Halloween en femme

[Julie Slowinski]

So, I've done the woman costume at least a half dozen times in my life, including one year that my wife suggested we go to a party as reverse bride and groom (greatest Halloween ever!!!). However, now that I am more comfortable with my crossdressing and go out to clubs once in while, I was thinking I should get a costume that would be more typical of a cis-girl, just to add a bit more fun to the night.

Has anyone done this before? Did it work out well? Any suggestions on which type of costume I should get? At the moment I'm thinking of getting one called 'cattitude' from spicy lingerie (I'm sure our friends at google will find the picture for you).

I should add that I'm not planning to wear that while trick or treating with my kids. I will actually be out of town on business the week of Halloween and am planning to go to a drag club while there. So, it will be an appropriate venue.

I saw a really nice flapper dress outfit. That might be nice also.

[ashley_addams76]

I am going to be a science female officer from Star trek. Usually before some date before Halloween though.

Yes ma'm, if you look at pat photo threads here you'll see a lot! I was two different pirates last year, on boy, one girl. Earings and eyeliner for both!!! What fun.

In fact, I will have to admit that one of my early thoughts or obsessions with crossdressing was the idea of doing a female costume, like a she devil or witch, and a bit naughty, but doing it well enough that everyone would just assume it was a gg in costume. Of course, now that I have dressed enfemme enough to realize that is still a pretty tall order, basically "passing" which is quite difficult for a mere mortal!

I say go out as feminine looking as you can, orget about being busted, you can always explain it away.
I did it in West Hollywood a couple of years ago and I was not considered other than a woman in a costume.

I did a Cheerleader several times
And an island girl with grass skirt

I did a 'naughty schoolgirl' costume for a contest at an LGBT club once. Black cardigan, white blouse, red plaid necktie and matching red plaid miniskirt, white knee socks, black Mary Jane shoes. Last year I was a "Queen of the Night", essentially a lady vampire, with articulated bat wings, a pierce work bat-themed mask, and a black evening dress - wore it to a "Witches Ball" Halloween dance at a music venue. Won the prize for 'Most Ghoulish" costume!

[Sometimes Steffi]

Umm, I guess I don't really know what a cis girl would wear that's different than what Steffi would wear.

One year I got a Hooter's girl costume online and went bar hopping with a bunch of TG friends. We did go to an actual Hooters and the real Hooters girls got quite a kick out of my costume. The asked me if I wanted to wait tables with them.

Last year I went as a belly dancer to a local TG girls' meetup group.

Once, a long, long time ago, before my wife knew I wa a CD, we went to a Halloween party where she was the butler and I was the French maid. But, this time I was just a man in a leotard, no wig or makeup, and socks for boobs. I guy did stick a dollar bill in my bra that night. I also won the best costume, but they had trouble deciding if it was for the best male costume or best female costume. There was also a GG who also wore a French maid's costume, and we compared notes on our costumes.

Julie. My favorite is either a super sexy witch or Elvira. Yes I know that both have been done many times. Then again I am 6'11" in my heels. How many witches and Elvira's are 6'11"?

[lingerieLiz]

I have a 1920s flapper dress. Black with fringe. It was a gift from a woman that was a young woman in the late 1920s. I've worn it a few times and it is sexy but never on Halloween.

[Dana44]

I have a nice dress and zombie girl costume with bone leggings and arm gloves that are bony. I have tow wigs with it and use decals on my face and they look good. So I have been a zombie girl for the past couple years.

[ellbee]

Yes, I've done it quite a few times as an adult.

Not every year, but often enough in my 20's & 30's.


Gay club, straight club, drag club, whatever.

Also while hanging out at friends' houses before/after the above.

Also got all dolled-up one year & passed out candy from home.


Stereotypical / traditional GG costumes: Various cats & witches. Did that most often. But really switched it up every time, never with the same look twice.

Also did kind of a goth/vampire look sometimes. And another year, as a GG from India (only real reason was because of an authentic dress I bought that was made in India, with the whole style of it).


I never bought any "pre-made" costumes. Always put them together, myself. Much more fun, challenging, creative & unique that way.

I also never just went "just as a GG" -- it was always "a GG dressed up for Halloween."


I had fun. My friends had fun.

Lots of little adventures, stories & memories that will always be with me. :)


Go for it! :thumbsup:

One year I went as a Cigarette Girl. My wife made me a circle skirt and jacket. Wig, Fishnets and Mary Janes topped it off. I wasn't very good at makeup then but it was nighttime and we drank a lot. I made a simple box out of plywood and glued Cracker Jack boxes and cigarette packs to the top of. I made a false lid and underneath I lined with styrofoam and filled with Jell-O shots. When we arrived I heard a friend ask "who is that" with the reply "I don't know but she's got nice legs!" Liked hearing that. My buddy who was the host said I was the only one who could get away with that (retired Marine). I think he was envious. My wife says I should dress up as something this year but I'm still not sure what.

[docrobbysherry]

Beginner CD's dress as women on Halloween. But, experienced dressers dress as women in sexy costumes on Halloween! I do this and will as long as I'm able. I go to as many H events, costume contests, etc. as I can every Halloween. Halloween is the ONLY time of year when I may pass!:D

So many sexy fem outfits! So little time!:battingeyelashes:

[abby054]

As a nine year old kid, I dressed up as a peasant girl: long skirt, off the shoulder blouse, kerchief around my hair. I was small and girlish for my age then, so I needed little makeup to be convincing. My small town had a Halloween parade for the children to march in, which I did. I do not recall anyone remarking about my costume.

That was the last time that I dressed in costume for Halloween. My parents decided that when a kid reached double digits in age, his Halloween costume and "trick or treat" days were over. In the cultures that I have spent my life since then, Halloween parties have been a thing for children only.

I'm pretty sure this isn't what you're talking about, but the quote above DID bring back a fond memory...

I grew up poor. Halloween costumes consisted of a cheap plastic mask (you know the type) coupled with some thrown together clothing or an old sheet. But one year my Mom decided to dress me up in my sister's clothes, threw a (new) string mop on my head for a wig, and out I went. It was my first "cis-girl" halloween costume and my first time out of the house in a dress. I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!

I lived in a small neighborhood, so everyone knew who I was, and of course the mop head didn't fool anyone. Still - one of the neighbor ladies said "Oh, aren't you the cutest thing? You're the cat's pajamas." It's a memory I'll cherish and carry with me always.

And if anyone is wondering "did this start the desire for crossdressing?" - the answer is no. I have much earlier memories of wearing things and/or wanting to be a girl. It was just the first time I was public.
I guess I really can't remember a time when I was happy to just be male.

[Evie82]

Got mine for this year...

Sadly that's not me in the pic, but hoping I can get kinda close to that cos it's a gorgeous dress!

[Nikki A.]

I've done the hippie chick look, but my favorite was Mimi from the Drew Carey show.

[Sarasometimes]

My best Halloween costumes were of actresses or celebrities in the news. These require you to do all the details! Painted fingers and toes, false eyelashes, makeup done just right along with your hair and all the accessories.

I was Zha Zha Gabor, she was in the news for punching a cop, a female friend went as the male cop.

You could do some female news reporters or stars from current movies. Megyn Kelly

[StacyCD]

I did Princess Leia last Halloween. The only problem was the wig was a bit small!

[Alice_2014_B]

Last Halloween I went out with the wife;
I dressed as a goth chick in fishnets and heels (very basic).

This year, if I take that night off work, I'd love to go as a sexy witch or something.
Just as long as it gets me out looking fabulous in heels, LOL.

:)

[Jenni Yumiko]

Go for it! This will be my first year in a risqué costume and I'm super excited/nervous! I have another costume for trick or treating with the fam, but to a t-party and after club, I'll be letting it all hang out!

[CarlaWestin]

I'm trying to figure out how to broach the subject with my wife. Here in Las Vegas it's fairly common for adults to spend all day in costumes while out and about. And I've seen a few taking full advantage of the CD holiday.
So I've had my eye on this dress although the full sexy maid all day is always inviting.

I probably won't be dressed up on Halloween night itself, but I do have a local party I go to every year that I've been in dress just about every year. Wore Belle last year, but debating still which princess to be. I also wore a southern belle dress two years ago, which was also alot of fun to do!

[Kayliedaskope]

Carla, do black hair with pigtails and go as Wednesday Addams.

[Genifer Teal]

I went out to a straight club I had been to years ago. This time was for Halloween in costume. I was a school girl. Short skirt, suspenders, heels, you can imagine. I ended up making some friends and continued to go there on regular nights. Now I am a regular there. You never know how things may work out.

[AllisonME]

I'm going out for the first time this year. My girlfriend and I and with two other couples we're all going as the Sanderson sisters from Hocus-pocus. We all are going to be spending the day and evening in Salem all while dressed.

[Teresa]

Julie,
Last Halloween also coincided with Trafalgar Day in the UK. I didn't fancy driving in heavy makeup and outfit so I opted to celebrate Trafalgar Day by wearing a Union Jack outfit. I apologise for using the picture again but this is what I went to the party in .

Teresa, now you look like a real "cross"dresser. :D

Uh oh, my 666th post.

It doesn't mean a thing, really. It's just a number, right?:devil:

[Rhanda]

In my introduction to this site, I told how that I started wanting to CD. It was when I was in the fifth grade, and my sister dressed me in some of her outgrown clothes for Halloween party at a classmate's house. She was enough older than me that she had all the makeup. I war an eye mask, a pretty dress, hose, and girls undies. AND, Marie Jane shoes. (My favorite heels are Marie Jane's.

What was really the most exciting thing was that no one discovered who I was until the un-masking. In the meantime, there were two scuffles by boys who wanted to sit beside me. "The prettiest girl in the room."

I was thinking I should get a costume that would be more typical of a cis-girl

Some of the younger girls I know (20's) fancy wearing a dress in the style of the 1920's but most want to costume up as an action heroine.

Getting into the late 30's and early 40's I find they prefer the naughty nurse and pirate costumes.

But, there is a reason those costume stores are so big. I would go browse and see what strikes my fancy.

I have almost two months left for someone to talk me out of going as a giant carrot this year, lol.

[nikkiwindsor]

Expressing our feminine side during Halloween opens doors to so many new costume possibilities. One year I went out as a Playboy Bunny and another year, as a Bavarian bar girl...here's a pic and link! I really had a wonderful time dressing up...again you'll have so much fun and you'll most certainly look gorgeous with any costume you choose to wear or character you choose to be...Nikki

Although I won't be going out on halloween en femme, I am looking for all the right pieces for a Margot Robbie Harley Quinn costume from Suicide Squad, as well as a costume of the singer Lorde!

[~Joanne~]

I put this together one year (first time ever showing this photo) but never went out in it. I think it looked some what good but I couldn't wear the padding under the suit, it was visible, and the belt was worn too high but overall i don't think it was a bad look. I hardly ever wear the straight haired wig but it is a very nice wig :D
