I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I'm interested in knowing how many of us in this group are publicly out and about, and how many of us are stay at home girls.
Mod kill if overkill :)

Stay-at-home :sad:. Except for once a year, a whole weekend in a hotel!! :D
I dress and stay at home mostly, but do go out occasionally:)
Since I've toned things down somewhat recently, I usually reserve it any more for just going to the club or out with some friends. I used to do everything but have nothing more to prove really and quite honestly shopping bores me, not to mention no one really gives a hoot if I'm a guy in a dress anyway.:battingeyelashes::)
I dress at home of course.
The real question should have been where do you go after you have gotten dressed? For me, the answer to that is where ever I need to go. Work, shopping, errands, etc it doesn't matter. Fem clothing only for this girl.

Paula,
True! Much as the word "dress" can be used as a noun, verb, adjective or an idiom, I used it incorrectly. I'm hoping the majority will understood and respond.
Gotta love pedantical people! :)
I dress at home only.
Due to job, facial hair, and a wife who does not approve. Then, I am confined to my closet....
Same as me. I dress MAINLY at home.Quote:

I only dress at home when i'm in the house alone. I have on one occassion drove during the night whilst wearing a skirt, tights and heels. Wow what a feeling. I didn't have the courage to get out and walk around, maybe one day.

I'm out and about anywhere I feel comfortable, although not where I live. I go to other nearby cities, trying to put at least 25 miles between home and my destination, often more. But I do enjoy girl time at home as well, I take all I can get since it isn't practical for me to transition at this time.
I dress almost every day after work. On weekends I mostly just dress at home. Then started going out for drives en femme. That is quite liberating in itself, but now I drive en femme for a purpose ... to go shopping.
:daydreaming:
I've been going out and about going on two years now. So far it's been pretty liberating. I no way pass. I just dress nice and behave myself. "Oh Shut Up Teresa !" LoL :D
I dress at home almost exclusively, but do go out dressed in a stealth manner often (femme jeans, tennis shoes, plain ladies tee shirt, no wig or makeup). Fully dressed only when wilderness camping, and sometimes on Halloween. Last week I drove to New Orleans wearing a jogbra and breast forms, and removed the forms before getting out of the car each time, otherwise I was dressed in my drab clothes.
Pamela:)
Out and proud and sometimes loud and know what to do if I draw a crowd.
Just at home. I am a happy "closet" girl!!!
I put down only at home but do dress sometimes for the ride home when I working nights I Chang in the car and drive the 27 miles. Last time I got out of the car to get the mail and paper out of the mail box at the side of the road .:hugs:

I am out and about, mostly taking walks, all the time. But I do not wear a wig or makeup, and do not try to pass. Just enjoy the feeling of being out in a dress or skirt.
When I was younger I used to dress when I was on the road. Always brought my femme stuff, dressed at the hotel/motel and then went for a drive or to a local mall to just walk around. I am short and of small stature so I never saw any glaring looks. After my children grew up and went out into the world and my wife and I separated, I dressed all the time at home. It was rare to find me without something feminine on, but then I started dating other CD's and would dress and drive to their house or vice versa. Dressing is a part of my life I cannot give up nor do I want to. Its wonderful to sleep every night in satin PJ's or a lovely nightgown. Funny thing though, I have never been shopping enfemme. Hope to do that soon. What other people think is becoming less and less of an issue for me.
Hugs, Janice
I have to agree with you, since I came out to mySO it has gone to the point of what you said who gives a hoot anyway, there used to be the thrill of getting that fleeting moment in time that you were able to dress but that has also gone away.Quote:

Hugs!
Although I am not 100% confident, I feel pretty comfortable going almost anywhere in public en femme. I don't go out very often, but when I do, I go shopping at malls or other shopping areas. I have never travelled on public transportation, but I would like to do it sometime. I have eaten at a couple of restaurants, but my main trouble with that is that women usually go in pairs or groups and I don't have a CD friend to go with, so I'm a little reluctant to go alone because I think that I will stand out more that way.
At home, I do everything (when I can--meaning when no one else is at home) en femme: I read, watch TV, work in my garden, take out the garbage, etc.
If I could, I would dress 24/7--maybe someday.
I dress at home,but go to a studio,where others dress.We all have a key,so you make it when you can.We chip in for the rent to keep it going.
[SIZE=2]Another closet case stay-at-homer here. I see there's more of us than we thought![/SIZE]
Fully out and about and proud of how I present myself, in public and in the lime-light of day.
Keep in mind, a year ago, I was still strictly in the closet.
A lot can change in a year.
-- closet. Uhh, I mean "castle"?
Same here, dress at home, andro out and about. With red fingernails,Quote:

Much more comfortable.
Ladies I dress at home and go out and about. Malls, Grocery store, drug store clubs and restuarants. it gets real easy fter a while. lots of fun
Only dress at home, but sometimes venture out into the back garden (in the dark). Nice to feel the wind on my legs x
hay girl its all about you if you feel good about yourself tnan go for it it would be nice to have someone with but if you pass be the bitch you are and love it its nice to get over on men and bringe them down a notch or to when we need to when i go out as a gg/i dress to kill and tease the hell out of them with female power........... but then again its nice to be with a man to really feel like a women anyway allways be you and never change yove ya angie from connecticut xxxxxxxxxxxx
I rarely dress at home, when I dress I usually go out and that is once or twice a month. I'm not going to go through all that effort to stay home and watch a rerun on television.
I dress regularly at home, underdress most of the time, and sometimes if i get the chance of a long drive, I wear a (see-through) blouse and remove my male gear so that i am in a couple of very long slips over my stockinged legs. Wonderful. But I would never go out shopping while dressed. Sometimes i slip into the back garden, but am always worried someone will turn up - man to read the meter, postman for a signature, etc. Does not happen often, but if it did ..........ouch!

I am another stay at home. I have gone out partially dressed, but nothing more. Wife approves of my CD'ing and we have talked about an outing, but I have a lot of work to do.
Other than an occasional Halloween outing, I am strictly a dress at home gurl.
Add me to the list of "dress at home"
crossdressers...atleast for now!
im with some of the others..i dress and go out may be once a month if i can..anymore i just do not care...people could really care less if you dress enfemme and many SA in the stores i visit know i am a CD as i have been a loyal customer for years..its just no big deal anymore...i dress i go out and have fun...that is just who i am..your comfort level is your business...i will never slam anyone for being happy in a dress just watching football while chugging a beer..but it is a big beautiful world out there and i do enjoy going out dressed...far as shopping..it is a pain and expensive (gas $4.09 here this week).so i limit shopping anymore as well....my favorite time is just going out to spa parties..I have a wonderful cosmetic sales lady...do all my shopping before hand and spend 3 hours just having fun at the spa party..
I usually dress in a hotel and go out to TG friendly places where I meet other girls. Not too often at home and if I dress at home I don't go out. The wife does not approve! So I've gotten to the point that if I'm going through all the trouble to dress, do makeup and look pretty I want to go out! Otherwise it seems like a waste unless I'm taking pics!
Staycee
I've never dressed at any kind of CD event and don't have access to things that are designated 'CD Friendly'... so if I want to go out, I just have to go wherever a GG would go.
I don't get out often (It's been a few months now), but when I do it is to a shop, bookstore, grocery store, gas station or just a walk down a quite street to enjoy the weather while wearing a nice skirt or dress. :) :)
As others have mentioned, I get a bit bored with shopping as my only activity when out, so am looking for other safe things to do as well.
My LONG TERM goal is to do more involved things (take a night class or seminar, wait for my car while it is being worked on at a garage, attend a concert or show of some kind...) while dressed.
let's not forget out in the woods! or otherwise in nature! far from prying eyes but still potentially seeable.
or, down the street at night, late at night.
big chicken,

The only close call I ever had was when I got back one time to find my dad working in the barn very close to where I'd hidden my change of clothes, so I was 'forced' to stay dressed for a few more hours while I kept an eye on the barn and waited for him to finish what he was doing so I could retrieve my clothes, change and get home.
Another interesting experience came out of this time. I was hiking in the long peasant skirt, blouse and tights one day when I realized that I was on the wrong side of a stream if I wanted to get home. The only options were to either a) cross at a bridge on a road with heavy traffic or b) go more than 2 miles upstream to a shallow point where I could step across on stones.
I was running late getting home, so chose c) Just hike up the skirt and try to wade across.
I was doing good (with water only knee deep, so my tights were soaked but I was able to hold my skirt out of the water) until I got about halfway across. Then I stepped on a rock that shifted under my weight. Both my hands were busy holding my skirt out of the water, so I couldn't catch my balance and went over. Now I was soaked all the way up to my neck, with a 'wet t-shirt' through my sisters white school blouse look showing my bra underneath, soaking wet tights and panties, and a skirt that now felt like it weighed 30 pounds :(
The stream was never any deeper than 4' or so, so I wasn't in any danger. I just finished trudging across now that I was as wet as I was ever going to be, but it was a LONG walk back home in with the heavy heavy skirt dragging on my wet tights with every step.
The most difficult part was sneaking my sisters blouse and bra (which I had 'borrowed' that day) through the washer and drier and back to her before she noticed they were missing. The rest of the clothes I just hung out to dry in the woods the next day...
I dress at home most of the time. Feminine clothes are so comfortable!:) But I also dress very frequently to go out in public. Not to pass as a female, just to be comfortable in my feminine clothing! I go to the P.O. almost every day dressed, and I also go shopping and out to eat. It is my body, and I will clothe it the way I want. I have reached the point where I don't really care what other people think. Surprisingly though, I get more comments like, "I really like your outfit" then I do negative ones. Once I was at a service station putting gas in my car. I was wearing a very feminine grey checked pants suit and patent leather sandals. A car pulled up behind me and the lady who stepped out was dressed exactly in the same oufit! Her comment was, "We both have very good taste, don't we?" She was definitely a GG, and I was, and am, definitely a male!

Girl on the outside, but man underneath!
I have just came out to my wife. We are both thrilled and we would like to join a support group in my area. (Boston) But we are not aware of any. I was always dressing while home alone with the shades drawn and lights on low.
And that's exactly the same for me.Quote:

Since I am one of the people on this forum that has no interest in passing, I suspect the pleasure has more to do wih the tactile sensation of the material on my legs than any flirting with public exposure. (However, the shrink in me won't rule that out. :D)
I mainly dress at home. I do go to a couple of friends homes dressed though. I have also gone to gay bars dressed. It is fun just dressing and driving around for that matter. Although the price of gas is like going to a club. Ha Ha! It feels good to go out dressed though but it doesn't really matter.
I stay at home mostly i have only been out dressed one time this year. and once last year.
Really i when backwards b/c i use to go out 3 nights a week now i don't really go out at all.
At home... for now.
The next step I'm planning on taking is getting dressed-up and going out for a drive. And maybe while I'm at it, I'll drive through a Timmy's and order a coffee! :D
