Your First Forays Into Dressing 24/7

[Veronica Lacey]

During a recent 4 day weekend my wife was away and I found opportunity to dress 24/7. I liberated my femme wardrobe from their boxes, put them all into drawers and hung some in the closet and armoire. It felt incredible to see it all laid out and completely accessible and organized. I really enjoyed casually holding items up to one another to mix and match, to try a few accessories, to wear various lingerie during the day and whatever pajamas at night. I wore forms and a bra during all hours save for sleeping and showering and tried to enjoy my various footwear as much as I could.

Sounds as if I will have another similar opportunity this winter so perhaps it will be even better as the temps will be cooler. After the four days off I returned to work. My wife was still away, however, so I could dress after work, evenings and before going to work in the mornings. (My wife is aware and ok with this arrangement just not interested in indulging me during everyday life.)

For those that are married or with a significant other and have had similar opportunities to dress 24/7 – or do so regularly – what things did you notice the first time or two that you did this? Did you do anything similar or special? Would you do something different the next time?

Thanks!
Veronica.

For a number of years my wife visited our daughter who was living in Chicago. Each time I had about seven to ten days to liberate my femme garments from storage. I hung dresses and slips in the walk-in closet. Lined heels up at the foot of the bed. Put bras, panties and hosiery in my armoire. I was en femme any time I wanted. I took as many evening strolls as I wanted. I don't know if I will do anything different when my wife visits her cousin in Arizona next March,

My wife is supportive and encouraging. However, her adult daughter lives with us and I will not allow her to know. She went to Florida just after the first of the year and I was in heaven when she was gone.

[Kimberly Adams]

I've done it a few times when everyone was out of town. Very exhilarating. Recently told my wife my secret and she doesn't want me to dress without her so I will respect that. Still waiting for the first chance to get fully dressed with her. Can't wait.

[Janine cd]

I have spent a few days when my wife was away sorting through my femme wardrobe trying to decide what to wear. usually, I end up wearing the sameoutfit I wore the last time she was away. I'm hoping that the next she is out of town I will have something new and exciting to wear.

[Beverley Sims]

For the first couple of times I plotted my way through what to wear and when to wear it.

These activities do wane over time.

It is great just to know that you can get dressed at will.

[LeslieSD]

Ladies, I am really curious about this topics as well.

When you have chances to do 24/7 for a couple of days, does the urge to dress goes away? Do you feel like it is getting a bit boring and tired, and the next morning you just want to put on the male t-shirt and have an easy day? Or do you want to keep doing that and get more?

[TheHiddenMe]

I've written about both in the pictures forum.

The first was to get my nails done, have a makeover, arrange to try on clothes at Nordstrom, and to buy a wig dressed. That really broke the ice for me on getting out.

The second was a four day train trip to Chicago. Walked around, shopped, saw Hamilton and went to the Art Institute.

My main realization was how much additional lead time I needed to add to get out. If I needed to leave at 10, I needed to get started at 9. Guy me takes about 5 minutes of lead time.

As to the question above, becoming a girl is a lot of work. I think for me a bit of the luster wore off after the four days (one was four days, the other five). Plus, in one case my spouse was coming home, so I needed to change back, and in the other I had guy commitments to take care of.

But I started thinking about my next extended time out almost immediately after the end of my girl time.

[Karine]

Hi everyone,

I had once the opportunity to dress 5 days in a row.It was the holidays, girlfriend was out of town so I had 100% of time for myself.
I take my time and as Veronica said, take my clothes, shoes & jewelry in my closet.
Eventually, I only dress the two first days.
Even if I was eagerly looking forward for this opportunity to dress, the third morning, I didn't know why i just didn't want to.
Maybe it's because I felt lazy of doing all the make up, but foremost I had enough fun the two days before.
I just wanted to make something else, so I enjoyed my time with my "man" hobbies.

So for me, living as a woman 24/7 is just impossible, I don't want to & foremost I can't. I just enjoy my crossdressing escape moment.
I can't do it whenever I want it (girlfriend doesn't know for now, commitments to family and friends or at work) but I try to spare some "girly" time regularly.

Just my two cents,
Karine.

[Yukihime]

I try to make time at least once a month for dressing up en femme the whole day, and sometime also attend church on Sunday. A few things of note:

I simply can't last 24/7 with my breast forms and silicon shorts on, not in the heat and humidity of my country. The closest I got to doing so was during a trip to Thailand, where it's much easier to be a bit careless with my dressing.

If I keep my forms on all the time, it puts tremendous stress on my shoulders from trying to keep my back straight and elegant, from holding my bags up in a feminine way, and there's always a risk of a sweat rash developing. The same goes for my silicon shorts as I need to occasionally take them off. The built in catheter isn't as reliable as I hoped, and occasionally means I need to clean off an unwanted back wash into the shorts itself...

It's necessary for me to take short breaks to clean off and wash myself down, otherwise I wouldn't last. Maybe I could survive better if I did the 24/7 thing in a colder climate?

[Desiree2bababe]

I noticed that, once back in male mode, my mannerisms were still so very much feminine, especially hand movements and the swish in my walk. After a week with nails and in heels the majority of the time, the girl remained. The bounce in my bottom surprised me the most and I kind of enjoyed it.

I'm a retiree. Unless I have someplace to go that may require 'dressing up' in male mode, such as a wedding or funeral, you'll find me in a vee neck tee shirt and cut off shorts around the house. That's winter, spring, summer and fall. When out and about in winter I have to submit to jeans. That's my comfort zone. Somewhat unshaven too until my wife tells me I'm starting to look too shaggy. When my wife has gone out of town for a week or more I have worn women's clothing all the time unless there was a necessity in the daytime to accomplish something. I think I have reached the point where women's and men's clothing are just that; clothes. Due to my size (height and weight) there is a self imposed limit to public dressing en femme. If I was five foot six or so I probably would do those chores outside the home en femme too.

I have found that the desire to dress can ebb a bit after a couple days, yes. For me I believe the itch to revert back to male mode is born from mild guilt or purely habit more than comfort. Perhaps it is that I am much more accustomed to squeezing in a couple hours here or there rather than 24/7 access for so long a time; this automatically tells me to go put my male gear back on. During this stint I simply told myself that I long for such an opportunity quite often and now was the time. This helped me keep the forms and bra on, the heels, to slip into something different if I felt the urge to revert back too soon. It also helped that I put my male gear in a few bins and suitcases in our garage to limit access...and the fridge was stocked up.


I have spent a few days when my wife was away sorting through my femme wardrobe trying to decide what to wear. usually, I end up wearing the sameoutfit I wore the last time she was away. I'm hoping that the next she is out of town I will have something new and exciting to wear.

This occurs for me as well, Janine. I just find a comfort level with certain outfits and keep going back to them. This kind of dressing pattern does tend to happen in waves depending on the time of year (climate) or if I have acquired something new. During this last opportunity I politely guided myself to enjoy many different items that have long been forgotten or that I did not bother to wear. A couple sleeveless dresses, skirts, different lingerie, even some heels or flats as well as various sleepwear. Every moment was new.


I've done it a few times when everyone was out of town. Very exhilarating. Recently told my wife my secret and she doesn't want me to dress without her so I will respect that. Still waiting for the first chance to get fully dressed with her. Can't wait.

Kimberly! This sounds like an adventure in waiting. Hope you will create a thread and share how this pans out for you :)

How long ago was it when you found the chance to dress 24/7 for the first time? Were you married or with somebody? How did the experience go?

[DIANEF]

I've had, sadly rare, full weeks to myself and have spent almost all the time dressed. It was surprisingly easy (to me) to be able to do such a thing, and at the end of those weeks it was a real downer for them to end. This happened before I started going out and next month I may have four or five days to myself, so looking forward to it.

[Tina Davis]

The last few years I have had such an opportunity when my wife was at a national convention. She would be gone for 4-6 days, and I would bring all my clothes and heels into my closet and drawers. The first two years I still worked for some of the time, so I was not 24/7 until the weekend. This year I was fully dressed for 3 1/2 days, and the excitement of it did not wane during that whole time. I go shopping and out for a makeover, try to meet others, and generally enjoy myself just being as feminine as possible.

Unfortunately, my wife's service for this group has finished, so I don't know if she will attend next year's convention. Plus, my daughter now lives with us, so these multiple day dressing times won't happen again until she's on her own. So I have to be content with dressing at home for a few hours at a time.

I've been spoiled by the freedom of multiple days, but I wouldn't change anything about it. Next time, I would be more confident to interact with people as I found that there was no reason to be afraid of adverse reactions. No holding back any more!

Isn't that the truth, Tina? While I have no yearning to go public I do believe that by a certain stage in our lives we learn to say "what the heck" or "oh well, not my problem" to a few things and just be who we are. Hopefully the reactions, if any, are more positive and far less adverse when you make it happen again. :thumbsup:

[Sallee]

I find that after an extended time as Sallee The dressing grows old. I still enjoy and do continue to dress sometimes but after 3 or 4 days of 24 hr dressing I need a break to get the thrill back. I do find that I get vary comfortable in Sallee mode and can go about anywhere with out fear or even thinking about it. I kind of forget that I am in girl mode.
I have stayed in girl mode for probably a week and tehn enjoyed being a guy again.
I like be able to be fluid.

[GeorgiaD]

Some years ago I worked away from home 5 days a week for over a year and so I rented a house rather than spend time in various hotels.
It had two bedrooms and I established my femme self in one of them. This allowed me to put all my clothes and shoes away properly into drawers, wardrobes, and so on for the first time ever. I cleaned and ironed everything, much improving my appearance when dressed. I kept this room locked when anyone visited, telling them it was the landlords store.
For most of the time I worked from home fully dressed as Georgia and so my moring routine was much the same as any woman's. But I found that the novelty of spending an hour on my makeup each day soon wore off and I drastically reduced this to a quick application of light foundation and blusher and often no lippy.
I also found it too uncomfortable to wear my hip and bum pads and corset every day, even though it is these items that transformed my shape into that of a female.
Eventually I became happy with simple clothing much as most women wear each day at home. Tights, dress or skirt. Simple top or tee shirt, but always with a bra and forms and wig. My nails were always painted too. I found this was enough to make me feel very computable in myself, and much more so than when I am in drab.
I dressed like this every day without exception unless I was expecting a visitor, or knew I had to be on Skype, although often I simply claimed my camera was playing up.
These days I am at home and my clothes are back in sports bags locked in a cupboard in my office. I only get to be me when I am away on business.

[Helen_Highwater]

Reading Georgia's post made me think about the times I've spent time away from home, usually a week each year, where I've been able to dress 24/7. My next trip I think will bring up the dozen and in truth I'm really looking forward to it.

I attach my forms and tuck for the entire time. One of the things I love most is waking up and from the moment I get out of bed I'm in femme mode. As others have said it can get a little tiresome having to do the shaving, makeup etc but the rewards of being able to go out and mingle with the muggles are worth it. That said at the end of the week there's that bit of me pleased to be returning to drab and the other bit wishing to do it more often.

One of the things I do to remain motivated is seek out new experiences. In the past this has been things like traveling on public transport, going to the cinema or dining out. On my tick list this year is a fitting for a new wig. The cherry on the cake though has to be meeting other CD'ers. Being able to talk to others who've shared the same experiences, fears, triumphs even for a few hours makes what we do feel truly normal.

Veronica you haven't said if you go out but I'm reading it as not. I must admit that in the past being able to dress for extended periods but having not yet ventured out maintaining focus became ever more difficult. There's only so much mixing and matching you can do while confined within 4 walls and stay on song. Keeping a photo record isn't a bad idea as well as a diary of your thoughts and emotions. And of course there's makeup. Periods such as these are golden opportunities to improve, nay, perfect your makeup skills. There are so many online resources to cal upon it can only be time well spent.

I hope you're next home alone time goes swimmingly.

[Alice B]

Yes I did ther same thing, under similar circumstances and loved it. The mjor difference was that I could openly hang my clothes in our walk in cllset and had drawers for small items. My big 7/24 experience was attending DLV, where I could dress 7/24 for a whole week.Again my wife was OK woth this.

[sarah_hillcrest]

When I recently was home alone for 4 days I could have probably gone 24/7 but didn't.

Friday, went to a nearby town for shopping and a few errands, then put on a dress and did makeup in my car early afternoon and spent the rest of the night in girl mode.

Saturday, spent most of day with parents, came home and switched to girl clothes but didn't get glammed up until evening in a formal gown, then parents showed up knock at my door! After they left I had too much wine and ended up dancing in the backyard. Woke up in 4AM on couch a total mess.

Sunday, I slept in then visited parents and ended up helping my brother move furniture. I have no memory of what I did that night, I think I just put on some girl clothes and watched movies.

Monday, Last day, I got dressed early and went out to several places, bought gas. When I got home I changed back to normal and went cycling. Just girl clothes and netflix that night as well.

So I never spent a complete day as a girl. I think I may have visited my parents so much for an excuse to not dress if that makes any sense. When it was over I didn't miss the makeup, well I kind of did, and I didn't miss wearing my wig whenever I wanted, but I did miss just lounging around in a comfy nightie or dress.

[Jennifer in CO]

well, I did the 24/7 thing back in the early 80's...for 5 years. Yes, I transitioned and lived full time as a woman with my wife (its a VERY long story). After a while the novelty wore off and you just wear what you need and let it go at that. makeup?...if I have to. Heels?...really?....ok. Bra?...had to..that why I transitioned as I had a chest sporting a full "C" (ok - B+). Anyway, yes you can "put on the Ritz" but it really required a reason at that point...

[Becky Blue]

A lot of work travel back in the day, I was not able to be 24/7 but did manage 15 or 16 hours many days in a row... 24/7 is high on my long bucket list

[Jenny22]

I sleep in the nude. Otherwise, I'm fully en femme at home. So you might say I'm 24/7. My greatest 24/7 experience was at Diva Las Vegas last April. Wow, what a trip for me.

[biancabellelover]

I’ve managed a couple of 24/7’s. It is lovely, and I’m about to get a chance to do another.

My wife and I are about to get on a plane and return home after a three week trip away. So from about midday Sunday through to Tuesday evening it will be skirts and dresses (fem jeans and blouse when at the dog park).

[kimdl93]

In the past couple years, I’ve lived alone and have allowed myself the occasional all out weekend. Basically, I’ll shed the male trappings and spend the entire weekend as a woman, at home and around my little RV park neighborhood. But Monday mornings I retreat back to male mode.

beginning about 8 years ago, I started experimenting with dressing full time and interacting with the world, spending as much as two weeks straight as a woman. I did everyday activities, traveled, attended theater, and on a few occasions introduced myself anew to friends. I have to confess that I found it liberating and exhilarating.

[Cwest862]

I recently had the opportunity to dress 16/7 while my wife was away for three weeks. ( couldn’t dress during work hours but could underdress. I guess that counts.)

I did not get bored! I practiced my make-up nightly. Changed outfits 2-3 times a day during the weekends. Went shopping. Did all my household chores en femme.

It was wonderful. I may get another chance next month. What I will do different: plan a make over for the first day; take some time off work; buy all of my supplies early so that I’m able to maximize my Charli time. Hit up some of the places you girls have mentioned for shopping, maybe even plan an outing if any of the girls nearby are available. I’m determined to not stay house bound this time!

Hugs,
Charli

[Nicolecdmd]

So I have given this a lot of thought. While I feel me as a woman should represent a classy woman at all times (heels, make up and dressed well) I am starting to realize causal dressing is getting more appealing. I have only spent about 12 hours as Nicole I do think about 24/7. With that being said I think a nice part of tights, pink sweat shirt and tennis shoes sounds really fun.

Hi Charli...

While I don't wear makeup I hear you on ensuring any new items are in the house by the time these opportunities arrive. New blouses, skirts, other items. I, too, will try a few outfits per day to maximize the time depending on the activity. From blouse, skirt and heels for email, a uniform or mid-length dress for chores, pjs and robe for mornings and evenings, and some special items for those rare times when I really want to try something different. Dressing for the entire time really opens up those options.

[Tahoegurl]

Hi Veronica,
I have had a few chances to dress for days in a row. It is always a little bumpy at first but as time passes I get more relaxed and get into a "normal" rhythm of makeup, clothes and chores. I also have a variety of outfits so I am not always dressing up for prom. I love the casual dress too. I do have a love of heels and nice bras so those are always on the list. I am just really grateful that I have a supportive spouse and have the opportunities to enjoy my life. Cheers.

[CynthiaD]

I've had the opportunity to spend a few weeks 24/7 several times in the past. At other times, I dress every day, but usually not all day. Yes, it does become routine. (I love it being routine!) You still spend time applying makeup and putting together outfits, but when you're 24/7 it's just a necessary part of life, not a thrill. If I'm in a hurry, I can get out the door in 15 minutes, but 30 minutes is my usual. When I look in the mirror and see a woman looking back at me, it pleases me no end, but it's no longer a thrill. The woman looking back at me is the real me. That guy I see sometimes is someone I never really knew.

Sometimes I look down at my dress and think, "Yes, I'm a woman, and I can go wherever I want, and do whatever I want." I get immense satisfaction from this thought, but no thrills. And that's exactly the way I want it to be. Being a woman is just an ordinary part of my life, not a deep dark secret, not a departure from the norm, just part of my regular life.

[CrossKimmy]

I Had a very similar experience while I was watching the house for my family one time and it was so wonderful to see my stuff hanging in the closet my underwear and my drawers and sleeping enfemme. I long for moments like that

[Lea]

When I was working every year I would take one weeks vacation and dress for nine days. My wife approves so I would pack up my male clothing so all I would see is Lea's clothing. I usually did this in late fall so I could also shave my body hair off.

For me the third or fourth day was really nice. I would usually go from the excitement of being able to dress to the contentment of just getting dressed in my clothing. It just became a normal everyday part of life.

I did cheat a few times and take my wig off for a few hours. Bald may be beautiful but I am envious of those who do not need them.

[MsEva]

I am in the start of the full dress sessions. Every year my wife visits her sister in CO. That gives me about two weeks to dress whenever I please. No, it hasn't gotten old. Yes, she knows and is ok with the dressing but it is nice not to worry about things. Great to do my nails (grow them out a bit for the week) daily and dress in all my outfits. I always have my stuff in the closet next to hers anyway. I am thinking (as I do each time she goes) to go online and get some new pretty stuff. Maybe tonight.

[biancabellelover]

It’s been a lovely week.

My wife and I arrived home from our trip last Sunday morning. The only male clothing I’ve worn since then were my sneakers and hoodie when I walked our dogs. I’m still presenting as a male when out with the dogs, but am wearing fem jeans and a plain blouse.

Once home, get changed into something dressy, with my padded bra, hips and bum.

Five days in a row dressed! Not necessarily an achievement for some here, but my best effort to date.

Small steps like this help both me and my wife.

Oh dear, Dez.
I just spent a good deal of the summer, over 6 weeks, home alone without my "adult supervision" [wife gone to the east coast residence]. I'll let that sink into your imagination for a while. I was home alone and my DADT, not-enthusiastic but beloved partner was gone. For over 6 weeks. I used it well.
The first thing I did was tow my boat 2000 miles across country to a place in the Carolinas. Thank God, back to the sea. I made the drive in my pick up truck entirely en femme. I am here to tell you that a maxi skirt and (just) panties is the coolest way EVER to make a long interstate highway drive.
Next, I flew home (to Colorado) en femme. I had myself made up at the airport mall beauty store, as I had a long lay over. That was another great experience.

Almost immediately upon returning home, it was Pride Week. After I took care of my daily and weekend duties of Real Life, I participated in a few Pride events and got out (en femme, of course).
I pretty much did everything en femme that I would do in real life dressed in drab or any mode for that matter. I did almost all my shopping en femme; the grocery, Walmart, Target, the mall. Went out to eat, both sit down and some fast food indoors. Ran a few other errands en femme, and attended a MLB baseball game en femme.
I lived the dream for over 6 weeks. I loved and absorbed every hour of it. Never once ashamed or inhibited. The experience was positively liberating.
At the end of it, I took my [Colorado] grandchildren with me to the Carolinas and my other residence. We spent time on the beach and on the boat. We had a great couple of weeks with ALL my grandkids in one place. When it was time for the kids to begin school, we all flew back to Colorado; me, my wife and 2 grandchildren.

It's been a great summer in that respect.
It's been tough giving it up and resuming my drab mode life after living the dream for weeks. It felt so comfortable. So natural and real. It got so that i didn't think about "dressing". I just put on some clothes (and my wig), and often with little or no make up to go out of the house. I just loved living en femme 24/7 for an extended time.
Gradually..... I'm gradually getting there; to where I wish to be. I'm in gender therapy now. I can go slowly and let my transition fade into me. No need to rush things.

[Sashauk]

Being single sucks at times but at least it means I can dress how I want to whenever I want to.

I don't think I could honestly say I spend 24 hours a day or seven days a week dressed in female attire but it has to be the majority of the time. Unless I am meeting up with family or friends (I'm not out to them) I will always have a bra on, and I wear panties all the time. In the house it will always be skirts and tops or dresses. Out shopping it will always be women's jeans or shorts - and for my walking this summer I have been wearing a skort.

As I can please myself I think the trill of wearing feminine clothes has worn off to a certain extent and now has just become a part of who I am. Like anything that is restricted you always crave for it, but once the restriction is removed it no longer has the same effect. For me putting on a skirt in the morning is as natural as putting on a pair of jeans.

[sometimes_miss]

what things did you notice the first time or two that you did this?
It wasn't the first time; Because that was when I was pretty young, and I only had a brief occasion to do it, so I was more focused on when one of the other family members would come home.
It was in my teens. At that point, I was still trying to understand exactly how a girl felt during a normal day. So it included all the little inconveniences that came with the clothes and behaviors. A bra that feels so good to put on, can become a bit annoying if it doesn't fit just right, as well as if it slides into the wrong position and you can't just pull and push everything because real girls don't do that in public. Same with the hair; in my teens I had long hair, and tried to style it like the girls did, using barrettes, bobby pins and clips to keep it all in place. I never did get the skill of braiding my own hair evenly.
I think the most significant thing to deal with, was how much trouble it was to get so undressed just to go to the bathroom, because I used to wear one of those all-in-one briefer panty girdle things that zipped up and had garters for the stockings, too. Wearing panties and undoing the eye hooks on the tab that connected front to back in the crotch, doing 'my business', then having to readjust everything several times during the day was an adventure that first all day time!
The next would be years later, I tried to wear a pair of six inch heels all day long. Man, they could use that trick to get prisoners to give up their secrets it hurt my feet so much. Didn't help, of course, that I was wearing shoes two sizes too small because there simply weren't any size 15 girl shoes for men back then.

[lingerieLiz]

When young I did it often. I passed and when I learned that I could go out during the day and pass while shopping except for work I spent most of my time as a girl. I made friends with several girls and went shopping with them.

Over the years I've lost my fem face, but I wear women's clothes full time. I nor the women my age wear dresses so I wear pants, shorts, jeans as they do. I also wear women's tops. I get some looks but nothing serious.

[Veronica Lacey]

It has been great to read what many of you have experienced in the way of longer dressing sessions or simply every day dressing. Many posts validate my own thoughts that I truly wish that wearing women's clothing were as natural a thing as wearing male attire: you wear what pleases you on the day or what suits the occasion as you see fit.

It would be a wonderful arrangement if I could wear femme attire at home almost all the time and simply choose male attire for outside the home; this would be my perfect comfort level. I do not feel like a woman displaced in a male body so I am happy to be a male in public and experience more of my female side in private with no goals of changing that. As some have commented, having such attire as a regular part of life would mean not even blinking an eye about donning panties, skirt and top or a dress as a normal thing, without conscious thought. This is what I hope for should it ever be a possibility.

Thanks so much to all of you for sharing; please continue to share if you wish. :)

Veronica.

[Janine cd]

I'm experiencing a full weekend of dressing. It's nice to be able to hang my dresses and skirts in full view in the closet and keep my wigs and makeup on the bathroom vanity. Wearing a nightie to bed each night is an added pleasure.

[emmajane]

[ElianaFrozenflame]

I have a very supportive wife, and work from home most of the week. So I can dress as much as I want to. When you dress to the nines several days in a row, it is nice to just put on a pair of jeans, a top, and some flats. I don't (yet) go out in public. That will come, eventually. When I do long dressing excursions, I find myself, at times, looking forward to getting back into guy mode.

After a complete makeover I spent three days as a woman and the thing I noticed the most is how my hands felt after wearing two inch nails 24/7 for three days, that and how feminine my walk was afterwards, it was almost hard to walk flat footed afterwards. It was a fun time however, loved waking up in my silky nightgown, shaving my legs in a soft bubble bath. The perfume, the clothes..........

The first time 24/7; wow. Not exactly '7', but for a weekend, that was a long time ago. Probably when I was initially moved out of my parents place, and sharing an apartment with another guy. He went on vacation to the Caribbean, for a few weeks. So on my weekends off, I dressed up and slept that way, remaining dressed as a girl all weekend.
The first time I was able to do it for 7 (and more) days in a row was maybe when I broke my leg and was home alone for an extended period. Girly on crutches.

I'm a little different in that the most I can stand to stay dressed is about 7 hours, then I just want to get back to being a boy!

I've never had the opportunity to dress for a week or longer, but several times 4-5 days have been possible. For me, it does not get old. Rather, I have been left strongly wishing for more, especially the unconstrained opportunity to dress or not, full makeup or not, to come and go as I wish. Sadly, that will never happen. My wife does not understand or approve, so opportunities are few and far between.

The worst aspect of dressing completely multiple days in a row, for me at least, has been the need to shave more closely than normal every day. That's a bit hard on the face. Makeup (which I love) covers visible problems, but does not repair the scraped skin. So, some days I don't go out, staying at home partially dressed without shaving. Likewise, use of forms nonstop for several days can cause my chest skin to become red with irritation that persists for a day or so. The forms and my chest need to be cleaned with soap daily and dried very well to prevent this. In summer, the situation is worse than in cooler seasons.
