Learn how to layer and care for the Nice Lace Top on a Smart Doll pear body. Follow these steps to avoid common mistakes and keep the lace looking its best.

Quick answer

Put the Nice Lace Top on before any outer layer, smooth the lace over the pear body’s belly without tugging, and store it flat or rolled with tissue to prevent snags. Always wash it separately by hand and never wring it out.

Why the pear body needs a different layering approach

The pear body has a fuller belly, so the Nice Lace Top is cut to cover it rather than stop above it. That extra coverage means the lace sits closer to the skin across the midsection, and any rough edge from an undergarment or outer layer can catch the openwork. Layer smooth, seam-free pieces underneath and choose outer garments with soft linings or no exposed hook-and-loop tape.

When to skip the lace top as a base layer

If you plan to put on a jacket or dress with a tight, unlined bodice, the lace may bunch or snag during dressing. In that case, wear the lace top as the outermost layer or choose a different top for that outfit. The Nice Lace Top works best when it is the visible layer or worn under something loose and smooth.

Step-by-step layering and care routine

Prepare the doll and underlayers: Dress the doll in a smooth, seam-free undergarment or no underlayer at all. Check that no hook-and-loop tape, snaps, or rough seams will touch the lace. Common mistake: leaving a textured bodysuit underneath, which can snag the lace as you pull the top on. Run a finger over the underlayer first; if it catches on your skin, it can catch on lace.
Put on the Nice Lace Top first: Slide the top over the doll’s head and arms before adding any outer garment. Guide the hem down over the belly without stretching the lace. Common mistake: pulling the top down by the lace edges, which can distort the pattern. Hold the top by the shoulder seams, not the lace, when adjusting.
Smooth the lace across the belly: Gently pat the lace flat over the pear body’s belly, working from the center outward. Avoid tugging downward. Common mistake: pulling the hem to remove wrinkles, which can stretch the lace out of shape. If wrinkles persist, the underlayer may be bunched; smooth that first.
Add outer layers with care: Choose outer garments with smooth linings or no exposed fasteners. When dressing, roll the outer garment and guide it over the lace rather than pulling it down. Common mistake: forcing a tight, unlined jacket over the lace, which can cause snags. If the outer layer has hook-and-loop tape, fasten it before it touches the lace.
Remove the top before outer layers: Undress by taking off outer garments first, then the lace top. Slide the top up and over the head rather than pulling it down. Common mistake: removing the lace top last while outer layers are still on, which increases friction. Unfasten any closures on outer layers before sliding them off.
Hand wash separately and never wring: Wash the lace top alone in cool water with a mild detergent. Gently press the water out with a towel; never wring or twist. Common mistake: machine washing or wringing, which can tear the lace or distort the fit. If the lace feels stiff after washing, rinse again with a little white vinegar in cool water.
Store flat or rolled with tissue: Lay the top flat in a drawer or roll it loosely with acid-free tissue paper. Keep it away from rough surfaces or hooks. Common mistake: hanging the lace top, which can stretch the shoulders over time. Store the top separately from items with zippers or hook-and-loop tape.
