How has your dressing evolved since the first time you dressed?

[michelleg]

I started as a teen, wearing my Mom's lingerie and dresses and sometimes playing with makeup. I admit I was hooked the first time I put on a slip, it felt amazing and I could not imagine not continuing to do it, so every chance I had I was getting dressed. As I got older I started shaving, when I thought I could get away with it, and trying to spend as much time as I could dressed. After leaving home I purchased my own things and continued to dress anytime that I could and now I didn't have to worry about shaving so I happily went totally smooth and loved it. Now I have a closet full of girl clothes, dresser full of lingerie and a lot of heels, tons of wigs and a lot of makeup. I dress a lot more, I have went out in public, some friends know I dress and I enjoy the ability to purchase the clothes I want to wear and enjoy changing fashions and cute outfits. This has been my experience, please tell me about yours I would love to hear them, thanks.

[Tracy Irving]

I started out wearing panties. Now I have a closet full of anything I want to wear.

[Tracii G]

I do it every day now?

[Sarah Doepner]

My top 3 are;
I have my own fashion sense now that isn't dependent on a few "borrowed" items.
I'm comfortable being casual.
I don't have to wear shoes that don't fit.

[Allisa]

Hummmm, lets see, in a nutshell, no heart palpitations or profuse sweating, no jumping at every noise and above all no sexual arousal anymore. Does living full time count?

[wendy]

My dressing has totally evolved.

I started by trying on my mom's panties. It felt great, the smoothness of the material was exhilarating (compared to my tightie whities). I eventually worked up to my mom's swimsuits (she had 2, one swimdress and the other a 2 piece, bikini bottom and tie behind top). I then moved onto the other items in her closet, dress, separates (blouse/skirt combo).

As I got older, I started to buy my own stuff, swimsuits, aerobic tights/leggings (yes, 80s and I regret purging those), and shapewear.

Fast forward to today, I've now included items like makeup, wig, jewellery. Wendy has her own closet with her own set of outfits, including an expanded set of shapewear and 110+ one piece swimsuits.

[Shely]

Yes, it has come the full circle. Now I dress 100% with full makeup, jewelry and of course a wig. I also just have perfume on while dressing. The process is as full and fun as the going out when I ger dressed. I just wish I could go out in a pretty mode instead of a blending in mode. Maybe someday I will be able to party with others of this interest.

[NancySue]

My first experience was when I was young. The instant I put on a pair nylon stockings, I was hooked. For several years, I was only interested in hose. Then one day, out of the blue, I began trying on other things...some I enjoyed, others..so-so.
Now, I have everything, and more, I need and dress, to some degree, every day. Other than my supportive wife, no one knows.

[Danielle_cder]

Evolved from just the thrill of pantyhose to out and about woman;)

[Maid_Marion]

My style has gotten "younger." I'm comfortable wearing a Junior's crop top and short shorts in public that shows off my figure. :) Though I'm short enough that you can't see bare skin at the waist unless I raise my hands.

[Raychel]

Started out as just Lingerie when I was a teenager.
Now a full closet of womens clothes.
No doubt more then most women have. :doh:

[Sometimes Steffi]

I started out with my mom's panties, which was very exciting, if you catch my drift. The I discovered her girdles. I loved how tight they were on me. Then, or course bras, stuffed with socks. My mom didn't have any pantihose, only stockings. I watched a movie on TV where one of the actresses pulled on and hitched up stockings to her girdle. That's how I figured out how to use the garters on the girdles.

Next, I got into my mom's lipstick and jewelry. She didn't have her ears pierced, so I could try on her earrings.

My mom alwas had a very neat and organized pantie drawer. I was always very careful to put everything back where it came from. One time, I opened her pantie drawer and it was all messed up. I thought it was a trap to catch me, so I didn't touch anything in her room. I went down to the basement where she kept her "extra" clothes. I found a couple of bathing suits, and all kinds of other clothes that I didn't have to worry do much about putting them back "correctly". She also had some jewelry down there, including a ring that almost got stuck on my finger.

But, best of all, the had a beautiful, blue, heavily-beaded evening gown. I thing it would have fit me at that time, but I was afraid to pull the zipper all the way up, in case I got stuck in it.

Fast forward to today. Name a piece of women's clothing (except socks) and I probably have more of them than my wife does. SInce I'm in a DADT marriage, my wife tolerates, but doesn't want to see me dressed, never mind shop with me. As a result, I've always shopped myself, or with TG friends, and I've developed my own style, totally different than my wife. I've gone out and about a lot, been to Keystone 8 times, and I've probably gotten 30 makeovers.

[countrygirl]

It started with mom and sisters clothes than I started buying my own. Now Amanda is her own person. She is very happy to be her.

[Shayna]

My taste is now less fantasy teenage hooker-like clothes, more towards things actual women would wear.

[Helen_Highwater]

Michelle,

Mine is similare to many. Mon's girdlesand stockings, early additions were items "rescued" from the jumble sale bag. Into my 20's are started buying things for myself but on the pretense that there were presents which meant I squeezed my size 9's into size 7's.

Firstly the internet told me I wasn't alone and online shopping and this forum gave me so much confidence.

Now my wardrobe is populated with things that fit me and suit my age. I hope I've learned to put together outfits that range from smart casual through to classic elegance.

Above all else I've learned to be confident in my choices. To buy things I'll actually be prepared to wear out and about and not just for the mirror to admire.

I'm still not sure that you can have enough shoes though.

[Bobbi46]

Like so many, small beginninhgs just panties and tights but the desire to dress more and be myself only came about after my 2nd divorce to now with a resonable wardrobe and being able to please myself.

[Karmen]

I started with panties and pantyhose, trying on my mom's heels and clothes. Gradually I advanced to my own clothes, shoes, wigs and makeup. But I never came out. I still crossdress in secret while at home or go out in the night or foreign cities when I don't expect to cross paths with someone I know.

[Angela Marie]

I started wearing my moms tights when I was very young but never went too far beyond that. When running tights became popular I began wearing those on my runs. In my 40's I progressed to full dressing; and at 65 I continue to dress and present my feminine side.

[Roxanne Lanyon]

Well, I began with my Mom's things I found in the clothes hamper. Needless to say, it was things like panties and such. I was such a child back in the 60's! Now, I am much older, divorced, and on my own. I adore being Roxanne Lanyon, and I wear pretty dresses, Capri's, and much more fashionable clothing. In fact, I built a closet in my basement to house all of my dainties and other feminine items! Yes, I am Roxanne Lanyon, and I try to be a girl! I am even looking for a partner in all of this, so I can enjoy it all with companionship! No, not a wife, but someone who also likes, loves, people who dress and love femininity!

Your Girl, Roxanne Lanyon

[Jillian Faith]

My top 3 are;
I have my own fashion sense now that isn't dependent on a few "borrowed" items.
I'm comfortable being casual.
I don't have to wear shoes that don't fit.

Sarah took the words right out of mouth....Amen!

[MonicaPVD]

I began as a child, wearing my mother's and sister's tights and underwear. That went on for some time. When I went away for college that evolved into dressing in skimpy outfits (mostly in private). In my 20s I began to go out dressed and was not very concerned with passing or blending in. I mostly dressed for nightlife and for the entertainment of certain boys. Then I stopped for several years. Over the past couple of years I have been perfecting my ability to blend in as a woman of my age, and have really enjoyed spending time interacting with people and just being out as a woman without drawing attention to myself.

[Cheryl T]

Like so many I started young (about 5) with Mom's panties (I still love nylon styles), then a bra, then pantyhose.
From there it was onward and upward. As I got older it was dresses and heels, then makeup in my teens. I have to admit I looked pretty trashy as my only guide for makeup was Playboy magazine and I was terrible at application. Puberty brought all the excitement that the forbidden and the fabrics held.
Later it was more classy, but still heels and hose were a must.

Now I'm just the average lady you see anywhere you go.
Heels and hose and a lovely dress for the occasion, shorts, sandals and a cute top in the summer, my swimsuit at the lake, jeans and a pretty sweater in the fall with boots or shooties. I'm not a wall flower, but I'm not the stunning rose in the bouquet either. I'm just another flower that has grown and blossomed and is part of the overall and I love it.

[Jean 103]

I was talking to one of my friends (GG) about this Friday night at the bar.

My friends have whated me grow. From someone unsure about everything to just one of the girls.

I have developed my own style. I dress more like my friends, but I prefer to wear dresses. I don't care if I'm the only one wearing a dress.

I rarely wear stockings, this is because of my friends. They don't wear them and don't want me to either. In stead like my friends I maintain a tan.

Also I no longer wear wigs . My friends got me to stop and grow my hair out. I have it dyed at one of my closest friends shop. I'm not ready to be an old gray haired lady and may never be . Besides it gives us a chance to visit with my friend as I have to get my roots done once a month.

The biggest change would be instead of adding padding to make my clothes fit, I wear clothes that fit my body. This is something I did early on when I was trying to find my own style.

[Patience]

Back in the day, I’d put on a dress and call it a day. Also, I was very closeted back then.

Now I’m out and have friends (well, one of them) who jokes that he doesn’t have to remember my fem name when he sees me out and about in drab.

[CarlaWestin]

Growing up with sisters, nimble fingers could help with rollers. Mom's bras beckoned from her lingerie drawer.
So obsessed with breasts, I had to have my own.
Later on after finally determining there was nothing wrong with my adventures and that it was a special gift,
I started truly exploring the female experience. Now it's my favorite secondary activity that exemplifies everything else.

[alwayshave]

I had a whole bunch of older sisters and a mother who kept her overflow in my room.

[Stephanie47]

My introduction to wearing women's clothing was my mother's full slips. I loved the feel of the nylon. There was nothing sexual about wearing them which was only briefly whenI took them off the clothes drying washline. I also tried on her nylon nightgowns. As I got older I progressed to her bras, girdles, panties and hosiery. There was one sundress I could squeeze into. If I remember correctly trying on her clothes stopped when I outgrew her clothes.

Several years later (5+?) when I was married I tried on one of my wife's nightgowns. That led to bedroom play as we purchased nighties and hosiery for me. After our first child was born my wife asked that I not wear the nighties in bed as our son's crib was at the foot of the bed....small one bedroom apartment. After we moved across country and finally bought a house I started to buy full slips and finally bras and panties. When my wife had a Sunday job for several hours I jumped at the "crumbs of time" as I called it. I got maybe three or four hours to dress every Sunday. About 1983 we finally had "The Talk."

When my wife finally went back to work I would take off a "mental therapy" day from work and dress up. Ultimately I started buying dress and wigs and heels. It's been DADT. Over the years I have accumulated over 160 dresses and hundred of slips and panties..plenty of hosiery...and heels. As my wife has had several medical issues and surgeries my time to dress has been significantly reduced. No available time for full dressing so it is now wearing panties instead of my guy underwear and sleeping in a nightgown as we sleep apart due to medical/back issues.

[Robertacd]

Well I basically went from wearing my mothers clothes to buying and wearing my own clothes.

As for styles and fashion, when I first started with my own clothes, I would wear and buy anything that fit. I never went out so it didn't matter if they went together or even looked good on me. I went through periods where I would obsess over a certain look or style secretary, hippy, ball gowns, elegant dresses, etc... Since I have come out as TG and actually spend time in public dressed, I try to only buy clothes that I will actually wear out in public. Jeans, shorts, cute tops, casual dresses and skirts in age and activity appropriate styles that I feel comfortable, feminine, and even sexy in when I am wearing them.

[Deedee_tv]

Like many here, I started with my Moms things until I was in my early teens and outgrew her. I’ve always had a job and money so once I graduated from college and moved to the big city, I started to explore. I kept it pretty low key for the 26 years I was married and raising children. I wore panties, women’s jeans and some shoes during those years. My ex was somewhat accepting. I dressed for several Halloween’s during that time, occasionally shaved my legs and began incorporating more female clothing into my daily wardrobe.

Today I am divorced and do my own thing whenever I want. I am out to my kids and all of my best friends. If I’m not at work, I am wearing 100% women’s casual clothing in public. I have two walk in closets, one men’s and one women’s. I have at least 4 times more women’s clothes and shoes than men’s. I’m out to my hairdresser who colors, cuts, and styles my hair very feminine when I go to the shop wearing skinny jeans, cute tops and women’s shoes. I have embraced makeup and am getting much better. I’m often in full makeup and dresses at parties around my friends who are all comfortable with it and and know it is just my style. Yeah, I would say I have evolved a lot. ������

[AngelaYVR]

Since I first started fully dressing six years ago my style is finally able to reflect what I always envisioned: retro styles, quality fabrics, 50s aesthetic. It took some time and persistence to build up a good wardrobe. What I wore before was like experimentation and although it was ok and only slightly cringeworthy, I feel like my look has become more refined. I also don’t go out to the clubs anymore so I’ve given away all the mini skirts. Something that will never change, however, is the wearing of stockings under those outfits!

[Asew]

As a teenager I would dress when I had the house to myself. It was always a small part of my life until I accepted it 20 months ago. Even since then it changes in terms of how often (more and more) and my preferences. And will continue to evolve :)

[Lucy23]

When I was a teenager, I would occasionaly dress in my mum's clothes, but stopped when they became small. Then it stopped for several years and resurfaced with my first girlfriend, then stopped again, and resurfaced in mid 20s to last until now. At first it was about skirts and tights, but has evolved to dressing as a woman from the neck down. I have found my style, and a nice wardrobe to accomodate what I need from dressing.

[Robinadress]

In the beginning I borrowed clothes from my mother and my sister, and only when I was alone. As a child I would take a skirt out to the woods just to wear it outside. In my youth I started building up my own wardrobe. I started going more out, but everybody I read about was wearing wigs and makeup so I thought I also had to even though I only did it for the skirts and dresses. For the last ten years I have thrown away the wig and the makeup, and know I go out just wearing skirts, dresses and heels.

[BTWimRobin]

For me it started as a young teen trying on mom's things snd experimenting with her makeup. Then suppressed it for a few years until my girlfriend at the time loved to dress me up. Suppressed it for some thirty years. A few months ago I finally, gave into my desire, came out to my accepting, supportive wife and now I am trying to get my look together. Still figuring it all out... and loving every minute of it.

[Judy-Somthing]

Wow it seems like most of us have similar stories!
When I see my self I love it!

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Michelle :hugs:, I have been in this program for over 72years now and
I have a huge collection of clothes, shoes, lingerie, wigs & accessories,


I would say that I have totally evolved into Crossdressing. >Orchid .oO:daydreaming:Oo.

[VS Fan]

Kindergarten: Halloween costume was The Hulk... which included green tights. I remember expressing my displeasure that they were girls’ tights but my mom convinced me that without them I wouldn’t be green. Memories are hazy but I believe I actually liked the way they felt.

nothing for years and years...

freshman in HS: at an all night gaming session at a friends house with a friend who had an older sister. During a break somehow I made it into her room and got a pair of panties out of her drawer. Kept those all summer wearing them off and on.

Nothing for a few years

senior in HS: discovered a pair of my moms nylons and tried them on... quickly put them back

nothing for a few years

sophomore or junior in college: my live in girlfriend moved out (break up) and she accidentally left behind a pair of VS second skin panties... wore them for a few days or a week before she eventually came and got all the other stuff she had forgotten and I threw those in the bag with everything else. (Still regret that! Lol)

nothing for a few years

Married after college and tried on one of my wife’s nighties when no one was home. Would buy nylons and wear them at night when traveling for work and throw them away before I got home.

nothing for a few years

married for about 5 years and I was transferred for a job - somehow ended up with a pair of wife’s panties (seriously was on accident) in my things... wore them constantly while I was in the new city before she moved up a few months later. Also discovered that I really enjoyed shaving my chest.

nothing for a couple of years

was on a business trip and stumbled into a Victoria’s Secret store in the local mall - bought a couple nighties and panties claiming they were for my wife. SA was beautiful and helpful. Wore them at night on that trip - I was now officially hooked. Collected a small stash of panties (10?) and kept them hidden in my home office.

about a year later discovered a box of skirts and other things that were in the attic - started trying those on.

moved again, and now I was working from home 100% of the time... got measured for some life insurance policy and when they measured me at 38” around the chest - I was like “oh....?” Found a bra of my wife’s from her pregnancy that was 38C... tried that on.... liked it. Jumped right into it and bought silicone breasts from fredericks of Hollywood...

started buying my own clothes: skirts, tops, nylons etc....

a couple years later later had a big bin full of stuff and finally realized that “uhhh I’m a crossdresser!!” Spent a lot of time browsing this site until I finally had the courage to tell my wife what was going on. Near disaster but we worked out the whole DADT thing.

Went on like that for about 10 more years until various other things in our marriage caused me to move out and to another state for about 75% of the time... still married but who knows what will come. But I now sleep in what I want, wear what I want during the day (still working from home).... and while lonely I am at least content with this side of me.

what a journey....

[JocelynJames]

Well , the first time I dressed it was hose, bra , dress and block heels , no makeup...and it was my mom’s. Now, it may be all those things, probably a bit more stylish, with makeup and a wig... and the clothes are all mine.

[Kaylin]

My dressing has also really evolved ALOT!

Earlier this year when I came out to my wife that I was crossdressing. It freaked her out in a few different ways right away. Now she doesn't care and actually takes part. And loves her Kaylin time. As a kid, I started dressing when I was 12 years old. I seen my aunt wearing a fancy dress at a relative's wedding. A few weeks later I was at her house, and I put the same dress on with her panty hose and high heels and that's where it all started. She caught me dressing but she ended up being supportive of my Cding. I went off and on throughout the years dressing and doing/learning makeup. Ex girlfriends of mine used to find stockings and other things in my underwear drawers. But never had an issue with it. Other than steal my chick gear lol up until this year I really got serious with all of this. My wife actually is helping. She encouraged me to start shaving and all that. Now I have 2 full wardrobes. Its been an amazing experience. And still getting better. Now I'm actively in drag too. So I'm very thankful and grateful for all of this. And all of you wonderful ladies I've met on this forum with great advice too.

[Petra1]

My dressing started as a result of wanting to know what it was like to have breasts. At first, it was borrowing mom’s bra and stuffing with rolled towels. Gradually, step by step, moved up to full dressing in women’s clothes. Each step spurred on by my curiosity of “What would it be like if...” or “What would it be like to do _______ dressed or with breasts?” Now, Petra has her own closet full of clothes, shoes, wigs, breast forms, etc. I’m not a full-time dresser but more of a hobby dresser. Usually when I’m home alone though I have taken occasional drives in the middle of the day or to work when that involved leaving in the middle of the night.

[Joanne Curl]

Like many, I started very young (around 8 or 9) wearing my mom’s clothes, pulling them out of the hamper. I graduated to using her makeup and teaching myself how to use it. I then started wearing her pretty dresses in the back of her closet. By 13 I was growing my hair long- it was in style then for boys. I started rolling a setting my hair after everyone went to bed and I’d sleep in curlers and setting solution. I’d wake up early and unroll my hair and I absolutely loved my curled blond full head of hair. I started buying my own ****ty clothes. Over the years as I aged I started buying appropriate clothes so I could go out and fit in. I’m still very much in the closet but when I do dress I try to dress age appropriate so I can blend in.

[Lux]

Similar story to others here. My earliest memories, I can remember trying on my mother’s pantyhose after being fascinated watching her put them on. I loved comic books and super heroes so around age 7-8, she let me wear tights, a danskin leotard and let me wear her boots so I could run around dressed up all day. That’s probably how this all started! :daydreaming:

I’ve always dressed head to toe but to answer the OP’s question, I’d say the the biggest evolution of my dressing is the regular use YouTube for make up techniques and the purchase of silicone hip pads and a breast plate I just started wearing. This gurl needed a little (ok, maybe a lot!) help with curves to hide the boy bod :heehee:

[StephanieIndy]

Like most my early experiences were with panties and tights, this expanded to wearing my sisters skirts and dresses.

Now I have a full wardrobe and dress fem pretty much all day every day except for work where I wear a uniform, I am Trans but not out at work so still need to wear the male uniform :(

[Jayne44C]

Started with Mother's clothes, shoes. It was a thrill, it was exciting. It's morphed over the decades. Now it's about looking as passable as possible but, I don't. It's about feeling comfortable with myself, not getting a thrill.

[Kendra Sue]

Started pretty tame but now I can underdress and feel confident. Wish I could pass as a woman

Kendra Sue is my ulter ego. I sometimes want to forget about life for a while

[Ressie]

Even though my first CD experiences were ~60 years ago, I've improved during the last 10-20 years.

Two things I haven't gotten into:
1)false eyelashes. Can't get the hang of it and it's too frustrating to pursue.
2)Hip/leg pads. When I look at a lovely GG in a nice dress I feel that padding can't quite get that look. I don't wanna try that hard to emulate a woman. But I love breast forms!

[Jennifer2918]

it started with going to my parents shower and seeing mom's pantyhose hanging to dry, probably age 10 or 12. Could help be feel them and try them on. I remember the first time, having no experience with pantyhose, I tried putting them on like a pair of pants, one leg at a time. What a mistake. Anyways, I figured it out and would put them one each time I took a shower.

Then I found the pleasure of nudity and the crossdressing took a break through teen years, but in the mid 20's, it came back full force.

On my days off, when the wife had to work, it was safe to dress and go out limitedly.

Then kids came and the dressing was back on vacation.

Now they are grown and i can dress again. The relationship has always been DADT, but she knows and thats what matters. No hiding or sneaking....

Its as good as its going to get, but its enough for me.

[lingerieLiz]

When I was about 5 or so my mother put me in my sister's panties. I told my parents that I wanted to wear them all the time. They said no. I tried on my mothers clothes because I thought they were pretty. Like most of us I continued. When I went out on my own I began buying clothes and eventually going out dressed. I passed quite easily. I never wanted to be a girl, but enjoyed being accepted as one. As I got older I went through a lot of stages. People accepted me and I moved toward openly wearing women's clothes full time. As I've gotten old i don't try to look like a woman. I do wear casual women's clothes and underdress full time. Women give me a hug and feel my bra band. I haven't purchased male clothes in years. I do own a few dresses and have worn them around the house and to the neighbors. My neighbors have seen me wearing nightgowns and robes blowing in the wind to get the paper. Most all our friends are aware of my choice in clothes and I shop with my wife and several women who know. I don't wear forms, but women's clothes fit me better than men's.

[larissa-laurie]

I had a nice long paragraph typed and lost it somehow. So simply said, once my sister dressed me up totally in her school clothes, from panties, bra, girdle and nylons, slip, skirt and blouse, make-up and wig, I was so excited it stuck. She helped me to dress girly whenever I could. She used to take me to town en femme and look at clothes with her. It was fun to go in the ladies dressing room with her and try nice dresses and skirts on. It has been a great time dressing so ladylike and going out to ladies dress shops and getting help from many ladies to look real feminine.

[Cynthia_0101]

When I was younger I would dress and feel guilty after. I told my wife 5 months into dating and she saw me dressed once in 1998. Even though she knew and was accepting of it I was still not comfortabel with it so I would only dress while she was away or asleep. It was not until about 2013 that I was able to reconcile with myself that my dressing was not hurting me or anyone else and I should embrace it.

Now I would spend lots of time dressed if I could find the extra time.

[rachel_rachel]

My taste is now less fantasy teenage hooker-like clothes, more towards things actual women would wear.

id say a lot of us would’ve started out that way. I know I did.
But now I’ve evolved into quite a classy dressing mid 40s woman.

[Maid_Marion]

Hi Lingerie Liz,

I am just like you in that I find that women's clothes fit way better than men's clothes!
I tried 250g forms but they are about 32C on me which makes me look top heavy!
I fill a 32A bra which is just fine from a fashion perspective. I like the way I look in Junior's XS tops.

Yesterday I looked at myself in a white raglan shirt with gray sleeves and decided showed off the "girls" too much,
even though it was a crew neck..
So I wore something else to go out shopping.

[Vintage4sarah]

I guess that this story is pretty simple. As a teen, it was purely a fetish for nylons until when a teen, I had several opportunities to fully dress as a woman right down to a wig. I loved the look, but real life intervened as university, getting drafted, married and great career and family placed all of that on the back burner for decades.

Fast forward to 20 years ago when the urge and the opportunities merged, Sarah was created from enhancing my earlier fetishes into full blown dressing, to meet other dressers, to where I am today. Now I relish the chance to go all the way in creating the woman I always wanted to be. It now involves projecting the image of a classy mature lady who now has lots of friends and admirers. Just being out and about with friends and these admires is the slow culmination of want started at 9 years old when I first tried on my mother's nylons !

[LIKETODRESS2]

started out with panties once in a while if I thought I could get away with it . NOw all I wear is panties a bra Its cool enoght out side and I can wear a sweartshit. and if not working girls jeans 99 percengt of the time on days off

[Lana Mae]

It all started at 5-6 when I wanted a dress,which I never got! Then as others have said the panty thing off and on for years starting with mom's! Asked wife about this before we got married and she said there would only be one woman in this marriage! Continued off and on with panties! Long dry spell due to life! Wife passed away and in the next month bought panties at K-Mart! Did not understand all of this until I came on this site! Lurked for a short time and then joined! Bought a few items but stayed in the closet! Then one day, decided to go for a ride in the car dressed! Bought my breast forms! Next was a transformation at Jennifer Barges' place! I saw Lana Mae for the first time for more than a minute! Gender dysphoria eating me up! Find a therapist! Dressing more and more! To Keystone! (All this time learning more and more!) Started HRT! Visited a sister from the forum in Texas! I think I grew a lot from that experience! Now on HRT for 9 months! Waiting to have enough money to change my name! Then for the various surgeries! I am out to my boss and a few others at work! Because I am Lana Mae and this is my life! I sincerely thank all of those who have helped me on my journey! I would not be where I am today if not for this forum! Hugs Lana Mae

Well, the first time I went out, I wore my own sneakers because I had no women's shoes. It was at night, window shopping, but I suspect I looked rather silly. I have women's size 12 feet which look a lot smaller in women's shoes than in my usual.

Hummmm, lets see, in a nutshell, no heart palpitations or profuse sweating, no jumping at every noise and above all no sexual arousal anymore. Does living full time count?

Wow! that is so me! the fear, the stress, sweating, the heart palpitations when dressed. Don't want to dress full time but would love to be in an understanding relationship.

I started as an early teen with my mother's panties, then dresses and heels. Eventually I would purchase my own items pretending that they were for my girlfriend. I've purged so many times as recent as a month ago. Thankfully due to the internet, it's easier to shop now. I love heels the most. I posted in other posts recently that i'm finally accepting of who I am, and would like to evolve into wearing makeup, wigs etc, and maybe go out one day. I want to enjoy myself before I get older.

I was a little bit later getting interested than most of you. I'd always secretly admired how girls clothes looked compared to boys clothes. Girls clothes were cute, creative, bright, bringing out the best features of the girl. Boys clothes were just, not as exciting. In college, a couple of girls left their door opened during a party, and in my drunken haze I wondered in and removed a couple pair of panties from each of their drawers. After I woke the next day, I realized I couldn't simply take them back, so I got the wild idea to try them on. I was so amazed at how comfortable and silky they felt, much more natural than the boring underwear guys had. Fast forward all these years later, and I'm now taking the time to live my desire to bring my feminine side out! I've started slow, started with panties and a newly acquired garter and stocking set. I also was able to buy a cute casual dress at a thrift shop that I want to pair with a jean jacket. Small, baby steps, but so far it's been so much fun!

From wearing panties and stockings/pantyhose to fully dressed. Even gone out to a club. Billie Jean
