I just did something wonderful. Thanks to a member posting a thread that Dress Barns are cross dresser friendly, I went to one nearby. I saw a blue-green metallic maxi skirt with a coordinating white top that I wanted to try. I took the skirt and top in two different sizes and went to the sales counter. I told the lady that I had heard that Dress Barn stores are cross dresser friendly and that I wanted to try these items on. She very warmly took me to one of the dressing rooms and told me to take my time. I wound up buying the skirt and top that best fitted me. I think I'm going to become their best customer. When I told her that it was my first time buying in this manner, she told me to come on back. Crossed another bridge.
Thank you fellow member for that great tip!
