I have two levels of dressing.
Just putting on a dress or skirt is something I do almost every day.
But the 'all out' dressing, makeup, hair, in short doing a good enough job that I feel comfortable out in public? That takes a few hours the evening before, then a good chunk of the morning I'm planning on going out. As I am getting used to doing it more, I feel like I'm getting less 'reward' for it, so it just isn't happening as much.
I think I've only really gone out twice this year so far (not counting drives and short walks on quiet streets). If I could get the entire effort/process down to an hour, I think I'd do it more often.
I have never purged, or had the urge to. If purging is normal, I'm a freak. Of course, I make a lot of my own stuff, so it seems a shame to toss it when I have plenty of space. I've got stuff nearly 20 years old, sentimental value lol.
I do go months without dressing sometimes however. And other times I'll find a time slot, a night to myself which I plan to dress, and when the time comes, I DREAD the work of dressing.
Some of those nights end up being the most wonderful of all time, after breaking through the dread.

Careful darling, this one appears to be off limits. She can be off topic or rude or whatever and any retort or challenge is deleted by the mods.
Of course she is free send a rather rude and mildly aggressive PM with no consequence.

I seem to find underdressing is fairly constant in my life but I have few opportunities to fully dress.Would love more opportunities especially to fully dress although I do agree it takes forward planning and can be "hard work"but that never hurt anyone ,did it?I feel like I should purge sometimes but my brain tells me that would be silly,a wast of money and my heart says you may need them again sometime so I will try to avoid this in future.

More trouble than it's worth? And odd thing to write I think. I guess it all depends on why you wear female clothing. If you do it for a thrill, then yes, maybe you have to decide if you 'need' that thrill today. But if you wear female clothes just to feel normal, then the effort isn't really an effort at all; it's just what we normally do. In contrast; it's an effort to force myself to dress as a guy so I can go out and do normal chores without looking like a complete idiot in a dress. I can pass as a normal guy; I can't pass as a female of any kind (Well, maybe a female gorilla), and I don't want or need the kind of attention I'd get if I went out dressed as a girl.

Two things to bear in mind - you will always want to crossdress - it just don't go away - so don't purge - pack your clothes up and put em away for a bit if you don't feel like it.
Also don't force it - dress when you get the urge and not just because you feel you have to
Also try just wearing the clothes w/o the make-up. Of course you'll look like a guy in a dress but that is OK - the hard bit is striving to look realy femme with the make-up and the wigs.
I happily wear womens clothing all day and a nightie to bed even if I have not worn any make-up at all. However - keep your toes painted - I do love that!

Heh. I've sort of been there, which might be a strange thing for a GG to say. A friend of mine who was a TS always wanted to get dressed to the nines in matching dresses when we went out together. That got old quick. I feel like a nice feminine top and pants might be just enough dressing up without all the fuss. We all go through phases so don't throw anything out.
I only get dressed up to the nines if I'm out on the razzle :drink::drink::drink: Around the house it's usually t-shirt, jeans and syrup.
There are days when it seems like a lot of work to get all dolled up for a short period of time before I'd have to change and put everything away again. I guess it comes down to just how badly I want to be en femme. Most times when that happens, I just bag it, and look forward to the next opportunity. There are always things to do to occupy my time, and I'm more productive when I'm not dressed.
Dressing up all nice is a pain in the ass. Honestly, I hate the process of dressing fully en femme, and the maintenenace, but I do like the end result.
Dressing in more than jeans and a tee is a pain for anyone. Suit and tie, dress with full makeup, uniform, etc, yeah it looks good in the end but the process is a hassle, for men, women, TG, whoever.
Heh, like anything, sometimes one feels like it and other times it is just too much hassle. Even with fun stuff. It is quite normal to go thru cycles. Sometimes the desire to dress can disappear for years at a time. Really, you should not worry.
Is it normal for men to wear skirts? Well according to definition, no it is not normal, but think of this - most people in the world do something not "normal" by definition. Gyod who the heck wants to be normal anyways, Normal is no fun!
I seldom wear skirts, and have never owned a dress. I would rather show off MY long, shapely strong tanned legs in short shorts. Yes they are very hot legs... Nicole you little...
OK, I better send myself a PM telling myself all the lustful thoughts I am having over my own legs, as to keep things clean in the open forum. :heehee:
Have you heard of that saying " you can have to much of a good thing " when things become just routine the desire gos , leave it off for a while and it will return .
LOL that is so funny you beat me to it. I was just going to reply to Kat with the same answer. I have to get dressed up every day because I'm in and out of nurseries and pre schools and as a rep of local government, I just can't not make the effort. However, on the days when I am working from home and catching up with admin, I very rarely get changed out of my sweatshirt. I never put makeup on when I'm not venturing out of the house, and although I wash my hair every day, I make very little effort to do anything much with it. So Kat how feminine are you girl probably off the scale because thats exactly how I feel from time to time.Quote:
