Beautiful Feminine Feeling Wearing Girly Clothes

[JaniceP]

I started dressing in the softest girly clothes I could find, at Age 5!

Got into my moms lingerie dresser, found the cutest, nylon half slip and thought it was just the right fit for me! Can you believe a 5 year old would think of such a thing?

Would sneak into her things whenever she was out. I graduated to Bras (Bet I was the only 7 year old Boy who could fasten his Bra from reaching behind), the most gorgeous pastel full slips with ALOT of pretty ruffles coming up from them hem. So soft, pretty and the coolness of it floating over my arms and down my body is a chill I'll Always try to attain-------------The ultimate High!

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Janice:hugs:, That kind of sounds like my story 69yrs ago.:daydreaming:

[docrobbysherry]

Similar to Blue, I discovered those deliteful fabrics and feeling, too.

Only I was nearly 50 years older than u!:brolleyes:

[Rabecca]

Well put..

[StacyCD]

That's how I started as well. Also, a loooong time ago!

[windycissy]

So true, we sometimes tend to fly off on all sorts of tangents here, but the core that unites us is the joy we derive from wearing those wonderful, forbidden clothes!

[Megan Nicole]

Sounds way too familiar. Many of us on this site can identify with your story. Funny thing.

[MissDanielle]

I know the feeling all to well. The sweet feeling of the nylons against my legs...

[Brandy Mathews]

Janice,
I think that a lot of us grew up like that, I know that I did. And no, I could fasten my bra that way too, still can, but prefer front opening bras better. And yes, I do remember the slips too, so sensual, feminine. I own a few of them even now. And even though they are not needed under dresses these days, I do like to wear them under my dresses.
Hugs,
Bree :)

The urge came before the dressing for me and when i finally gave in i was hooked .One dress is all it took

[Jane G]

Well we seem to have total agreement on this one. Must have been 50 years ago. But could have been yesterday. One smooth silky slip was all it took. I'm still a clip at the back girl, when it comes to my bras.

[Jenniferpl]

So taboo....yet so comfortable.....so many on this site enjoy a similar history....part of what binds us together.

[lingerieLiz]

Yes Yes Yes While panties were the first item I soon graduated to a strapless sundress. Once I tried slips there was no stopping me. My sisters helped teach me about bra hooking. Ironically one of my girlfriends gave me a class on how to hook my bra and put the girls in the right place. I can still remember wearing petite coats and strutting around the house getting ready for my first date. Unfortunately I had to change to guy clothes.

[Karren H]

I must have been a late bloomer... At 7. Lol. But I became a prolific "borrower" over time. Still amazes me all from whom I "borrowed" from. Didn't help that the local girls used to play a game called "catch a boy and put a dress on him" . I wasn't the slowest runner but I got caught way more than anyone else. 😍

[Robin414]

I was apparently into nylons (under dressing?) when I was 2 but I totally purged at 5 (had to stay focused on my kindergarten studies 😉). Picked it up again in my 20's but only for a short time. But NOW, wow...and thank you Long Tall Sally! 😀

[paulaprimo]

very interesting... i'm another one who got into my mother's stuff over 50 years ago.
its a shame it was soooooo taboo back then.

[debbie409]

yes very similar story as well, going back about 50 years.
i was about 4 or 5 and can remember a heavenly, secure wonderful feeling and a strange stirring in my loins when i put on my mothers slip and nylons.
those beautiful ultra feminine slips from the 50's-60's which i still have an incredible passion for today, truly the forbidden fruit.
what puzzles me to this day is what attracts a 4-5 year old to sexy lingerie? its truly a matter of genetic hard wiring i guess.

[Karren H]

You mean it's not now?? I must have missed the memo. Someone forward that to my wife please! Lol

[Stephanie47]

I just knew without checking that you are a senior. How? When you mentioned "pastel full slips with ALOT of pretty ruffles." Dabbling in my mom's lingerie draw with those pretty slips had a direct influence on my style. I do not own one pair of women's clothing that have legs. No jeans, no pants, nada. My full slip collection is over 400. I'm a sucker for nylon full slips.

PS> I have to agree with Karen. Although there may not be masses outside the gate with pitchforks, there is very little acceptance. There may be tolerance, as in NIMBY, but, there still is no "acceptance."

[St. Eve]

Yes!

I know I was already dressing by 7. Had worn every piece of my mom's clothing by age 10.
I knew enough to never tell anyone. Forty years later, my spouse knows, my best friends know, my brother knows and I am preparing to tell my mom. One of my friends has met EvaLyn a couple of times. My SO is terrified of meeting EvaLyn. At the same time she supports me becoming who I truly am....no more secrets.
I am looking forward to more time with friends....

Peace,
EvaLyn

[Stephj]

I waited till age 8 before sneeking into my sisters room and trying on her bra and panties did this for about a year till my mom caught me wearing them one day she said boys don't wear them go caught 2 months later again by mom told her I like wearing them we talked about it so off to the store we went had $20.00 of allowance saved up bought a black bra and 2 pair panties black and blue had to take to the register and pay for them myself now I am 51 still doing it can't stop really don't want too love the feeling of a bra

LoL :daydreaming:

[Isabella Ross]

Moments like this are still fresh in mind, 40 plus years later. The pleasure morphed into shame and self-loathing for a few decades, but I'm guiltlessly enjoying the same sensations today.

[MissDanielle]

It always starts with getting into our mother's clothing, doesn't it? I can't explain the how or why's about it but I just had this urge to try on her clothing one day like something just clicked in my head. Over the years, I would wear her pumps/heels and walk in them for a bit because I didn't have a stash and none of her other clothing made me feel sexy and femme inside. Repressing it over the years has been the roughest...I would lash out at other people as a result because I had to hide who I really was inside.

The pink fog clouded my mind so much this week that I seriously thought I was transgender and needed to start transitioning. I spoke to a friend in the psych field and they just said that I was a crossdresser rather than someone who really is a woman stuck in the wrong body. After many years, I've finally come to accept that this is who I am. I just wish I could be more open about it in society. But no, it's still a taboo and after talking with several friends, IT IS NOT A CHOICE. It's how we're wired inside.

[Robin777]

I agree with Miss Danielle, It's the way we are wired. There is no other explanation for it. It's the only explanation for why I do it.

[girltime]

Not often enough I will dream that I am wearing a dress, and I will awake with the most peaceful feeling- that lasts all day.

[melissa247]

I can't remember a time I didn't wear woman's clothes.I started with my sister's pink tights..I have sisters and of course a mother..so it was a great deal of temptation that i truly caved into.I now have a complete wardrobe that i continue to add to as well as trying to fem my body more so i looke more ladylike..but nothing feels as awseome to me then being dressed and walking in my heels.

What a lovely introduction to dressing as a girl wearing your sisters pink tights. I wish I had been brought up with sisters.

[melissa247]

thank you Nannette,I actually loved them and wore them all the time,,i was so young I was just out of diapers i believe,but as much as my mom scolded me and told me no..i would find them and wear them all around the house..I was eventually banished from wearing anything again..but i still snuck here and there..so it wasn't all fun and games..I remember getting a skirt on christmas one year..and looked at my mum and dad and smiled and said"it's just what I wanted"my mum said"that isn't yours hun,the tags must have gotten mixed up"then handed me a different present to open while everyone tried to ignore the elephant in the room..haha..I have always been a girl at heart.

[EllieMayxxx]

I can relate. My mother never had slips but bras and panties were what got me started at 7 years old. Im now almost 19. I would love to have some but my current situation won't let me.

[Just4me]

I love it we are all cut from the fabric sewn with the same thread its so awsome to read your tells and mine to be within each one so many years of enjoying my taboo secret finally someone knows and accepts it wants nothing to do with it thats ok it just 4 me

[Sharon B.]

I done the same thing only it was my older sister's things, I finally started buying my own stuff when I turned 18 and have been buying and wearing it ever since.

[flatlander_48]

You mean it's not now?? I must have missed the memo. Someone forward that to my wife please! Lol

The vagaries of E-mail. It was retracted 1.5 seconds after it was sent, leaving only a Cosmic Wink in its wake...

Anyway, for me it was shoes, nylons and bras. I was maybe 9-10...

I was born in '47.
Imagine all that ultra feminine '1950s lingerie and fashions that I had to choose from that my mom and older sister wore. :)

[MissDanielle]

My mom miscarried a daughter before I was born so I missed on trying on all those clothes :(

[Karen RHT]

Born in '47 myself, and can so relate to this post in particular, and thread in general. :)

[EllieMayxxx]

I love the 1950s era. The way everything looked was awesome. Sometimes i wish I could go to that period in time and experience it. I also love the women's clothing from that time too, so beautiful.

[Beverley Sims]

I liked bras and yes you described early sensations of dressing quite accurately.

[Tami Joy]

Started with moms panties then she found out an it was o.k. but had to wait to get my own bra at 15 then the other clothes started coming after 46 of dressing still love the nylon the best.

[Athena_]

Started young also. The hamper was in the only bathroom in the house. I remember trying on everything I could find in the hamper, but especially loved the slips and bras. I graduated to mom's lingerie drawer. I remember with great clarity almost getting caught one day. I was home alone, maybe at 10 yrs old. I was in my moms room wearing her bra, panties, full slip, (all white), and a pair of pantyhose. I heard the door open as and mom and my sisters came home. Our house was a ranch and the only way back to my room was across the hall, with the risk of being seen. I made the fastest dash I could across the hall, into my room. Quick changed and stashed the clothes in my closet.

[JanePeterson]

I was 9 or 10 I think when my best friend and I tried on one of his moms bras complete with tennis ball boobs... Then after puberty I had the luxury of an older sister with great sexy clothes.

[Chandlyr Ellis]

I believe I was 7 when I discovered an outfit in my sister’s closet that just begged me to try it on… I remember almost not being able to breathe once I got the matching underpants zipped up (side zipper), and not from it being too small...it was a great fit, and for the first time I felt like ME. I felt elated yet normal, comfortable yet scared, right yet so “what the heck am I doing”. I knew it would be short lived as the parents would be returning home very soon. I remember wearing the outfit on many occasions until I got to the point of not being able to get the zipper up. (yep, I broke it, and just knew I was gonna get busted for it)
That was 50 years ago. Other milestones I do not remember as well. When I got my first pair of heels, my first wig (post male-pattern-baldness), first time shopping for myself are all lost in time. But I still have the memory of the Blue Majorette Uniform.

It looked like this, but Blue and Shiny, matching underpants. But no hat.

[Laura28]

I started the same way, my mother worked three late afternoon and eveing a week, I have no idea what possesed me to try on her slip but i did and was hooked, i progressed from there, i can still remember like it was yesterday the first time i put her lipstick on, i can still close my eyes and remember the wonderful smell and feeling.

[Maria 60]

Now that you mention it the pantyhose and slip combo was the best, it's to bad the new generation dressers won't experience it. I still love going to thrift stores and I could still find some of the classic lacy slips of old. They were good days, I miss women wearing slips.

[Kate's at home]

Barbara Jo, I read this post first yesterday, and I'm still green with envy from what you describe. Lucky girl. What would it be like today if we all had available to us the styles from that era?

Kate

[Usulsjourney]

Many of you have the same feelings I do. The sensation of a slip or skirt over nylon is the cornerstone of dressing to me. I have discussed it with my wife a bit and it is funny. The thing I crave she does not even notice. But like she says, she had to wear these things her whole adult life. I try to describe the feeling that wearing a garter belt and stockings provides me and wondered if it ever just becomes "underwear". To her it does she says, other than she did not wear garters/stockings just pantyhose. At least she sees the irony in the fact that I have worn a garter belt and stockings more than she has at this point and finds it funny.

[AmyVanessa]

This is bringing back memories for me, when I was about 11, when I had the house to myself for awhile, I'd put on a bra, dress and pair of heels that I found in the attic, and also a long white nightgown. I had some fun playing dress up when nobody else was home.

[Diedre]

Speaking of the classic lingerie. Did anyone else fall in love with wearing a panty girdle with nylons and a slip?

The feeling of the stocking tops tugging at that garters as a constant reminder you were wearing nylons plus the feel of the slip gliding over all the nylon fabric. OMG!

[MarciManseau]

I know what you mean, Bree. Sometimes a pretty slip makes you feel sooooo special! Especially a lacy pink one.

I agree with you completely, Stephanie. I also have good collection of slips, nowhere near your count, but probably more than many here.

[Erin Lafleur]

I know exactly what you mean Janice (and of course, all of you other girls with the same experience)!
I was 5 or 6 years old and my first foray into dressing was borrowing from my mother's lingerie drawer. I would wear her white silk half slip and walk around the bedroom and loved the way it swished around my legs. I was forever hooked. To this day, there are few things more gratifying to me than wearing a pretty skirt and feeling the flow around my body.
I am definitely a girly girl!

[Lucey]

To the question, started enjoying/wear women's clothing, have to say around 1956-59, soft to the touch, feels good to the skin, like it.

Over the years, never spoke about this subject to anyone, except when I told my wife back in 75.

Over the years, she understands, but has her limits, to which I agree with all the way.

What drew me here was, reading the posts and threads on the forum and have never felt more connected to what is being talked about or the sincere thoughts by the members here.

To date, I have never been open to anyone, other than my wife over the years. And the time period that I grew up in was a very different era, when people had different views and emotions concerning this subject.

So thanks for the openness and real private thoughts about of who we really are and at the same time would like to say, hello. :)

[LisaJ1]

First time was when I was 8 years old and was not good when I was caught.I decided to try on one of my bio mom's skirts and thought I would not get caught.Was wrong,I was made to take the skirt off and put my pants back on.My bio mom beat me with a frying pan and Bio dad whipped me with his belt when he came home from work.

[karen inside]

Been underdressed for 2 wks straight and the first thing when i arrive home each day is pull off the work boots and look at those red painted toenails! The feeling is still like the first time! Strange that i have nice feet for a male...possibly 'cause i take care of them like a girl???

[Karli]

My first dressing was at about 5 or 6 year old. My sister was at school and I'd have a half day. I'd go to my older sister's room and wear her yellow nightie. Later I'd try some of my mother's things to look more like a lady and less like a little girl until my sister got to her teens.

I was even later at 9 yrs old, only 45 years ago :-)

[RylieM]

I was even later 14-15 "borrowing" my sisters clothes and sleeping in em my dad almost caught me once or twice no one else had a clue she always though they got lost in the laundry it happens.

[emilyanne]

I started 42 years ago when I was 8. I slipped on my mom's pj's and underwear and never looked back. Love the feeling of woman's clothes.

[rachelatshop]

Hi everyone, All I can say is that I so agree with everyone who loves the feeling of stocking, garter belt, and a nylon slip rubbing on smooth legs. That is what keeps me dressing. I have always been a leg and heels guy.

[Anita Cosmolover]

Oh I so wish I started young! My first inkling that I was "different" was when I was 10. My older half sister was visiting and we all went down the beach one hot evening. Anyway, she started talking about a magazine she had started reading - COSMOPOLITAN. I had started to notice this magazine at the local shop - just how beautiful the covergirls were. This I think started my life long love affair with this magazine and my later addiction to wearing lingerie. I was a very late bloomer wearing lingerie. It started by being inspired by the beautiful lingerie editorials in COSMO. I started wearing pantihose. Then, in my mid-20's, I looked after a workmates house for a couple of months. I slept in the master bedroom and started wearing his wife's satin slips in bed whilst reading my COSMO's. I went through major denial at times - even getting rid of my most precious and loved COSMO collection - huge mistake! Eventually, I caved into accepting who I really am and have built up a huge collection of COSMO's and wear lingerie as often as I can. My wife never knew about this until recently when I accidently left a COSMO outside on a table - OOP's! So, I had to reveal all! This was a huge shock to her. She's accepted me reading and collecting COSMO, but just can't handle the lingerie wearing. I can do it when she's not around. At least she knows about it now. The burden of this long time secret was killing me! I just wish I will be able to wear lingerie in front of her one day without her freaking out! I have tried wearing make up and a wig, but can't get into this yet. I adore wearing high heels and stockings or pantihose as well. I have two pairs of silicon breastforms which I love wearing at times - really helps me feel so feminine! I do wish I had breasts. I just have to wear silk or satin everyday. I do have a silk robe (women's) which my wife lets me wear - not quite as good as a slip, but at least it is feminine. We talk about my cross-dressing and I hope she is slowly understanding who I am inside. Reading COSMO for years has taught me so much about women and she has benefitted greatly from this over the years.

[adrienner99]

I was eight or 10 when something, I don't what, drew me to my mother's closet. I got into a cotton day dress with a wide skirt, pulled on her only petticoat underneath it, and slipped on her (too big) three inch, black patent leather heels. Then I went to her vanity and put on her Revlon Cherries in the Snow lipstick. A bit later I took off the dress and petticoat and stepped into her yellow silk evening gown with a big bow in the back...Now, 50 years, later, the very memory makes me a bit faint....When I put on her lipstick and looked in the mirror, something said, This is right. This is me. This is who you are..."

[Madilyn A.]

Your story is like mine, I started by 5, completely dressed and wore makeup by 10. I wish I had known so many others were doing the same back then.

[Vicky Peters]

I use to stay at my aunts house on the weekends to do odd jobs around her house. The slip was laying over a chair and dared me to feel it. I did and have not stop wanting to dress, such a feeling.
