    I dont know if expensive makeup is the way to start. Start with cheap stuff until you get the look you like. Plus thrift store has great clothes for a reduced price.

    Wear Sexy Feminine Lingerie. (If You Want to, that is.)

    Wearing sexy lingerie is a way real GG's find confidence in themselves. The same holds true with CD's. It makes you feel more like a Real Lady.

    What you want today may not be what you want 5 years or even 10 years from now.

    That was some sage advice that I got one night.

    look at what real girls wear and try not to overdo it. Sometimes less is more.

    definitely. going more on experience of others than myself, one of the things thats apparant is one of the biggest problems a wife/girlfriend has when they find out is the thought of the deceit. theres no guarantee they'll be ok about the crossdressing but even if they are they are likely to still feel betrayed and angry if youve taken years to tell them.

    My one piece of sage advice would be to find a friend or mentor. Kindred spirits always do better than one all alone.
    Inside every good man, there is a good woman.

    Don't let being tall and wide discourage you -- plus sizes abound!

    The clothes you like the most may not be the ones that look the best on you. Dress, take pictures study them to see how you look. If anyone else knows about this side of you ask them about what looks best on your body type. There are some web sites where they discuss what type of clothing looks proper on certain woman's body types. Perhaps they can help you find a look for yourself.

    Great thread!

    I'm not an experienced CD per-se, but I do have one thing to add...

    There is plenty of things in this world to fear. But don't waste time and energy being afraid of yourself and your desires.

    My number one advice is "meet and know, and make friends with a transgender person, whether crossdresser or transsexual". Hear their stories, and compare notes.

    My advice: Invest in a QUALITY wig if you're not going to grow your hair out. Having a 15$ wig from party city works for halloween, but after that its a dead give away. Plus having a nice one makes you feel so much prettier. I LOVE mine!!! The lady at the wig shop helped me try on several so I could find the style that fit me best. I was dressed as a man, and she didn't even act like anything was strange, it was a very positive experiance.
