The perils of being dressed in public

[Nicky63]

Some years ago I went to the local shooping centre dressed in boy jeans and Tshirt but underneath thong and hold ups. some time into my shopping trip I noticed something catching on my ankle as I was walking and was horrified to see my hold ups were now hanging around my ankles and on view to all, Horror!
Luckily I was not to far from the toilets so I hastily locked my self in a cubicle and removed the offending items... That I learnt is the peril of unshaven legs.
Some what embarrasing and I wonder if any one noticed.
Have any of you ladies had similar experience with items of clothing letting you down in a public place?

Oh, can anyone tell me why my profile picture does not show on my posts?

I had exactly the same wardrobe malfunction years ago at work. Don't think anyone noticed my funny looking socks! I attributed it to a lack of feminine thighs.

Don't know if this was a clothing failure- but i was wearing panties at work, this was a weekend OT project converting some medium heavy equipment. My partner starting giving me lots of crap later about being girly-boy, so I figured the panties had slipped out. He was the kind of guy, not really a redneck, but loud, crude, prettymuch a "guy" all around. I figured he'd out me, but he never did. But the next weekend job I mentioned this and asked, he said he liked working with me because we got shit done and i did 'wuss out' on him, and we worked out problems good as a team-- covering each others weaknesses. Evidently he didn't care if somebody he know CDd, as much of a bruiser as he was, and pulling my own weight was worth way more to him than what i wore under my clothes.

I gave as good as i took though, and the rest of the group never figured out how he an I got along so well. Hey, he was a hard worker too.

Then there was the time I flashed the main highway traffic when i bent over to look for the keys i dropped in the car, while i was wearing a cute short ruffled 'cowgirl' skirt... My wife loved that one.

But perhaps the one that sticks out most to me, was when i went to get a wedding dress:
Ostensibly for halloween, I made an appointment for one morning- just looking at seconds- not to spend too much. Carmen, the owner of the small shop was great. She hung up a half doze dresses, I tried them on.
Now, I was wearing thigh high holdups under my pants, but after narrowing down the choices to just 2 dresses, I knew i needed help zipping this last one up.

Carmen asked how I was doing through to door, and I started to ask her in to zip up the dress for me, but then i realized i had the stockings on, "Just a second" I asked, then quickly rolled them down and into my socks, as I was afraid she might see them somehow (silly, I know). I asked her in, and she asked me if i found anything. Told her I liked this one, but could she zip it and see if it actually fits. She did so, and looked over the dress on me. She said she liked it, and went about fluffing and draping the skirt to fall nicer. Spend some time tugging at the waist, looking it over.
As Carmen said again "I think it looks nice on you", I thought i noticed a little change in her demeanor, a little less professional, a little warmer.

Then the phone rang, and she excused herself with "I have to take this call."

I bent down and pulled the hose back up to enjoy the feeling for a few minutes, then reached back to undo the zippier. But only halfway to reaching behind my neck, the sleeved got VERY snug, I could not undo the zipper. Now I was stuck in the dress, waiting for Carmen to get back. I spent the time looking in the mirror, playing with the gown & looking about the fitting room. I suddenly noticed that there was a small gap under the zipper and above the derriere, it looked like it was for something to do with fitting the dress. But in plain view, I could see the of my seafoam green satin panties!

Oops. :-)

The elastic gave way in a pair of panties I was wearing, they fell down, I stepped out of them, hooked them up in the air with my toe, caught them and put them in my bag.
A lady coming the other way said I wish I could do that luv, it looked like you do it all the time.
I smiled and went on.

This just happened yesterday.... I live about 45 minutes from Ocala in a remote part of the Forest. I went for a drive completely dressed with wig and with eyeshadow.. (to my great sadness though... I am not passable). While driving downtown, and wishing I could just go into the Starbucks... I all of a sudden had a strong urge that I had to pee. I started to think about my options... as the pressure kept building. I couldn't see myself going into any of the stores I could think of... and started heading back to the Forest where I thought I could pull off the road in a secluded spot. I have never in my life had to go that bad... and I was sure that I was going to let go in the car. All along the road out of town, I kept looking at different places where I might go in.... but couldn't bring myself to do it. I finally reached the edge of the Forest, and spotted the parking lot for a beginning of a hiking trail.. I pulled in so fast to a quite place with my door to the woods, and right there was a small clearing through the woods (not the marked trail). I made a dash into the woods trying to get hidden from the road that went by, and the parking lot. I pulled my skirt up, and trying to hide, sort of crouched down to pee... (rather than male mode of just standing there!). I was finally able to begin to relieve myself... and then I heard voices.. you got it... two or three older men were walking along the trail, and it went right by where I was by about 20 ft. They couldn't help but see, but the way I was crouching, I believe I did look female. Things got quite.. but fortunately they kept walking along... I know they saw me... I was looking just over my shoulder and could see them look over at me... Thank God they weren't "good ol boys".....
As traumatic as it was at the time... after they moved on... the whole situation became suddenly exciting.

I usually wear pantyhose under my jeans, and only in the past year have I been going without socks. (Except for work, where sitting in an office full of people I have to spend 10 hrs a day with prevents me from exercising that freedom.) Anyway, I'll just wear tennis shoes and most of the time the cuffs of my jeans are down far enough nobody notices. But occasionally the cuffs might not completely slip back down after getting out of my car, and several times I've discovered I have about a 2"-3" gap between my jeans and shoe tops. I have noticed several people staring at my ankles. Last time it was a woman behind me in the checkout at Walmart, where intermixed in my groceries and such was a few pair of pantyhose, so she may have put 2+2 together. But truthfully, while I don't purposely flaunt that I've got hose on under my clothes, I can't say I care at all if strangers notice.

I guess there are a lot of things I don't know about womens attire :o , but are hold ups? are they like garters?

[AllieSF]

I stood up from my chair in a restaurant and my skirt slipped down to table level. The person I was with pointed out the problem and I sat down quickly and reaching behind my back found out that the zipper had opened causing the skirt to slip down. Easy fix and a quick glance around the room and no one was staring nor snickering. That was a close one. Speaking of having nature call at the wrong moment, about a year after I first started going out I was in another city waiting for a friend to get home from work so that we could go out. I was not yet totally comfortable being anywhere at any time and I really had to go. As someone said above, it would not level off but got worse as I tried to find a place to go. I was not yet ready to go into a public place alone yet. I finally found a small alleyway behind an apartment complex and parked next to a car and relieved myself. I was really worried about not just being seen by someone but also someone taking advantage of the situation and assaulting me. In the end everything worked out fine. Having the confidence to go out now like I do, that situation should hopefully not happen again.

It was a long time ago I was at a store shopping and a bra strap let go with a loud snap.It hurt like hell so I flinched the lady next to me said I hate when that happens LOL are you OK dear?

[LovelyLeesa]

And thanks to Nicky63, I realized that I needed to give my thigh high hold ups a second chance now that I have started shaving my legs. They actually stayed up! All night. I am beyond excited! Thank you!

I wear flat heeled boots in public most of the time. At times when walking I can feel one of my thigh high's sliding down into my boot.
I know then it's time to replace the bad one. I've also had it happen wearing my athletic walkers.

[Nicky63]

Hi Arbon, they are just like stockings but instead of the suspender belt, each stocking leg has a slightly rubbery inside surface at the top which (theoretically) stops them sliding down, If you have smooth skin.

I went to a yoga class once with very frilly panties underneath. Apparently they showed through my gym shorts while doing downward facing dog. My yoga teacher, in this case an older woman, gasped as she walked by.

Well I like to sleep in my girl clothes. One night I was sleeping in a bra and a top when my wife woke me up about 3 am. She had heard a noise at our appartment window. I got up to check it out. Some guy was trying to break into our apartment. I put on some pants grabbed a bat and went out there. I expected the guy to run away when I approached him. However, the guy was high and started to talk to me about how it was his friend's apartment. Meanwhile my wife had called the police. That's when I realized that I hadn't removed my top and bra. All my neighbors were peeping out their windows at the commotion. Thankfully my wife brought out a flannel for me so that when the police arrived I wouldn't be embarrassed. Unfortunately I think all my neighbors know now. So, word of advice, keep extra clothes next to your bed in case of emergency like an earthquake, burglary, or whatever.

The one time I tried thigh highs (hold ups) they failed before I left the bedroom - even with freshly shaved legs.

In a similar vein, I once watched my business partner happily marching up the concourse at John Wayne Int'l trailing the better part of a roll of TP from a pant leg.

Maybe O should quit while I'm ahead if this is what I have to look forward to. Its only a matter of time. sigh.

My first time out, I went shopping at Target for some accessories. I found a great pink sunhat that I really liked, tried it on, and actually wore it over to checkout. I went to try and remove it since it had a tag, and it snagged my wig and started to pull it off. I was in a panic but resisted the urge to pull any more, and carefully undid the hair from the hat, and was able to present it at checkout none the worse for wear. Actually gave me confidence for further outings that I could handle wardrobe disasters!

[Jorja]

Yes, quite embarrassing today. You will laugh like crazy in years to come.

[me]

Whoops, I guess live and learn.

[angie]

That's scary! I'm strictly closet and do lots of things wearing stockings under jeans or pants. I've had so called "hold ups" slide down too, but not all the way a you describe. That's why I alwas wear stretch sockings with a garterbelt. I use a wide six strap belt that is very comfortable for al day wear, and the gentle massage on t thighs from gartered stockings is really pleaant.

Hi Nicky, I've never had that problem with pantyhose.

[melanieee]

I had a wardrobe malfunction flying a couple of years ago.The flight left at 6 am, I was up at 3 am to shower and catch the shuttle bus at 4 am to the airport.
Caught the plane ok, walking through the airport to baggage claim with all the other passangers when a lady walking beside me said "excuse me, your'e having trouble with your underwear." I looked down thinking my fly was open and noticed my old panties half way out of the leg of my jeans. When I got dressed at 3 am I didn't notice or feel them in the leg of my pants. I have no idea how many people saw them or when they appeared over my shoe. Some people would have chuckled but I'm sure no one knew me.

A very LONG TIME AGO, before I knew that Cding existed, I was working on a construction job. I felt something odd at my ankle. Looking down I saw a white thing. Thinking it was a kitchen rag from a common load of laundry, I pulled it out. It was a pair of white lacy panties, my wife's. I quickly waddes them up and stuffed them in my pocket. Looking around, I was relieved that no one saw. There would have been hell to pay! BTW at that time and for years after I never even considered CDing.

Last month I was out enfemme in a new outfit with an elastic waistband skirt. I had gone in to a CVS drugstore after climbing out of my truck. About halfway down the aisle, a woman in tha adjacent isle called out: "Maam, your skirt is falling down!" Looking down I noticed that my skirt was half way down my thighs, exposing my half slip. I quickly whipped up that skirt and in my best femenine voice thanked her.

What I have learned from this:
An experienced lady checks herself over after every significant manouver for any possible malfunction.

Getting called "Maam" by a GG was very satisfying.

................ So, word of advice, keep extra clothes next to your bed in case of emergency like an earthquake, burglary, or whatever.

Good advice. I usually don't answer the door if I'm dressed, but the other day the doorbell rang and it was the termite inspector and I knew I would have to let him into the back yard. I had a couple things out but it still took me two or three minutes to make the switchover. After he left I realized that I was still wearing a pretty feminine ring but who cares.

My ex wife (long long ago) was pretty flat chested so she wore her padded bra to bed "in case of a fire".

[Lacyfem]

I love thigh highs but yes have had problems keeping them up so when I've been out which is not too often I don't take the chance and I wear pantyhose instead. Little more difficult when having to go to the bathroom but don't have to pull up my thigh highs all the time.

[Sharon B.]

I had went to the grocery store wearing thigh highs under some woman's jeans on shaved legs and they slipped down. Now only pantyhose for me.
