    Question This is different

    Hey everyone,

    Is it just me that when you dress, like with your wig, make-up, clothes, accessories etc it feels normal. However when you dress just with the clothes and leave everything else out, it feels a bit weird.

    Does anyone else feel like this if you dress without the extra's ? lol

    Yes i so agree! early on prior to discovery of my full self i only did portions such as pantyhose and heels. Once I did the complete transformation and the process if i do not have time to do it all I dont do it.

    I tend to get dressed completely, except for a wig around the house sometimes.

    Actually, I consider the entire look an "outfit". The image is not complete otherwise and girls, even guy girls want to look nice.

    It is a bit different, but, so much easier. I've been getting out with minimum fuss lately, --no wig, and just a bit of make-up. Slip on something quick, and gone! I'm able to go out for an hour or two, when the moment works. Let's me get out a whole lot more often!

    Hi, Yes it really has to be all or nothing. I try to use my own hair when I can. Underdressing doesn't do it for me either. Jaymee

    That's the case with me. After I dropped off my wife at work I came home and fully dressed, including wig. I do forgo the makeup because it's takes too much time and it'll be removed by 3 PM. I'm doing laundry today dressed in a new Merona blank and white print wrap dress, black heels and white undergarments, nude pantyhose. Being totally en femme seems as natural as dressed in guy mode. If I don't have the time to be fully dressed I forgo anything. I've even given up under dressing because wearing women's clothing has been so natural feeling. I guess I've evolved to the point of "If I cannot see myself in women's clothing and I no longer think about it, why do it?"

    Certainly not you nor I

    I am who I am no matter what I wear, but if I am hanging around the house doing house things, then the wig and make up are not important (and often cumbersome). If I am stepping out the door for any reason....the whole enchilada

    I almost never "dress" without wearing my makeup, wig, jewelry, etc. It just doesn't feel or look right.

    It's definitely all or nothing for me, I don't feel right if I leave anything out. It's all about the look as a whole, otherwise I don't feel like Delaney!

    I can go either way actually and it doesn't feel "weird". Mostly I dress fully but there are days when I'll just wear some panties and a skirt or maybe just a dress to mess around the house a bit. In the warmer months, I'll wear a skirt around in the back yard when its just me. We have a ton of trees so no nosey neighbors peeking

    Totally agree it's all or nothing for me. Well it used to be but now it's always all.

    Yeah, I'm a perfectionist. I'm like if I'm going to do this I'm going to look halfway presentable. My goal is to really get my look going then take a roadtrip somewhere to dress for a weekend to see if I like it.

    I would feel somewhat incomplete without my wig, certainly.

    I would never even consider dressing if I couldn't get completely dressed. Sometimes I might skimp on the eye makeup and wear glasses but even that is rare.

    Going out, I need my wig, ear rings, etc, but at home I relax and just wear dress, bra & undies or evenings just my nighty.

    Quite the opposite for me. If I'm just going to be sitting around the house watching TV, it sometimes feels a bit silly to dress to the nines. I want to be comfortable -- a simple skirt, a cotton top, maybe some colored tights and light makeup.

    I think an important factor in how one feels also depends on how often that one can dress completely versus partially. Another factor is if one goes out and how often. In my case because I have a lot of freedom and limited restriction or obstacles to my going out completely dressed to blend and impress, I hardly ever dress partially or completely just to stay at home. The few times I have not had my weekly fix of going out, I may dress at home the following week if it looks like I may have more time to wait to go out. I do try on outfits when I get new clothes and sometimes I will wear them during the evening at home while I try different combinations of tops, shoes, belts, coats and whatever. Otherwise, for me it is all or nothing, including going out, since I get little thrill just sitting at home dressed.

    I have to be completely en femme. Not nessesarily the whole works,with dress,pantyhose,jewelry etc.(though I usually do in the evening)but at least a wig,lipstick,and a little makeup. Without it,it loses everything.

    I almost never dress completely with wig and makeup.
    But when I do it certainly is a special time. I do feel complete then.
