My wife just learned of one upside of a crossdressing husband :)

[Elizabeth G]

Hi All - Happy Monday!

In October of last year my wife learned of my crossdressing. We have slowly been working or way through this and I have occasionally posted here about our progress.

Well yesterday she learned that being married to a crossdresser is not all downsides. Her employer has decided that they want portrait photos of all employees and has brought in a photographer for this. My wife's appointment is today. So yesterday she was going through her closet trying on one outfit after another and she was having a hard time of it. So, you guessed it, she finally turned to me and said "I can't believe I'm asking this but do you have a black blazer I can try?". I promptly pulled one from my closet of 'girly things' as she calls it and voila, problem solved!

She then joked about how she was sure I couldn't wait to tell this to the therapist and you know... she's right :lol:

My wife borrows my stuff all the time. Although our styles are different, things like a black skirt, blazer, or foundations are universal.

Someday your wife will come to terms with it and not feel strange at all borrowing a skirt or even a bra from her husband.

My wife has borrowed my makeup before. She ran out of mascara once before getting ready for work and she had bought me some just like hers when she bought hers. She asked if I had any left and since I don't dress as much as her I had a lot left, she used it and kept it on her makeup counter. I guess this is an upside example also.

[Tracii G]

How cool is that ?

[Stacy Darling]

Elizabeth world is so nice!

My wife won't borrow as that would lead to acceptance! I know that she does like some of my things though! Silly Woman!

I can almost see that grin on your face!
Stacy!

Elizabeth,
So nice to be asked that question, I would have happily lent something to help my wife out. When I did suggest a nice jacket that was worth trying it was like lighting the blue touch paper ! She erupted , I was fairly hurt by the outburst so now it's her loss and will never offer again. My daughter is a different matter , she's considering borrowing my leather skirt as she's never worn one .

My wife and I just did a dance weekend in Catskills, as that is her heart's desire and I go along, hoping to earn good graces. She borrowed my black lace mermaid gown from Venus (posted several pictures of it) and she got several compliments. It was hard not to be the one to thank them and said I look lovely in it too! She also wore the coral Venus dress with the high slit I also posted pictures of. This one was originally from her sister. It also got compliments and asked where it came from. Another dancer also buys from Venus. Then, on two of the nights, she asked me to do her makeup. She had only mascara, blush, and lipstick. The second night, she found a red lipstick and bought a small set of eyeshadows, but no black. She wanted cat's eyes as we did a 50's sock hop. I did what I could with a brown. Used some shade as a bronzer for contouring. She could see I knew much more about makeup than her, but I did not make her feel worse than she did. She has worn a purple top she had bought for me twice now.
I have not seen any of the "emotional support" she promised, but the sharing of clothes and makeup skills was nice.
Hugs, Ellen

At least she asked Elizabeth. My wife often borrows from my side, and I always feign shock, like "Hey, that's mine"!

In all seriousness, it pleases me to no end, and I'm sure you felt the same way. Congrats on that milestone and don't be surprised if it happens again. Kim

Elizabeth, isn't it great how special these little moments feel.
I came out to my wife early this year. Recently we were away for a few days and she needed some tights. I told her she was welcome to have some of mine and she appreciated the offer. I think we both realised that it was a sign of progress. :)

[Cherylgyno]

My wife takes my old panties.
As a joke she will don't a bra of mine on occasion for a laugh (I am a 48 D, wife is 36 B).

[jennifer0918]

Wow how convenient

[Stephanie47]

That's a cute story. If she is willing to borrow clothes from you she is at least affirming you have good taste. Now the big question. Did she give it back to you? :)

[Kelsey dresses]

Oh yea we share panties ,my bras are to big

[Maria 60]

Just last weekend my wife borrowed a dress and pantyhose, but the best one was my daughter borrowed a dress that she thought was my wife's and wondered since when she had a change of fashion taste. I made sure my wife got the dress back.

[alwayshave]

Elizabeth, My fiancee has borrowed things. My step daughter has taken things without asking, it happens.

[Davinnia]

My wife & I swap clothes if either of us get bored with an item. This week she gave me 2 pairs of pants & swapped a shirt for one of mine that I hardly wear. I often borrow skirts of hers because she rarely wears them. I seems a shame for clothes to just sit in a wardrobe & never being worn. How lucky to both be the same size.

[Teri Ray]

Liz, Very happy to hear things for you and your wife are doing well. Keep up the great work. You are a lucky girl and so is your wife.

[Elizabeth G]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all of the feedback! BTW, I did get my blazer back:D I was worried at first when she asked me because I'm a little bit smaller than her and it could have been a disaster if the jacket didn't fit but everything worked out great.

Elizabeth

[cosmolovesph]

My wife has come to be "hey do you have any black pantyhose I can borrow/have?" and I loved it! She's great and I'm lucky to have her and some of her hand-me-downs too! :)

[jjjjohanne]

Many years ago, my wife basically said the same thing to me, "I can't believe I am asking you this, but can I have a pair of pantyhose?" She eventually became comfortable enough to ask again a couple more times. She has never worn anything else of mine. She has refused to try on a skirt a time or two when I offered. Once, however, she did model a skirt of mine for me. :) I had forgotten about that... Thank you!

[Lucy23]

It's so nice reading all these stories!

[rian]

To my wife and me ,,we share lot of things together ,, and what ever I buy we place in separate closets yet we share lot of stuff together ,,,her size is almost mine with mine a bit larger ....I enjoy to see my dresses and night gowns being shared by her ...it is a joy and sometimes she confiscate some of mine without permission because she likes ....

[Lea]

My wife borrowed my skirt for a wedding.

We always ask first but we share clothing.

[Rebecca Star]

My g/f (been dating since Feb 2017) is a different size in both dress and heels. Because I live literally hours away, we spend every 2'nd weekend together. Anyway, she ran out of mascara a couple of weeks ago, so I gave her my new (unopened) spare one. It's kinda funny cause her ex husband is the complete opposite of me. Just in passing, she's often commented on how nice it is to have a boyfriend and a girlfriend all in one package...lol

It's comments like this that make me feel accepted, loved and appreciated :)

[kristinacd55]

That's convenient for your honey! My wife's worn my dresses, and curiously hiking clothes as well!! :)

[Dana44]

Very nice Elizabeth. I bet she borrows more from you in the future. .

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Elizabeth :hugs:, My DA/DT:love:Wife has on occasion borrowed different items of clothing and matching necklace & Earring sets...:daydreaming:...

[Jenn A116]

I introduced my wife to fashion tape. I had bought some to use to temporally stick breast forms and hip padding in place. One day she complained about her bra straps always slipping down, so I suggested using the tape. Sure enough it worked for her and I wound up giving her 3/4's of my stash.

[mechamoose]

My wife turns to me in the same way. Girl, we have taste and fashion sense. Just accept it.

But 'borrowing' clothing has not always worked out. Like, my stuff is available to her, yet if I'm eyeing a recent acquisition of hers.. 'thats mine!'

It doesn't help that we wear the same size top.

She is just jealous..

<3

Borrowing is fine, so long as she gives it back :)

I'm still putting up 'lost' posters over some things she has 'borrowed'.

I'm happy to help her look good, but dammit girl! I *DID* buy that because *I* liked it.

[Kayliedaskope]

So go buy a second one and let her keep the first one. Or just start stealing your clothes back.

[Barbara Black]

the closest I get to that is her handing down makeup and perfume that she doesn't want. We do fit the same same tops (boobs notwithstanding), but she doesn't want to see me wearing something of hers. thankfully our styles are quite different most of the time.

[JenniferR771]

DADT here--I am hoping and longing for the day my other half borrows something from me. So far nothing that I am aware of.

Its true, my daughter borrowed a pair of cute reading glasses from me two years ago. Never got them back.
True, my other daughter wears my pair of outrageous green and yellow stripped tights for roller skating at times. I gave them to her 2 years ago.

[sally silverfox]

We share panties and sweaters and sometimes twin sweater sets. Skirts go back and forth to. bras don't make it as she's 40D and I'm a 42C. We enjoy shopping together for clothes and lingerie.

[Alice_2014_B]

Only wardrobe my wife and I can share is shoes, we're both 9 in women's; however, however, my heels are WAY to high for her to walk in.
And I have zero interest in wearing her shoes.
But at the same time I told her she can always just wear any of my heels just to chill on the bed or something, even without asking.
:)

[Becky Blue]

Nice story Elizabeth, another baby step forward!

[Beverley Sims]

I get a bit of mix and match in the household here too.

[Tahoegurl]

What a great opportunity to show the upside. My wife and I share what we can...we are different foundation colors, bras and shoe sizes...but we have bought matching heels. We share clothes in the sizes we share. Our closet is pretty commingled. It is fun to just grab whatever fits my fancy for the day.

[alexaxx]

My SO has commandeered my spandex running shorts a few times to wear under dresses and skirts as she doesnt wear panties. I’m expanding my wardrobe with some flowy tips and sweaters for the fall/winter and my guess is she’ll borrow some of that as well

[Krisi]

My wife and I can wear the same tops and some bottoms. Not shoes though. She told me I can wear anything of hers and of course, she can wear anything of mine. Sometimes in the store, if I'm not sure something will fit me, I'll have her try it on.

[Jamie390]

My wife is pretty much DADT. So imagine my suprise when I got a text while I was at work one day. My wife asked if she could wear my black bathing suit to the YMCA. She liked it so much that it's pretty much "her" suit now.

[Robin777]

We both wear some of the same size tops, so we are also a mix and match household. We both lost some weight and she got a lot of my larger size panties. Another upside she has a husband that doesn't mind going clothes shopping with her.
