It is a Beautiful Thing: First Dress Up

[jim1991]

So lately I have been the person who was in the closet and forgot where I was. Until now, after telling my SO, a few shopping trips, and spending some money on the startup costs tonight was the first night I got all dressed up completely. Only thing that was missing was shoes.

The SO has come to terms with it and for a brief moment I was like this may not end so well. Lucky me she sided with me and went with me on some of those shopping trips. Now she is threatening to wear my clothes and steal my makeup...

Back to tonight, I got all dressed up, my SO did my makeup and afterwards I was speechless. I haven't been that happy in awhile (especially with the stroke of bad luck I have been having). The feeling was surreal for me at least. I loved every second so much I did not want to take it off right after I put it on. I felt like woman but felt like a man and nothing was wrong with that. That not really hit my as I started to take off the makeup one side at time. Looked kinda like two face but it reflected something much deeper.

But I normally don't take pictures but I just couldn't help myself. Granted there is a long way to go but for the first time...I think the SO and I did pretty good.

I would like to introduce my femme facet...Alexis. Here are some pics


Please share your experiences.

[Beverley Sims]

Alexis,
I shared you wonderful experience in your writing.
You have a lovely presentation and your SO is someone to be treasured.
I hope the rest of your journey is an enjoyable one

[jim1991]

She is definitely someone i plan on keeping but she is still adjusting. Somethings she still feels uncomfortable with. Small victories lead to larger ones

[*Amelia*]

She definitely sounds like a keeper to me. And WOW! You look gorgeous in your pics! First time equals win!

[traci_k]

Alexis You've done well. You look so adorable and sweet in the first pic - I Luv it! All the pics are great though.
And your SO is a keeper.
The Best to You Both!
Hugs,

[Rachelakld]

Well done both of you, with that look I hope you get out and about

[Jolene Robertson]

You're a lucky girl, and look fabulous. Now go get some shoes girl.

Hugs
Jolene

[TeresaCD]

Yes Alexis, you look gorgeous! Glad things went well - thanks for sharing it with us

[Erica Marie]

Hello Alexis. You are very pretty. Luv your hair and make up. And you look so stunning in that black dress.

[stephNE]

WOW, you look great, and it all progresses and gets better and better! Please keep us posted!

[Julie Denier]

Congrats, Alexis! The first time dressing head-to-toe is exhilarating, isn't it? It definitely won't be your last -- enjoy practicing! ;)

[Kristyn Hill]

You look awesome!

Shoes just came in this morning. I don't know about the whole going out in public in femme but I had a great time. GF was a little mad this morning that I was up so late last night.
I am going to wait a little bit and before I dress again because the GF isn't completely used to it but I can't wait to complete it with shoes.

Alexis, there is no feeling like that of coming out to your SO. I love that my wife borrows my things as I am sure you will. It's kind of like vicarious cross dressing. My advice is to not go nuts about this. TALK to your wife out what cross dressing is to you and make sure she is as comfortable as she can be with it. Answer all of her questions with complete honesty. You are building a new foundation, make it strong.

Cute LBD by the way, but watch V necks, I can see your bra or cami underneath.

[jim1991]

Thanks , we have been talking about it and opening lines of communication as much as possible.

[Jaylyn]

Wow you do look great and bet you are proud you made a step. Tell your wife that my wife also supports what I do. I try and not make her nervous and you shouldn't either take small steps and move forward. It can feel like you need to hurry and get every thing bought at once, but slow down and shop some with your wife and tell her what you like. She can also tell you what she enjoys and you make an effort to see she gets that enjoyment also...no matter what it is. Just love each other in this and go into with that love in your heart for each other. My wife and I have had many fantasies we have tried and each has made us stronger for each other. I am not politically correct I guess I should have said SO but I am old so please over look it....lol Enjoy the cross dressing it is addictive.

[Lady Catherine]

Congratulations on this wonderful step forward for you. Well done.

[Alice B]

First of all, you look great and the feelings you experenced are something very special. Having you SO accept and help makes it all the more exciting. Have fun and enjoy the ride.

[AllieSF]

You look wonderful. I very rarely think that a very blond wig looks good on one of us. I must say that this time you look to me like a very natural blond with your fair skin and pleasant face and look. I would eventually look for one that does not shine so much because of the flash or bright lights. I also like your first dressed up look. You make it work for you very well.

I remember clearly my first time fully made up, wig, clothes, shoes and makeup, and even false eye lashes (the only time I ever tried them). When complete I looked in a little hand held mirror and could not believe the wonderful transformation. I wasn't looking at the details of the bad makeup job, the ratty blond wig that definitely was not my style, nor the outfit, whatever that was. I was looking at my face transformed into that of an almost woman and I loved it. I had a smile on my face from that moment on and for the next month every time a dressed. That smile returns often even though that initial rush of wonderment is long gone. That is what keeps me coming back for more. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Fully Dressed Club.

[dallasmann]

Wow, you're really pretty. Lucky SO! ;)

[Stephanie47]

You look absolutely fabulous. I love the pic of you in the black dress. Every woman should own a 'little black dress.' I would not push her recent acceptance. Let her lead the way. Going out in public may be more than she may feel comfortable with. It's the societal pressure. I would suggest, if the conversation arises, that you and her get dolled up in sexy 'little black dresses' and go out on Halloween. Be aware the luster may wear off and she may cool to the entire idea. Be sure to separate the man from the woman. That's my personal advice.

[punkypunk]

Lookin good. Congrats on a big step :-)

[kimdl93]

That's a remarkable efforts experience to share with your SO. Don't be frightened by the feelings. Over time, your may find that the time you spend dressed gets a bit longer and the reluctance to go back to drab gets a little stronger. That's ok as long as you stay in synch with your SO. Enjoy spending time dressed with her, but stay tuned for those time when she might just as soon have you in drab.

[Bonnie Stone]

Looking Good, really like the black dress.

[MsJanessa]

I would like your wife to come to my house and do my makeup

[MssHyde]

love the dress! very nice look! your blessed to have an understanding wife!

[AmyGaleRT]

Wow, Alexis, are you sure this is your first time? You have a very cute face and a great figure. The black dress works well for you, you have the shoulders and arms to wear sleeveless well. The wig is cute but it's a bit shiny, you may want to look for a better one. Blonde does suit you, though. You may want some extra padding, and forms, to fill out that dress a little better. And, of course, accessorize! :) And just wait till you start looking at shoes...;)

Oh, I can tell it won't be long before you're ready to hit the town! You go, girl! And never forget to tell your SO how much you love and appreciate her.

- Amy

[jim1991]

Thank you everyone. As far as the wig goes I am already planning on getting a new one but in a few weeks.

[Jennifer Marie P.]

You are so pretty.

[windycissy]

Alexis, you're a knockout! Your SO may feel a little bit threatened by your femininity? It is pretty amazing...you're lucky to have her to share this with, just make sure you reward her understanding with love and consideration as she deals with having a boyfriend who makes a really cute girl. Tell her she has the best of both worlds: a soft, sweet guy who understands what it's like to walk in her shoes.

[GothicEmily]

Wow, you look fabulous! Congratulations!
