All my clothes I have either purcahsed by myself or with my wife except some from the JC Penny catalogue. When I purchase from JC Penney I either try them on in the store or return them to the catalogue store if they do not fit. They ones I borrowed from my spouse are long gone. Now if we share we buy them together. How many of you do that? More than 90% of my clothes have women's labels.

I always buy my own clothes dressed in drab, not a problem with underwear and sizeing etc but shoes can be a hassle as you have to try them on and that took a bit of courage the 1st time but now I am fine. Nowadays my confidence is such that I even try on dresses, tops, skirts etc, just pick them out and head straight for the change room.
Hugs to all

I do all my own shopping, and with the exception of a very few times, i am always totally femme when shopping for Denise.
I find the sizings on clothes vary so much, that i have now taken the position, if I cant try it on I will not buy it.
I do feel so much more confident when shopping femme. Just last night, i was shopping, into a ladies store i frequent often. The sales girls there are fantasitc.
I did buy 3 skirts and one top.
At the time I was in the store there were a couple of teen age girls in there trying on clothes as well, and they did not even take a second look at me when i went to a changing room to try on the items.
I was in a store in a city about an hour from me a couple of months ago. Had to be drab, due to a meeting i had in the morning.
Stopped into the store that i often go to as well, but usually femme.
Guess the sales girl saw me holding a dress and skirt up in front of me, to see how they might fit.
She came over, we chatted for a minuet about anything, then out of the blue, she asked: Would you like to try them on. It made me feel so good that she was accepting, With here help, we found 2 dresses that fit me on the sale rack, and this kind of service, made my day, and for sure i will continue to go to the store when i am in town

All of my women's clothes I have bought in person or with my wife with me (not counting the clothes she buys for me on her own). I have worked up the courage to try on the clothes I am buying during my last 3 shopping trips (thought that is over a span of 1 year).

I've tried on shoes, but usually wait until the sales people are busy helping someone else. I know in my head that I shouldn't care who is around when trying on shoes, but I'm still working on calming those nerves.

The sales ladies at my Lane Bryant store know me by my male name. I have a platiumun card. So Yes, I shop in person. Oh, the wife works at the AVenue, so I shop there in person too...BJ

i get most of mine at goodwill or walmart.it's pry 60 % of the time i'm in drab (androgynous clothes),otherwise i'm in femme to the fullest.it works better when in femme cause it isn't so bad as feeling a lil pressured.

Helllllllll no.

Im an ebay girl all the way! Its the perfect way to shop in my opinion, I get new items at ridiculously low prices, and no embaressment of actually shopping. Online stores are great too, thats usually how I get my lingerie. The only drawback is postage time...SOB! I was preying Id get some things I bought today, but looks like they wont be here until monday....long sad weekend for me :(

ooooooooooooooooh,,, 'bout half 'n half, i guess,,, for mee, getting all dressed 'n made-up 'n sitting 'round th' house seems a bit pointless 'n boring,,, but,, not soooo much into clubs 'n bars anymore at my age,,, soooo,,, if have no social engagement t' attend, where t' go??? ~shopping~ !!!!!!!!!!!,,, but,,, being primarily nocturnal by nature, online shopping is really tremendously convenient,,,, and ebay is absolutely fabulous for vintage apparel from th' '60's 'n early '70's, which i personally, absolutely adore,,, i've always wanted t' be a go-go girl!!!!!

I do a bit of both,if isee a skirt or dress that i really like and i am with my wife i will ask her to buy it and sometimes she will refuse, i think purely from a financial point of view as money is often quite tight and she cannot justify in her head that i am spending money on female clothes, if this is the case i just go back to the shop myself and buy it. The only thing i do not buy when i an alone is my bra and pants, but my wife is good at keeping me supplied when it comes to brithdays and the like, she will also buy these when i am with her for me, so i do have more than enough, but then again i do not have any male underwear so a girl cannot go out without her panties on. i also do some shopping on line and just the other day i managed to eventually buy a ball gown that i have dreamt about for years ,and at half the cost of many other source i have look at, i am not brave enough to try clothes on in the shop as i still have not pluck up the couragew to take my jennifer out of the house yet, although i do go to a support group once a month and that is the only place other than my house were i can let jennifer enjoy the freedom . i am in awe of anyvgirl who is already at the stage of not caring who knows(what a wonderful dream)

I buy all my femme clothes in person, shopping both en femme and en drab. I have no problem shopping in guy mode....I really don't think anyone cares, even when I am trying on shoes. And I do try on my clothes before I buy, too.

I buy the majority of my femme clothes in person...and en drab. Occasionally I will buy clothes from catalogs but not nearly as often as I did when I was much younger.

I have never used a catalogue... Always buy mine off the rack, usually after I try them on in the store.. And I shop at mainly department stores.. In male mode and enfemme.. Have never returned anything.

And all my fem clothing have womens labels...hehehe

I don't have a wife, and do both online and in person shopping. I prefer in person cause it's so much more fun, but I can't always find what I'm looking for. So thats when online comes in. The more I shop the more the sales people get to know me which makes it so much easier. A manager in a store last week spent a hour and a half helping me select and try on things. I'll be going back there real soon.:happy:

I buy all my clothes in person. I like to be able to see the materials before I buy. I don't try on anything in the stores. If it don't fit, I don't have any problems exchanging it, or returning it for a refund. No one pays attention to what you are buying, they are only interested in your money.

Buying clothes in person is almost as much fun as wearing them later.

Yes. I buy my shoes in drab all the time. Sales people at Nine West stores are very accommodating to guys buying their great shoes - trying them on in the store, I mean.

I buy all my femme clothing in person - endrab!

Love to wander through the store and select items. I have only ever tried on femme clothing in large department stores, but otherwise I haven't yet so so in speciality ladies shops - kinda too obvious for me in drab mode!

In fact, i'm no longer self-concious when I walk into ladies stores. Kinda act like I belong and speak confidently to the SA's. Don't give the excuse i'm shopping for the wife/GF, but also don't say i'm shopping for myself either. When I select and buy an item, I usually say 'this should fit nicely' or 'it's a pretty design'. Can mean kinda anything can't it?

Hey, nothing wrong with saying that you are shopping for yourself.

I normally ask the SA's whether its ok to try some items on.
Something as obviously as femme as a skirt, and they will know it's for you!!

I sure do,you should see the stares I get when I try on shoes

Once I had a sales person refuse to show me women's boots. To get shoes big enough I normaly have to use my JC Penny Catalogue and return some which did not fit. Yesterday I wore my heels for about an hour. Sometimes I find shoes at Shopco or Target.

I buy all my clothes in person, and almost always try them on before buying. It's way less of a hassle to ask to use the fitting room that it is to go home and find out that a top looks like crap on me. The fun part is that at a lot of stores, the girls that work there really get into the idea of dressing a guy up. I've even managed to get dates from girls when I was out clothes shopping. I tend to shop at the mall stores (Express, Delia's, Charlotte Russe, etc).

I shop 90% of the time enfemme and use the dressing rooms. I love trying on numerous outfits. Sometime what looks good on the rack looks bad on the old bod and then again "bingo", you find something that works.

It's a wonderful life!
