A while back a friend an I were talking and I told her that I was feeling the need to dress, right then. So I went on to tell her that I was going to put on my nurses uniform with all the approperate extras. Shoes, white hose, lab coat and maybe the cap. She didn't quite understand the need for the costume part. And after a little thought I realized it was a tad on the fetish/fantasy side but not on a sexual level.
I thought about it for a while and soon realized that the uniform was a comforting feeling to me as an enviorment with in it's self. You see I was in uniform for over half my life/career. And now that I am retired from that field and no longer wear anything other than regular civilian attire. I miss the routine and order in a small way. See when you are in the same uniform day in and day out you don't have to worry about style or is this right with this or that or the other. And sometimes that is a stress relief but now for me it is just a comfort and happy memory.
With this said the traditional white dress and lab coat are very easy to wear, they are versital and feel and fit well. I have the nice shoes that are leather but have a athletic type sole and lining. They are perfect for anyone that is on their feet for long at the time. The uniform is nice and holds up well to wear also and is easy to get in and out of with the zipped front and tie-belt and short sleeves. When I do office work it is appropriate and when I do house work it is perfect.
The important thing is it makes me happy and I enjoy the time I wear it. And that is what I think crossdressing should do for everyone. There is many more types of uniforms out there that I would have a blast in but I haven't got them so until then I will enjoy the few I do have.
Do any of you endulge in this type of dressing? And do any of you think the causes I have stated are out of line or normal or just have any thoughts to add?
