My wife gave me one of many items of her clothes to try yesterday and it made me wonder if anyone else has this , almost, sister like thing with their spouses where they swap clothes. It's a great feeling, to both be standing in front of the mirror checking each other's clothes and making suggestions about how we look, a real girl thing.

I love when we have a big event to go to, she buys a few dresses and then ask me to model them for her.

My wife is a size 10 and I'm a size 18. No, we don't swap clothes.

Yes many times. The.only 2 things are she gives me what she doesn't like anymore and some of them I don't like either. And number 2 when she borrows something of mine I very seldom get it back. She wants to keep it. Oh well thats life I guess.

Only in the lingerie area. In the clothes area I will go with her watch what's she tries on and say yes or no. When I see something I like she puts it aside and we get it.

my wife accidently buys about 4 dresses a year that are to small for her, and gives them to me.
Makes me wonder a bit though, as her accidental purchases are mostly in my colour range, not hers

Mimi and I, despite a difference in height, wear the same dress size. Therefore, what's mine is hers and what's hers is mine. It makes for much expanded wardrobe opportunities.

Today she wore a xmas-y red tunic with a jeweled neckline. I complimented her on it and she said "I like the way it looks on me, but I'll bet it'll look good on you too. Why don't you wear it to the Nutcracker this weekend?

Moments like this tell me how lucky I am! :hugs:

I often get hand-me-downs from my wife as we both keep loosing weight. She gave me my first bra, it didn't fit her any more, she's given me pants, dresses, skirts, blouses, panties. I'd say 25% of my wardrobe is from her.

My wife gives me things all of the time. She has a girl friend that her things too; which when she gets home realizes that the item doesn't fit her and will give it to me.

Yes we share. Years ago at work she was wearing a blouse from me and when asked where she got it said oh I traded with my husband. I guess she outed me there. The bad part is once she wears it, it never seems to be returned. One time I borrowed a dress from her. As I was driving to a meeting I caught it in the car door and damaged it. Dang, I really liked to see her in it.

We don't share underwear. Bra sizes are different. Slips in the past and I loaned one of her friends a pair a pettipanty slip once. Her sister and I have loaned each other a bra since we are the same size when visiting.

Hell-o Charlene,
I've received a few things from my SO that she had intended to donate to Goodwill.
I was watching as she was cleaning out her closet, she just turned to me and asked " do you want them?",
How could I say no?
And this past Thanksgiving we were getting ready to visit our neighbors for dinner, I was
set to go, and waiting for her. She came out asking how she looked (as usual) but this time
she was wearing one of "my" sweaters. It looked great, but was a bit loosely woven, so I suggested
she wear a cami top under it. She then asked..." well... where is it? ".
Much Love,
Kristyn

No, unfortunately! I'm built like a cage fighter, 5'11" and 218...can usually work with an 18 or XL in dresses, and a 14 or L in skirts. My wife is 5'6" and about 125 soaking wet, a solid size 4. My heels size is 9 1/2 to 10 while she is 7 1/2. So no chance of me borrowing from her, though on more than one occasion she has claimed some of the European or Calvin Klein pantyhose I have purchased...which is not as forgiving as other brands and is a "stretch" for me.

What usually winds up happening is that when I get a pair of heels, dress or skirt she likes...I have to get the same item in her size. Then she teases me when we go out while she's wearing that item, asking whether I'd like to be wearing it, and how it feels at the moment. This is a kind of foreplay for us, as I tell her how beautiful she is, and how good those clothing articles look on her, etc.

At one point in my life I dated a gal who was 5'10". Her clothes fit me perfectly--and she seemed initially supportive of CD. After a few glorious weeks of "sharing a wardrobe" she dumped me.

I'm not complaining about my current situation, though.

Cheers

Gretchen

Not exactly "swapped", but my wife has borrowed dresses from me to attend weddings. She doesn't wear a dress for any other occasion, so the way she looked in mine was a pleasant surprise. I had to wear a suit to those weddings, so I was a bit jealous. Still, it feels like my tastes are getting some validation.

We were about the same size for a while, and she would see something she liked and borrow it. She has always had an open invitation to use my stuff, and now that I've gained weight, she has taken over a few things as her own.

Nyet... but the "wardrobe sharing" 'tis a one way street. She frequently wears mine (T's & Jeans mostly) but I *never* wear hers. Yea it bugs me because when I open up the bureau, the top of the stack is the plain blue T when she is wearing the cool concert T I covet. :-(

I've even observed to her "isn't it funny it is socially acceptable for you to accept guests, to present yourself socially in my clothes. But if I did the same wearing a blouse of yours, and/or a skirt, I would not encounter the same acceptance. (She meekly countered "you can wear my clothes any time" but strongly implied "But I don't want to see it.")

But I make it a strong rule... hers is hers... I have my own collection so I don't "borrow". The latest delivery is due day after tomorrow (Thurs PM). I fully expect Big Brown will not actually deliver on time (this expectation supported by recent opportunities:-( I only hope to be wrong in this expectation. If I had a shipping choice, BB wouldn't be in!

My wife has 'borrowed' tops, never to be seen in my closet again :)

She loans me jewelry and outerwear, so I *guess* that evens out. I just want that purple top back :(

I borrowed some heavy sweaters from her last October to attend Lake Erie Gala. I didn't have any to bring. As non supportive as she is, I was certain I would be buying a couple, but she got them out of cedar chest and gave them to me.

My wife does now offer me clothes , in fact she offers me things from her sister, she knows a coat has been worn by the three of us !

I'm afraid we would not be standing in front of a mirror comparing how we looked , she doesn't want to know !

my wife bought me a few blouses and has tried to give me a few things...some i have accepted and some i have turned down as graciously as possible (don't you like them......yes - on you) and i few things i have asked for...black batwing sweater

i find it awkward when offered things but trying to be open and gracious

Krisi
12-16-2015, 09:18 AM
My wife has given me clothes she no longer wants but now since I buy my own, the castoffs go to charity. Occasionally, she will wear one of my blouses out somewhere. When we shop for clothes, she will sometimes give me something she originally picked out for herself.

Julie and I always share clothes. It makes it so much nicer when you have twice as many things to chose from. We're the same in everything but shoes and bras - her feet are a size smaller and her cup size is bigger, so I can't wear her bras without a lil padding, which I do sometimes if I don't have the right one to wear for some outfit. I'm a little taller too, but I'm longer waisted, so that helps.

12-16-2015, 12:22 PM
I've had two SOs give me things that they either didn't like or had outgrown. Never had one where my clothes though, as we've never been the same sizes. It's nice when they offer something to me. I appreciate the acknowledgement and thought.

Nope. My clothes are too small for her and her taste in women's clothing sucks! Lol

Cheryl T
12-16-2015, 03:27 PM
We do this occasionally too.
One night she was going through her closet and asked if I wanted anything. Of course being dressed I said certainly and as she brought out an item I would try it on and if it fit I would model and we talked about it. She would tell me how she thought it looked and I would give my opinion. This went on for about 3 hours and we had lots of fun. I also added a number of things to my wardrobe.
The closet didn't get that much more room when we were done, but we'll deal with it...lol.

12-16-2015, 04:17 PM
This happens all the time with us. We are about the same size on top (12/14) and I am a little smaller below (10/11). She got two of my hard to find Hollister T shirts after she saw me wearing one and said she wanted it. Luckily I found three more online for her for Christmas. She also got two of my men's graphic T shirts from Aeropostale, and I think one women's Aeropostale T shirts as well. In a recent closet cleanout, she gave me two Victoria's Secret sweaters that she did not want to wear, one scoop neck and one V neck.

Me and my girlfriend do this. We are both the same size....for now she has been loosing weight and close to 12 so now I will have a goal to get in to a 12myselft. Just other day she asked to borrow my white skirt to go with her leggings. It is really nice to be able to share clothes and evetually get her old clothes to add to my wardrobe.

Acastina
12-16-2015, 09:08 PM
It happens a lot. Although I'm four inches taller and 40 pounds heavier, we can actually wear quite a bit of each other's wardrobe. She likes loose layers and I like things snug, so that helps. Just recently, I discovered that I fit into her wonderful collection of girl jeans, Apparently her curvy hips and butt require roughly the same amount of space as my thicker waist, slim hips, and no butt. She had a pair of upscale (like $80 from Nordstrom) Blue Essence jeans with flared legs that were too long for her, so she said they're now mine. The flares do a nice job of making my feet look smaller, and, with padded panties, have a nice girly shape. It's my new everyday uniform. I can also wear a lot of her tops, and she mine.

Then I had an older lounge/sleep set in red fleece. I had forgotten that it was a set, then found the top way back in the closet. Got both parts out and washed them, then she decided that was hers from now on. She likes warmer stuff in the cold weather, so there ya go.

So we have plenty of things that used to be mine and are now hers, and vice-versa, as well as a bunch of stuff that we share. Out of luck with shoes, though (10 and 13).

Like some of the others here with totally supportive wives, I do consider myself to be unreasonably lucky.

Once in a while my wife would ask if I had any extra pantie hose.
She never had a fresh pair when she needed them.

I definitely have lost some items to my wife
a few dresses have been seen on her, never to return to my closet.
She grabbed one jacket that went with a dress I have. That never got
returned, landed in her closet. I had to take that back,

That broke up the set and I really needed the jacket to cover my hairy arms.

I think it's great that some of you share clothes with your wives. My wife and I are really different shapes and sizes,and what looks sort of good on me really doesn't work for her. I have some of her old tops that don't fit her anymore (she has lost weight) and I'll wear them around the house, or gardening.

Would that others' wives and SO's were so understanding!

I'm a foot taller, and a good 70 lbs heavier than my wife. I can certainly see the advantages, as well as the enjoyment in sharing with a wife/girlfriend. My wife has offered hand me down jewelry and a couple other accessories, but physical stature aside, her style is much different than mine. She's very much a slacks and jeans wearer, while I much prefer skirts and dresses.

The tables finally turned for us. After years of me taking advantage of her clothes, she needed a camisole and half slip last weekend for an outfit she had bought. None of her lingerie worked so she borrowed one of my camis and slips. She asked first, of course!

Quite a lot of my femme wardrobe has come from my wife, especially skirts because she hasn't been wearing skirts for some years and hers fit me perfectly. She also prefers cotton nighties so I have a collection of satin, nylon, etc. nightwear.
All this suits me very well as I prefer the slightly retro look from the older styles - they go with my age-group.

12-17-2015, 10:20 PM
During my first marriage my ex-wife and I did all the time. She was an Amazon and so we were very similar in size.

In my current marriage it has happened a few times, but because of our size difference it doesn't always work out. My wife does usually grab a couple of my more professional items everytime she has a business trip.

12-17-2015, 11:40 PM
This sounds more like our arrangement Kiwi Primrose. I think I was not as clear as I should have been and some have assumed I was talking about my male clothes but I meant female clothes. I have some underwear from her that is very pretty but I also have underwear I chose.. This kind of happened be cause my crossdressing came about by default when we were fooling around one night and with her encouragement I started trying on her underwear, then her clothes and we both liked the idea so much I became a full crossdresser. Of course once into it, I began to realise all sorts of little things about myself that told me I had a definite female side that had been under the surface for years

Unfortunately, my s/o and I are completely different builds. I'm 5'10" and she's much smaller so swapping clothes is out. However, we do have similar tastes in clothing so we tend to have the same things just in different sizes.

My wife and I are close to the same size. Unfortunately I am more colorfull when dressing and she is more into black. During the summer I ran across a bag of cloths she hasn't worn in years so i tried them on. The cloths fit perfectly and are mine now. We shared nylons and tights all the time but she hasn't seen my wordrobe and like my choices Im more trendy and shes more stuck in teacher mode.👠

Sadly I cannot, wife is petite and size 6-9 depending on the time of year. I'm 6'4" size 12-14 long on pants, and 18-20 in the top.

My first wife and I were a size 10, so I did not need to get very much. That was in the early seventies. I do remember that she had a nice lacy button up dress in a beautiful pink.

It would have have been just the thing to wear now with slim leg jeans or leggings. She lent it out to a close friend and it was months before she got it back.

How I do miss that dress. I can still picture it to this day.

My second wife was a 12 when we met and had a wardrobe full of clothes that fitted me. No chance now as she has gone up to a 22. But, I can still wear a size 10-12 now. So not a lot has changed with me.

My first wife only used to wear mini skirts and dresses all the time way back in the late 60s and early 70s. She had very good taste in clothes

These days at 74 one wear clothes that are more fitting for my age. More like 50-55 age range but not granny style.

I have long had the pleasure of sharing some items with my wife. I am seven inches taller and she is very trim but it can work, depending on the garment.

Much as I love to wear heels, at 6' 1" I fear that I am overly tall to get away visually with adding another four inches. That doesn't stop me doing so (of course! :battingeyelashes: ) but I much prefer it when my wife is also in heels at the time, restoring balance. That she will wear 6" or more (with platform soles) helps ... in all sorts of ways. :o

If only I could fit into her heels. She has a collection which makes me drool!

No, due to different sizes, and somewhat different style/taste. Except for accessories (like scarves) or jewelry of hers which I've borrowed. And a really cool paisley skirt she once gave me, but that for the life of me I cannot find.

12-21-2015, 06:07 PM
Before I ever came out to my wife, I borrowed some leggings. We were going to my son's football game and it was going to be a cold night. I asked is I could borrow a pair of her leggings because I didn't have any long johns to wear under my jeans. So I put the leggings on, (but not my jeans yet) while I was putting my shirt on, combing my hair, brushing my teeth etc. and then I laid on the bed watching tv as she was getting dressed. She seemed a little curious that I was so comfortable wearing her clothes, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, I kept the leggings for myself and still have them. :)

We had a 80s christmas party the other day and she had to wear and outfit that required and nylon top...well that is my world lol....so i took out about 5 of them and one looked great. So she took it and all day I couldn't stop thinking about how cool that was...

Used to wear her underwear but I stretched them and that made her upset. She went out and bought me some panties. We live apart due to job situation and she visited a few weeks ago. Saw that I bought new panties and she kinda got mad.

Chrissy1966
12-21-2015, 10:20 PM
Mostly panties. I'm 6' 3", she's 5'. She's kind of hippy and the lace boy-short panties fit nice and are always fun to wear. Everything else, I need to purchase in my own size. She bought the cutest bright pink ****ty high heels last week just for fun (nothing she would wear out of the house), now I want a pair of my own

Shoes are about the only thing I cant share with my wife. Other than that, she wears my long sleeve shirts, I wear her tops. I buy clothes with her in mind also. We share.

Robin777
12-26-2015, 09:50 PM
I swap clothes as she wears the same size in tops and a size larger in panties and the same size in bras. I can't swap shoes with her though, her feet are bigger than mine. I wear a size 11 in women's shoes and she wears a 12. Big feet run in women run in her fathers side of the family.

I'm assuming you mean with their knowledge and permission as opposed to "borrowing" when they're not looking.

If that's the case, the answer is emphatically no.

As for "borrowing", I'll let you guess.

mY wife gives me first dibs on everything she decides to get rid of.
My bigest offer from her was to try on her wedding dress after she took it off. I was preoccupied with other things at that time. I never took her up on her offer. But then again, ....it's never too late. The only problem is that it's now stored at me mum's house.......

pamela7
12-27-2015, 07:35 AM
that would be lovely but sizes 8 and 22 (uk) don't mix too well, so all we can share is my jumpers, hats (sometimes) and make-up - that we share all the time, our make-up box is communal :-))

We have a couple of matching clothing - same thing, different sizes :-)))
