Learn how to properly fit and care for a Gordis doll raincoat, including the yellow ciré jacket, with step-by-step maintenance tips for long-lasting use.

Quick answer

For a secure fit on your Gordis 34 or 37 cm doll, choose a Clotaire raincoat like the Ciré jaune; then follow the care steps below to preserve its glossy coated surface and exclusive fabric pattern.

Why fit matters for doll raincoats

Unlike stretchy fabrics, a coated ciré raincoat has minimal give. A raincoat that is too tight may restrict the doll's arms or cause the coating to crack; one that is too loose can slide off during play. The Ciré jaune is specifically tailored for Minikane Gordis dolls in sizes 34 and 37 cm, so checking your doll's height first saves frustration.

When replacing or storing the raincoat

The glossy coating on ciré raincoats can stick to itself or other PVC materials over time. Avoid long-term contact with plastic doll accessories or storage bags made of the same material. Use a breathable cotton pouch or simply fold the coat loosely on a shelf. This prevents the coating from becoming tacky or leaving marks.

Caring for your Gordis raincoat

Check doll height & fit: Measure your Gordis doll from head to toe before each use. The Ciré jaune fits 34 and 37 cm dolls. If the doll is outside this range, the raincoat may be too tight or loose. Only use the raincoat on Gordis 34 or 37 cm dolls for a proper fit.
Put on with care: Slide the arms through one at a time. Do not pull the coat over the head – unbutton or open the front fasteners first. This prevents stretching the collar or tearing the coating near the seams. Always open fasteners before dressing to avoid coating damage.
Clean gently: Wipe dirt or stains with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap. Do not rub vigorously, as the coated surface can scratch. Avoid machine washing, soaking, and harsh detergents. Spot clean only; never machine wash or soak the coat.
Dry flat away from heat: After cleaning, lay the raincoat flat on a towel in a cool, shaded area. Keep it away from radiators, direct sunlight, and tumble dryers – heat can cause the coating to peel or become brittle. Air-dry only; no heat sources.
Store properly between uses: Fold loosely with the coated side facing outward, or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the raincoat. Place in a breathable bag if storing long-term. Store in a cool, dry place with space to breathe.
