We had a function that we had to attend and wife said she didn't know what to wear,, I brought out a few dresses of mine and she wore one to the function,, two people came up to her to compliment her on the dress and both times she smiled at me,, on the way home she told me she liked it and it was going to be in her closet from now on,,,

Lol if you both wear the same size maybe there should be a joint closet. I can wear many of my wife's tops and some of her dresses. What I would love is if she wore a size 13-14 heel. She has some sharp looking ones but her shoes size is only an 7-8.

I feel your pain! My wife has 'borrowed' things of mine only to have her end adopting them. It makes me smile because I don't mind *that* much and she tells me that I have good taste in clothes. We have separate closets, so it has harder for clothing to 'drift' over to the other side. :)

I have offered to shop for her, but she still wants to do that herself.

She loans me jewelry, helps me with my hair, other things, so it evens out.

That is what you might call a "back-handed compliment". If I were you I would just buy another.

Well the good news is she must think you have good taste.

Now you know where to find it if you ever need it again.

I would now be wondering what I might borrow for the right occasion ( with her permission of course ) :D

In the future be sure to tell her where you bought it in case someone wants to know. Or, your wife can tell the person that her husband bought it (for her). My wife and I wear the same size dresses of one manufacturer/line. I see it hanging on her side of the closet everyday. I would love to try it on, but, I know she would not appreciate it at all.

Sounds like a total win to me. Now you have a reason to go buy a new dress! ;) With any luck, she'll want that one too and you can get another. Repeat ad infinitum.

My girlfriend does this to most weddings we go to now! She doesn't normally obscond my dress permanently, but she'll borrow it. I have to watch out more for casual clothes I have a few I haven't found since she wore them once.

When she takes something it bugs me a bit, but I honestly don't have the heart to say much because I am happy that they get good use!

My wife borrows from my stash, though less now that she has lost some weight. We had a chuckle the other day when I asked about a particular sweater she had borrowed from me two years ago. She remarked, "Oh, I'm still borrowing it."

I would love it if my GF could borrow my skirts, or me hers. She has given me items that are too big for her, and she has accepted some stuff I used to wear, and gotten too big for. I gave her a skirt the other day, I bought it knowing it would be too small as is, but I could modify it ( wrap skirt ) But I also had in mind that the fabric was something she would like, and so it turned out! I do have a favourite skirt that she has threatened to steal and take down to her size!

My SO is a bit smaller than me too so we do some of the same swaps as well.

You might ask your wife if you could borrow it back. I bought a new top; which turned out to be a little tight on my. So I suggested that my wife try it on, she did and said you is going to wear it to work tomorrow.

I was debating whether to confiscate a blouse my wife was sending to Goodwill, but she beat me to it and asked if I wanted it. I was shocked, thinking it was a taboo to her. I now have two of them in my wardrobe. As much as she dislikes my crossdressing, she still surprises me. Now If I can just wrangle more room in our closet for my clothes....

U r quite fortunate in a number of ways, CD1. My ex was a slim little thing when we married. But expanding greater during our 10 years together. When she moved out, she took all the moomoos but left a number of outfits from her showgirl days. I found I could squeese into some of them.:D

My wife borrowed one of my blouses one time and our (female) friend complimented her on it. I was waiting for my wife to say "Oh, it's Homer's" (not my real name).

So once in a while she will wear a blouse of mine or perhaps a dress or skirt. While we each have our own clothes, they are paid for out of the same funds and they are available to either of us whenever we want.

My late wife and I borrowed each others clothes all the time. We had a running argument over a LBD that we both claimed. all in fun tho.

Wow everyone is totally cool with this. I guess I'm one weird person. Cause if my wife would borrow something from me I two would be flattered, but if she claims it afterwards a storm would darken a clear blue sky.

My best friend in the 80's had a thing for buying colourful fleece jackets, his wife would see the new colour and "borrow" it. Unfortunately, she was about a 36 DD, maybe E, so they never looked right on him once they had adjusted to her shape. :)

my wife borrows my clothes all the time. We wear the same size so it's cool. She wishes we wore the same shoe size too. She looks a lot better in my stuff than I do.

I don't think you're weird Linda. I agree with you and would be a bit annoyed if my spouse were to claim something of mine. Share it, borrow it as much as you'd like or even ask me if you can have it... that's fine; but to claim something of mine is now yours? I don't think so.

I agree. She wouldn't want you claiming her favorite outfits, would she? I do agree with the others that sharing is probably the best policy, if you can make that work - twice the clothes for both of you!

My wife and I share the same sizes for everything, including shoes. It is strange to see her admiring my jeans with shining eyes - I had to give them as a gift -. In fact, I am happy when she picks some of my clothes...

The thought of my SO borrowing my clothes is pure fantasy.
The idea is hilarious for me.
She's 5.5 and I'm 6.0'. When i did ever try a stretchy skirt of hers one time years ago, she found out.

On a 'nice to have' scale, the fact that there are couples who can do borrow from each other and enjoy it is very dear.

Congrats also !

Thanks for the share!

That is a great story...thanks for sharing. But you do need to jokingly remind her that it's yours, right?
;o)

My wife and I have a great, long-lasting DADT relationship which works great because she travels often. Two years ago we had a funeral to attend which of course meant the requisite dark dress, black hose for her. She managed to put a run in her pantyhose before leaving the house and went to change, only to realize she had no more black PH's so she comes back down to the kitchen where I am having coffee and...you guessed it: 'honey, do you have any black hose'?

Of course, I did -but I told her they were stockings and not pantyhose so she would need to wear one of my girdles or garter belts and she said 'sure...that will work' so I went upstairs, gave her a nice Rago 6206 and a pair of new Berkshire Kicks non-stretch stockings which she quickly donned.

I have to admit it was sensually stimulating to know that my wife spent the afternoon in one of MY girdles and MY stockings. And BTW, she loved the stockings and subsequently, purchased some for herself to wear with a garter belt....

My wife travels a lot for work. One time she was in India for about a month and had brought tons of clothes so she wouldn't have to wash any while gone.

When she got back she was exhausted and her laundry sat for days. Then she got a call that she was needed immediately in her company's Los Angeles office. All of her work appropriate clothing was a wrinkled mess and all her undergarments were now dirty. She literally had an hour to pack before a cab would pick her up on a Sunday afternoon.

She started raiding my closet like a mad woman. Our height difference made it difficult, but she managed to find 3 skirts and a few decent top options. Then she raided my underwear drawer. I was like no way. Because I'm really not into that at all. In the end I let her take them as long as she replaced them.

It was funny to get a picture every day of her in her new work outfit.

I just spoke with my SO, Miss Girlfriend about this; she gets it that we refrain from wearing our wive's/girlfriend's things out of respect. She appreciates that effort on my part especially. But when I commented about how we somehow feel validated when they borrow our things, she said that we take it as a compliment. Since we are who we are, compliments are far and few between sometimes, so we take them where we can get them. Such a compliment from a spouse or SO can be a monumental esteem booster.

Ever & Always,
Caden Lane

Wife does not enjoy my clothes, if only as a home. My clothes relates to the low price category. Unlike her clothes

I'm a foot taller than my wife who is quite petite, especially in her waistline. Not much she could borrow from my wardrobe, even is she wanted to. As a bit of a sidebar, we were shopping together recently and discovered a few items we both wanted. When she asked why I didn't buy the same item in my size, I told her I preferred to give her first choice. She responded with "too bad we aren't the same size, we could share." I agreed that could be both practical and fun.

I too have had this happen. She comes out one day ready for work wearing a new top. So i am like, "thats a really nice blouse". She then responds with, "You should like it, it used to be yours". I still haven't seen it since :) But i guess its a fair trade

In the last 8-10 years, the only thing that I remember my wife borrowing is a bra. During one of my expatriate assignments in Taiwan, we were preparing to go to a company gathering. She was going to wear something that she had recently bought in-country, but realized that all the bras she had brought with her would show through. Just so happened that I had brought a lacy tan Olga stretch bra that was a perfect fit when I removed the extender. I don't recall that we have talked about it since...

Mimi and I share a lot of clothing. It makes me feel better that the clothes I buy get used more. Although we each have our own end of our closet there is no clear line of demarcation between them! :hugs:

My Girlfriend and I are almost identical in size, shes a little larger in the hips and waist but im a little larger in the stomach and shoulders. We're very similar in height, we both like shopping at the same few stores, and we have some similar tastes. We pretty much share all of our clothes now, although I have my own closet for mine and she has her own closet for hers, we're constantly borrowing eachothees clothes. She has more casual stuff and I have more formal dresses and skirts. She even uses my panties and my bras because my forms are very close to the size of her breasts. We both like this arrangement a lot.

I don't go out dressed but wife has borrowed a dress of mine to wear out. We just went to a wedding not to long ago and she wore a dress of mine that I had actually forgotten I had because my stuff had been packed away for awhile and she was hanging some of my things up and saw and it wanted something to wear. I didn't mind at all, with the difference in our heights it is long on her than me. I have worn some her dresses on occasion with her permission of course. A few years ago she wore my LBD out because she didn't have one and it was requested that all the gals going out this thing wear one. The LBD was pretty short on me but it fit her really a lot better than it fit me.

I know I'm fortunate to have a wife who is at least at times understanding of my desires and has at times actively participated and enjoyed this part of me. I don't see why if it works out size wise and everything spouses can't share things. I mean we are sharing almost everything else in our lives.

Back in the days of girlfriends and female housemates, we were always swapping clothes.

One time I had to wear a dress out as all my shirts and trousers had been borrowed.

There was a trend for girls to wear male clothing out and I had the only supply.

Borrowing a dress for the evening was the solution.

Oh! how sad. :)

Last week my wife and I were getting ready to go to eastern Washington for the weekend; which we knew that it was going to be hot. She asked my if I had any sun dresses, as she said it would be cooler than shorts and a top. I had a couple that I bought in Florida when we were there a few months ago. So she took them with us and wore them while we were gone. It is a good feeling when you are there and someone compliments her on how cute her dress is.

My wife just gave me a really nice INC top that she did not wear. I did not think it would fit since she is 5ft 2 and i'm 5ft6-7. It was a bit snug but fit and looks awesome.
