Best to say I started before the age of 10. I clearly remember getting foam breast forms in a five and dime store back east around 14 years old.

Best to say I started before the age of 10. I clearly remember getting foam breast forms in a five and dime store back east around 14 years old.
At my school, there was a uniform for sports events that was like a women bathing suit; girls used like that for gimnastic or sports like those and boys should wore a short above it. It's almost unnecesary to say that when i was at home, the curiosity grows in me and i wore just the first piece to see me as the other girls and that was the only clothe that i used in a few years. I was around 7 at this time and by 10, i was looking for opportunities every time that i could.
I didn't have sisters and my mother clothes were not particulary pretty so my chances were small. But now, i can compensate for all those passed years.

I started with pumps at age 7 , then girdles stockings..etc
I am now 55 and enjoy my girl time immensely !!!

I started at 5, asking my mother a dress to disguise into a witch, asking her to paint my nails. My second start was at 7, when a girl friend proposed me to dress up. She explained me there was nothing bad dressing up. It was just a game.
I started around age 10 or 11 and never looked back!!
MY first experiance was at the age of three. I put on my sisters skirt suit, she is only two years older than me. I did not always have an opportunity to dress up and looking back I used to be quite aggravated during these times.
My mom let me wear lipstick and nail polish from time to time starting when I was around three or four. I'm not exactly sure when I started wearing her actual clothes, but I know that by the age of five I was already very, very curious about her heels, stockings and girdles. It may have been a year or two more before I had the size, physical dexterity and stealthiness to actually get into any of her clothes. Certainly by nine I was well into it, and have never really slowed down. I was buying my own heels (and wearing earrings, lipstick and nail polish full time at home) by the time I was twelve.

I really can't remember an exact age. I'm guessing around 8 years old when I firdt tried on my sisters tutu. I loved it! I have known that I am transgender ever since.
I was always fascinated watching my mother dress and do her makeup,she
once told me she dressed me in pink dresses when i was a baby.When i was
about 5 my sister and her friends used to dress me up in their clothes which
i loved and after awhile i begged mum to buy me some girl clothes which she
did and she often took me out dressed as a girl. I dressed as often as possible
until i was 17 the i stopped as i found other interests, For some reason i got the urge again after i got married at 25 and have been doing it ever since,
unfortunatly my wife does not accept it. I just love dressing up it is a
wonderful feeling and to me it is so natural.
I suppose it depends on what you call dressing...
I was probably 5 when I pulled my socks up way high and pretended they were boots.
I wore my babysitters boots to school in the first grade (so what, maybe 6 or 7)?
By 2nd grade I was stuffing my shirt with nerf balls and tying them up like a halter top.
By age 10 I was fully dressing...I started experimenting with makeup at 11.
And by 6th grade (12 years) I dressed every alone moment I had.
Interestingly I dressed way more back then than I do now :(

I was three yrs old. My female cousins always picked me to dress up. My older brother wouldn't do it. Poor me.:heehee:
At age 10 I was drawn into the life by a Playtex panty girdle. I've worn lots of other "sexier" items since then, but girdles still exert a strong pull on my desires.
clearly a very strong urge. so complicated. for me rejection by boys for being a sissy -at least they so regarded me-surely not one of the guys-and the girls being defensive of me-once the only boy invited to a birthday party with about 12 girls-made me identify and bond with them. that has continued a half century. helenr
probably about 8 I would put on my Moms knee highs and try on her heels
Probably around 13 I found an old dress my mother threw out saved it from the burning barrel and went out to a private place and put it on. since then once in a while tried my wifes clothes on but not until about a year ago has the desire been steady and I am 52 now.
8 or 9
Tiff.
Probably about 8 years old. I used to "borrow" Mom's bras, slips, & pantyhose and wear them to bed.
I started at 13 because I was bored at home alone and things just went wild from there. I am 70 now and still dress everyday because to me it's just natural thing to do.:heehee:
I remember playing dressup when I was really young 5 or 6 maybe but I used to put my sisters pantyhose on ove my clothes, i remember the first time i tried it without clothes and a pair of panties I was hooked after that..
i remember getting draged out into the living room and being humiliated in front of the whole family around the age of 8
I started by wearing a bra on a dare when I was 5. Once I saw boobs on my chest I was hooked. It did not take long after that for me to dress fully.
I was 9 or 10 when I started moms panties & bra's. Then PH and a dress
That's pretty much the way it all started for me as well, My mom let me try on her lipstick and nail polish and other makeup items when I would watch her getting ready in the mornings. I was fortunate that I didn't have to borrow her clothes, I got my first dress at age 5. I also dressed full time at home from an early age, although my dad would sometimes make a comment about the way i was dressing, my mother would tell him to leave it alone. She hasn't seen me dressed since I was married (over 30 years now)but has asked discreetly if I still dress, I have shown her pictures of me and my wife together while I'm dressed, She says i'm a pretty lady.Quote:

To make a long story short,when I was little I always watched my mother put her make up on. Sometimes I would put on one of her blouses and skirts(which at the time was too big for me) when she wasn't around
Then in the summer of 1981 when I was 16,I fully dressed femme with the help of my GG Cousin and enjoy it.Dressed about 12 times that summer and stopped fearing it would get back my school.
Finally dressed again in Jan 2008 with the help of my wife and no turning back this time.

it was before eight, i have always just loved a good pair of thigh high stockings.
I was 5 and I can remember it like it was yesterday. How can I remember that 61 years ago? Because I got caught!
My mother's lingerie drawer was the magnet and as most women, she had her drawer organized to a "T" (no pun intended):o At 5 years old of course I couldn't remember how things were laid out and when she opend her drawer the next time, well, she knew someone had been there. Of course, questions arose and my father asked me if I had been playing in mommie's things. The guilt showed all over me when I denied it.
Coming from a very Catholic upbringing I was severely repremanded and THAT's how I can remember it.
A year or so later I was caught again and by the was in 1st or second grade and I was then threatened that they would dress me up in my sister's dress and send me to school like that. At the time it scared me to death.
Little did I know that someday I would voluntarily go out with dresses on as I'm out in public at least once a week nowdays! Ha

I don't know what made me start dressing, but I haven't been able to stop. I'm now 36 years old.

I noted all your responses.
There were 119 (excluded 4 or 5 because i don't know how old ppl are in 9th or 5th grade in US).
The minimun "first CD memoir" age was 2 (!) and max was 53 (congratulations).
I put it on a graph. Green dotted line is average age of first CD encounter (9,76).
Any other comments? Maybe that ppl starting dressing at very young age are more prone to write about it on this board.
Hugs :)
Grade school in the US usually starts at 6years old, so add a year for each grade and your pretty close. You might try a median age instead of a average for the graph.Quote:

I was about five or six when I first tried on my sister's powder blue leotards. I also remember trying my mom's pale green eyeshadow.
I think I started right around the age of 9. I would steal my older sisters clothing when they weren't around and would prance around the house. But it wasn't until college that my dressing truly evolved. I remember going to bars and clubs with all my guy friends, and I would admire all the attractive GG girls, everything from their outfits, shoes, makeup etc.; and I would tell myself that is how I want to look when I'm dressed (I still do). Now at 30, I think I've come a long way, but there is always room for improvement and looking forward to it!
I was about 7 years old and tried on a polka dot tank top dress (white with black dots). I also put on some lipstick and used a brown towel (as a wig) - lol
My first time would have been about 8yrs old.
I have cd since I was about 5 yrs. old! It started out wrapping a blanket around myself to look like a dress, and then would sneek panty hose from
my mom, did not get caught or found out.

I had my awakening (the call of nature and self discovery) at 13. The first times was surprise and elation. From the second time on Aubrey was there running the show. So at 13 I was wearing a bra under my shirt and jacket. The jacket was heavy enough to hide my calling and was the only times I would wear a bra and sometimes nylons. Love how my legs feel in them. Ah! The good old days! :daydreaming:
I have been crossdressing since I was 9 years old (I am 42 now)
It all started with couple of dresses and wearing Mothers high heels, where it will end I dont know, lol
Hi Helen,i started when i was about 12 and i am cannot even remember what started it,i vagualey remember a freind and i trying on his mothers bra and panties on,hey maybe thats where it all started.it has been only over the past seven years though that i have bought female clothing such as shoes,dresses etc,prior to that it was just panties and pantyhose,the things that i could hide.
i was about 5 days old when it happend to me i came home from the hospital as a new born in a dress and my sisters keep it that was it well be 57 years in august
almost the same as lacey, but tried on mom's panties after the catalogues. but was little time for me to due until older, youngest of four. it was my brother that found out and told mom and their wives. i was around 22 at the time and was buying my own and they went looking in my room.:doh:Quote:

My earliest recollection was when I around 2. Coming out of the depression my family was fairly poor. My mom use to dress me in my sisters hand me downs. I remember wearing my sisters tights in the winter and her jackets and boots. I vaguly remember wearing a dress (LIKE THE CARTOON CHARACTOR SMITTY) and her little blouses till I was about 4 or 5.
By this time I guess finances were a little better because I did go to school wearing all boys stuff except for my winter jacket. I've always felt comfortable wearing girls clothes. I use to borrow my sisters clothes whenever I was home alone. When my sister had her friends over they would dress me and we'd play games like hop scotch and jacks.
I was about 12 when I first started going out publicly dressed en femme. I go for walks in the street fully dressed, panties bobbie sox, bra, blouse and skirt with a bandana around my head, (this was a style than) hoping that I would attract some boys. Not for sex just to see if I was accepted as a girl.
Now at 73 I wear male style womans clothing all the time. It is not a sexual desire as more like I would like to be female and would love to live as such.
:hugs:and :X
Mums panties at 7 or 8yo can't for the life of me remember what made me do it, just that I have pretty much done it ever since, I don't think I will stop now
I was eleven when I first tried my Mom and sister's panties.
[SIZE="3"]Reading the replies so far it seems strange to me how many of you started with your mother's / sister's / aunt's etc. underwear. For me, my female relatives' underwear was never an attraction - it was always their dresses and blouses. But we're all different, of course.[/SIZE]
Eh, I guess it depends on your definition. I think I've felt an urge longer than I remember, mostly out of suppression or failure to recognize what was at play, but I remember when I was maybe 7 or so the first time I tried on my sister's high heels. Somehow, we were the same size then.
As to when I first really wanted to dress like a female, some time perhaps when I was 11 to 13... I just remember wanting to tie my shirt up into the faux bra like the girls did at the pool, and I KNEW I did it because I wanted to dress like them. I just wound up kinda stuffing that into a dark corner after my aunt made fun of me. I told her it was just because my bathing suit was wet and I didn't want to get my shirt wet.
Of course, if I had known what those feelings meant at the time, I would've been more forceful about doing what I wanted, and ignoring her jokes, but I felt stupid because I just thought it was something dumb that I wanted to do, not that it was anything deeper...
I am now 62 and I do not ever remember not wearing female cloths. I remember wearing my mothers hose and shoes. One might say that I am hung up on girl cloths. LOL!!
