What do you have difficulty finding? Open to ALL

[suzy cool]

We all have our own strange (or not so strange) desires and kinks and quirks so I was wondering if you are having trouble finding something that you desire. There are plenty of places to buy clothing online etc but do they really cater for what you want? I know what I like but it's hard to find it all in one place. It seems that the people who make things for the CD community are translating something from a secondhand account but without really understanding the language.
Like....Sissy clothing...for example. "Stick some lace on it and make it look like a 5 year old designed it with new crayons on a sugar rush." Doesn't really work. They sort of have the idea but don't 'get it'. Although having said that, there are some good companies if you look hard enough.

How about the FtM guys? Is there somewhere where all your ideas of 'male' and 'macho' can be found in one place, produced by someone who understands the angle? Can you buy cheque shirts and boxers with a 'friend' already sewn in? Pull 'em on, ready to go? (Patent pending.):)

I'm just curious. Have I just not found the right links or is there a lack out there for your personal desires?

[Joy Carter]

A good selection of reasonably priced tall women's dresses........:Angry3:

[Emily Anderson]

I don't have any strange desires. Hmm, maybe I'm just too normal.

I'm not sure what a cheque shirt is - do you mean plaid? If so, those aren't hard for me to find or any men's shirt, really. Sometimes I have to get them shortened a bit at the tailor (I'm a shorty), but most of the time I can find my size and not too long.

I'm not interested in boxers with "friends". I have plenty of boxers and I can add my own "friend" when I want. ;)

My problem is shoes. I have small feet (even for a female) and there are no men's shoes in my size - only boys shoes, which are not made very well and aren't very comfortable. In fact, my last quest for work shoes led me to the Easy Spirit store where I bought two pair of gender-neutral women's shoes (and I got funny looks from the salesguy). That thread is in our clothing section somewhere, if anyone's interested (I think it's called "Finally, Shoes!"). :p

[AmberTS]

I have trouble finding anything My size (Im a 50 inch waist in male pants) that isnt horrid looking or a moo moo. I've seen a few magizines that have clothing I liked, but not at almost 200 dollars a dress or 100 bucks for a skirt.

Shoes are a problem too. 13w male feet dont seem to fit in any of the female shoes Id love to get.

Of course, some "Naughty" clothing like a corset and a garterbelt with stockings that fit me too would be a godsend... but again, Im on the large size and cant seem to find anyone who makes clothing for my size:sad:

[Karren H]

I find everything I desire at Kohl's... and TJ Maxx.... Burlington... Ohh yeah and Value City..... Macys.... Sears.... Pennys.... :)

[DonnaT]

Mostly, bras. Having a 50 inch chest makes it harder to find a proper bra, especially one without DD cups, in a store.

[AmandaM]

Since I've lost 30 lbs, no problema. If I could find some backzip pants, hmmmm......

[Danille]

13 wide 3 or 4" heels for me.I have 20+ pairs of shoes, but damn, the left one is tight at times, even using a shoe stretcher. Oh, and a nice pleated skirt. Seems that they have gone out of style.

[Joy Carter]

Google your female size, and you just might find what you looking for. Women's size shoes are one to one and a half larger in size than men's. In other words, I ware an eleven and a half E in men's. But a thirteen WW in women's. Ross Homerson is a pretty good brand and they have limited large sizes. Try "Zappo's". Pricey, but no shipping either way.

[Samantha43]

Tall sizes. I am 6' tall, 190 pounds and have long arms. I am size 18 on top and size 12 on the bottom. Sooooooooo, finding anything that fits is difficult for me. JC Penney does have some tall sizes, and that is where I usually buy my clothes.

[Caitlintgsd]

Hugss, Kathy

Ditto to that! And where's the pretty sandals in 14? Sometimes Doc Martin's are cute with a skirt, but it's just too warm for that.

[Stargirl]

I have difficulty finding super cute Vintage dresses from the 1940's that I don't get beaten out of by rabid e bayers. Unless I bid something high like 100 dollars, and hope that they will "back down" at 60, I rarely ever win the "Must have" dresses that a few of the bidders may even rob a bank to get their hands on. Certain garments "speak" to us. I speak back..late at night as I gaze at the screen : "I want you"......On another note, I get depressed when I go to a thrift shop and can't find anything but sleazey cheap synthetics. But I do get lucky at times and latch onto something classy, so all is not lost. :love:

[trannie T]

Size 14W shoes and a 48D bullet bra would make me happy.

[sissystephanie]

Being an almost perfect size 16(wish it was size 12 or at least 14), and wearing ladies size 10 shoes, I have no problem finding anything to wear. My problem is finding closet space to put it in. You would think that living alone in a three bedroom house with fair size closets in every bedroom I would have plenty of space! But I don't!!! I even have portable closets in my basement that are full! Maybe I should stop buying! Naaaahhhhhh!!!!

Hugss, KathyGot to agree with Kathy. Sensible ladies shoes in larger sizes is a tough find.

[CD Susan]

What I have difficulty finding has nothing to do with clothing! I find it difficult to find a cd friend that lives close enough to me to possibly meet. Everyone I meet on these kinds of sites lives so far away that meeting isn't practicle.

[whitelace]

Yes Susan,

Either my location is not blessed with a good amount of real dyed in the wool crossdressers that would like to meet or they are not as gutsy as in the larger cities I get lots of email
during the week but when the week end rolls around my repliers are no where to be found . it would be nice to have a like minded girl friend for shopping or just meet for a beverage....lacie:battingeyelashes:

[joann07]

I find everything I desire at Kohl's... and TJ Maxx.... Burlington... Ohh yeah and Value City..... Macys.... Sears.... Pennys.... :)

I'm with Karen!
But, I must also add Victoria's Secret, Dillards, Dressbarn, Marshalls, Body Central, Wet Seal, Sephora, Target, Ross, Shoe Carnival, Beall's,...... :)

[SusanLaine]

I guess I'm a lucky one that wears pretty reasonable sized shoes (same as my wife in fact) and my clothes size is still a bit large but coming down and still not too hard to locate. What I would like is some consistency in sizing - sometimes I need a size 22 and sometimes I need a 16, I'm not sure if it's the difference in my proportions from a GG or difference in style or what but it means that I have to try on everything before I know it fits and often this means I have to buy it and return it if it doesn't fit, what a pain.

Shoes...I wear a perfect 10 which is great but I no longer buy online (I like Zappos a lot) because 70% of the shoes I order don't feel comfortable or just don't seem to fit right. Yes I know they have a great return policy but what pain again...you better believe I'll be in a shopping frenzy this year around SCC. :-)

[Farrah]

I can't find the cute clothes you small girls can wear. I guess its time for a diet.:straightface:

[jennCD]

...a pair of stylish, low heel pumps in a size 15 for my frankenfeet would be a nice start...

:)
jenn

[pamela_a]

Shoes for me too. Like Jenn I wear a 15W. What's frustrating is at woman within (http://www.womanwithin.com) I can find a number of shoes that go to 14WW. So close but yet so far.

[Bev06 GG]

Well Suzy thats easy peasy. A dress that makes me look like Miss World with all the curves in all the right places and legs that go right up to my bum.
Bev

[Gabie]

Hum a dress like the one Bev looking for :o but more seriously finding clothing is always a pain to me, in guy mode or normaly im in the border of size >< so i got one of my ex GG who like sweing do my clothing ... but pleated school skirt where are they !!!

[Bev06 GG]

MM thats a thought Gabbie,
I tried to get a pleated school type of a skirt not so long back for a friend CD of mine. I couldn't find a big one in any of the school shops so I went round the charity shops, still had no luck but your right they seem to be in short supply right now.
Bev

[BobbieAnne]

Guess I am one of the lucky ones, I can do my shopping at wally world right off the rack

[Kimberly Marie]

Well the biggist thing I'm haveing trouble with is I have no idea what I want at this time. I know I want somthing new in casual....:)

[Brooke Smith]

Wow,thanks girls I feel so much better. I had no idea how petite my 12w size feet were. Still,I'd love to buy cute shoes off the rack at reasonable prices like GGs do.

[suzy cool]

Well Suzy thats easy peasy. A dress that makes me look like Miss World with all the curves in all the right places and legs that go right up to my bum.
Bev

lol

You're looking for somewhere to buy long legs?:eek:

Good luck with that one.

[Ashley1]

In the past, many stores sold knee length, rayon sheath, zip back dresses that looked very classy and did not cost a small fortune. I wish I could find a nearby store that still stocked a reasonable number of these conservative type dresses I do not like to use ebay or second hand stores. The only place that I see them these days is on Turner Classic Movies which I think tells me something.:hugs:

:love:
Ashley

[Jennifer Giovannetta]

I can usually find clothing that fits me. I go to Khols, Walmart and the like. But I have an expensive taste in shoes. Im a size 12-13.
One time I found a pair of shoes that were so cute, but only went up to a size 10. They were a pair of black patent low heeled closed toed slingbacks with a sort of pointy toe and a black patent leather bow over the vamp of the shoe. They were EXACTLY what I have been craving.
Due to my larger feet, I find myself to be disappointed often. I dont like "non skid soles". I prefer raw leather. So in a nutshell I find that I have a hard time finding shoes that have what I am looking for.
Oh, and I would really like to find a pair of black patent pumps with a patent leather bow. Cant find them in my size ANYWHERE!!!

[RavenAndrea]

For most items I shop at Wal-Mart, Winners and Payless Shoes. I am fortunate to be able to wear size 10 dresses, and I maintain a 28 inch waist, and I wear womens size 10 shoes. Some of my leather outfits are pricy, I have purchased a leather pleated A-line skirt, a leather corset halter top, tight leather pants and a matching leather jacket that all together cost $2000 (but I love them and they are sexy). I wore the pants, corset and jacket to a fetish event this spring and you could tell it turned on both sexes. You may check them out at www.northboundleather.com in Toronto, or look for ravenandrea at either www.adultfriendfinders.com, www.alt.com or www.myspace.com .

[KateSpade83]

Real nice authentic cheerleader outfits are rare on ebay or thrift. Nice styling schoolgirl clothes too. Beatiful corset sets that have a panty instead of a crappy thong - rare.

Cheap but beautiful St John ebay finds take luck!

[Staciej]

Mostly, bras. Having a 50 inch chest makes it harder to find a proper bra, especially one without DD cups, in a store.
I had that problem also till I discovered bra extenders :) So no mor plain style just my size bras like I used to wear lol

[Linda Cox]

a lover

[sherri]

For me, finding the right tops is really tough, even since I've lost so much weight. And finding cool clip-on earrings is nearly impossible these days.

And yeah, like Linda said, I wish the right lover would come out of his or her shell and just tackle me! :D

[Mitch23]

affordable retro corsetry is one thing i struggle to find and one of my little indulgences ..

mitch

[Janet Bern]

Being tall over 6' and size 14/16 dress I have trouble with sleeves and pants length. I found the "Tall Girls Shop" Located near many major cities and on line. Dont feel embarrassed to go in drab and try on womans things. They have about 20% cds.
That being said I am always looking for a size 40AA bra that has long straps so that they dont look like they are riding up in front.
Janet

[suzym4u]

I'm having difficulty finding two things:

1 - A GG that is capable of being an understanding friend with the qualities that would make her a best friend; and

2 - A clothing store that does not employ male sales associates or stuck up, snobby, "oh not another drag queen" female sales associates.

I'm not asking for much am I?

[Elizabeth2-]

Someone to seriously help me with makeup without outing me. My wife has the skin and texture that bare minerals is almost too much. So she does not have the info that I need.

[dynette]

they are just not made for us . The womens fashons go all over the place in sizes and just because t gives us a number we think it will go for us but dresses wont fit most of us ,only those little top lucky ones . I have alot of skirts fom e bay that wont work dammit

[tvbeckytv]

false nails that are wide enough for your average tranny nail.
oh, and bangles that fit over wrist

Susan, if I were closer I'd be there in a minute. We could talk shoes, makeup and about that lovely 68' Charger.

[jennifer24]

A GG that excepts me for who I am and will help me with make up and dressing and go out with me.:)

[michellejw]

Bras that fit, look nice and aren't too expensive. I measure as a 46B but most of the cups are still too big.

[Patti Remick]

Id like to find more short pleated skirts with elastic waistbands. I think Im fairly ordinary sized with about a 30 in waist and can find plenty of back or side zip skirts but I prefer elastic waistband skirts as they are more comfortable in my opinion. Also anything short and pleated - even zipper types - are getting more dificult to find. I do not like skorts or scooters either.

Luv and Hugs,

Rings and bracelets are a problem for me - my hands are great for piano-playing but for fashion - not so much...

have u tried nearly b? also I had to get bra extenders the strap was a wee short and was out of 40ish.

[Angela-Russell]

The only thing I find difficult to find is the time to dress. Never seem to get the house to myself these days.

[Deidra Cowen]

Shoes....nuf said! :devil:

[Empress Lainie]

Size 16.5 women's shoes, nearly nonexistent. Now wearing mens 13 flipflops fulltime.

[MelindaC]

Really good girdles (50's and 60's vintage) and a large selection like in yesteryear when every GG wore one. I especially miss those Playtex rubber girdles and the 19 Hour girdles that were so super --- just try and find one in good shape these days!!

[Susan Watersfield]

Got to agree with Kathy. Sensible ladies shoes in larger sizes is a tough find.

I'm with you Kathy. I take a UK size 12 (US 14), and it seems that most "specialist" suppliers only cater for the more exotic end of the market.

Aren't there any manufacturers out there who want to make large size female shoes that can be used for everyday wear?

Luv

Susan

[bridget thronton]

Finding wide (D) width shoes and 1X or 2X blouses without 3/4 sleeves

[Barbara Dugan]

Time and privacy to dress more often.

[Veronica 1]

Rings big enough to fit my fingers and a lovable woman who understands.

[bridget thronton]

Agreed, finding size 10 and 11 rings is hard for me too

[Secret Sis]

I'm having a really hard time finding a pretty babydoll nightie that has a full panty instead of a skimpy little thong.

[KateSpade83]

Yeah, finding a pretty wife who can wear my size 4 to 6 clothes [mostly] is rare! Nice 90's vintage flare dresses and nice thrift store shoes I like is rare too! I'm very lucky to be a size 4 to 6, size 9.5M shoe, size 12 to 14 swimwear, size 14 to 16 girl's - SIZE! - Lot's of beautiful stuff my size! Gotta suppress spending!

Have you considered relocating? :idontknow:

Have a look at these, for starters? (Remember too, with sandals you can often go down a size..)

[Mary Lee]

Misses 16 short pants, clip-on earrings, and cute bars with longer straps.

[Bonnie D]

A decent bra. The style of bra I wear now seems to be discontinued or something. I amt rying to find a similar one but am having difficulties. I have checked hundreds of bras but am not satisfied with any of them. My ex had the same problem. When she needed to replace the ones she wore they would be discontinued and she would have to search for new one. Her search was endless too. When she found one to her liking she would buy a few. I am having the same problem.

[sillyfish]

From all the shoe complaints, i guess i really should appreciate wearing size 8.5 womens >.<;

I guess what i really want is to able to find a nice wig that fits my style =)

[WildLotus29]

So far it's mostly been just shoes. But I can't decide if it's a sizing issue or because I'm picky... heh

[KayR]

Ever since I saw Sophie Ellis Bextor doing that "death on the dancefloor" or something, video I longed for a pair of those knee-length stilleto peeptoe gladiator-type boots she wears. The nearest I came to them was on a goth-style web shop site. They were platforms, and chunky. I dont like that sort. :daydreaming:

[debbeelee1]

I'm 5'-14-1/2" tall and have a hard time finding things for tall gals: pants, hose, tights, thigh high boots (mine are more like knee high boots!), long skirts, dresses, etc............

Thanks for those tips.

I'll try to put them to good use :)

[erickka]

I too have trouble finding stylish and nice looking shoes in size 12. Almost anywhere I find larger sizes, they are so butt ugly, that I wouldn't even let my pet pot belly pig be seen in them!

[Carol123]

:daydreaming:someone nice that would treat me like a wife

[vivian33]

I can never find a pair of jeans that fits me just right. I have kind of petite legs but i also own a larger than average butt. If a normal butt is a 5 and an extremely big one is a 10 i would say i have a 7. I've had many girls compliment me in guy mode telling me that they are jealous of my butt. it is very girly and i am athletic so thats not the problem, i just can never find a pair of jeans that i like to fit me just right.

[Tomara]

For me it is not being able to find pretty and sexy bras in my size , don`t larger framed GGs like to look and feel sexy with different colors and print bras ? It seems all bras over a 38 in smaller cup sizes are way too plain.
:sad: Tomara

[Anna the Dub]

I never realised I was so lucky, size 8 shoe, size 16/18 (UK) dress size, and I am only 5'7". Don't have any problem getting any clothes.

[Shelly67]

Gosh ...desire , well I,d love a totally flat tummy ( yes I can find it in sit ups and crunches , but blow it ....I love my back to behave in a normal manner ) so instead I,ll settle for something more relative .
Time alone - in peace .
I work in a noisey factory , people rushing about , and then only to come home to a couple of noisy parrots who scream for attention.
It may be selfish , but , I,ve always wanted to find total silence , hear my own heartbeat , and gather my thoughts .......

Good thread.
