To what degree do you crossdress

[Gemma Rhodes]

Hi Girls,

Just wondering to what degree do you crossdress. I love to dress fully with wig, make up, jewelery etc even when Im not going out and I get an incredible buzz of excitement and achievement when I see my femme self in the mirror or in a particular good pic I have just taken.

I need to dress most days and weekends now but need a good few hours to dress and put my slap on and enjoy the experience, I can't just put a pair of panties or stockings on as it just doesn't have the same effect.

So to what degree do you girls dress and how often?

When I started it was just hose and heels. Then I added various silky items such as slips and cami's. Once I went out and purchased a full outfit just for Ellie (v. borrowing my GF's) I needed something to fill out the boob area so I added a bra. I had tried makeup without dressing some time ago but it just doesn't feel the same as it does when dressed.

Now a days I usually fully dress to bring on the full effect. If I have the rest of the evening to be Ellie (v. having to go out later in drab) then I'll do my nails and makeup.

Yesterday I started out early (6pm) and stayed up late (2am) before having to wash off the make up and get into my pjs.

I don’t go out in public as Jenna... but maybe, maybe soon, right now I just dress up in the comfort of my own home. I have makeup but don’t usually put it on seeing as I feel beautiful without it and that’s the only person in the house. Also, I don’t use wigs… I’m growing my hair so I can style it different ways and look a little more natural. You can blame my mom on the long hair, when I was young I use too have hair all the way down to the middle of my back, of course I was and kind of still am a shining example of a Dead Head child

Years ago it was just panties, then it was a bra and panties, then a slip and some hose added to the bra and panties.

Right now for me, single no girl friend and live alone, I dress up pretty much most of the time I am home. Panties (I do them 24/7 unless I am in the shower), bra with silicone breast forms, and then what ever else. That might be a dress or a skirt and blouse. It could be heels and hose with that dress or skirt or not. It might be just heels. Some days I want a wig and my bad attempt at makeup, and other times just the wig. Depends on the mood.

Sometimes if I have the weekend free I will do color on my fingernails as well, toenails are colored most of the time. Just not right now, well guess I need to do that.

[Jasmine Ellis]

I would love to say 24/7 but I do not......But nearly do. I see my Mum, 2 hours each day, and my bother comes to see me once a week for 30 minutes this is the only times I don't dress.

[Anahis]

I'm still a novice in makeup and I don't have all the "items" so I only wear my wig, dress and heels and spend the day like Anahis.

Like many of us, I've gone from lingerie when I was very young to a full feminine outfilt. My choice of clothes is fairly conservative, long skirts or knee high minimum. I spend as much time like that. I sleep at night in a regular nightgown. I like it in Satin or in nice polyester.

Early on x-dressing was mainly with underwear as a way to be sexualy excited and to get some pleasure like that. Now that aspect of my x-dressing is almost completely extinct. I say almost as from time to time I will dress very sexy underwear that I usually don't wear, (not comfortable enough for everyday wear) and act as if I wanted to seduce a "macho man"

No details for what happens next by me

I dress up completely two or three times on weeknights each week. Then if I don't have the kids I go enfemme the whole weekend. I even run errands as a chick!

[Lilith Moon]

It has depended on circumstances. For some periods in the past...most days and also got out in public several times each week. During other periods...including now...hardly at all :mad:

[sterling12]

I wear my nylon panties 24/7, unless I have an appointment with The Doctor, or something like that. If not fully dressed each day, I find that I can "get by" lounging around in a Nightie, reading or watching TV.

However, more and more I find that I'm a happier person when I'm fully dressed. It gets to be a case of the "Might as Wells". If, I put on my lingerie..."Might as well" go ahead and put on a dress or a skirt and top. Since I put on The Dress, "might as well" go ahead and add the pumps and the jewelry to complete the look. It kind of just gets rolling and we just go all the way!

And, I really like my face fully "made up". If I go to the trouble of dressing, I feel compelled to add the eyelashes, to the eyeliner,to the mascara, etc., etc. I think once you are semi-happy with the results, it gets to be very important to do better each time and the behaviors become "reinforcing". For me, it just seems "mentally-inadequate" to just partially do makeup or some other girlie thing.

For those not familiar with that term "reinforcing"...look up B.F. Skinner and read a little about "The Behaviorists". I think you will find it enlightening. It seems to explain a lot about why some Cd's go further and further with their CD Activities, always striving for that "perfect look". (See Skinner's Hypothesis about "Random Reward" always reinforcing even stronger repeating behaviors).

Oh well, enough pontification.....gotta go get dressed for dinner! En-femme of course, silly!

Peace and love, Joanie

well, since i started dressing agin after a 13 year lay off, i guess I'm tryingmy best to make up for all the lost years of feeling as fem as possible. Even though I am out to a accepting AND encouraging wife, i limit my dressing to just a few special nights. lately it's been friday nights when we hang out together. but I prefer o dress ALL the way. from the fav shoes to the just right styled hair. makeup a MUST, earrings, bracelets, necklace, toe rings, a slight zap of perfume and and let the night be Girlsnight here at home.

although, when it's just me alone before she gets home from work. i will satisfy my needs with maybe just heels and pink shorts. it's easy to snap back in to drab boy clothes when she gets home from work

[charlottejane]

i agree with Gemma it has tobe the whole xperience otherwise it is a cheat, so maybe severaltimes a week or a gapin between

[Paula G]

It really depends on what mood I'm in and whether I have some time to myself. It can be anywhere from just heels & hose to being fully dressed.

[Butterfly Bill]

It was in the 90s today (in April!) so it was a pair of guy sandals, a tank top rayon dress (regimental), and a little black purse to go to the grocery store two hours ago. Takes me less than a minute to get ready starting from nudity. Can't abide makeup, no wig, no shave on my face either (the legs are).I won't wear something if it is uncomfortable. I do this every day when I'm not doing work that gets clothes dirty.

[cindybarnes]

I love getting dressed head to toe and trying to look as feminine as I can,either at home or going out.
I also am happy dressing head to toe but in a casual way,, just depends on my plans
But there are times,,,, like the last several months that I just wear my ususal girly underthings and fem stuff that I can wear while in drab.
Its not nearly as nice as feeling but sure helps till I get back to my normal Cindy photo tramp , outfit buying, wig styling self
I realy dont have dressing restrictions, like kids at home & my wife accepts Cindy usually, so thats not a prob,I guess my mood determines my degree of dressing. I know this may make me sound like a weirdo but heck thats who I am so please dont vote me off the Island ok *S*

[Faye Emmette]

I suppose I dress as if I were going to the supermarket in the early sixties .. or at least before pantyhose was invented. I am just skirt & blouse, short heels and hairpiece now but unlike Cindy, leave the girdle and bra at home when I have to go out (which is soon).
Don't go out at night anymore though I have some nice dresses with beautiful foundation wear to suit and highter heels.
And Cindy, I really doubt you'll ever be voted off this island. :cheeky:

[JoannaDees]

The full gambit here. It could be all things including wigs and makeup, or just some clothes. Maybe just a few things, but always the "feeling". The idea. The concept. I don't know if I can convey this ... except to those who know.

You say it well JoannaDees. It is the "feeling" and I do know it well. I pretty much stick to undies and lounge wear around the house but I do wear fem jeans most of the time and panties all of the time. They are so comfortable......... Jolene

[wendy]

whenever I dress, I try to go all the way depending on time. If I have alot of time, I will indulge in makeup (lipstick, eyeshadow, nails, ...), but if I don't, then I just throw on a wig but no makeup.

As for clothing wise, I go all the way, panties, hose, girdles, bra, slip, and outerwear.

for frequency, I try to dress up whenever I can.

[Nikki Dee]

All or nothing for me Gemma...and every day...I get withdrawal symptoms after 24 hours.!!!
Love Nikki. x

[Krystenw]

The only time I get dressed up like a guy is when I go to work. And even at that I think I have worn a dress to work more then most of the women I work with.
My wife doesn't like me wearing dresses in public so I have found several ladies pantsuits that she lets me wear to go shopping or to yard sales and such.
The only time I put on all of my makeup is if I have the day off and I have the time. Other then that just some lipstick and I'm off.

[BonnieJG]

For me I try to dress all the way head to toe wig, make-up, bra w/ forms and what ever fits the day a dress & top, or paints and a t shirt or sometime I get put on a real nice dress . I DON't go out I just stay in one day maybe
I try to get dress evey day with something even if for 1 hour or two when the kids is out. But evey night I ware a nightgown to bed ( the wife nows)

[allisonrn06]

I rarely get to get fully dressed anymore-my wife was disabled last year and having her home has put a serious damper on that.I woulud like to have put makeup on this am,but it would be tough enough just getting my heels of and covering my hose before she gets down stairs,so i stayed with just hose and heels.But if i had time and sspace I would frequently get fully dressed including makeup and wig.

[emma_bb]

i hardly ever wear y fronts and a string vest anymore but if i do its mainly at the weekends

[jaye]

Some days its hard to get enough time to fully complete the transformation in full. Most of the time its just the clothes and wig, makeup ofetn takes a back burner. This is often down to time constraints. It would be great to spend more time en-femme, but theres just no way some of us can do it too often. Its just a case of take what you can and long for the rest on the occasional day when you can squeeze in a full makeup day.

Oh and if anyone is interested in cheap but trenday ad classic clothes, try Bonprix. There prices are good too, and the stuffs not too badly made.

Love to you all

Jaye
