Your costume is in a cute color. I got mine off ebay too. It has blue and white contrasting pleats. Its the older (pre 2000) style. They used to be pleated and very full which I like. Now if i could find a womans football team to cheer for. YAY TEAM:)
They are so cute. They are so old school, before cheerleading uniforms went to to straighter look. I don't think you'll be able to get these cute outfits. Mostly because Halloween retailers use cheap materials and these outfits are high quality ~$150Quote:

Karren, I love the flapper outfit, the natural hair does the best to compliment the dress.. :)
Hello and good afternoon to all. Tonight My wife and I are going to a concert at a local venue in Northeast Philly and there is also a costume party. My wife is going as Mini Me and I'm making my debut as Farrah tonight and then again tomorrow night. I figured I'd do it tonight and then tomorrow it should easier at the club's party. Wish me luck since its my first time going out dressed femme. I'll post how it went later.Take care and have a great night.
Felicity :) :) :)
A very happy(and a little nervous) girl right now.
Here's my Halloween face.

Since my wife and I got together about 6 years ago, I haven't been doing Halloween en femme. That's changing this year. Saturday night I'm going out as Paris Hilton. Pics will end up being posted in the photo gallery.
I'm seriously trying to find the venue where I can win the most money for a halloween costume. ...at least be able to win.
Well tomorrow is my "big" day. My boss made sure I would be working. She is very supportive of me and looks forward to my dressing on Halloween. This year, instead of just wearing a dress, I am putting on a witches hat and black press-on nails.
I don't know if I should post this here or under Clothing and Accessories, but here goes anyway. Tomorrow I'm going to a halloween party at the home of a very dear friend. I plan on wearing a Dorothy costume that I bought at a rummage sale for ten bucks. The ruby slippers that came with the costume were too small so I found a pair of red shoes at a Goodwill store and painted glitter glue on and voila I have my ruby slippers.
But even more important is getting the hair right. I borrowed a long wig from my friend Gale and tried to make the braided ponytails. No matter what I did, I was unsuccessful and with the party date getting ever closer, I posted an ad on craigslist looking for someone to help. I got a reply from a GG who works at a theatrical costume shop and she offered to fix the wig at no charge. I'm elated that a total stranger would take time away from her job to do a favor for a crossdresser in distress.
She wouldn't even accept a gratuity, so I thanked her and told her I'd send her a picture of me in full Dorothy costume. I guess acceptance comes when we least expect it. :)
Yeah! There are nice people everywhere... You just have to find them!
I had gone to a Halloween party last Friday and just got the pictures back. This is a party that one of the gals at work throws with her family. They pick a theme amongst themselves and rent a barn! This year they had chosen "Alice in Wonderland" for their family. So the gal from work was the Queen of Hearts and her boyfriend was the King of Spades. So here she is with me as Elvira:

Here's a whole bunch of people from work. A Saloon Girl, Dr. Phil and his wife, Elvira (me), a Nerd, Queen of Hearts and King of Spades. There were about 100 people at the party. Inspector Gadget got the first prize (not shown, but super cute), the Nerd got second and I got third!

Here's another cool costume idea, comic strip girl:

On Thursday night, my CD SO went out in public to a costume party with me en femme for the first time. I know some people have mixed views about going out en femme on Halloween, but hey...we had a TON of fun. :D
I got the undies on and later my pant suit since i bowl at 10am.
I'm even have my tight control panty to hole up the hose!
Should i wear socks to hide the hose? :-) Nope!
Happy halloween evryone I hope your day is filled with lots of joy and treats

All you ladies, go out tonight and have a good, safe night. Next Saturday I will join you in the Femme de Frolic. Tonight I have to don Mr Todd, anyone still need a shave?
Happy Halloween!!!
I guess I have to be the one who is the sad one on this thread. I look at Halloween with bittersweet and sad memories, for I have never really had a great Halloween experience.
As a child I recall some of the neighbourhood boys my age coming around dressed as girls. I recall being so very envious. It became so very painful after my mum found out that I crossdressing as a teen and abused me over it, for out of one side of her mouth she be saying how wicked I was for crossdressing, yet out the other side would be telling these youngsters how cute they were dressed as girls.
I recall how at age 14, I attended a Boy Scout Halloween party. I had to go as a cowboy. But several boys went as Girls Scouts or Brownies. I recall that one of my fellow scouts who was dressed as a Girl Scout was wearing a training bra. He was super proud of it and gave us all peeks at it. He made special mention of the fact that his mom bought it especially for him. I was filled with envy. Why couldn't I be so lucky. I remember going home and crying that night not able to reconcile why some moms could be so understanding.
I recall attending a Halloween Dance at age 27 sponsored by the young adults group at Catholic church I was attending. I was living with my cousin and his wife in Texas. I went as Madonna as she appeared in Desperately Seeking Susan. It was a mostly happy night. There was a girl from another church there who came dressed as a guy, in a suit and tie. Don't ask me how I know, but she was wearing men's underwear too -- a particular turn on to me. I of course was wearing panties :). This girl and I danced all night. It was great. I got her phone number in the hopes of dating her. I was on cloud 9. A week later, I was accused by my cousin and my mom of being gay because I went to the party dressed as a girl. I was so depressed after that, so hurt, I never did get the courage to call the girl, and I began the slow downward spiral into alcoholism. I even stopped going to church, because I was filled with shame.
Ten years later, I attended a Halloween party put on by the CD group I belonged to. Again, I tried to rekindle the old happiness. I went as Madonna again. The party was held at a local gay bar. I recall getting yelled at by one of the GGs there for using the ladies room. I recall some of sister CDers there openly flirting with some of the guys there in front of their wives. That was enough to make me feel that I didn't belong.
Sorry to be so sad and depressing about things, but Halloween stirs up more sad memories for me than happy ones. My wife and I had both planned dressing up to greet the kids that may come around tonite, but we have other commitments that mean we won't even be home. We planned the same thing last year, but similar circumstances said no. Maybe next year, I can finally feel some happiness on this day.
May your Halloween be a fun one.

Tonight I'm going out for the first time en femme to Freaknight 13 in Seattle! I'm going as a sexy foreign exchange student (see avatar).
I met a girlfriend who is doing my make up and hair!
I cant wait! Wish me luck!

[SIZE=4]Okay, so I was part of the group of girls with Allie at Oaklawn but I missed out on the hotel group pics since I was fashionably late, as always..:eek::D besides, i'm a bit on the shy side so no crazy or flirtatous pics.. sorry.. have to work on that though.. course after a few martinis, i was gabbing ninety miles a minute..:D [/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]anyway, it was a great evening with some very nice people.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]I took this before I made the drive out.. not a real character of a costume, but couldn't get the cute bowties on.. would have added a nice touch since they matched the gloves (forgot to put them on for the pic) and hose.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]Hugs,[/SIZE]
OK getting ready to go out with the wife, just to dinner and a movie but "dressed for Halloween"!
Red lace bra, matching Thong, sheer black pantyhose, 3" strap heels, black skirt & "jacket" over red lace blouse, fully made up with necklace/ear rings/nail polish (fingers & toes). <hope to get a photo here in a few>
Here's my costume this year, inspired by the cute receptionist in The Office, all that's required is an orange skirt, a black sweater and tights, a Halloween scarf, some cat ears and black eyeliner for the nose and whiskers:
http://p1.hotornot.com/talls/HZ/KM/G...ESERRJSWDL.jpg
I belive I do a pretty good job passing. When I go out selom do I get long looks or stares of what the H#$! is that, infact, if I get looks it's usualy somone oggling me. I'd say on a normal day, I only get read once or twice. Sometise a little more than that, but not often.
I don't know, maybe (I really don't think so) I got sloppy knowing that today being Holoween, porvided me a safety net... Or... Maybe (and I'm guesing this is it) with today being Holoween, people are just on the lookout for such things. You know a day to expect the unexpected?
I had on a denum bibs skirt/dress whatever it is, with a lepard print pesant top under it. Then I had a fo-leather long jacket on over that. My heels were ony 3 inch. No outlandish jewlry either. Just 1 ring, and a pair of earings (studs)
This is the outfit I wore to the Glamour Boutique Red Dress Halloween Bash in Vegas last weekend. 75 red dresses - lots of photos on myspace Just Me.
Had a great time.
For a long time, i had considered going out dressed tonight. But, I had a toothache, for weeks, and finally got into a dental clinic, today! And, I am having the worst back pain of my life. Could it be from wearing those high heels, when dressed?! As a kid, i loved Halloween! As i get older, I find it, like so much else, jaded. I really don't want anything to do with Halloween, other than it takes less guts to dress and go out then, and there's less hard judging, if read. I was in too much pain, also. I did last year, alone, and did fine. But, all the ghosts, witches, gouls, etc, I don't dig anymore, though, i used to, a lot.
I'm sorry to hear about your pains friend, hope all is well soon.
Yeah, I decide not to go because I wish to do only seriously y'know? That and I was doing a couple of research papers...all right, I have no excuse lol. After all of the initial excitement, when the time comes there is much procrastination to deal with.
So today my SO and I went to a local anime convention, there were a lot of us there. More than usual. The crowd was younger, they call it crossplay. I guess it makes things easier for mom and dad to take.
I saw about 40 FTM and 15 MTF. I am sure there were more of us lurking about.
Halfway thru the evening my SO suggested that I go and change into something femme. I declined, next time.
I hope tonight went well for all of you!!
My first wig isn't working out too well, since it came out of the package already very messy but I certainly look a lot less ridiculous than when I was previously, dressed in this school girl outfit while sporting a buzz cut! I like my limited makeup a lot more too, especially with how my cheeks get flushed while drinking.
I'm at my own party where only Agnieszka is invited, so it's going well.
Well, I dressed as a vampire and had a blast here in Vegas... saw dozens of crossdressers of all types and found Waldo (of "Where's Waldo?") :heehee:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53...ares/Angel.jpg"And you are?" the MC asked, mike extended.
I smiled and in my coy little voice said, "I'm an angel . . . "
The audience laughed.
"An Angel with a whip," he said, "That's a new one."
Halloween has come and gone and I hope everyone had a great time! Across the CD world there must have been a veritable blizzard of skirts, tops, makeup, and heels being tossed in the air and sorted through. Probably caused a wobble in the planets' rotatiom.
Now it's time for sheer exhaustion and tired feet and dreams of future crossdressing plans.
My spouse and I went to an intimate club in Hollywood to enjoy the wonderful music of a group named "The Four Friends."
I was supposed to be a whip carrying She Devil in a leather skirt, but accidentially forgot my sequined horns barrette on my dressing table. Don't you just hate when that happens?
It wasn't easy to get to the club. The streets of Hollywood were packed with costumed revelers, even though it was a long, long way to the "official" West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval. Traffic was jammed.
And parking at the club wasn't easy either. I dropped my spouse and our GG friend off at the door and ended up parking a couple of long blocks away on a dark and lonely side street.
Creepy enough for a woman alone, but made worse by the long walk in 5" super stilettoes. I call them "super stilettoes" because the heels are 1/4 the size of the tiny little spike that a normal pair of stilettoes balance on.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53...cares/Shoe.jpg
What a great chance to practice walking on some of Hollywood's best broken sidewalks. It was wonderful to finally arrive at the club!
The audience was filled with costumed revelers, the show was excellent, and we all had a great time.
Then the three of us walked back to the car together and we headed home.
I hope everyone's evening was as enjoyable as my own.
Hugs,
Persephone.
Was going to dress, but the party I was going to was also attended by my son's friends and my daughter. If I'm going to dress I want to look my best and I didn't feel that would be right.
As it turned out my stuff got there, my daughter found my wig (went as Alice in wonderland) and my daughter dressed my son in drag (sort of) since he couldn't find a costume he liked. Me I was Ozzie Osborne so at least I did wear a wig, liner and black nail polish. Oh well, at least now I go out as Nikki at other times so I don't feel so bad.
I had a pretty good Hallows, all things considered. :)
Spent the day dressed casually, jeans and a nice layered top combo, etc. out and about the town. You could say I chose to take on the world, no holds barred, and came out without any scratches this time. Hit the stores, even stopped into my work for a scarce moment but didn't really acknowledge anyone (they were all busy), but bumped into a few people that had not seen me dressed before, and they were great to talk to!
By the time Trick or treat time came around, I had changed into my costume, and again was ready to walk without fear.. AND my parents came down from NH to go treating with my son and I - this was the first time my parents would see me dressed! (albeit in costume)... but again, went off pretty well - I think my father was taken aback, but seemed to just let me be me.
Two parties later and SO MANY friends to talk to, I made it home sober and sadly shed everything and went to sleep..
Ultraviolet did her best to make a good appearance though. :D
I took the chance last night and dressed for halloween, sorry no pictures. My fiance' was gone all day so when she came home, she found me completely made over. She wasn't very excepting especially the fact that I had pierced my ears. We went out to a party and many of my friends said that they thought I looked like one ugly girl. My fiance' told me that she would have been more excepting of my costume if I wasn't her fiance. From this experience, I have the feeling that she will never except my crossdressing. Anybody have some advice?
If you love her move on with the CDing and keep it to your self
Summer
Glad you had a good night. Ultra violet is very cute. Is she a comic book character or your own creation/alter ego?Quote:

My wife Marla and I went to the River City Gems Halloween Party. 42 of us at the house of a member. We listened to Halloween pop songs, danced, played pool, had a tasty hot "goulash" dinner, and afterward everyone played a Halloween Triva Quiz. It was fun! Here's a couple of pics of me and my zombie wife!
Halloween was fun. After taking the kids trick or treating we hit a couple stores in town.
i had a great Halloween!! i went to friends house where she did my makeup although she was trying not to laugh while i was in costume as it was the first time shes seen me en femme. left her house and picked up a friend to go back to the girl's house who did my makeup as she was having a party. anyways, before we went to the party, i had to get gas in my car. i go inside to pre-pay and the guy behind the counter gives a little grin meanwhile the customers where all looking me u and down....lol. i pumped the gas (it was cold as hell out!) ad then headed to the party. got there and all the guys were giving me respect for wearing a dress because they said they couldnt do it..lol. all the girls were envious because they thought my costume was cute and told me i pulled it off so good because of being skinny. some of em said i even looked better than they did....lol. anyways, heres a pic of me at the party in my costume:

Not for me this year. :-(
had to work sat and sunday, start time of 1:am.
.
After reading this thread yesterday I decided that I had been missing out on a great opportunity. I've gotten my look to where I sorta pass so I might as well go for it. Told wife after kids were done with trick or treating I was gonna dress and go shopping. She was ok with it. :eek: First time I tried going out in public with her knowledge other than a walk in the neighborhood.
Knee length skirt, red sweater, black tights (should have worn reg. pantyhose being H'ween), 3" pumps. Went to a couple stores which were about to close so I didn't go in. Went to Meijer (24 hr.) walked in bought some lipstick, some flowers for my fantastic wife, looked at some skirts and dresses and left.
Doesn't sound like much but this was my first long time relaxed shopping experience. WOW was it great.
Thanks to everyone here for sharing their experiences giving me the courage to do this. Next H'ween is gonna be awesome!! :love::D

I went to a local rock club near where I live but I made it a little late for the costume contest. Fortunately I wasn't the only CD'er there. I got a some great compliments, too!

This year, I was determined to have a GREAT Halloween, with the day falling on Saturday, and I really did. as everyone knows, it all starts with preparation. I looked on E-Bay for different costumes and decided to be a Southern Belle. Bidding on dresses became a lesson in not giving up. I finally did get the red dress that would help make my day very special.
On Friday after work, I stopped by a nail salon and sat and had acrylic nails put on. I asked for the most feminine nails they could do. The gal looked at me and I said it was for a costume for tomorrow. They did the job and painted them a bright dark pink to match my dress. That night, I went out to the drug store with my new nails and had fun with the cashier. She even said she would like to have nails like mine. Then off to get supper, again, the cashier asked, but he did not see the humor in this.
On Saturday the fun begins. I get cleaned up and make sure bu whole body is clean from the neck down. Then change into a nice skirt and top. My wife helps me with my makeup and jewelry for the day. we get done about 11:30 and she says she still needs to get candy for tonight. I said I would go for her and she allows me to go out. This is what I looked like. http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...1017713021This is just a lot of fun going to the grocery store in fem mode. I made it there Ok and got to the parking lot and did not even wait in the car. Got out and walked to the store and picked up a cart and started shopping just like the others there. I finished and the hardest part there was waiting in line. When it was my turn, the cashier said Thanks Hun and that maid my day. There were second glances and the young girls did not know what to think, but no one was disrespectful. I returned home and all the SO could say is did you get any bread! It was not on the list.http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...1&d=1017713021
We had lunch and took a nap. It was now time to change into my costume for the evening. I freshened up my makeup and then dressed in my costume. My hair was perfect and with my nails http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1017713021and the makeup, I think the look was perfect. http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...1&d=1017713021
I handed out candy all evening until there were no more kids, Some of the parents did not know what to say, some of the older kids had fun, but the older girls gave compliments on my dress and nails. Then we
went to a friends house to have a couple of beers and watch the last of the kids do the candy thing. When we arrived, my friend did not know what to think. I had a lot of fun there. Whenever the girls would say something, I would mention how hard it was to do thing. I got into their pictures and most did not know until I spoke. I will have to work on that. We had fun there and my friend had a hard time looking at me with out laughing. Just a GREAT time. After we left, she sent me a text saying "I was very impressed!" That alone made my whole weekend.
Today I had to cut off my nails and take the polish off. I still need to try and get the acrylic off, but that might happen later.
All in all, a FANTASTIC weekend. I now have to start thinking about next year!http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...1&d=1017713021
Gave me the chance 2 dress for the first time!
Me and my Girlfreind got dressed up and took her little sister around the town. Was Great 2 be fem'd up and out side... although the heels i brought for it didnt fit and hurt my feet:)
heres a picture of me before hand... what do u gals think of my first outing oufit?
Keep it simple, I was a BIG HIT at Lake Havasu street party, went to a local bar that had lots of party goers.
The women loved my outfit, lots of "macho" guys enjoyed it also
That is my Neigbor in the bottom photo.
I am not talking about what the Trick or Treaters wore, but what you wore to hand out candy!
Unfortunately I can only tell you what I intended to wear! I had to usher at my Church Saturday evening, and only got back home in time to answer my front door for some trick or treaters. fo the next hour plus it was a constant stream, so I did not have time to change clothes.
What I had planned to wear, instead of my usual Drab clothes, was my Hooters waitress outfit. For those who are not familiar with the Hooters chain, the waitresses wear shiny suntan tights, high heeled shoes, bright orange short shorts, and white tank tops with the words Hooters emblazoned just their own breasts. Of course they all have large breasts!!
I could not obtain a Hooters tank top, so was going to use a plain tight fitting white tank top. I have natural 40B's and with push up pads they will stand out pretty nice. I was able to obtain a pair of the shorts that Hooters uses and also the shiny tights, which BTW I love! I have them in both suntan and black!! I was also planning on wearing my black 2" heeled boots. I know, I should be wearing higher heels, but remember I am a 77 y/o CD!! Balance is not that great!
Anyway, I want to know if anybody else dressed up, or down, to hand out candy. And do you think I should try to wear that outfit next year? I actually did think about going out to the local Hooters for dinner on Saturday. It was Halloween!! BTW, I did put it on just to satisfy myself that I could!! Wish I had taken a picture!
My thanks for all the members who have shown us their Halloween costumes...I am impressed.
Looks good on you. Glad you enjoyed yourself
Super Cute!
I guess I'm the old poop! Since I dress almost every day I don't dress up on Halloween. :heehee:
