I’ve gone to David’s Bridal and had a fitting session, it was fun.
My wife is very supportive of my dressing and knew I made the appointment. The only questions about the whole idea she had were how much was I wanting to spend and did I really want a wedding dress or the experience of being fitted?
I put on my wife's wedding dress on our wedding night. I was 20, she was 19. She knew all there was to tell about me at the time. I had no idea what effect that had on her until one of her confidants told me 40 years later. It's just another one of those things I wish I hadn't done.
I remember it as just putting it on, admiring myself in the mirror for a minute and taking it off. Her telling of it was that I wore it for a half hour. Whatever, it was a thoughtless thing to do and I shouldn't have done it.
A few years ago I was in Eureka Springs, AR (if you haven't been there, GO!) and won the Halloween costume contest at one of the bars, dressed as a bride. I had THE most fun. The interaction with the women in the crowd was wonderful. I found a dress and veil at Goodwill for not a lot of money, spent a little more time than usual on makeup, picked out my fanciest earrings and necklace. For me it was trans heaven.
i wear some basics in front or wife but not a bra or dress. i dont think she would like it much. definitely not a turn on but we play with me.in lingerie and hose and stuff.
i dont think she would like a wedding dress but not sure if she would really say anything. definitely would not be a turn on
The closest I ever came was my 2nd marriage. I wore my kilts, doublet, and feather bonnet.

I think more of the fun would come from being a bride for the day. Having a special day where you are the most beautiful person in the room and treated as such. Not going to have as much fun wearing the dress in my living room. It's also a bit cumbersome and a bit of effort to wear. I think the experience is worth way more than the actual dress.
It is a dream of mine to be the bride and be a brides maid and an maid of honor. Maybe one day, I would love to experience the whole thing.
This hasn?t been a dream per se, but today I took my wife to a costume shop for a flapper dress to wear at her upcoming Halloween day at work. While she changed, I was standing next to the wedding dresses. A couple my size were there, but?I see this white dress with embroidery and beads, princess cap 1/2 sleeves and beautiful bodice. I had to catch myself not to be to obvious.
Later today my wife said We need to do Halloween as Sonny and Cher in reverse roles. Im ready but we need a party to go to I said.
I would so have enjoyed being around a bunch of friends when I dressed as a bride; alas, I was with only one. Your experience must have been wonderful.Quote:

my wife and I have discussed it a few times. If we ever renew I plan to wear a wedding dress. think Giselle from Enchanted. Huge skirt. Huge puff sleeves. My wife wants the same.

Best Halloween ever.
Several years ago my wife and I went on a "cross dresser themed cruise" that was scheduled to include Halloween night.
Our costumes were Bride and Groom, and of course, I was the Bride.
I really enjoyed it as I was in drag the whole cruise.
Found my wedding folder....

Although I don't have an SO to worry about showing, I've always wanted to own my own wedding dress. All of this talk has certainly done nothing to assuage that desire and, since I'm not getting any younger, I decided that now was the time to indulge myself.
Price has always been an issue for me as it can be an awful expensive proposition for something with limited utility. I have found my new go-to website very recently and decided to check out their evening gown/wedding dress collection and holy cow, I've purchased three gowns just this week. All for an average price of $45 including shipping!
I really never thought this was possible!
Here's a picture of the latest score...

That is indeed a lovely dress Erin.
Absolutely gorgeous Erin!!
I've had four Wedding gowns so far and found them to be "So cool"!
Never wantednto wear a wedding dress. Reason is that when my wife and were married , she simply wore a white dress that she owned. We did not have money for a dress. I would never wish to wear what she could not.
It looks to me that Karren is having a great time! Not to mention she is a blushing bride, LOL
It is. I am about to post a few photos of my attempt in the photo section...
Lovely, I’m jealous ♥️
i havent done a whole bridal look, but i wanted to wear a big tulle skirt for the longest time. when i finally stitched one together out of 80 yards of tulle, i immediately regretting it once i put it on.
big dresses look nice but holy hell they are uncomfortable and warm
Erin, that's what it's all about.
Beautiful Erin.
How would my wife react? Her denunciations would know neither end nor limit in their ferocity. She says that she is the woman in this place. To her, a wedding is the most important event in the life of a woman. A wedding gown, as the most important object in that event, is the most beautiful and sacred clothing that a woman will ever wear. No one will ever tread in her special space while she still has the breath in her to defend it.
Please pardon me for being so unclear in my estimate of her reaction.
Anyone want to guess what her reaction was to our only daughter eloping? It was two years before anyone dared to mention a wedding in her presence and figuratively lived to tell about it. We went to a wedding a month ago, twelve years after our daughter eloped, solely to see my sister who is dying of cancer. I could still feel the anger of my wife strongly radiating. My daughter did not dare attend the wedding, though she went with us 500 km just to see my sister. And that, my friends, is a clue as to how my wife would react to my wearing a wedding gown.
Oh yes, it really is!
I think we have all done it or wondered about it. I prefer '50's vintage and bumped into a huge pink taffeta and pink chiffon bridesmaids dress at a thrift stop once, and luckily it actually fit. I was just going to get a regular dress but in looking at the formal rack decided to go the limit. A lot of work getting into all of that, vintage wise with everything from head to toe and from the skin out including foundations and of course hair and makeup. Interesting to wonder the millions of times around that period the millions of women dressed just like that. Then once dolled-up there you are with all that "sensation." I noticed the weight of everything and especially the sound of all that nylon and mostly the sound of the whistling, zipping pink taffeta skirt under the pink nylon chiffon over layer of the dress. For someone with my "condition" a pretty extreme moment. But then the wide skirt catches on everything, knocks over knick-knacks on tables and pretty much gets in the way with everything until you realize all you can do is just spend your time in such a get-up just sitting and looking, or trying to look pretty.
I recommend everyone try it. Would have been pretty intense to have a closet full of old shirt-waist house dresses like that that women, all women wore daily back in the day. A lot of work to keep up that look not to mention having to do all the housework in that stuff!
