For those who CD in front of others...

[Krististeph]

For those of you who CD in front of your wives, family, or friends:



Do you have any outfits that you are still too shy to wear in front of them?

If so:

1: What is the outfit?
2: Why do you feel this way?



1) Here is one of mine:
a. 1: see pix

2: It looks a bit too girly, kind of overboard- more connotations of only a fetish.



I know it is kind of silly to worry about it, but I would wager that most of us CD feel this at one time or another.

What say?

Not so much anymore. I try to dress appropriate for the situation, and most of the time, that seems to be pretty casual...knit tops and jeans. I've got a closet full of dresses and skirts that seldom see the light of day.

[Victoria Vermilliana]

I have a short halter dress that I don't like to wear in front of people. It's a little too...(in my opinion) revealing. I love wearing it around my house, but outside, or when family's here, nope.

[Cheryl T]

Not anymore ... my wife has seen me in everything I have. She's usually the photographer so sometimes she'll suggest something. We've run the gamut from bustier/hose/heels to formal gown and everywhere in between.
As for others... I don't have anything that I would not wear out. I used to buy things just because they were sexy or something, but now I only spend money on items that I can wear out so that they don't sit in the closet like so many things did for so many years.

[Melissa Anne]

My wife is very supportive and she see's me every time I dress. I don't really have any outfits that I wouldn't want her to see me in. One thing she has drawn the line on though is seeing me in any type of "overly sexy" lingerie like a bustier or teddy. She has seen me many times in my bra, panties and nylons etc... but I respect her wishes on the other stuff. Don't want to loose her support!

[suchacutie]

As cute as it may be, my shortest shirt (incredibly short) was the first item of clothing my wife ever bought for me. For us, the whole idea is to find out who Tina is by letting her have her life...all of it. So, what Tina wears in the house for the two of us is unlimited.

Outside of the two of us, Tina is more conservative and prefers to blend. Hmm, just occurred to me that Tina is really very proper when it is more than just Tina and her best girlfriend.

[Princess_Andria]

Only when i first met my girlfriend wasi shy to wear anything in front of her, but that quickly changed =P all i know is that if we do get married i will be very shy then. We are both being brides for the wedding and funnily enough it was her idea lol

Andria x

[Michelle James]

Not that much really. I guess if I had to pick something it would be dresses. She never wears one and I fell it would be odd to be the only one.

[Salene]

I dress for the situation, when I'm out clubbing with friends I tend to wear.... sexy clothing and when I perform drag it's obviously over the top. These things stay tucked away when my family is around. For them it's girl jeans and t-shirts.

[Jacqueline Winona]

Love the picture! Sadly, my wardrobe is too small to have anything that I would be embarrassed to wear anywhere. :)

[STACY B]

YEA ALL THE STUFF i STOLE FROM UM IN THE PAST !!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!! Its mine,,, mine,,, All ,, mine ,,,

[monalisa]

That is a beautiful wedding gown. You should wear that and be proud.

[sue1965]

I try to dress appropriately for whomever is around. I do have some very short dresses and mini skirts that can be very revealing so Those are only worn when no one is around.

[Julia_in_Pa]

When I was attending a trans support group there were a few cross dressers that would dress as though I was going to pay them to go to a cheap motel.
We would go to a very nice eatery prior to the meeting.
They were both an embarrassment and a abomination to anything having to do with being a female.
Do yourselves a favour and don't embarrass yourselves like that.
Dress appropriately for the occasion.
If those that I mentioned were going to a porn actors convention then they would have been dressed correctly.

Hi,

I spos you could say i dress in a way that is becomeing of myself as a woman age wise, & how i like to dress,

I can go any were, with Jos our daughter & her 4 kids, meet many people & take pics or have mine taken & am happy to show them any were, being comfortable in my self is the key, tho i prefer takeing the pics rather than of my self, a little bit of being selfconscious still hangs around,

...noeleena...

[BillieJoEllen]

My wife, daughter and sister-in-law seem to always be talking about fashion. I can assure you that there are things that they have in their closets that they won't wear in front of others (including me).

[Sissy Michelle]

I have what i woud describe as a "sexy wardrobe" and a "everyday wardrobe". I spend most of my time in female jeans, t shirts, skirts, peeptoe slippers ( if im at home) with painted nails etc. On "sexy evenings" with my wife it is however more "provocative" ;)
i wear most of the "everyday things" infront of the kids and they are cool about it, but i wouldnt go so far as to wear a dress infront of them....i dont know why really, maybe i think its pushing my luck a little to far :)

[Jessica86]

I do have some things that my wife doesn't like to see. These things she has never seen on me. Two things....a bronze color short skirt and a black wet look skirt that I got a LONG time ago. Now that I have grown taller, they are REALLY short! I don't blame her. I'm more about trying to look beautiful in "normal" clothes.

Krististeph,

I say that I have felt the same way as you. Realistically there isn't much difference in going out of the house in a dress and heels as opposed to a skirt and shirt/blouse with heels but sometimes the dress feels just too much over the top or over dressed for places like Best Buy or the grocery store. (I know, I lead an adventurous life but clubs weren't for me before I discovered dresses. :D )

Julia,

How did you and/or your group handle the embarrassingly abominable porn actors? Almost all groups I've looked into pretty explicitly forbid that sort of thing as well as any "mixed" presentation in their by-laws.

[Julia_in_Pa]

As a group we let them enjoy their dinner by themselves.
It wasn't in the by-laws to the best of my knowledge to not allow such.

the wife does not like to see me wearing stuff with too clevage showing ...It pisses her off because my boobs are bigger than hers ...

I think it is a shame that it would have to be addressed in by-laws. I know you will get some dressed to the extreme if you don't say anything, but I also think that if it is appropriate for the group and the intended setting, that it is okay to say ahead of time that there is a reasonable expectation of dressing within a certain set of boundaries when going out as a group. Yes, we need to be accepting. But we also need to be courteous of those that are with us and our surroundings.

[Cristi]

I have a few things that honestly I'm too old for... very short skirts, low-cut tops, almost see-through lace blouses. I tend not to wear these unless I'm alone.

More and more though, my wardrobe has become 'age appropriate' so almost everything in it is what you'd expect a woman of my age to be wearing in public.

I used to be shy around my wife while actually getting dressed and would 'cover up' as quickly as possible, but now I can get distracted while only partially dressed (bra, panties, hose) and do things like make my morning coffee before getting around to finishing dressing.

[Beverley Sims]

To Julia,
This is the hotel you are looking for.
It is in Hong Kong
HK$= 7.3 to US$ 1

[Michelia]

Nope... my son helps me sometimes with my bra or my skirt zipper or what not. Whatever the look. Even really sexy stuff. But I am never ****ty... I think.

[Lorileah]

Oh yes I have outfits I won't wear in public.
