I think that we all have memories of one day that was simply amazing and everything went smoothly.
It could be as simply as your first day fully dressed, or the day your SO accepted you.

For me, it was my 2014 birthday party.
Rented a nice house with a big patio for the event, bought lots of sparkling wine and food, setup a cool atmosphere by decorating the house a bit (and did all the decorations dressed of course) . Invited some friends over - all cds and SOs in this case - got a truly great makeover, chose a lovely and sexy dress, some amazing boots and got my wife at my side also all dressed up. Everyone was happy, it was very chill. Felt like a woman happy to be herself, having a great time.
Oh boy that one was hard on me when it was time to end... went to bed exhausted, but refused to take out clothes and everything (even boots! Ha!) just to cling to the feeling just a bit more.

Needless to say I am totally envious' accepting wife and friends. What else would a girl want? The best "Woman's Day" I probably had was on a Halloween. I was younger and still wore a blond wig. I wore a below the knee jade and black floral dresses, black heels, black hosiery and full makeup. It was a solo adventure, but I did go into stores to make purchases. Back then I was probably more adventurous. Now, I prefer to be a home body and just spend some 24/7 days strung together when my wife goes out of town. I find going from a nightie to day wear and back to nightie for several days relaxing.

My greatest day was the beginning of this month, when I went for a makeover. It was a dream come true, and something I never believed I'd do. Seeing myself looking pretty was amazing!

I'm just hoping it's not a one off and I'll get another one, so that day will soon just be one of many to come!

Probably best single day was coming out to a GG friend. I began the day at a business meeting with a female colleague as myself for the first time and decided to take it a step further. I stopped by a close friend’s office, planning to introduce my new self there, only to learn that she was at home, so I gave her a call and she invited me over. I mentioned I was dressed a little differently than usual, and she asked if I was wearing a tux. I explained, no, said, “actually a white knit skirt and a peach t-top.” She immediately said, gleefully, “Then come on over!”. We spent the entire afternoon talking about this new me, and I recall her saying, “you’re really just the same, only with much nicer clothes!”

Hi Giovanna, yes it was at a professional place, it was at Boyswillbegirls in London. Cindy who is the proprietor is so amazing. She made me look so pretty, more feminine than I could have hoped. And I got to try on outfits I would never be able to try at home.

If you ever get a chance to go for one, don't hesitate, go for it, it was such a joy and an amazing day!

If you look in the pictures subforum, I did post a few pictures, if you're interested.

I can not really pick out one single outing that is far above all others as I have had many wonderful outings. I consider myself very lucky to have taken the plunge to go out to socialize back in 2017 and just did not know what I was missing. There is no turning back because it is just so much fun.

The past year limited my outings because of covid, and my recent outing to the Castle in Tampa was quite a good time. Granted I have a bit of a wild streak. You can check out my most recent picture posts to see what I mean. Gee that place was a lot of fun. It was one of my best times out dressed during the last year.

Let's see, there are so many! Maybe my transformation when my eyes popped out at me! Or maybe Keystone Conference when I met some of the girls from here! Or maybe a certain GNO in Houston! Too many to pick just one and I am sure there are many to come in the future!!! Sorry I can not answer your question! LOL Hugs Lana Mae

If I can cheat and name two different days with totally different experiences. A few years ago, a make over at a department store( remember those?) then an afternoon at David’s Bridal where I tried on wedding dresses and they treated me so well. Even the other girls and their wedding parties gave me compliments. I don’t fool anyone but all these woman gave me a very special day.
The second, very different day, was hiking all day with an old friend. We made plans to climb to a high mountain lake and I told him about Christie. To spend the day, in public, as a girl, with a friend was just as special as trying on wedding dresses. Nothing has come close to these two days.

The day I came out to my 2nd wife. We had a long heart to heart and she was so accepting and supportive. She asked to see me and then assisted me in dressing in her clothes and she did my makeup and hair(Long). I dressed in all the lingerie as she was and then she did my makeup and hair. I then donned a white L/S button down blouse and a 3piece black and gray pinstripe skirt-suit. With her low black heels, we were fortunate that her shoes fit except being a little tight. I and she was amazed at how good I turned out. We talked for a while and then she asked if I felt like going out for a drive and to get a Pepsi. We did and spent hours just riding and talking. I bared my innermost feelings and fetishes with her and all so honest that I felt purified and really the person I wanted to be and the husband that she loved and could count on for the rest of our lives. Sadly that was only 25 more years, but we lived, loved, shared and supported each other 100% all that time. There are plenty of more adventures that were more CD oriented but none that was that special.

I told the story here before. It was the time my Mom was in the hospital dieing of cancer, and she wanted to meet Lisa. So I got all dolled up and went to the hospital.
Mom knew of my crossdressing for many years but wanted no part of it, she was very against it.
Anyways we visited for hours.
A couple days later Mom wanted to see Lisa again, so I got all dolled up and went to the hospital. We visited for a few hours, then I left.
Lisa was the last family member to visit her, she died later that night.

There has been so many great days or events that it is hard to pick out a single one. BTW I suppose that my second full makeover has to be one. The first was not a particularly good experience.
Another would be going to the theatre, I was alone but struck up a conversation with a go ad her daughter, they were strangers when we met, but I still maintain contact after 3 years.

I also have told this before, it was my birthday and my wife surprised me with a weekend girls trip to Chicago. Two fun days including shopping, nice restaurant, and tickets to Hamilton. We got all dressed up and went to the play. Best weekend ever

I would have to say it was the first time I fully dressed for my wife after totally coming out to her.
I had the day off and at last removed every vestige of body hair. She dressed after dinner and went to a company party so I had till after Midnight to prepare. I steeled myself with a cocktail and nervously bathed, dressed and carefully did my makeup. I have to say it took 3+ hours to get ready. Then I sat awaiting her return.
She came in the house and I was a "nervous virgin", shaking visibly. I greeted her and she took it all in. We prepared a cocktail and then she had me model for her. Her comments were all positive and made me feel wonderful. We talked about everything, from my outfit and lingerie, to my makeup and everything about how I felt and how she felt. It was a beginning. The first steps on the path to the present where she is fully accepting, we are both completely at ease with it all and all my fears, guilt and shame have faded away.

The first time I went out. I went to the Maryland Renaissance Faire and rented a wench costume. The GGs at the rental booth were very helpful getting me dressed. and were very excited to see a CD wench. Most of the people didn't even notice me, several GGs game me positive affirmations. On GG looked right at me, clocked me, and gave me a big smile. I gave her a big smile back, and then she gave me a thumbs up.

I have a few "Best" days, but I think the absolute #1 was going to lunch with my daughter -A- ( 20 something young lady who accepts the real me ) ) & my Ex.

Of course, I was dressed, and the eatery was chosen by my Ex. It started when we walked in and the owner, arms wide, came up and greeted me by name with a big hug and a kiss on my cheek. Being shown to our table, greeted warmly by the staff, and then chatting with our server. The Ex didn't know, but this was one of my fav regular restaurants!

The Ex was impressed that I was so well known and accepted, and then complimented me on my appearance, mannerisms, and behaviour, and then admitted that she now realized how comfortable, happy, and content I was as a woman.

After lunch, the 3 of us went shopping, and -A- an me helped her pick out a new business wardrobe. My Ex has a horrible fashion sense, and confessed that she relied on us to help her dress well. When I was a "him", my wife was FORBIDDEN from clothes shopping without either me or our daughter being present! LOL

After, we parted with hugs and kisses, the girls going one way, me another. Later, talking with my daughter, she told me that her Mom was more understanding and compassionate about my situation.

A total win, all around

Ahhh, David's Bridal. I went there twice - with a GG friend who was shopping for HER wedding dress.
First time, I was en-femme and nobody said anything. I was just the girl-friend who brought the bride (I guess).
Second time, I went in male mode. One of the girls working there asked me if I'd like to try something while I was waiting.
I was too chicken and didn't say yes. I'm also not sure if the girl really meant it or if she was just kidding.
Lost opportunity - ah well.

It was really nice the first time - in that nobody seemed to notice that I was anything beyond "just another woman." I'm not sure if it's my greatest day - but it's up there.

We were at a casino on the Mississippi coast. I had on a new black off the shoulder dress. In the elevator going up to the gaming floor a young lady complimented me on my dress. Later she approached me on the floor, with another young lady, and asked me to model my outfit for them. They gushed about how cute and wanted to know where I got it. Really made my day. And for icing on the cake I left with more money than I had going in.

Too many to remember but one that stands out I had? to be the bride at a mock wedding as the real bride chickened out.

There was great food and the dress got quite tight.

One hot sunny day a few years ago I had some garden rubbish to get rid of and went off in guy mode, stopping off at my local shop to be met by the woman who runs the shop being completely taken aback by my mode of dress, and then she kindly told me go home and put a skirt on, "we are used to seeing you dressed as a woman", so off I went, feeling well pleased!!

Getting my hair done last month a very close second..first time going as an openly trans client so it was therapy with hair care thrown in.

Reading all of your stories gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling about how each of you had a wonderful experience to cherish. For Sarah, there have been many times that are one step down from being the best. They would include special makeovers, fun outings with T friends, out and about as Sarah and more. One ongoing special memory is the knowledge that my wife accepts me and the part that Sarah plays in my life.

The number one experience was when I was planning on a business trip to drop by to visit a Tgirl friend in New York on my way home. One of the ultimate fantasies for Sarah would be to go out with an admiring gentleman for a lovely dinner date. Well, my Tgirl friend offer to oblige my dream and he donned his best gentleman outfit and manners. The evening fulfilled my dream beyond my expectations as he scored high on the gentleman scale and I did my best to be the classy mature lady at all times.

Not a whole day, but a very fun experience. A few years ago the pink fog was strong and I walked in to a chain hair salon and asked if they cold fit me in. There were two women working and the salon was empty. The girl at the desk said "Haircut?" I used the ' lost a bet' story and said I had to get my hair done in curls. The girl said she had thought this was going to be a boring day but now she was going to have a lot of fun! As she was leading me to her chair, I said I wanted to be a good sport so go ahead and make my hair look really girly. She said "Glitter?" I said "Whatever you want". She shampooed and blow dried my hair and curled it with her curling iron, all the while talking about how pretty she was going to make me. Then she sprinkled my hair with pink glitter and sprayed my hair heavily. I thought she was finished but she asked her co worker to pick out a flower from the accessories and she pinned a red rose in my hair. The co-worker tried to talk me into wearing some lipstick too, but I declined as 'the bet' was only for hair. I nervously left the salon with curly, glittery hair with a rose in it and both I and the hairdressers had had a fun time!

I'll never forget my first makeover at Jamie Austins in Auburn, Mass being fully made up and able to do so for 5 hours. It was a turning point and a high I've been chasing since. He's deceased now and my options are few and far between in this area.

Probably one of the days when I was a teen, and could fit into my older sister's dresses, hadn't reached puberty yet, and, with my really long hair, could actually pass. Only problem, was my gigantic feet, so I'd have to have been a flower child and gone barefoot. As it was, I usually wore girl's style tennis sneakers when I dressed up. Back then, guy's tennis shoes looked just like the girls designs.

I've had a few "great" ones but the chance to be Jamie for a few days at the end of the month will hopefully outshine them all.

I did have an afternoon recently where I had to drive for 4 hours. I made sure to look my best when I got to Glamour Boutique for a new wig, and the combo of good makeup, 3 hours driving while Jamie and finally the new wig gave me the confidence to walk into the nearby Willowbrook mall. I was wearing my newest favorite outfit, white pants/pink top and cardigan with sandals. Though I would usually much prefer something sexier or stylish, the goal that day was to blend as much as possible and it was incredibly successful. I used the many mirrored pillars to see if I was getting odd looks but there were none. Soon I was riding the escalator in Macy's stopping by different departments and coming so close to trying on some shoes. Later I stopped in my local Shoprite, almost hoping to see anyone I knew (not a good idea, DADT at home) and really having trouble changing back.

The problem with that day was changing back, the fog was so strong I was actually strongly considering just going home as I was. If things work out I will have days to spend without changing back, cannot believe how strong the feelings are. Lately the goal seems to be spending more time than rushing through and looking for that adrenaline surge, I guess that is a very common trend for many of us, just wondering what the next adventure will be.

That would be not only 1 day, but 2 days. I went to Scarborough Renaissance Festival and dressed up as a Fair Maiden. Those two days were the first times I had ever gone out dressed up en femme. The first day was absolutely exciting, invigorating, and exhilarating. The second was even better when I added a couple of things to my costume to complete it. Both times I felt so proud of being a crossdresser, that I was not shy one tiny little bit. I puffed my chest out, walked straight and tall, and soaked in all the compliments that everyone gave me (I'm pretty sure they knew I was a guy underneath all those girly clothes).
Next year when I go, I naturally intend to wear my Fair Maiden outfit. But as much as I love my outfit, I found another dress I may want to buy. If I do buy it, and if it looks as good as I think it will, who knows? I may just top those two days! Can't wait for next April!

My family were staying at my wife's parents home (in a different country) for 4 weeks, so I had the place to myself.
Previously, I had only ventured out dressed at night. It was a nice sunny day. I put on a pink summer dress and did my makeup. For the first time in ages my makeup came out really well and I looked (in my eyes) quite convincing as a woman.
So I ventured out and went for a walk by the beach.
Huge crowds of people. Not one person batted an eyelid.

Not sure if I've already said this before, but in case I haven't, here it is. My greatest time out in public while dressed en femme was about 10 or so years ago when I went to a local trans bar in Dublin city center with a female friend who knew all about the trans scene. I was dressed in a full black outfit, (blacktop and long black pencil skirt with a shoulder-length wig). It was one of the best nights of my life thus far. Think Nigella Lawson in a long pencil skirt outfit and you get an idea as to what I looked like.

I will admit that having never dressed en femme in public prior to that if you don't count my female friend's house, I felt pretty nervous as you may expect but as it turned out, of course, I need not have been.

I've had a number of memorable days en femme, but one of the nicest was when a man approached me in a bar and said he had seen my picture in a magazine ("Ladylike" I think, no longer published.)

He was very complimentary and we had a wonderful time chatting over a couple of glasses of wine. It turned out he was married and in town on business. He was really fascinated by the TG/TV lifestyle and had a lot of questions. I did my best flirty/girly thing and had a great time doing it.

Nothing really exotic or groundbreaking, but it was fun.

There are a number of candidates for this but perhaps the most cathartic and certainly the most important in my development as a crossdresser was my first visit to an LGBT bar.

It was a nerve wracking experience leading up to the event as I had never actually been out en femme prior to this but I had long expressed a desire to do so and on discussion with a couple of close friends it was decided that this was the best environment in which to do it.

My first time out in a dress and heels ended up being a really enjoyable experience and encountering others in the flesh who were like minded really made me view things differently.

I was nominated at work to represent the company at a local cancer benefit where men dressed as women. I had secretly always wanted to do it and put myself in a place to be picked. I am sine it Noone knows of my crossdressing. I had all I needed except an appropriate dress and shoes. I went out of town for a weekend to shop. I bought a calf length bias hem dress that was white with widely spaced black flowers. It was very feminine and appropriate for the occasion.

As the day approached I realized I needed an excuse for makeup being well done. I decided to enlist the help of a friend who I thought would be accepting and discreet. I called and asked if she could come over and she said yes. I quickly got dressed in a female outfit and awaited her arrival. Ooo the excitement and fear, needless to say she was surprised. I explained what I was going to do, that I had dressed before and I needed to be able to tell everyone that she did my makeup even though I did it myself. She was very excited to be on board and volunteered to drive me on the big day!

I was so excited when the day arrived. I spent all day shaving, bathing, makeup, pampering and dressing. My friend ce to pick me up and was very impressed. I was All butterflies on the way to the car and to the venue. I was scared to death but determined. She escorted me to the stage where I met the other contestants and got our instructions. I got to priss across the stage and answer interview questions as a ell as go out and mingle with the crowd. All of this in front of people I knew and worked with. Many people did not recognize me and everyone thought I was too girly for this to be my only time but that is okay it was a lifelong dream realized and much more fun and excitement than it could have imagined.

When I received in the mail the court decree changing my legal name and gender to Devi San Martin, female...

Ceera

I have had several, but here is the tale of the first.

I came out of the closet quite late in life. knew I was at least bi since high school, but I repressed all the urges until I was over 50! But in 2014, when I started exploring my feminine side, and started going out socially as a woman, it felt wonderful and validating. To my surprise, though I was thinking of myself primarily as just gender fluid, I was swiftly accepted as ‘one of the girls’ by the local lesbian community. They did not latch on to any of the other cross dressers like that. Just me. They sensed my feminine mind before I fully accepted for myself that I needed to fully transition to female! That experience comes close to a ‘greatest day’, but the rest of this tale is even better.

So, my first ‘greatest day’ was about a year and a half into my journey. I had been going out nightclubbing and to LGBTQ bars and even to ‘straight’ live music venues for about a year, all only well after sunset. And to this point, my only daylight adventure had been going to the local Pride celebration, at an obscure park well out of the gaze of the general public. Yet in August of 2015, to celebrate my birthday, I decided I wanted to spend virtually an entire day out in public view as a woman, at the biggest mall in our town! My daughter was 18 at the time, and a solid supporter of my journey. We started the day with me still in male mode, getting breakfast tacos and going mall walking before the mall actually opened. This allowed me to scope out where I wanted to shop later, and just before we left, as the mall first opened, I slipped into one shop and got my eyebrows threaded for the first time, to a nice, feminine shape. Then we went home for me to change, after which we went back to the mall.

We had reservations for full makeovers at Sephora - first my daughter, then me. We were almost late, so I dropped my daughter off at the closest entrance to Sephora, which meant going through a JC Penney store, past their smaller Sephora mini-store, and into the main mall to the full Sephors store. Then I found a parking spot, took a deep breath, and followed where my daughter had gone…

And I plunged into a swarm of kids and moms doing back to school shopping! And successfully waded through all those moms and kids without getting a single awkward look! I was passing! In daylight! On to Sephora!

I browsed the Sephora store while my daughter got her makeover, checking in with her periodically. The makeover staff knew they had a ‘crossdresser’ scheduled as a client, but they were wonderfully accepting. I was surprised that the other customers accepted me too, even when I scrubbed off all my makeup for my turn! Of course, I was dressed en femme, with nice slingback heels and a nice dress, I had good breast forms, and a reasonably good wig. But my face, in my opinion, really needs the makeup to feminize my look. The attached pic is how I looked after my makeover.

For the next 6 hours or more, we shopped, usually with my daughter trailing behind me, to gauge people’s reactions to me. Everyone saw me strictly as female! Even lingerie dept clerks and customers! And my daughter confirmed no one was doing double takes behind my back!

We ended by going out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory. The hostess complemented me, saying she loved seeing a tall girl like me rocking a set of high heels. The waiter never gave any indication he saw me as anything but female, nor did any customers.

As we went home, my daughter commented, “You know why you passed so well? Confidence. You were completely comfortable being your female self, so much so that no one thought to question your gender!”

That, to that point in my life, was my greatest day ever as a woman! Many more followed, but on that day, I first knew I could go anywhere as a woman, and be accepted.

Ceera, your story is amazingly beautiful, congratulations in your daughter and life.

I just post a thread called "lies or dream" because stories like yours sound too good to be real, but honestly, I know yours is real because my life is kind of the same but I'd notice that many crossdressers here and other websites like this, live to fantasy with being a woman and are so convinced themselves.

When I started reading your story without knowing it was you, immediately I thought this is one of those lies that are actually a deep expression of a dream but then I saw your name and confirmed my proposal in my thread

Dreams can be true but needs some guts to skip to reality.

Thanks for sharing. I hope some can feel inspired to move forward and convert their lies/dreams in reality....

I have so many highlights to choose from, but I'd say my most memorable day was December 30, 2014 at my GF's wedding. This was the first time I had ever been a bridesmaid. Months before the wedding, my GF asked me to be one of her bridesmaids and I was so excited and honored. It really meant something to me and that I had a special bond with her. It was a memorable day and an amazing experience I will always remember.

Joann, that's for sure a memorable day to keep in your memory. For a woman is for sure not a common day but for us is of course tons of time more important...

Can I ask? The rest of people knew about you? I mean bride family, groom....?

Hi Devi.

Thank you so much. It was truly a highlight that comes so very rarely and an event I will cherish for a long time.
As for your questions, yes. The bride, groom, friends, and family of the wedding party and all knew about me and were all so supportive and accepting.
They never treated me any differently. I was just one of the girls to them and we all had a great time.

Thanks for your prompt answer Joanne. I asked because when a sister has that kind of experience is for all us the rest an advance. I keep believing that may be in 20 or 30 more years, you will probably see it, to talk about LGBTQ, especially about trans people, will be useless as today to talk about slavery....

You?re welcome sweetie!
It is a privilege to help pave the way for others to be accepted for who we are and not be judged, but to supported and respected.
