Sisters

[Robyn2006]

Wondering how many of you had an older sister or two who perhaps inspired you back in the day to jump the gender fence, for that's my story. Mine were a few years older and both were and are to-die-for gorgeous. Watching them get all dolled-up for a date drove me nuts, though so silently and unseen, with baby-brother-me far in the distant background. Without a clue, both created such a heavenly atmosphere of glamour, I just had to follow. Having their things to explore when alone, I can't even begin to tell how wonderful that was! :battingeyelashes:

[Cynthia Anne]

When I was four, my older sister would dress me up! After a couple of years she quit!:sad: But I could not quit!:):hugs:

[Rachel Morley]

I am the eldest of two sons, but if I was in your situation with two gorgeous older sisters I really believe things would have been different for me ... especially if they were ok with humoring (or even encouraging) their baby brother. :)

[siennacd]

i ha an older sister that was a beauty queen. She didn't dress me up but i'd wear her things. Don't know if I wanted to be her or not but, that is when I started dressing.

[Aprilrain]

Yes i have 2 older sisters. They used to dress me up when I was little, I protested but loved it! Later when they were at collage I was in HS and that was when I really started to dress up on my own with their clothes.

[Barbara Dugan]

I have 3 sisters, the youngest one just turned 18...one is a year older than me, the other one is a year younger than me.... I get along great with them but to be honest I've never been too close to any of them, I just wanted to be different ...my oldest always used to be very tomboyish the one that is year younger is very pettite. Sometimes I look on the different looks they use to get some inspiration

[Sophie86]

I have four sisters, and I am the only boy. It was definitely an influence, all that estrogen in the atmosphere. The first time I ever did a full dress up, it was my older sister who talked me into going in drag for Halloween.

[Stephenie S]

I had an older cousin (about 4 years older), who I just absolutely worshiped. She would come to visit during the summers. I really looked up to her. I thought she was SO sophisticated. She was very pretty. I watched her one afternoon when she wore her FIRST pair of heels. I was so jealous, but I was much too young. She was kind and very nice and I'm sure she was a good influence on me.

I have a sister who is 2 years older than me!! My first start in crossdressing was with her panties. I think my grandma may have dressed me in one of my sisters dresses many time when we were playing. That was to protect my own clothes. Grandma had many girls clothes, but I was the only boy!! Lucky me!!

[Leslie Iz]

I grew up as the baby of my family with three older sisters and I definitely took notice. My deviant behavior of wearing my sisters stuff made me shiver with delight yet on the inside I felt wrong in a right kind of way. I have always played the straight guy while worshipping my corsets and panties knowing that I am full well a female on the inside. My feelings started around puberty and I thought it was strictly sexual but over the years it has more than dominated my thought. I freely gravitate towards anything feminine or of the opposite sex. Sometimes I think spending all of that time in the womb after three females had some strange effect on me...it did.

[Wendy_Marie]

My two older sisters and I didn't really get along to well...but i had a younger sister who helped me by playing dress up..etc.

[Rachel Mari]

I have 5 older sisters. The two older sisters were 18 and 16 when I was born and I really don't remember the younger of the two as she moved out at 18. The other three sisters were between me (I'm the youngest boy of 5 boys) and next older boy (10 years difference, then 12, 19 & 21 years between me and the other boys).
Those three sisters used to dress me up as I was a living doll to them and they had a lot of fun (so did I), but they stopped after my mother told them to knock it off. Later on I borrowed two of taller sistes clothes as they were the same height as me at the time. Three sisters are 70" tall and the other two are 64" tall.
The middle sister is the one that had the biggest influence on me. She was 5"10" and very independent and could've been a model. There were several occasions where she yelled at me to give her back her boots that I was wearing. She lives in TX now and only really get to see her every five years or so. I miss her being around.

[lesleybel]

I often wish I'd have had an elder sister.... but maybe that's just a common fantasy? Unfortunately, I'm the elder of two brothers.

[Debra Russell]

Yes I had three older sisters -- all pretty and I got to watch them dress and played dress up from time to time when I was very young, say 3-5 yrs old. I barrower thier panties once in a while - I loved being around them and thier friends - always had a thing for fuzzy sweaters and silky things................Debra

[sometimes_miss]

It wasn't a conscious decision on her part. I was simply envious of her. She was pretty, I wasn't. She was smart, had close friends, I didn't. Because of a minor physical deformity, I always felt my parents kept her 'out front and center' and hid me in the background. She was the honor student, I was barely average. And of course she was older, and as she out grew her clothes and they went into the attic for storage, they became my access to dressing up; as a young teen with feminine features (didn't reach puberty until late teens), with my long hair, I could 'probably' have passed; even dressed as a boy, I occasionally got the 'excuse me miss' remark (wow what a good/confusing feeling back then).

[Cheryl T]

Not an older sister, but a neighbor girl who was my age. I always envied the pretty dresses she would wear for Easter and other holidays. I did wish that I had had an older sister who's things I could borrow but that wasn't the case.

[windycissy]

My sister was a few years older and a total tomboy, I used to sneak into her closet to try on her clothes and I'll bet I wore her dresses and skirts more than she did!

[BLUE ORCHID]

I was the oldest of four a sister a brother and another sister No help there.

[Donna June]

My sister is 4 years older then me. She was pretty, folks said she looked like Natalie Wood. She went off to college, and left atleast half of her clothes at the house. When I had the house to myself it was delightful. I still remember some of her dresses, slips etc.

[Ressie]

I have one older sister that was into glamour most of her life. She was an influence since childhood.

Donna, my sister thought she was Natalie Wood when she had a mental episode. But she didn't look anything like N. Wood.

[CaitlynRenee]

I just wish I had my sister back. She was a year and a half older than I was and just a terrific person. A gem. I lost her to cancer in 2004. She was so absolutely non judgemental and understanding.

I really miss her..........................:sad:

[Kittyagain]

I have always thought, dressing in female clothes was triggered at a very early age by our parents relationship with females they have as children or know, such as a friend or neighbor. I suspect we witnessed them receiving praise that made us wish we were them to get the same praise.

It could be a perfect storm type situation that may have happened just once or often. Maybe we were just punished for doing something wrong then while still upset see a female get praised for her looks or something she has done.

Another source is some female being very kind to us again maybe after being punished for wrong doing by maybe our father.

Either way, I believe we want to get that same praise so at an early age and dressing like a girl seemed a logical answer.

Sorry to hear that, Caitlyn.

My older sis called me earlier today to say that she's waiting on a call from her doctor to get the results from an antigen test she had done. There's a cyst on one of her ovaries, and they don't know yet whether it's cancer or not. Regardless of the test result, they're going to take it out. I'm really worried about her. She never did call me back today. I got caught up with family stuff, and didn't think to call her until now. :sad:

I have two sisters, 10 and 11 years older than me, and when I was growing up there was very little close interaction, especially in regards to gender. They did not entertain the idea of dressing up their little brother (something I am disappointed about to this day), nor did they leave things lying around, encouraging me to experiment with “wrongness.” No, they treated me much like adults treat a child, doing all they could to bolster my boyishness – the family needed a boy, so my sisters never considered the idea of making me into a girl. As such, there was nothing to explore, or think about, and I had to gradually, painfully, work it all out for myself over time...

My oldest sister, who I still live with, introduced me to all sorts of ideas that come under the heading “alternative,” and, being an expert seamstress, she would make me a dress NOW, but not when I was a boy. It the atmosphere of the family, and the time (and circumstances) we were living in, I don’t think such delicious concepts “crossed” her mind – my sisters were very self-centered, having very little time for their brother, and this led to my loneliness and subsequent isolation within the family. My other sister is not a sensual being at all; in fact the idea of a boy dressing as a girl is way beyond her limited (conservative) comprehension...
:eek:

I had a older sister, and brother, my sister was a lot older than me, but when she was in high school, she belonged to an organization that had many formals events, and mom was pretty good with a sewing machine, and it seemed like she was always making by sister a new formal. Back then hoop skirts, crinoline full slips and loads of tulle. Great girdles, and long line bra's, even little white gloves, and great heels. The formals came in all those pretty colors, and all that satin, how could I not want to get my hands on them. She was small enough, and I was tall and lanky enough for my age, so when I had the house to myself, you know I had to try them on! What came first, sisters formals, or moms underwear, I'm not sure anymore, I don't know if I got in to there stuff because I was tempted by them, or if I was tempted by them because of what I am. Which came first, the chicken or the egg, you know what I mean.

I don't know if my sister really influenced me, she is about 2 years older and we were kids we were about the same size. What I do believe is that I don't think I could ever have worn my mother's clothes. Older and different style than the girls were wearing at the time. So just having her wardrobe at hand made it possible for me to experiment.
Love to all

[Sharon B.]

Like Cynthia Anne my older sister dressed me up when I was also four stop for about ten years and have been dressing ever since, just wish I could the weight that I put on when I got married, lost some of it when I got divorced but have gained it back.

[Maria 60]

I have a older sister, 7 years older. Growing up with my grandparents living with us i had to share a room with my sister. When she would get ready to go out i couldn't wait for her to go out so i would be able to wear her stuff. I think she knew that i was going threw her stuff because i couldn't fold her cloth the way she did.

[Robyn2006]

My other sister is not a sensual being at all; in fact the idea of a boy dressing as a girl is way beyond her limited (conservative) comprehension...
:eek:

Me too… One of my sisters is great and I have no doubt that if I came out to her, she'd be fine with it (after she stopped laughing). The other is like yours, Frederique, far too conservative to ever accept who I actually am. Hell, she's now actually waiting for the Rapture. Funny though, once upon a time she was the wild child in our family… was such a little teen vixen!

[Marcia Polari]

I come from a big family of 9 kids, 5 boys 4 girls.
I have two older sisters who were so much gorgeous when we were young.
One of then (who slightly reminded Liz Taylor) was on the fashion business as a model at that time.
I used to spent hours just looking to her walking on beautiful dresses and heels.
Never got into her clothes or shoes for sizes but I repeatedly said to myself, "when the day comes I'll do exactly the way she does".
And so it is.
Hugs,
Marcia

I am an only child and my teen years were from the mid 1950s. After primary school, there were only single-sex secondary schools. As a result, until I started to go to youth clubs and met girls in my mid-teens, my contact with the opposite sex was limited to family. There were, of course, girls of my age living around me and I saw plenty of girls in the street and on buses and trains on their way to school. I became intrigued with what they wore and what it might feel like to wear dresses, skirts, slips, stockings, etc. My opportunities for doing so, though, were extremely limited and my first experiences were with some of my mother's things - which were not really a good fit and also did not match the clothes and styles I saw girls wearing in the late 50s and early 60s. I have little doubt that, had here been sisters, I would probably have tried their things.

On the few rare occasions when I did manage to try on some teen girl clothes it had to be done - and undone - very quickly so I had little chance really to experience and enjoy the feelings.

[NicoleScott]

I have a sister a year and a half older. I kept my crossdressing private, even from her, but throughout most of my teen years we were the same size. That was great, having a closet-full of clothes and shoes just my size available to me anytime she wasn't around. Yes, she encouraged me, but she didn't know it.

[Jorja]

I have a twin sister and an older brother. My sister seemed to know about me from day one. We spent many hours playing dressup. As we got older we used to play jokes on each other. I would sign her up for the football team or for the boys baseball team. She always signed me up for the female leads in the school plays or something else for girls. Just last week she signed me up for a wet tee shirt contest.

[kassy]

Oh yes I had an older sister and loved the way she looked. I started wearing her clothes probably arround 12.. She caught me once but it was a non issue. I told there was party and she and a her friends helped me get ready. I loved it. I also learned a lot about make up then.

[Annaliese2010]

I would go to the clothes hamper and put on my older sisters bra & panties after her bf picked her up for a date. That way I knew it was safe and I had time. I loved smelling her panties b4 putting em on. She was dreamy. I respected and admired her she was so hot. I always fantasized sleeping with her. I'd also paint my toenails with her nail polish and smell her perfumes tho her natural 'perfume' was the sweetest. To this day my fave perfume is what she wore in high school, way back when I was in elementary school at the time. She's the only sibling who knows I'm TG-Lez and she approves. Sometimes we hang out or shop together. I'm me, Annaliese, when we do. She relates to me girl-to-girl. She doesn't know it..how I still have a huge crush on her. Respectfully so, BTW. I manage to hide it quite innocently. I'd never want to cause her stress or chance ruining our friendship even though it's plain to me how much she's attracted to me.

[Patti Remick]

I am the youngest of 3 with 2 older sisters that were 6 and 7 years older than me. My father travelled a lot on business and was away from home for days and even weeks at a time. When I was about 7 my mom went back to work full time. My mom always considered me a very 'grown up' little boy and felt I could take care of myself at home after school until my older sisters, and eventually she, got home. So from the time I was about 7 (c 1965) until well into my early teens I had plenty of afterschool 'home alone' time (this would be anywhere from 3-6 hours depending on when I got home and when my sisters did as they were very involved in aftershool activities). And for a young CDr our home was a paradise. My mother was a total pack rat (probably from growing up dirt poor herself) and kept almost all of my sisters old clothes from when they were younger. So I was home alone in a house filled with tons of perfectly fitting girls clothes. My father even had built a huge walk-in closet in our basement for my mother and sisters to keep their clothes in! My sisters had so much stuff - dresses, skirts, blouses, jumpers, even their old shoes! I wore their panties, tights, vests and training bras, and pantyhose. I wore almost everything of theirs that I could and by age 9 or 10 I was one of the best dressed little CDrs you could ever meet. Complete outfits head-to-toe, inside-out! And this was the 1960s and girls clothes were GIRLY. One of my sisters even had some wigs (she obviously was experimenting with her own looks) and they were just the icing on the cake for this little CDr. There were even ballet outfits and some skating dresses. I dressed almost daily from age 9 to about age 14 in perfectly fitting and age correct little girls clothes!! I am sure this is the reason for my preference for little girls and girls clothes, as opposed to womens clothes, today (I can and do dress my age but prefer the younger -much younger - look). Eventually my sisters grew older and moved out and eventually most of the clothes were gotton rid of. I was never 'caught' or anything but certain events would lead me to speculate that my sisters and mother may have suspected something - Im just not sure. I was always very carefull to put things back the way they had been in closets, drawers, etc., but doing this so often I never could be absolutely sure I covered my tracks. I think my best allie in stealth was the fact that my mother and sisters were so involved in their own lives they did not have time to really see what I was doing.

Love and hugs to all,
Patti Remick
