For me, it was heels. I was 9 the first time I put on a pair of heels that fit. To this day, I am a shoe horse. I love them. My shoes are the last thing I put on when dressing. It completes the outfit for me.

pantyhose, although I almost never wear them anymore.
For me it was pantyhose for some reason. That quickly led to other "girl" items. The rest is history. Pantyhose basically turned me into a girl.....
Bras were my gateway. My first love.
Panties were the "gateway" garment for me, and I dare say it was for many CDs. I emphasize gateway. Yes, panties opened up the feelings, the possibilities, the first sense of the girl inside. And for most of my life, panties (or underdressing) remained my primary means of supporting my desire to wear women's clothing.
But the clincher for me was FIRST DRESS. The day I listened to that first little black dress calling my name from the clearance rack, was the day that changed everything. I'd been gradually and almost unconsciously undergoing a "feminization" of myself. I was wearing womens panties almost exclusively under male garb. I was growing out my hair; played with nail polish. Then one day it struck. The urge to buy a dress unto myself. It was impulsive.
When I took it home and donned it, even without a bra or padding or anything, I was sold. This was an expansion of my world that required exploring.
I don't know why, Ilene, but of all the stories you've told and of all the lovely comments I've seen you make on this board, that one brought me to tears. So many freedom songs in this thread, and I started it on a lark and to confess my obsession. I love you ladies!!!

When I was very young (maybe 7 or 8) it was a dress. However, the biggest thing was when I was about 14 and I tried on my sister's pantyhose. I had an immediate "reaction" and I have been hooked since.
Hose and heels were my first interests (followed closely by floral skirts and dresses.)
Boobs and everything that goes with them... bras, smooth chest, cleavage... you name it... somewhat ironically not big boobs.
panties bras and heels always wanted boobs big ones
Panties and hose ... they go hand in hand for me
What was your one thing.......?
Curly from City Slickers wants to know.
my gateway items would have been when I was around 8 years old. I fell for a pair of girls sneakers, still do LOL. But more to the point of dressing were workout outfits in the early 80's, you know the ones we all saw on TV i.e. the 20 Minute Workout and Jane Fonda. But now the clincher for me was and still is jeans or anything else denim. I love the way they hug my legs and hang low on my hips and shape my butt. :daydreaming: Now I feel a shopping trip coming on, maybe to American Eagle :battingeyelashes:
But really now I love it all!!!
Pantyhose for me. I was young. For the longest time it was all I would wear. Didnt wear any other items until my early 20s. To this day though a nice pair of hosiery is my fav thing to wear. I dont get dolled up without it!
pantyhose for me too. Still prefer them over thigh high's.
My mom's dark red lipstick and one of her dresses. Enough said.... :heehee:
Ever since hitting puberty and taking interest in girls, I have always liked when they wore skirts and pantyhose or tights. Naturally, those were the first items in my exgirlfriend's wardrobe I asked if I could try on. They've become my go-to bottoms ever since :)
Definitely pantyhose for me. Hosiery was always something that got me, and why must be so far back I can't remember (and I've got a pretty good memory). Of course, wearing a slip over pantyhose was pretty spectacular, and still is.
Pantyhose was what got me started. I prefer stockings now though.
I started playing with my moms lingerie then my sisters panties and bra, but the thing that trigers me more was always how my butt looks with panties, with the arrival of thongs was the crown, men get crazy just watching my ass in thong...
A girls swimsuit for me. Then it was my sisters' bras, panties and so forth.
For me everything about a woman. I grew up in an environment where the miniskirt was worn by all of the ladies. Legs, boobs and hair and the makeup was exotic back then. Mesmerizing. But the first thing, I bought was thigh highs yep my oh my they were so nice. Then panties and skirts then tops and shoes goodness gracious, yeah it is nice to be a girl.
It was skirts. Loved wearing a mini skirt, but nowadays, pencil skirts have become my favorite piece of crossdressing.
Heels without a doubt were what broke down my barriers and released my feminine self, I've made a previous post about the discussion I had with my SO and then going off to buy some heels.
The rest followed on from there over time, heels look better with a nice dress or skirt and they look better with makeup and nice hair..........:daydreaming:
No question for me--it's bras with breastforms!
Having my ears pierced is the thing for me. Ear piercing is not something you can take off. It is like your making a commitment to being feminine.
Try and wear panties everyday and in winter can get away with a bralette if your wearing a jumper to work
The mirror.
I shower and shave and then dress a piece at a time.
And then . . . my makeup.
And then . . . my wig
And then . . . I look in the mirror!
But not just any old mirror. A 3-sided heel-to-top of wig mirror with great lighting.
For me it's bras. I have a nice collection of them now.
After that it's heels. I only have a few pairs of them, but I have difficulty finding them in my size.
I have always been a fan of pantyhose and heels, but the day I put on makeup and a wig...WHOA!!!
Everything changed when I saw that girl in the mirror and it was me!
Thinking on it, see myself with a nice wig and make up makes me feel like a real woman. I can be naked or in pijamas or very well dressed but the make up even makes me feel and look younger and sexy...
I have 2 :
women's one piece swimsuits and shapewear.
This is really a great and fun thread! For me, it was girls one piece swim suits. Either my sisters or one of her friends...we would hit the public swim pool just up the street for the afternoon and then home. Many times, my sisters friend would spend the night or the weekend. There seemed to always be swimsuits hanging in the laundry room in the back part of the house and I took advantage of the time whenever I could to wear one of them..usually her friends just because that seemed more daring and dangerous..lol. I always replaced it back hanging up because I sure didn't want to get caught and have them think I was stealing it. To this day I still love the woman's swimdresses and swimsuits. I have a accumulated a couple closets full of beautiful swims of every style..vintage, etc. I wear them year round inside and outside my home and love every minute of it. Kinda silly I know...
I've always loved makeup and lingerie, but the 2 things that really make me feel special are my breast forms and my corsets. I just love enhancing my shape with them to make me look and feel more feminine. Oh, I'll add my gaffs as a third item!
Isn't it amazing how so many of us have similar triggers! I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing with M2F, but reading similar experiences from so many of us really makes me think that there might be a method being played out within me :confused:.
Many great stories from you ladies, and unsurprisingly, mine have also been mentioned. I did a purge once, but seeing a pair of killer heels some time afterwards brought me back! ( See Jaylyn's avatar. Very similar to that. ).
I am fond of pretty much everything that has been mentioned, but for me, all of it was pre-dated by long fingernails.
Here's a little story I'm reminded of: At the school I went to between the ages of about 10 to 13, long fingernails somehow came into fashion. So many of the girls grew out their nails, and many boys had a long nail on either or both of their little fingers. Some boys grew out all of their nails. Every nail I attempted to grow ALWAYS turned into a hang-nail before it could gain any sort of notoriety. I only wanted one! :cry: . I knew that five for five was four-and-a-half bridges too far, and ten was only going to happen in my dreams :sad:.
But there's a happy ending, girls! :) . About two years after I moved onto my next school, more through neglect than nurturing, I noticed all five nails on my left hand in surprisingly stable condition. I didn't get my hopes up; I was expecting hang-nails galore. But not so! At this school, long fingernails wasn't a thing for either the boys or girls; so I hid mine as much as possible from all except one other classmate. He grew his, too. I went through multiple cycles of long, short, long with all five nails of my left hand!!!
You shall go to the ball! :fairy3:
But I got exposed. Just before the lesson started one day, as I was talking to a friend beside me, my guard was down and I gestured with raised left arm and spread fingers. ( And I remember exactly what I was demonstrating, too! ). Next thing I heard was a girl on the adjacent table: "Wow! Look at his nails!" I quickly realised and clenched to fist, severely bending but luckily not breaking the little-finger nail in the process. ( There was once a time when not only that nail would have broken, but the other four would have had sympathy breaks as well ). I refused all of the girls-on-said-table's requests to show them, until a stronger boy than me in the class came over, grabbed my hand, interlocked his fingers between mine and levereged all my fingers back revealing my nails.
"Wow! I'm jealous!", "I wish I could grow nails like that!," from the girls' table.
"They're longer than my mum's nails," from the boy. "I'll get some scissors," joked his friend.
It felt amazing - our hands together, the way they looked, the comments...
The most recent time I liked my nails was in 2013. They grew to around medium length while I had approx two months away from work. Again, they started, I noticed, I nurtured. I no longer desire long nails for myself; mainly because they wouldn't survive real life, but I love seeing them on others :lovestruck:.
No doubt it was pantyhose for me. Then heels.
That are the only two clothing items I already wore. So much more to explore, so much more to love!
Silky nightgown. My first wife asked me one night if I wanted to wear her gown - she picked up on how much I enjoyed the feel of her skin through the silky nylon. My first and last thing actually - I still wear only nightgowns, slips and other silky lingerie.
Pantyhose and high heels
Me too! Still my favorite things!Quote:

Lingerie... has to be lingerie. Started with my moms then my aunts. She had a great collection! My favourites were her teddy's. Still have a thing for a satin teddy that is form fitting with a 3 snap crotch. A close second are stiletto heels. :D
Taste of lipstick, smell of the makeup and sotfness of satin and nylon
Me its stockings and garter belts and bras WOW!
Tights. I found a pair in my nans draw and kept thinking about them, ending up trying them and the rest is history a part time woman was born
Pantyhose were always my first love, tried them for the first time when I was about 14. Added heels a year or 2 later and they're still a close second but I love all the clothes and makeup, etc.
Pantyhose and 5 inch pumps
My mom had some 90's high heeled wedge sandals and after i saw some cute girls at school wearing these cute looking shoes for some reason I just really wanted to try them. So when I got home one day and I was alone I saw my mom's heels out in the open and tried them on. I thought they felt extremely good and sexy. I would say that was the day I really started crossdressing. Since the then I just added more to the ensemble, but heels will always be my first love :battingeyelashes:
Thongs and g-strings for me. Out of curiosity, I tried on a sexy blue satin and lace thong of my wife's. I loved the feel of the material on my giblets. I don't know why, but the thin strip of fabric in the back just set me on fire. There was really no turning back from there. After that, probably makeup, especially lip gloss and lipstick. To me, there is almost nothing sexier than watching a woman apply lipstick or lip gloss. So when I did it for the first time I was giddy.
Heels...Have aprox 30 pairs. but nylon nylon nylon for me. Also slips, girdles,gaterbelts,panties, and did I mention nylon?
Nothing quite like the feel of sheer hose on smooth legs for me, but anything as long as it's soft, silky, frilly and lacy.
Wet look one piece swimsuits and pantyhose
