Though I'm very new here, I've read with a great deal of interest many of the posts about getting caught or nearly getting caught. Let me preface everything else here by telling you that my wife hates the idea of crossdressing, so everything I do has to be "on the sly". So I'm not passable and only dress for fun when I see an opportunity. One of the threads today caught my attention - the one about wearing nail polish to work. My experience was with wearing a bra, though.
I work in a small company, less than 50 employees. For a while I was wearing some kind of a bra under my dress shirts on a regular basis. (By the way, I'm known for never wearing a white shirt to work.) I had done so for several days, not giving a thought to it at all. There is one lady in our payroll department whom I had forgotten is a bit "touchy feely". Don't get me wrong, not in a bad way. It's not uncommon for her to walk up behind someone and give them a welcome neck rub or pat them on the shoulder or rub their shoulders - similar to a massage, stress releasing technique. (Boy, I hope I described that OK - it's in no way ever been interpreted as any kind of harrassment.) Well, in my case it was the last. And when she did, there was no doubt in my mind that she felt my bra straps. She even rubbed my shoulders a bit longer than normal (and boy did it feel good). I didn't notice any expression on her face when I turned around other than the normal. Nothing was said. A couple of days later during or after a conversation (I don't remember which) she ran her hand up and down my back, and again, with the amount of force (firm, but comfortable), there's no way she could have missed the bra.
For me it was exciting to know that someone else now knows about me. Yet I was disappointed that she didn't ask anything. Since that time, I've not been wearing my bra, in part because I purged, and haven't found another that fits comfortably. But after telling you all of this experience, I may have to at least start wearing the sports bra I have.
Well, that's my first real post (my other was my inttroduction). I hope in some way it contributes to someone's sense of belonging, to the site, or whatever. Maybe I can share other experiences in the future!
