If you had.......

[annekathleen]

If you had all the money that you've spent on womens clothing, accessories, bras,panties,wigs, breastforms, shoes, etc.......over all of the years that you've been crossdressing, how much money do you think you'd have in your hands right now???? hundreds? thousands???

[Gaby]

Interesting question... it would be on the thousands... at least 5 figures. :D

[connie rotten]

Should I cop to being frugle or should I just tell an out and out lie?
I have to say thousands closer to a million. hundreds on lipgloss alone . Ten thousand on stockings at least:p

[Carroll]

less than $100 believe it or not. I have six wigs, I only paid for two, the make-up is my wifes and as, she is jealous to note, I don't need much:D The dresses either all ready belonged to my wife or it was the Salvation Army thrift store! All this since 6 years ago when I really started to get into it.

May I have my money wired to me or do I have to collect in person. In person I'd buy lunch.:heehee:

[Connie D50]

I would have to say it's in the 10000.00 range. Been dressing for over 40 years at 250 avg. a year 10,000.00

Over 8000.00 US Currency, sorry i must , its just a girl thing you know.:D Nadeen

[Jesse69]

$3500 total spent estimate

[trannie T]

It's been worth every penny!

[Calliope]

I started out with a utility closet full of eviction clothes, half of them dresses (no shame!) and although I buy unisex Speedo bikini bottoms for undies, I stay cheap thanks to abundant used clothing stores. Very little makeup. Only real addiction I wrestle with is ear-rings. Under $1,000 for clothes, $1,000 for ear-rings.

[Wenda]

Just a mental tally, since restarting two years ago this week, $2,500 on eBay, $600 at specialty shops, probably another $1,000 at department stores, probably another $500 at shoe stores, thrift etc, and then the cosmentic departments .... oh! the jewellery! Who brought this up???

[Kaitlyn Michele]

let me go look in my closet...

i'll be back in a couple of days

[Lady Jayne]

:eek: dare not even think about it! but I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Lisa Golightly]

I reckon I could own a couple of rather nice houses :)

[Lilith Moon]

I would guess up to 2000 UKP total. Not a vast amount for nearly a lifetime of dressing. Almost everything I have ever bought, apart from some early purges, fits into most of a double wardrobe with just a little room for my boy clothes 0.02

[Toyah]

Not a nice question and not one I like to think about but a hell of a lot

[Wendy me]

lets just say it would be a lot or more....... wow i never thought to keep count of it all .......after all i am planning on keeping Wendy and like not returning her.....

[tekla west]

far less then I've spent on gas, and better for the environment.

in reality, at most a few thousand dollars in 35 years. I could not trade that for a house or anything, maybe a vintage Fender Strat with Vintage amps, but I have an instrument I love, and the amp is good enough for me. So, not bad

[Trish]

Well into the thousands.

[Kate Simmons]

Don't want to think about it Hon. I'd probably go into deep depression. After 3 major purges and now having built back up my wardrobe to an acceptable level again, I just consider it money well spent because #1. I've learned my lesson finally that "purges" don't work and #2. Ericka is here to stay. Take care Ericka Kay

[Tiffy]

I am sure it is well into the 5 figures. But it does not matter. Because if I had it all in my hands right now I would just go shopping any way.

April Marie

[Angie G]

Maybe abuot $500 or so.

[EricaCD]

How much money would I have now? The answer: less than I actually do have, because the therapy bills would have added up a lot faster than the Macy's bills did.

Erica

[tekla west]

Great reply Erica! Love it. Panties are much cheeper than thearpy, and you can wear them more than once too.

[connie rotten]

let me go look in my closet...

i'll be back in a couple of daysPretty & whitty funny reply

[Leslie16]

I actually counted it today (weird huh?). About $2,000 in the past 9 month. OUCH!

[prettieboy]

i can honestly say less than a100.00 bucks in 25 years my collection 50 bras 50 panties a dozen or so hosery 3 bikini swimsuits 3 one piece 6 mini skirts 2 baby dolls 3 slips 7 dresses 12 blouses 2 pants some makeup some jewerly.

[Shelly Preston]

The figure is less than I want to but more than I should.

Oh and I dare not think about the total

[Connieminiskirts]

I really not sure, probabaly $20,000 to $30,000!! Maybe even more if ya count all the times I have purged and restarted, Scary sometimes when I have thought about it. If my first wife knew?? well lets just say the support payments would damn well double!!!!!! LOL

BTW I have stopped worrying about it. If I want it I buy it!!

[sparks]

About 1.25 in change!

Let's just be serious! If it wasn't spent on girl stuff it woulda been spent somewhere else. In my case comicbooks.

[fran46]

I've been a fairly profligate spender over the 25 years that I've been seriously into crossdressing. I'd estimate that I've put out about $50,000 for my wardrobe, which fills two large rental storage units. That counts everything -- two bridal gowns, dozens and dozens of outfits from Talbots, all manner of fetishy stuff such as maid's dresses and cheerleaders uniforms, multiple sizes of breast forms, a hundred pairs of shoes, wigs, etc.

It's a lot. But I've never regretted how I've spent the money.

[ErikaLeigh]

I would say $4k to $5k or there abouts. The few purges I did were E X P E N S I V E !!! But My current wardrobe is probably about $1500.00

[Han]

I have only just come out of the closet, literally. So, I would say £100 (which is $200). Last thing mind you was a pair of pink high heels today that cost only £5. I am a sucker for the bargins :D

I can imagine this to be quite an expensive hobby. :)

[sierracd6]

about $3000........the last ex and I got into it a couple times and I threw everything away ....so I had to just re-buy.............thank god she is gone....cding is cheaper now

[Tracy_Victoria]

Hum tough one but just saying 37 years of dressing by £500 quid a year means 18.5K so give or take a few K 20 thousand has to be a good ball park figure, as with make up, wigs, tights etc, £500 per year is easy to spend!

however to quote the old saying,

I spend my money on beer and woman, The rest I just waste!

[Deborah_UK]

I have spent a fortune on clothes and especially shoes! - a girl can't have too many shoes you know.

I'd like to turn this around a little though, when I think of how much I have spent on following my football team all around the country and my yearly season ticket, I could have had the laser treatment I really want on my facial and body hair.

[Elena Ambasce]

Probably not as much as I should have spent, actually.

Between borrowing family members' clothes without permission early on (probably the thing about my dressing I'm most ashamed of), being broke/paying off a lot of debt for the last 2-3 years, and other than that generally being an anti-spendthrift, I've maybe spent $1000-$1500 total, and I've been dressing off and on for about 20 years now.

I've only purged once, right before moving back into my mom's house for a few months, yet my wardrobe is still at the point where I can literally say "I have nothing to wear"... I have basically one outfit that I can wear out, and not a lot more than that (it's not like I have a closet full of other stuff that I can't wear out, either...)

Hmm, sounds like I really need to get out there and do some shopping...

[Raychel]

Over the last 35 years I would guess that it would be in the $10,000 range, and climbing fast.

[renee k]

Lot's and lot's of money! I've given up counting. I figure its one of life's necessities.

Huggs, Renee

[allisonrn06]

probably enough to buy a car,although sorry to say I've kept only a small fraction of the clothes and shoes I've bought over the years.

[rexy]

HOW CAN WE PUT A PRICE ON WHAT WE DO ? IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THEN SOME !!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Ms Alison Janes]

It doesn't matter, because I'm worth it.:happy:

[Krystal Lee]

I was going to make a flip reply but on reflection.....

Honestly it is scary how much I have spent. Not all directly for clothing or accessories.

Making a trip out of town, just to let Krystal out for a bit, can set me back a few k.

I don't think I could buy a house but I could add a really big closet to mine!!

Hugs Krystal

[avawho]

For myself, the best way to think about the amounts I have spent over these past 40 plus years is to treat it like any other investment, only spend what you are prepared to potentially loose... It would be well into the 5 figures (just the clothes alone), I have had many spending binges, to then later ultimately purge (god I can be so dumb)... I have had times where even theropy seemed an utter total waste of money...

In the end, I'm still me, still solvent and still dressing... nothing changes eh?

Cheers
Ava

[Joy Carter]

Well it's hard to figure but I once spent 300.00 on one outfit wig, shoes, dress, makeup, underclothes and some jewelry. That was five years ago and she found it and went berserk:Angry3: , I threw the stuff away and told her I'd try not to dress it lasted about three years........... God I looked good!:o

[JasmineR]

I wish I had some of that money now...

just because it was spent on stuff I got rid of when I promised parents or my ex gg that I would quit:sad: I could use that money to buy new things now, or better yet I just wish I had some of that stuff back.

[Kristen Kelly]

No matter what the figure it will alway be more than male clothes,......... my Polyester leisure suit still looks good :rolleyes:

[Sarah Rabbit]

What are some of you girls wearing? I don't have 'Chatty' clothes but they are nice, something I could wear in public(If only my Non Femme face would co-operate) but my extensive 'Female' wardrobe would be flat out trying to crack the $2000 mark. Admitedly, E-bay Bargains were a big help and I do have to buy drab as well, but $20 to $30 k +.... Sorry, could not justify it.0.02


Sarah R. :bunny:

[melissa michaels]

probebly a couple thousand on jewelery alone.can't guess about the rest.only
regret is one purge.

[Kimberly]

couple of hundred... that'll probably sky rocket by the time I'm 30.

[Jennaie]

Thousands, maybe 5 or 6.

[Billijo49504]

A whole bunch. Besides the regular closets, we have 2 bedrooms that are used as closets. With racks to hang stuffon and shelves to put storage boxes on. But that's between me and the wife...BJ

[Stormgirl]

A couple thousand dollars most likely.
