Compilation of fun stories

[Bailey_in_Mansfield]

Maybe there's another thread on this subject, but another never hurt, right? People may have new stories by now. ^_^

I'd like to hear fitting room stories, personally, but whatever seems fun to you. Here's mine:

So I've gotten to be on friendly terms and first-name basis with some of the girls at my local Victoria's Secret, and they have let me use the fitting rooms. But, partly because I wear forms and do not (yet) have much actual breast to speak of, I haven't had them come in and work with me in the dressing room to get the bra to fit. (I really thought they'd refuse.)

So I've been measured at a 38B before (with the forms on, and wearing only a paper-thin bralette so it wouldn't pad the measurements more than necessary), and yesterday I was in trying on a Dream Angels 38B wireless push-up. (I know my Victoria's Secret! Hehe) It was rare since they usually don't carry 38B in the store, and they tell me to go with a 36C instead (sister-size).

That's a good tip, by the way, that they gave me... If you can't find your exact size, you can usually increase the cup by one and decrease the band by a size, and find one that will work. If you're 38A and a store doesn't carry it, you can also try 36B and usually it will work.

Anyway, was trying this one on in my exact size (what a miracle), but it felt a little tight, and my actual breast tissue was popping up where the bra ended, causing some spillage that might be visible under clothes. (This was with me placing the forms in the bra's lower corners, using the forms as silicone push-ups.) I hadn't had enough cleavage before to know how to deal with spillage like that, so I punched the service button, expecting the girl to be a little too weirded out having to help a guy with a bra.

I let her in and she worked with me very expertly, like she'd done this a million times for other guys. She loosened up my shoulder straps and it fit beautifully, but she still thought it was too tight. She grabbed me a 38C of the same type and it felt even better. She helped me deal with some gapping that happens when you sit, etc. And I know she had to have seen the forms, but she didn't say anything about them.

I thanked her profusely and apologized in case I made her uncomfortable. She said no, she was fine, and there was nothing weird about it. I asked if it was a first for her. She said, "Well, yes, to be honest. But you're easy to work with, and thank God, you actually have sizes that fit you! You're lucky. I've had 'women' in here who can't find any size bra to fit them at all. I look at them and just think, 'there is no WAY you were born female with shoulders that broad. No bra in this building fits you!' But you're lucky, you seem to usually find a good fit on your first or second try. And you don't make me uncomfortable at all."

She also filled out a little card and gave it to me, about the size of a business card, that lists all the different kinds of bras, with an X by the ones I tried on and another mark by the ones I didn't go for. Lists my sizes and all that. She said to give it to an associate any time I shop there again and it'll help them out.

I am just constantly wowed by the awesome staff at this particular Victoria's Secret store. :) If you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the Victoria's Secret at the Parks Mall is THE place to go!

Anyone else have some good fitting stories (or other stories) to share?

I remember when I was looking for a backless strapless bra for some outfit I had planned on wearing, I think it was a Frederick's of Hollywood with the open shoulders or something like that, and I went into "Sheer Fantasy Lingerie" ((aka The Bra Specialists)).

I was asked by the lady working there if she could help me. I told her what I was looking for and she asked "What size is she". I told her "No, I need this bra for myself, but since I have never bought a backless, I know nothing about fitting one". She said no problem and took me into the fitting room, asked me to remove my shirt. ((I was in drab at the time, but was wearing a bra)). She looked at me, smiled and said "Good, now I can measure you properly". She measured me for a bra and then came back with a backless one and a regular one because she thought it would look great on me. I tried them both, she made sure they were fitted properly to me, and I ended up buying them both and have gone back a couple times in the following year or two. I really need to go back there again, it's time to see if my sizing is differant now.

Nice! I have a few more stories from the same Victoria's Secret I mentioned above, but I'll wait for a few more stories to pile up from other people before I turn it into the Bailey show again. :D

Sounds like the employee you dealt with was a pro! Guess she had dealt with this before. :)

I only have one fitting room story because usually I dont try things on, I buy them and see if they fit (Works like a charm so far :heehee:).

I was at my local shopping centre and I saw this really cute looking skirt (It was black crumpled valure) and I decided I'd try it on. I was in Karl getup (Basically a Guy), so I went upto the changing room attendant and she looked at the skirt and gave me a marker.

She had a strange look on her face, one that I have never seen before nor since (The closest one that is similar is when I was buying alot of underwear and I went to the register with like $80 worth of G-Strings, Panties and Bra's).

It was a look of "What the" mixed with "Thats brave". I do have to say it was an amazing experience, would love to do it again if I could pluck up the courage.

Lots of love,
Miss Kara

I always love hearing about all these great experiences other girls have had out shopping, it's inspiring and encouraging! Excellent idea Bailey! :) I've only bought a few female items at actual stores, but I've never tried anything on in a fitting room, don't have the balls :o I mostly got my stuff online and luckily most items have fit! :)

So I don't have a fun fitting room story :( But here's my funniest cross dressing story...

I was itching to go out en femme and never had so I was very nervous! I still lived at home and didn't want to get caught by my family, or anyone else. One night, after midnight I got dressed up, very scantily I might add :p Anyways, my intention was just to take a nice drive around town. Now girls on here are very sweet and tell me I can pass, I don't know about that. It's hard to pass when you have a mustache and goatee! :p My girl loves me scruffy so especially then I didn't shave fully when I dressed up, plus I didn't go out. This night was no exception. So I managed to sneak out and drive around my little Jersey town for about 20 minutes. Every time I came close to another car I'd as nonchalantly as I could scratch my nose or cover my mouth in some way. Which was fine, until 2 blocks from arriving home I passed a cop. My mouth cover move was way less nonchalant in this instance cause I got really nervous about the prospect of being pulled over as a bearded lady! :p Fearing he'd noted something odd about me I parked at my house in a hurry and jumped outta my car. I took 2 steps in a run and fell REALLY hard on my face in the street! :heehee: Well, not literally on my face, but bad enough! I felt so stupid but managed to get back in the house without anyone noticing. I had 2 nasty gashes, one on my elbow and one on my knee, bleeding all over! But I was mostly upset about scuffing my favorite boots! :D

[Bailey_in_Mansfield]

Haha, nice story Samantha! I think if you look like that avatar, you could definitely pass. (The content of your posts gives you away, obviously, but before I read the posts, when I just looked at your avatar, I thought you were a GG.)

The first time I went out dressed up was when I lived in an apartment... I had some male clothes that didn't fit anymore and were going to be donated to goodwill, and there's a goodwill dropoff box not far from the apartment. So after midnight or so, I got dressed (shaved legs with some sport shorts and a sports bra, with lame wig that's okay enough to pass at a distance), grabbed the goodwill donation stuff, ran it down to the car, drove to the dropoff box and made the drop. It was simple, no interaction with anyone else, but still let me feel the wind on the shaved legs and such, hehe. :)

Actually, come to think of it, my story probably should go in a different kind of thread. I like your stories though. When I order some new forms I just might have to have a VS fitting session.

[Bailey_in_Mansfield]

Oh my....... how humiliating!!! :( Kudos to you for your "I would have put on a better show" remark... I don't think I could even have managed that! Wow...

Guess I'll share another one of mine next, hehe... I went back into VS recently to try on their new "Miraculous Bra," aka the "Hello Bombshell" bra, advertised to add 2 cup sizes. Sweet! Now I use breastforms, sometimes using them as inserts, which doesn't work so well in some push-up bras, but sometimes it works great. I do have a fair amount of actual breast tissue too, so I thought I might have enough to make this bra work properly.

I noticed a few new faces in the store, apparently they had hired their Christmas help... One of the new girls asked if she could help me find anything, and as she was leading me to the Miraculous, she asked "Do you know your girlfriend's--or wife's--size?"

I'm very up-front with the other girls at VS, so I just came right out with it. "Erm, actually it's for me, and I'm looking for a 38B. 36C will do if you don't have the first one."

She was just a little surprised, but it didn't really shake her. We got the bra and headed for the fitting rooms. I waited outside of the fitting rooms and pretended to be browsing while she checked to make sure the coast was clear. Their policy is that men can use the rooms if there are no women already there, but since it was a busy day, and the VS girls trust me, they basically just wait til there's no one in the hall and then they quietly sneak me into an empty one. So they snuck me in and I tried it on in both sizes... No luck. No more push-up action than a typical push-up bra, and the padding was shaped strangely too. On top of that, this bra hated my breastforms, so that one was a fail.

The new girl, Rebecca, came in to check on me and agreed that one just wouldn't work... "But it's ok," she said, "that one doesn't work for hardly anyone. Even me, I'm a D cup and somehow I don't have enough tissue to make that one work right...but those it DOES work for, it's amazing!" So she asked if I'd like to try on something different. Sure.

So she brings me back several more bras in my size--I didn't tell her I already owned some of them, I figured "hell this'll be fun!"--and I tried on one after another in front of her.

"You're having fun with this, aren't you?" I asked.

"Ooooh yes, I just want to see you with your shirt off!" she joked.

Those were ok but nothing I was wild about, so she happily went and grabbed MORE. She kept finding reasons to have me try on more and more, and admitted she really was having a lot of fun. She was impressed with my knowledge too... After all, her boss was the girl I mentioned in the original post of this thread, and she taught me damn near all she knew. Ha...so I knew more about bras than the genuine girl helping me with the fitting! :D I was halfway tempted to ask if I could help HER find a better fitting bra... ;)

So we finally picked one I liked after she insisted, "You are leaving today with a bra you love and I'm not gonna be happy until you do!" We headed back out into the main store to pick a color, and to give her a little shopping-fun, I asked her to just pick HER favorite color. So she reaches into the drawer and pulls out a navy-blue bra, in the lace version of the one that I picked. :) She found me some matching panties too, and I am much looking forward to seeing her there again. :)

Before I was out at all I used to occasionally shop in VS as a guy and pretend that I was shopping for a girlfriend. I once went into a store and was looking for a gartered corset that was on sale, but saw that it wasn't available in the size I needed. I got talked to by a sales associate who was just extremely helpful, even more so than the ladies there usually are, which is impressive to begin with.

Anyway she recommended that since the corset wasn't available that I get "her" a matching bra and panty set with a garter belt. Well, I don't really wear forms so for me the bra seemed pointless, so I decided to just buy the panties and garter belt, and stockings for it. Well the girl, in the interest of trying to help me buy stuff for this fictional girl she thought I was shopping for, and I'm sure in adding to her total sale, kept trying to hard sell me for the bra. I had no interest in spending my money on a bra so I kept saying No. Finally it started to get annoying because I had told her several times that I wasn't interested but she was trying to understand why I thought this "girl" wouldn't like a bra. ("Does she just not wear them?")

I finally just said something like "You don't want to know" and she backed off and rang me up and I went on my way, but I remember feeling like I was about to just tell her the stuff was for me and get it over with.

Since then I've had many pleasant experiences at VS (not that this was impleasant, it just stuck out in my mind) and transitioned into just not mentioning who the stuff was for and letting the sales associates decide for themselves, to the current state of things where depending on the way I feel when I'm in there I'll just tell the salesgirl what *I* want when I'm shopping in there.

Haha, nice story Samantha! I think if you look like that avatar, you could definitely pass. (The content of your posts gives you away, obviously, but before I read the posts, when I just looked at your avatar, I thought you were a GG.)



Thanks so much Bailey, you are very kind! :) That is one of the biggest compliments I've received on here! REALLY?! Really thought I was a GG?! AWESOME! :devil:

[Bailey_in_Mansfield]

That look on your face with the tongue sticking out is a very GG thing to do. :P The girl in the avatar looks to be in her early 20s, yet your "Location" gives away that you're older...so maybe it's just cause it's a small pic. ^_^

[windycissy]

I can't top any of your fun stories, but I can share this picture I snapped of myself trying on a dress in a fitting room, it's a little fuzzy 'cause I took it with my cellphone of my reflection in the mirror:

One day I was Looking at the Catherines website and saw a pants set that I really liked and the following weekend I worked up the nerve to go to the Catherines store here in drab. There were just a couple of women shoping and 2 sa's. after looking around I found the pants set I had seen and was looking at it when I heard a voice say what size does your wife wear. I thought for a second and I don't know where the courage came from but I said that this is for me. The sa smiled and said that I looked like a size 22. Then I asked if I could try it on, she smiled and said yes and went to check the dressing rooms to see if they were empty and took me in. I tried on the outfit and changed back and took it to the sales counter and said I wanted it. The sa rung up the sale and thanked me very much and said come back soon. I went out to my car and shook for 10 minutes wow what a feeling. I have been thinking of going back soon and see if I get the same friendly service.

Bailey! Yor experience at VS is so encouraging! It sounds like you and that sales girl had a blast! :D

And thanks again, you make me blush! :o My family has these mutant genes, we all look a bit youger than we are, it's nice! :battingeyelashes:

Aaaaw! windycissy, despite the blurriness you look so excited and happy in that pic, it's very cute ;)

[Bailey_in_Mansfield]

Any more cool stories? This thead fell to the 2nd page and it was just getting fun! Maybe I need to go back into VS and make a new story. ^_^

[nancyish]

I am starting to ask the SA's questions like "do you get very many people like me?,or men "wheni'm in the panty section.They surprisingly get a fair amount of us.When i'm trying on ladies jeans they always give a look of surprise and say "follow me" but i always go to mens dressing room.How about you all?Nancy

[karynspanties]

I went to Lord & Taylor when they where in the Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor. The lingerie department was on the upper level. It was dead in there. I was looking at some control panties and asked the sa if they had any open bottom girdles with no pantie. Her name was Helena. She was in her fifties I would say. They did not have what I was looking for but found a nice cami and half slip. I asked if I could try them on and she said yes. She took me back to the fitting rooms and put me in the end stall, also the largest. I was already underdressed in panties, thigh highs and a cami. As I was trying them on, she knocked on the door as said she had some other things I may like to try on. I opened the door and she came in. There I was standing in a cami and half lip. She said I looked nice and handed me some panties. I dropped my half slip...panties and tried them on right there in front of her. Yup she got the full monty. The she handed me another pair of see thru mesh. We let's just say the soldier was at attention by now. I tried those on too. She just stood there and watched. She then goes out and gets more things for me to try on. I was there trying stuff on for almost an hour. I ended up buying the cami and matching half slip......with her discount! 100% true story.
