engaged so the suit stays closed during play. Skip a fastener and the suit may gap or slip off; double-check each one, especially the top and bottom.
  5. Step 5: Adjust the fit and smooth the fabric: After fastening, gently tug the suit at the shoulders and hips to ensure it sits evenly. Smooth any wrinkles around the arms and legs. The Reverie PJs should fit snugly but not tight, allowing the doll to sit or lie down naturally. If the suit feels too loose, the back fasteners may need re-snapping; if too tight, check that limbs aren't caught in a seam.
