Easter & Wedding formal dress discussion

[KrissyTN]

On Easter Sunday I gathered with some of my family (who know nothing of my dressing) and as we sat around catching up, the conversation led to the dresses for Easter the ladies were wearing...all very beautiful and full of spring promise! We then started discussing my niece's upcoming wedding - a black tie affair. Each of the ladies discussed what color and type dress they were planning on wearing, shoes became a topic. Hair and nails became a topic...The bride's mom brought out her beautiful blue gown - my admiration and maybe a little envy hit. ;)

After about a half hour of this conversation, I was asked if I plan on wearing a tux - which I am because I own one. Two of the ladies replied - "Guys have it so easy - they don't have to worry about getting the right gown or what color their nails need to be for the occasion!" .... I smiled, but inside I was saying to myself how much I wished I could be occupied by making sure I was getting just the right gown and nail color for this event!!

If they only knew!!!

Really, if they only knew.
Too bad we have to sit there quietly and listen to all the things we'd love to be discussing ... and wearing. Went through the same thing when my niece got married. It wasn't black tie, but I wished I could have worn something pretty like all the other ladies.

I don't know if the high school kids still do it, but on prom night all the young women seemed to show off their gowns at the local mall. There was always a beautiful array of colors.

Tuxedos? Not for me. For Easter I wore a white maxidress with white heels. And as a guest for a wedding? I have several wrap around V neck dresses for that occasion. And funerals? I have a couple black dresses and have worn tĥem. I don't worry much about nail color as I have settled on dark red as my favorite color.
People are used to seeing me wearing dresses so it's no big deal.

Krissy, I think we can all understand how you felt and yes to be picking out the right gown and thinking what color nails, what fun that would be!

I bought a cheap one from China on ebay....made to measure fits a treat and my wife like it on me so much she ordered a slightly different style in red....again fits a treat.

I just had a brilliant idea for a remake of The Wedding Crashers

Case #!: Krissy, let's say instead of a man u were born a woman. Then, getting all dolled up with just the rite, expensive, new, outfit with matching accessories for a wedding, etc. if you're older, could be boring. Or worse! A lot of wasted time, money, and effort on something u have been doing all your life!:sad:

Case #2: You're a CD and u fantasize attending a class reunion, relative's wedding, neighbor's BBQ, etc., etc. dressed. (I have thot about doing this a number of times!) If u do? U make that event about u instead the person(s) it was supposed to celebrate and r outed to everyone!:eek:

Case #3: You're a CD and fantasize about being a woman attending the above mentioned events but don't want to ruin you're friends and relations real events or come out to everyone.:eek:
So, u put together your dream outfit and look. Set up your staged photo shoot and assemble your pretend audience!:daydreaming:
Now, u have your fantasy(s) and no one else was harmed in the process!:thumbsup:

That's what I've been doing for over 15 years using my collection of props, costumes, and mannikins.
See my wedding avatar attached as proof!:daydreaming:

Once I was at coffee after church, (the church gives member a chance to socialize after service) two ladies sat down with me and included me in a discusstion about cloths and children. I felt so good being included. :)

Cute story Krissy, I can imagine all the thoughts going through your head too bad you were not able to chime in on the conversation some times I think us as crossdressers have more experience picking dresses and accessories than the majority of the ladies. Yup if they only knew!

"Or what nail color."

Am currently in limbo. I redid my acrylic nouns, but I haven't chosen a color yet.Because i'm not sure what dress i'm wearing. I will confirm tomorrow. Then pick the color for my nails and toes.
