This is the dress I'm wearing this year. I'm going to two parties, one public, and one private. I have enough room for vairiation that I will be wearing same dress, but it won't be the same costume.

Simply marvelous, Becky!:daydreaming:
This is my second time donning a female costume for Halloween. A few years ago I went as a Playboy Bunny, and this year it's Hannah Montana. I know structurally (build, posture, pose) I'm far from convincing, but I think on the actual outfit I did ok...

Becky you look great, I;m sure you will be the hit of the party.
I don't have a party to go to, however I'm thinking of spending the whole day dressed as Tresa and see what happens.
that is beautifull and im sure you will have fun wearing that ,and can isay the dark hair suits the outfit perfectly,luv jacqui xx:hugs:
Thats one hot costume, Becky and the black hair is awesome on you.
Becky, that is SO cute!
My wife has made it abundantly clear that Kimberly is not welcome at Halloween. :(
Stacye, that dress is really, really cute. I'll bet you'll look wonderful in it. :)
I have a built-in costume: my natural hair looks suspiciously similar to those packaged witch wigs they sell in Halloween shops. :heehee:
Aw, Kimberly. That is so sad and unfair. For what it's worth, I think Kimberly is adorable and would totally invite her to a Halloween party. :hugs:Quote:

Hi Becky,
That's very cute!
Last weekend, I went on a little Halloween shopping spree at a local costume shop. Everything was 40% off! :eek:
I couldn't pass up on that deal so I ended getting 5 different costumes all for a sweet deal that didn't break my wallet. :)

I know I won't be wearing all of them, but I know I'll be wearing at least two. I'm definitely the sexy Candy Striper at a big party on Halloween.
And, I'll be wearing one of the others at my Tri-Ess meeting this coming weekend.
I haven't decided which one I want to wear yet.
Hugs!
Sorry to be a rerun but this was my last years Holloween post. I wanted to tell everyone about my desires for this holloween!
2008 post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God this is our time of year--at least mine! My wife and I hosted a holloween party last year. Although she didnt support or approve, I gathered enough courage to do the Piriate girl thing--suade knee high boots, black pleated skirt, fishnet hose, striped top, big hoop earings, silk scarf and a cute hat. I thought that it what I was wearing would be considered playful until I walked in from the grill and found out my wife told the oher wives that I bought 2 outfits that week! She played it off like I was a profectionest. As soon as I entered the room they wanted me to discribe the other outfits. I resisted and said that I had halloween outfits for 2 more years. Teri, my wife's best freiend, said that since I had already considering keeping them, that said that I liked them more than my current outfit. I was embarrased. My wife went on to dirscribe the business suit I bought--glen plaid suit with pants and a skirt in a soft pattern and the formal dress wth the hammered silk jacket in lilac to the other woman--they all expressed their approval. The woman turned into a mob--demanding that I change into one of the other outfits or they would parade them arround the house--all of the men were down playing darts. I agreed to change into the busienss suit, changing my blouse, hose and heels to complement the suit. I had been with the women so long and they convinced me that it would be just for them that it acutally felt natural. Coming down the stairs to greet them in my second outfit created so much excitement that the men came up from the basement. Here I was in my second outfit of the night and hair and makeup to match--yea everyone noticed. From that point on I iknew that it didnt make any difference to wear pants versus a skirt--I had crossed the line so far that everyone knew that this was not my first time. This year I'm going as a bride--not one of my second choice outfits from last year--might as well jump over the line than step over it!
October 2009!
I got lots of comments after last Holloween throughout the year but the neighborhood was anticipating our Holloween party which has become a neighborhood tradition. My wife asked me how I was going to upstage last years event and I told her that we need to clebrate our anniversity which is in November and we would hit a mile stone this year. She asked, what are you thinking and I explained that I have been crawling thru the local thrift stores looking for a wedding gown! I asked if she wanted to be my bridemade or husband. She choose the husband to help deflect any more neighborhood discussion about my last Holloween appearence. I told her that I would really need her help to be the bride and she just smerked!
I found the most wonderful 80's brides dress with long satin and lace sleaves and a billowing skirt of satin and lace at a local goodwill store. I explained that I scouted at least 3 dresses that would be perfect for me. She asked if I had found her a thrift store tux which made me blush because I never made it to the mens side.
We went last saturday early hoping to not find anyone else that we knew looking for a costume. She helped me with in the changing room to try on two wedding dresses at our first stop. The second dress was a must have! It was so pretty and I wanted everyone at the party to see me in this dress. My wife knew instantly that I was not going to leave this dress behind.
With mine in the car, we actually found a harder time finding her a tux. The good will stores produced nothing so we went to a formal wear company to by her a used tux. She told me that she was so self consious as we entered the store and I told her that she was experiencing the same feelings that I experince every time I walk into a Womans department of a store. I told her to realx--it is holloween--no one cares. She found thie most amazing morning jacket with tails and tuxedo pants! I think she was actually turned on trying on the tux with a ruffle shirt and matching bow tie from the same era as my dress.
So we have spent countless hours talking about the party that we will host and that I will be the bride and be attentive to our guest and she will be the groom and hang with the guys! I cant wait for this years party! I think of it almost every waking minute!
Becky:
I love your outfit! It's a totally different look for you, but it looks fabulous!
Hugs, :hugs:
Anne
very nice outfits Joan. I like those. 40% sounds like a great deal. I know these costumes are expesnsive..
I recently found out the club where I usually go to for halloween is having their halloween on Both Friday and Saturday. I had not planned for this and dont really have 2 costumes. I am considering using last years costume for Friday and this years for Saturday. I dont know for certain that I will get to go both days but I hope so.
I just purchased online a 1920's flappers costume from Frederick's of Hollywood. I am so excited. Now all I need is a date. :o :battingeyelashes:
Thank you Anne! I'd have to admit that it gnaws at me. This is the one time a year where I could actually be "me" in front of everyone and my wife absolutely detests the idea. I even KNOW it's a bad idea because people still look at me sideways after the only other time I did this, several years ago. Even knowing it's a bad idea, and knowing that my wife has tolerated so much from me, I still can't help resenting her attitude on this a bit. What can I say - I've always freely admitted that I'm screwed up in the head . . .Quote:

It turns out school girls apparently can't go over a size 10 but after a little research on the company website, a 2nd trip to the store, an exchange and a bit more money, I found something that does the job quite nicely. Long story short, this is the third time I've worked up the courage to buy something and at long last, I finally have a plaid mini skirt and I can't get enough of it!
:D

I would resent it too if my SO told me what to wear and what not to wear, and wouldn't let me be me. In fact, my last SO DID do that, which is part of why I'm single today. But that's just me.Quote:

Yes, it's a risk, and even if I go back to wearing guy clothing for the next 6-mo+ or so, I expect the 'sideways' looks to occur, and hopefully break the ice (or stir the boiling pot). Hallows is supposed to be a fun be-yourself kind of day. If you can't be yourself on any other day, when /are/ you, really?Quote:

"What can I say - I've always freely admitted that I'm screwed up in the head . . ."
Hey Kimberly, the good news is that about 98% of society is.... :-)
Every Halloween I hope the door of opportunity will open and I can go out dressed, this year may be the year. I am probably going to just hang out with some friends but it just so happens that it stands a very good chance that I will be the only guy in the group. Just me and a bunch of girls, so I thought it would be funny if I surprised them and showed up dressed as a woman. You know, so I can be "one of the girls."
Anyway, I want to get someone to do my makeup. 1. So it will look better then if I did it and 2. so that they won't wonder where I got makeup and where I learned to do it. I thought about maybe going to one of those makeup counters in a department store like MAC I know they will do your makeup but do they also expect you to buy something? Will they be willing to just do my makeup? Does anyone know a place I can go to possibly get my makeup done without having to splurge and buy some?
Furthermore, does anyone have any suggestions for good bra stuffers? I don't want to use my breast forms, that would totally give me away.
If I was going to dress I would dress as a hooker 5" heels and all. If you don't want to wear your breast form try small water ballons. I did before I bought breast forms.and they worked well.:o
For a costume, just plain old balloons filled with air work. If worried about popping bring a spare. For makeup, just call up your local MAC and ask them... maybe if you just walk in and do it in the store front they will help you out. I know if you book an appointment and private room it costs something... but don't expect it for free from anyone....at least give them a very generous tip. Another idea...get one of the girls you are going out with to help with the makeup.
Here's my costume for this year. Not sure if it will be worn to a public party, but it might. Would like to try and talk the wife into going clubbing on Halloween, so I could wear this out. I bought a cute mini petticoat, which really fluffs it out, I need to find some pink heels to match, but if not, I have black ones already.

Jill, I'd also try to get one of the girls you'll be out with to help do the make up. If nothing else that will throw them off a little bit more. Remember that you'll have shaved legs and will walk in high heels fairly well, not to mention how much you'll 'have spent' on your clothes for a one-time costume. As for boobies, just roll up a couple of socks and stuff 'em in. That works fine and you won't worry about popping them if someone gropes (and somebody will!).
You should also expect to get your bra strap snapped in a bit of revenge. My wife still does that and it sucks. Now I understand what the fuss was! :)

On the Makeover at MAC aspect, I had a friend who used to work at the MAC counter at Nordstroms and I had asked her about doing my makeup for halloween if I came in one year and she told me that tons of girls go in there before halloween parties to get makeovers so it really isn't a great time to just do a walk-in, or to schedule an appointment for the places that do complimentary ones if aren't planning on actually buying anything.
Think of it this way, you're basically taking a half hour or so of her time at work when she could be helping customers who could actually be spending some money.
I wanted to go somewhere to have it done because I wanted to surprise all the girls but also because it won't give any of them the opportunity to shoot down the idea or discourage me. If I show up already completely dressed then they can't do that.Quote:

I intend to chalk up the fine details to really getting into my costume.
I would've preferred to post these in the photo section because I spent too much time on these to have it sit in the Halloween thread, but I will be good...
I will be going to a Halloween party this coming Friday and had to test my makeup and costume. I could not get the stupid nails to stick, so I went without them.
Here is me as Elvira:

Maybe I'll be able to improve on this for the party. What do you think?

Will this help?

I really want to go out this year for Halloween dressed. I have a lot of ideas for costumes while dressed, but I'm kinda scared about having facebook pictures posted of me, and people seeing the pictures, especially family types.
Anyone concerned about facebook pics, even though it is Halloween?
I absolutely cannot wait until this velvet skirt arrives! :daydreaming: Also the boots are rather to die for but I might change my mind since they would make me 6'6! :) And the pvc top will give me one thing of each material :D
I actually like it when my gf does that. Maybe I should pretend not and she would do it more ;-)Quote:

Sounds simple, but 2 years ago she relented and let me dress as a woman for a Halloween party. I wore a sexy maroon dress, 4"heels and spent hours getting ready with perfect makeup and glue on nails. I made a very convincing woman but as people realized who I was, there were many comments on how well I pulled off the whole image,TO WELL!!!
Ever since that Halloween I get the "sideways look" as Kimberly stated, some of the people that were there have said that a guy who walks in heels as effortlessly as I did, re-applies his makeup and has feminine gestures must have been practicing a very long time (again with the sideways look).
So my wife has told me that I will NOT dress as a woman this Halloween, she has also heard some comments. Yes I know it's a bad idea to dress again but I kinda resent that I have been told I can't. I loved the attention!!!

I've been going in drab to a weekly singles dance for the last 3 months. I've met some nice ladies but still have the anxiety of outing myself as I get to know them.
SO, for their Halloween dance last night, I waxed/plucked my beard, removed all visible hair south of my chin, trimmed/plucked my eyebrows, painted all 20 nails a bright red. Then a red bubble dress that hid a lot of figure flaws, off-black hose and black 3" wedge sandals. I added some bright red bobby pins and red claw clip to my shoulder-length greying hair. Then packed my evening bag with lipstick, driver's license, car key and cash. Put the big stuff in a tote bag, put on a leather coat and off I went.
I was very well-received by the ladies and the gents. Comments from the ladies included:
"you look just like a woman"
"you remind me of my grandmother"
"you're sexy"
"are those real?"
"you have great legs"
"now you know how us tall gals feel on the dance floor"
"those shoes look so comfy, where did you get them"
Then the standard stuff with the girls: having my breasts felt, legs touched, comparing nail colors, makeup tips, arranging breasts when slow dancing (over/under or in between).
One sister in drab outed herself to me. Several other guys asked where I got the 13W shoes (Avenue). One very drunk guy danced with me for a few seconds. No one hinted at homosexuality.
A lady I've been dancing with a lot for the last month continued to dance with me last night.
After the costume parade, I heard buzz that I was going to finish toward the top. Then I was announced as the winner of the $50 1st prize. I got to blow kisses to the crowd and do my impression of a curtsy.
All in all, a wonderful night. It will be interesting to see how I'm received next week in drab. Maybe they'll have a Mardi Gras dance.
One wonders what to wear for a Halloween Party. Last year at a straight singles club dance, I dressed all in blue, including carrying a blue purse, and went with a woman friend who also wore a skirt. I just wish she could have stopped calling me by my male name when were there!
This year at a trans-club supper, I ventured into more daring ground. I wore a mini-skort with black hose, pink jersey top, atomic raspberrry wig and tall, white go-go boots. But I was in good company. Someone remarked, what a bunch of ****s were were. (Or at least dressed like.)
Now I am thinking of going back to the straight singles club Halloween dance, but this time alone. I hate to cross-dress going as a man, now I have transitioned, but I really don't know what to wear. Any suggestions?
Hey Beth,
I found a Poodle skirt (crinolin and all)and put together all the rest of the outfit right down to the saddle shoes. Don't know if that floats your boat or not, but I plan to have fun with it.
im lookn for anyone knowing of a good site to get a costume from...preferably one that deals with crossdressers since im kinda a big person and normal size costumes dont fit exactly
Locally there a lot of halloween super stores that have a wide variety of sizes.... I bought a nice flapper costume at Walmart... but it's a woman's large..... Think the bigest they had was extra large and I have no clue what size that equates to... A large is probably a 10-12 and an extra large a 14-16?

The problem I have is I'll be all dressed up and no where to go. I am near Las Vegas. Is Nora and her bunch still around? Anyone know of any good parties. I don't drink or really party hard, I just like to dance and listen to good music (Classic rock) and have good conversation and food with friendly people.
Oh, would like to be safe too.
