Hobbies/professions nurturing the femme side

[WifeAndMom]

I'm curious if anyone has taken the love of women's clothes and such out of their home and spun it into a hobby or profession? To clarify, have any of you taken the love of womens clothes into a career in fashion or costume design for theatre?

I ask because I wonder if my husband may find a way to express his love for the clothes or female form through another means to feel even more comfortable or in touch with his femme side. He is very creative and loves the texture and look of women's clothing.

It is possible to do these types of things, you just have to get the courage up to ask iat a place in your local area.

I'm not really suggesting finding a career or hobby where my husband can be dressed as a woman but more spinning the love of the clothes into something that would help satisfy the love of women and clothes outside of his CD'ing.

I have no problem with his CD'ing and I'm not sure he has any interest in taking it outside of our home but he loves fabrics and textures and different looks.

So I wonder if anyone has a profession or hobby outside of CD'ing that fills part of that love in a different way? Does this make sense?

I spent several years as a costume designer and custom seamstress/dressmaker. Designing isn't so bad, but sewing is a lot of labor, (and I mean a LOT of hours) for very little return. I was my own sweat-shop. I would spend the entire months of September and October sequestered in the sewing room, endlessly making costumes.

Nowadays, I only sew for my own raiment, (I make what I wear) or as gifts for close friends / SO. I may get back into it one day, but I sort of doubt it.

We both make jewelry and love to sew, but it's just a hobby, nothing that's ever going to make money.

Hugs, Marci and Julie :hugs:

Does working in underground coal mining and playing ice hockey count?

I say why not love what you do for a living
Open a CD shop in your neck of the woods and your husband and yourself can not on;y support all of us girls but have fun doing so as well :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
