The selection of clothing available for one's Bimbo has been expanding, recently. Some new clothing items appear when progressing through different levels, but additionally some new items have been added to the first level.




When I first joined, the clothing selection was limited, and definitely favoured visible flesh. And, if you take a look at the olive-covered crop top above, you will note that the grey preview doll has, suddenly, flesh-coloured side-boob. Some clothing items, such as this top, will have a fleshed out section in the cleavage to ensure that, even if you do put underwear on your Bimbo, it will look like she isn't wearing a bra. I can see how this would matter with clashing underwear. However, since the only underwear choices for purchase up as far as level 2 are a sexy pink corset with suspenders, or lacy, impractical bra-and-pantie sets, with no buyable plain underwear, there really is no choice but to wear a clashing bra.
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with nudity, with revealing clothes, or sexuality. What I do have a problem with is when dressing in a revealing manner, or dressing in a modest manner, is the only choice. At first, the choice of trousers was plain jeans or mid-calf leggings. There were, however, well over a dozen skirts to choose from, all but two of which barely skimmed the top of the thigh. All of the tops available shower stomach, or cleavage, or both. There were only 3-4 flat shoes or traines, with the rest being high heeled shoes and boots, and the "coats" were all smaller than the tops, therefore only being wearable alone.
There are still plenty of revealing items, but the key point is that a girl dressing up her bimbo can nowchoose whether to dress her in revealing clothes or comfortable clothes. The range of clothing has expanded to include comfortable, practical clothes and cute, but not sexy clothes as well.






Since the clothes can be layered, a Bimbo can wear leggings with a skirt over the top, a short dress over trouser tunic-style, or can just walk around n underwear and high heels. Accessories exist, and there is now a wider range of flat shoes available. To indicate this, and how the items come together, I have arranged a selection of outfits for my Bimbo.




The two dressier outfits are complete sets. There are cheap, 1dollar items called "Kawinou's necklace" or "Kawinou's garter" and "Bettyboune's skirt". The complete set of each results in some gothic, but slightly over-revealing, outfits. They also look more than a little uncomfortable and chilly to wear, but that might just be me.
Overall, then, the clothing is improving, albeit the range of revealing items is still larger. It is still easier and, in some cases, cheaper to dress a Bimbo up like she's about to star in a porn film than like she's on her way to the gym, with some items costing 4-500 dollars, or even 1000 dollars or more, an impossible sum for a beginner unless she wants to go to the bank and exchange real cash for virtual money.

I am curious, having read Jgoreham's reviews to date, about the skin colour-changing thing. As stated in an earlier post, I was given no choice of skin colour for my Bimbo, although I have seen darker skinned ones on the website. With the use of a "scouring" bed and a "tanning" bed, and based on Jgoreham's mention of the need to "get paler skin", is that all the skin variation comes down to? If so, that is more than a little troubling. If anyone has more experience in this, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll save up my Bimbo dollars and see what half a dozen consecutive tanning sessions will do. The idea that skin colour and, consequently, ethnicity, is reduced in game to a cosmetic choice, well... I honestly am not sure how to even start responding to that.
