What are you ? Periodic dresser -level dresser ?

[Marla S]

Because there have been this discussions lately about hobby and 24/7 and the like, I'd like to know what type you belong to.

A periodic dresser would be someone who strictly separates male and female mode.
A level dresser would be someone who mixes both modes on a (almost) every day basis.

In both cases the range is from appearing completely as a woman, over effeminate man, to partly dressing (i.e. only undies).

[connie rotten]

Is there a periodic level dresser. Even when I don't dress at some level my legs and underarms are always shaved. I often wear at least a pair of panties. As far as dressing fully lately it is a daily thing , but that has been a come and go routeen with me all my life.
I am a fickle girl.

I selected "periodic dresser because I have to" - I rarely have the opportunity to fully dress anymore, although I wish there were some way to change that.I don't even have the time to come in here and post very much,although that will change when my boys are back in school.

[Angela Burke]

Given your criteria I had to vote a "level dresser".
Although I almost always dress as a woman at home, I
very seldom venture out in a skirt or a dress nowadays.
But when I am in drab I always wear at least panties or
camiknicks. So I think (?) that puts me in the
"level dresser" catagory.

[HaleyPink2000]

Level!

I'm as female as is allowable in our home. Since I'm retired now I dress most of the time, and am the housewife type. I do lots around the house.

I'm very female inside my brain, and even have taken many Internet tests that prove it. Even the finger length thing shows me as female.

But, I'm just being me. No pretence. :heehee:

[Marla S]

The crucial point is if you strictly separate male or female mode or dress (or express feminine) to some extend almost daily.
This might be a variation of the 24/7 question. But this implies IMO more of a fulltime living as woman and would exclude those who only partly dress.

[Teresa Amina]

Periodic because I want to, but always Teresa inside. Right now I'm in a strange mellow mood with no particular inclination to dress, but two weeks ago I dressed at home nearly every day. Not an underdresser, it's either/or for me.

[Eric/a]

It might be interesting to see what we consider to be "dressing fully" as opposed to "mixing." For instance, if I wear women's babydoll nighties to bed every night, wouldn't that be considered being dressed entirely en femme, as far as sleeping purposes go? That's my situation, pretty much, and during the day I'll at least wear panties or thongs even if I'm in drab. I guess that puts me in the ranks of the "periodic level" dressers.

The question is not to what extend you dress, rather how you try to integrate it in your daily life.

[Brianna Lovely]

I checked other because my cd life varies.
Although I wear woman's shorts and panties every day, because I like them, I just consider that my normal way of dressing.
On any given day I may go out in a skirt, top, purse, nails done, but otherwise in "male" mode.
When I have the time, I'll do makeup, wig, etc. and go out that way.

But, the important thing is, I'm always aware of my "fem" side, no matter how I'm dressed, and yes, she does show herself whenever she wants to.

[carolbitv]

hello, i am i guess a level dresser. all paint my toes, clear nail polish on my finger nails shave my body and wear panties and cami even in male mode carol

[Cellarius]

I voted other because I really don't know how to classify myself. I want to be fem all the time but don't feel free to do so where I live now. Maybe a move to NYC is the answer.

[Helen MC]

A Level Dresser since age 12 and I'm now 53!

I simply do not own any male underpants and haven't for 35 years now and you would need to use physical force to make me wear them these days!

So as I only dress en-femme at home I am an "Underdresser" when outdoors or at work etc, panties under male trousers, jeans etc. When I come home off with the boring "drab" and on with a nice skirt or dress. Today white full brief panties and a pale blue cotton dress over them, comfortable and cool.

[Karren H]

Well I do mix up male and female every so often, and usually for a period of time...week, month but the I go stretches where its either all male or all female!! All depends on my frame of mind and dressing frequency. Went 8 weeks without fully dressing and noticed that I did want to wear lingerie under my suit more often!! But since I've had the opertunity to dress a couple times over the last couple weeks, I don't feel that urge!! Guess I've had my fix. Hehe. I really don't have an adictive mentality except for two things....ok 3.....

But crossdressing dragracers on ice would solve everything. LoL

'Level.' My (natural) hair is always fem (superhigh ponytail or pigtails) and I wear blouses or fem T-shirts all the time (fem sweater in winter), plus women's jeans (Banana Republic) with fem colors. Since I don't do breast forms or any of that, my silhouette remains within social norms. From that (daily) set of attire, I'm only a skirt and a touch of makeup away from full enfem (as I practice / percieve it). Raquel Welch was never my ideal, more like Joni Mitchell.

[Snookums]

can I just be a man who loves to wear womens low rise flair jeans with stiletto heels,it's not like it directly affects society

[Charleen]

Because as I sit here writing this in full enfemme- I voted level. Like a lot of you, I do the "under femme when in drab and feel great doing it.

[Marlena Dahlstrom]

I put down Other.

I don't underdress (just doesn't hold any appeal for me) and when I'm in guy-mode, I'm in guy mode.

OTOH, I've got a shaved body, pierced ears and painted toenails, so I'm not exactly a "standard issue" guy, albeit a bit of metrosexual.

OTOH, while the shaved body is for crossdressing, I got my ears pierced and my toes painted because I like the ornamentation not because they're "something women do." If I were a bit braver and society were a bit more accepting, I'd probably do the Eddie Izzard "tough androgynous" look part of the time.

[Mistybtm]

I would say I am A Level dresser I do dress every day or have some type of fem clothes on all the time.

I am a level dresser as I wear pantyhose and panties EVERYDAY and when the weather gets cooler a bra also. I find that if I don't wear lingerie I am not a happy camper.

Love; BonnieAnne:GE:

[Joy Carter]

Under dresser here nothing to ware at this point to many other finances going on right now.:o

[Kimberly]

I tend to keep them seperate, actually.

I'd like to stray into androgynous territory, but for the meantime I haven't bought anything that looks reasonable together, (male top, fem skirt for example..... saying that, I've just done exactly as I desrcibed!!)

So. Partial dresser for me. I tend to go through intense spurts, and then periods where I hardly dress at all.

[Kate Simmons]

All of the above, Hon, all of the above and then some. Ericka

I agree, lingerie is a must. Panties every (even with drab) pantyhose also but not when it is this hot.

Is has been said in magazines etc that wearing nice lingerie boosts a woman's confidence. I know exactly what that means. :D

Sadly, I lack confidence with outer clothes, otherwise I might be dressed more female.

[britney]

i guess i am a perodic dresser. I have fun wearing full clothes but i havent got the guts to go out in them. I always have on panties though. That is how i have been for some time as well.

[avawho]

At the present, I'm defiantly a periodic dresser, I have to indulge that part every so often however or I tend to become very grumpy... That said, I could never afford to have a family, my hobbies and be a fulltime dresser... Once I'm retired, who knows what I could or will get away with?

Cheers
Ava

[Kayla Smith]

I chose "Other" due to the fact that I am living full time as a woman and have no desire to ever dress as a man again. I got rid of all of the male clothing months ago that were in my closet:happy: .

[Joanie B]

Hi,
I voted "periodic have to" bcause I feel that I must still be DRAB for work and family. However, since I live alone, I COULD dress every day when I get home. However, I find it simpler to save that for weekendss, when I am in DRAG from Sat. morning until Sunday night, even to church.
So, I guess that makes me periodic BY CHOICE to a degree.

I used to try to underdress every chance that I had, even wearing hose with shorts in guy mode. I have since decided I would rather be all boy or all girl. Plus,I think it enhances my credibility with people who see Joanie regularly, e.g. at stores, as a girl when they don't see an effeminate male who looks a lot alike and wonder if that "girl" that they saw was really a CD.....sigh I actually had gender counselor say that I should not do the 'half and half" method for that reason...

but that's just me...

Hugs to all,
Joanie B.
