    Do You Dress For Comfort Or Femme?

    When you dress, do you dress for comfort, still looking feminine but comfortably so or do you dress to look as feminine as you can even it it means corsets squeezing you like a packed sausage, tucking even if it hurts and/or other feminization methods that are uncomfortable?

    I had to pick 3, because lets face it....as sexy as a bra is by the end of the night it's rather uncomfortable. And heels are wonderful but they can make the feet ache after awhile. I even plucked a few hairs out of my brows today....that was a tad painful.

    Wouldn't have it any other way though!

    How can I say this, comfort IS fem. I don't like anything rough feeling or looking. So it's a matter of both for me.

    For everyday wear, I dress for comfort, although I do try to look as well as possible. I just don't bother with foundation garments any longer (especially in warmer months) and wear only as much make-up as I feel is necessary (no wise cracks are needed here from you other girls ). Tucking is standard, however. Some discomfort is mandatory!

    Have to look as fem as possible. Gave gone through significane pain in the past with permanent abrasions under my "breasts" from tape holding on enhancements and tucking and holding down my "c***y". But as with many GG's, I'm sure, the look is the thing. Sexy and attractive is the target inage. Totlly hairless below thre neck, up on the toes for hours. Gosh women do suffer but, yes, it is worth it.

    Yes, I dress to look as feminine as possible - so I wear a girdle to trim my waist, I pad my hips and my bum and I bind my chest and, if necessary, use tape to improve the cleavage. Sometimes - even if I'm not wearing lower cut tops - just so I look female standing in my bra. I have a thing about achieving the hour glass type female figure.

    However there is a limit? - during the summer after a few days of using only the tape and walking quite long distances in the heat my skin blistered badly under my arms and it took some weeks to heal up - so I started looking for less painful alternatives.

    I prefer to wear stiletto heels but usually 2.5 or 3 inch which I can walk quickly in - not 4 or 5 inch heels which are more teetering mode - which is ultra feminine but not practical.

    I dress for comfort and relaxation in as femme mode as I can get. I must say, though, I have never had a bra that I have found uncomfortable regardless of how long I have had it on and lately I taken to wearing one most days.

    Just realized I never answered my own question...

    I dress for comfort. I used to wear hip and butt padding and a waist cincher and other shape forming foundations. Sure, I looked more female but I was so uncomfortable! Then I met Jacki at Be-All who was just Jacki. The only enhancement she wore was breast forms. She looked great w/o all that stuff. So I figured why not? I've never regretted it. I later discovered the beauty of NuBra forms and burned my bra. Now I was in heaven!

    Now I find myself perfectly content with skorts or skirt and a casual cotton top. It takes me about three minutes to get dressed. I'm just happier wearing casual clothing anyway.

    If I were a GG I doubt I'd dress any differently.

    Smile Dress for comfort

    I dress for comfort. Usually just a bra, panties, camisole top and short skirt, or sundress. No make up during the hot weather. The skimmper the clothes the better I feel during this hot weather.

    Well, my ex always said that women were at their most uncomfortable when they looked their most attractive, so i selected option 3.

    I will put up with a little discomfort in order to enhance my overall image, however i won't take it to extremes especially if its for an extended period of time.

    dressed for comfort...BUT...

    Unfortunately what each individual does or doesn't do...is perceived by others, and generates consequences...so the presented image is always of importance (IMO).

    If I'm alone, sandals, sarong covers and loose unisex halters with hair up is my comfort target...

    In a CD public situation or CD social interaction my target becomes "dress to pass"...partly for image effect, and partly for safety.
