Typically, the only item of mens wear I'll have on at work will be my shirt. Otherwise, every item is womens wear. Jeans (without back pocket embellishment), shoes that don't warrant a second look, etc. At first glance, and even second glance, I go unnoticed. We've had some GG college interns over the years who've probably recognized the stitching pattern on some of my jeans, but there's never been a comment made...(or maybe just none ever heard)
I'm with Stacy B. I wear female clothing all the time. This past Wednesday I wore 100% female clothing but it all looked male. Crossdressing for me isn't about wearing a dress and heels and looking like June Cleaver, it's about wearing what the other women wear. They all wear jeans so I wear their jeans and why are they the only ones with stretch denim? They wear sweaters and sweatshirts and such and I try to mimic them.
With that said I am still going to check out an A-line dress at Target this weekend.

My firm, as do most law firms, has a very strict dress code for both males and females. The would allow me to dress en femme if i were transitioing. As am not, i am expeted to wear appropriate male attire. No one can dictate what am wearing underneath however.
I have never gone to work en femme. I do however go to work underdressed (minamally a bra and panties) and with girls' outer clothes. That's to say they are women's clothes, but they are not too "in your face". You know, girls jeans, tees and hoodies that are in neutral colors. That sorta thing.

I have a couple times, (under cover of halloweenfirst time was as a hippie girl (Red-brown shirt & brown skirt w/ my hair down, 2nd was in a blue cheongsam (i think the pic is in my intro thread), one customer had trouble connecting my voice and dress apparently... (at least he was quite embarrassed...) there was a 3rd time, and most people were ok with it (ironically one of the hairdressers from the salon next door complained about it and got me in trouble, it was the day the store went out of business so no biggie...
Yes! - panty hose, waist cincher, padded panty, & cami - all under androgynous tight jeans and top. Except it's hard to concentrate on the task at hand!
Go to work dressed...i dont think that is a good idea. I have thought about it but the only thing i can wear and get away with if caught is panty hose because they can prevent blisters from long road marches.
I have worn panties and pantyhose to the office but could not get away with anything else. I do, however, travel at times when working so I am able to wear women's jeans, blouses, and shoes( with all the underthings) when I am enroute. I simply change back to male mode when I get close to my destination.

Hot metal shavings and low neck lines not are not a good mix. Plus they do not make steel toe pumps .
Me too. However all my clothes are purchased in the Women's Department of stores whether in person or online. My under garments no one sees so it's all okay there. True I stay to basics, slacks and dress style shirts that are not definitely female looking/cut and flats. Nothing flashy in any way shape or form, no dresses and heels (unfortunately).Originally Posted by Beverley Sims
But it works. For me the 'glass ceiling' is all to real in my job. I would lose upwards of 50% of my pay. So, I am 'hiding in plain sight' and that's okay. Knowing I'm female works for me, some others see it and most don't care or have a clue. That's fine.
I'm no Marilyn Monroe or any other beauty any way. Just an average gal wanting to survive.

When I worked, I did underdress occasionally, in my panties, girdle, stockings. I must say the days I spent underdressed were much more pleasant.
Challenge accepted....

I have underdressed, I wore a satin nightie under my uniform, I worked in the bush with 1 lady so I didn't mind if she found out, but I am trying to dress more as I'm the boss now and would love to have that Experience to be Jess at work
