While this may be in the wrong section, I still wanted to share the awesome experience I had this weekend. It was my first time dressing in front of anyone else, and it couldn't have been better.
I went to visit one of the only friends who I have some out to, and she said it would be cool if I brought clothing and dressed up. Her husband was totally cool with it too, which made it that much better. When packing, I put just about the whole wardrobe into my bag. My mom looked a little confused when I left for the weekend with a full duffel bag!
The first night we just hung out and caught up. When we woke up the second day, we went shopping! We found a Fredrick's of Hollywood online, and went to that mall. We wandered around for a while, and then went to Fred's. They were having a huge sale, but strangely the store was practically deserted. My friend tried on a corset, and finally convinced me to try one on. The woman was really helpful, and we both ended up buying the same one!
My friend helped me with my makeup, showing me a few tricks on how to apply it better. She also let me use some of her really good makeup, with a totally different color than what I am used to. I dressed up and hung out with her and her husband for the whole evening, dressed and comfortable. Her husband even made a few light cracks about it, which boosted my comfort level. Overall, I was dressed for several hours, and was totally at ease the whole time. I don't think my first time in front of anyone else could have gone better! Results are attached...
I know I have a long way to go before actually being able to pass, but I think I have come a long way from when I joined. Thanks for reading! Comments much appreciated!
