Sudden urge to dress.

[KymG]

So i havent dressed much recently at all, havent felt like it, until i suddenly got the intense urge to dress right now, for no reason that i know of, but it must be done.
Feels exciting.
Time for a shave and the evening will now wizz by.
Does anyone else feel like this?

[Alice Torn]

Sometimes, but i have not gotten fully dolled for a few months now, and have two Ebay great dresses, which i have not even worn fully yet. Been tired, other pressing issues like dental, finances, the world situation, close call driving, where i should have been killed, etc.

[docrobbysherry]

Not for a very long time, Kym!

I dress so often now, the "Urge to dress" doesn't stand a chance anymore!:devil:

[Sallee]

I have had that urge and luckily I can usually act on it, but nor always. I have also thought about dressing and the fog started to roll in and then for some reason I just didn't want to any longer. I stood there and looked at my boobs, butt and an assortment of dresses and clothing and just said no it just didn't feel right. What ever "right " is

[MsEva]

Of course, feels so right

[BTWimRobin]

The urge to dress does ebb and flow. Lately it's been flowing like Class IV rapids.

[Tracii G]

Pretty common comment I hear on the forum.

[Rayleen]

Spend the whole day dressed, its mostly my routine alone and the freedom to do so.

[Ressie]

I'm taking a day or two off. Dressing has been taking over my life!

[NancySue]

Yes, even though I dress, to some degree, daily, it is amazing. The urge can occur out of nowhere and at any time. I?ve experienced both. It can range from mild to intense. Sometimes, even when dressed, I feel an urge to change clothes, wig, etc. My wife will ask why did I change. I just shrug my shoulders.

[Ginnifer Wilde]

I go thru ebbs and tides as well, it will be months without dressing. sometimes I have an open window with nobody around and I still don't. but then it will come and I have no choice but to dress. who knows? lol

[alwayshave]

Kym, on crossdressers.com I am shocked that you would post you have the urge to dress. Shocked. :)

[Cheshire girl]

There are different triggers for me. Sometimes it?s just the opportunity and once I start to get ready to go out the enthusiasm and confidence comes back. Seeing an attractive woman in real life or on TV etc is also an inspiration to dress. If I see a woman wearing heels and nice clothes it encourages me to dress. Going to a wedding or other event where women are dressed up also makes me want to dress. Other times I might read the fashion pages in the paper about a product or style and it is a trigger. I buy some of my clothes online and an email of the special offers is often a reason to check the fashions and make me want to buy and go out in a new outfit.

[Joni dear]

Absolutely Kym. I just go with the flow now. I love it and want to embrace it.

[Angela Marie]

I really would love to dress all the time. Luckily I have an understanding wife and time. However the desire does go from mild to strong. Sometimes the thought of doing my makeup is enough for me to say "nah not today" so I just slip on a pair of my favorite denim leggings and go out. I think what you are felling is common to all of us.

[JuliaGirl]

Mine too, but as a closeted dresser, it sometimes feels like the undertow has me in it's grip.

[GretchenM]

Definitely. Lots of things can happen that seem to distract us for some period of time and expressing the identity is not a priority. And then it seems that something happens or the distractions are not so intense and any number of other things can cause the loss of most or all of the desire for awhile. Then, out of the blue and like getting hit by a meteorite it is back. Really difficult to explain or understand most of the time. Right now I am in the early stages of coming out of testosterone suppression during prostate cancer treatment. Changing hormones always change a person in all kinds of wild ways. As this will take several months to complete I am expecting a lot of inexplicable twists and turns including spontaneous moments when the pink fog is really dense. Will it happen? Time will tell.

Don't worry about it when it happens. Just roll with the change. It will all be back at some point. It is a part of who you are.

[Karenawong]

Lucky you for being able to dress whenever you want. I often have to plan well ahead for that day.

[Mackem Sue]

For personal reasons, I've resisted the last few days. But I got in tonight and just knew I needed to dress.

Trying to push it back for whatever reason just increases the urge and need. A lady friend years ago said whatever situation she was in, the urge to wear a skirt eventually got the better of her every so many days.

I guess being a crossdresser, it's the same.

Sue.

[jessica79]

I've been having the urge more and more recently.

[franlee]

This has been an ongoing thing for me since my first CDing experience. Time's I don't have that burning need and then sometimes just out of the blue it hits me and nothing short of getting completely dressed will satisfy me. And that is after 49 almost 50 years of CDing. My advise is learn to enjoy it and use it to your advantage. You can with a little thought and patience. But you are certainly not the 1st to have this craving.

[Shely]

Ressie, I'm with you dressing has all most taken over my life. It's not a sudden urge, it's a constant urge. I dress all most every day that my wife works and I don't. I am spending more and more on clothing, shoes, make up and the like. BUT god do I love dressing. Just the process of going full out is such a blast and when I see "her" before pictures, WOW I love it. I still do the things I need, and like, to do but dressing up seems to be #1.

[MaryAnn1963]

I can relate to the "sudden urge" to dress... I've purchased 8 pair of shoes and a few outfits in the past 3 weeks for not having anything for years.

[KymG]

Kym, on crossdressers.com I am shocked that you would post you have the urge to dress. Shocked. :)

I realise it comes as a surprise on here :)

[countrygirl]

Yes, I have for gone for months at a time without dressing and all of sudden with no warning the urge to bring Amanda around is stronger than ever. I go and bring her around and it helps me to come back down to earth.

[Fran Moore]

Yes, the Pink Fog can roll in very unexpectedly sometimes!:)

[donnalee]

Since I dress almost always when I'm home, I sometimes get the urge for drab. Mostly, I manage to fight it off.

[KymG]

The thing is, the urge comes on strong, and I simply cant wait, the excitement builds when I know I will dress.
Two or three times in a short period then don't dress for a couple of weeks or more.

[Cheshire girl]

Hi KymG I totally get it when you say how excited you get when you know you will be able to dress. I dress a couple of times a month sometimes more and the anticipation of a full day out is amazing.

[Angie G]

When I get the urge to dress and run in the room I keep my girl stuff in I realize I am dressed. Oh ya I dress 95% of the time. :hugs:
Angie

[JennyMay]

Years ago I would put on a skirt maybe every few months. It was something I resisted and rejected, and felt hugely guilty about (why?) Now I dress fully and regularly and it's different. I'm open to my wife and she accepts it. it's not so urgent now I do it when ever I want. I've moved on to a more relaxed phase. it's great.

[Leslie Mary S]

A week ago I got the urge and did until I got down to the shoes. My feet are swollen these days and they don't fit into my shoes or if I can get them on, I can wear them only for about a half hour up to an hour. played with make up a bit but nothing I would wear out. My avitar was from that shoot.

[Julie Martin]

Alice Torn,

"real life" kind of puts dressing in perspective doesn't it? For me anyway.

[LovelyLeesa]

I was fine this morning enjoying my coffee when the fog rolled in. Now I'm enjoying my coffee in my bra, panties, hose and a dress. I wish I was braver about going outside.

[Leslie Mary S]

It's all yu'al's fault! you activated my urge to dress. (Grin). I have a dress laid out on the bed in my makeshift photo studio. I will take a few photos in it today (maybe) as soon as I get my face sprayed/applied on. But will stay in the house (Closest).

How many of you "Paint on your face" in stead of "appling your face"?

[Beverley Sims]

All the time. :-)

[Maria 60]

I was on a little downer a few weeks ago, maybe winter blahs but my wife was wondering what was going on with the hair starting to grow on my legs. I just couldn't be bothered and had no urge for weeks and then one day I was sitting in a coffee shop and a women came in wearing high boots with a touch of black pantyhose showing between the boots and her dress hem line. Well that was it, that same night I was dressed with my black boots and black pantyhose. That's all it took to be back.

[Angie G]

I don't get the urge because I'm most likely already dressed. :hugs:
Angie

[MarinaTwelve200]

In MY case, its like a drug. every couple of weeks I have to have my DC "Fix"---Then I am good to go in male mode for another few weeks then.

[Leslie Mary S]

A while back I said I would take a few photos. One dress. I was able to get some heels on as well. I did NOT go out. If DarkAnGGel heard about me going out wuth this virus thing going around she would chain me to my bed. Then I could not even dress up.
Here Is what I am wearing right now. It is a new wig along wit new shoes and a 6 month old dress.

I did replace the background/
I am wearing some woman reading glasses. This is a daily around the house outfit. nothing pushing the envelope.

[Natalie5004]

I am exactly where you are. I am also afraid of going outside. I think I will start first with a car drive. Maybe get takeout food at the window, see if they call me sir.

Natalie

[Leslie Mary S]

Hi Natalle. I have on several occasions driven over 4 hours to get to Atlanta, GA and driven back. Fully dressed in a dress, heels and sometimes with a wig sometimes not. Driving away from you local community is less scary then just around the neighborhood. When out of town fewer people know who you are. As long as you obey the driving laws and not get stopped by toe "PoPo" (Police types) you will not have a problem. One nice thing about some small fuel station is that the have one general use john. But the other side of that coin is it is also that same type of station that will have problems because they don't like MIAD (Male in a Dress). I tend to not do much drinking of anything till I get near where I am going.
Yes I have long hair about 14" long, but will wear a wig when I worry about my male pattern baldness, even though I have seen GGs with the balding too.

[mbmeen12]

Spot on and it hit me like a warm summer breeze. I then proceeded to go for it and nicked myself shaving. Buzz kill lol

[Kelly Pearson]

It's usually when stressed that I get the urge that just wont go

[Sallee]

Boy can relate to that There are days when I can't wait to dress. Then there are those times that I get excited about dressing and when the time arrives I look at the clothing and makeup,etc and the urge or desire just isn't there and I close the door and walk away. All of it very strange

[Teri Ray]

After reading this thread I have come to the following conclusion:

Most of us share a strong desire, and need, to dress enfemme nearly all the time, of course, this desire remains valid unless we no longer have a desire to dress.

Seems pretty simple

Alwayshave previous comment that she was shocked that there are people on this site who want to crossdress struck me as an example of her superior analysis skills. I said to myself........self....she is absolutely right ....how could I miss that???

After thinking about her comment I have also concluded that the folks on this site are crossdressers or they are not.

One of the reasons I like this site is the ability to learn something new each time I visit. Thanks all for sharing your thoughts.

[jacques]

hello Kym,
It has been too long since I last dressed - I could not resist any longer.
luv J

[missjoann49]

Since I live and dress full time, the urge is there as soon as I wake up in the morning

[KatieTv]

ive had to suppress it for years. now I have freedom and the urge is strong. just waiting for my deliveries.

[Tiff]

I accepted I am a female a long time ago. As I got older it got stronger. The only thing I look forward to is buying new shoes and clothes every week. I have only a few male clothes of which I am not at all interested in, and I have two full rooms of female clothes and shoes and all the rest. I have dressed fully at home now for decades, and I could tell you all some stories.
I will say this to anyone similar, do not purge, you are doing yourself a disservice. Be kind to yourself, please.

[kendracd]

I have the urge to dress all the time now, I only dress in boy clothes for work, ha I even sleep in a nightgown

[Leslie Mary S]

I like to go to bed In a tight suit, with gloves, footie, and mask made of home grown Human leather. (I sleep in the raw most of the time.) grin

[Maria in heels]

Kym,

I think that we all get into that situation and sometimes it's just ok and other times you just can't wait as the feeling rushes over you like a wave!

[JennasPanties]

The quarantine has allowed me to indulge those urges so much more! Going to be tough to go back, In that respect anyway

[Heather2die4]

I have found that when it's sudden, it might be triggered by a stress event. Final exams come to mind. Other times, it's more like a rising tide. I used to tell myself the story that it's just panties. I'm not really crossdressing (again). Later, it's just pantyhose and a slip in the bed. I'm not really... But I know that in a week or so, I will remember how much sexier pantyhose feel over shaved legs. Then the dam bursts. I actually prefer the slow onset. It's like a tormenting; a self seduction that I am powerless to resist. When I finally surrender to the urge, the torment makes the bliss so much more intense. I love this life.

[tinadee]

My sudden urges sometimes are tamed by a wig and lipstick. Of course, only when I'm not venturing out of my apt. If that doesn't work, then maybe I add soft panties and heals. If that still does not work, then a little eye liner and mascara. Not effective still, well maybe Tina needs to get dressed pretty and go out. :battingeyelashes:
