And if so, how did your SO, wife, friend think of that?
I can only dream.
Hasn't happened .... yet.
Yes I have. it was my now ex-wife. The occasion was the very first time I was ever going out in public. She was kind of like a mother would be in helping pick out the right outfit, jewelry, shoes, wig etc. She was excited for me even though I was going out of town with another CD friend and his wife. My wife could not make it to this scary yet exciting event, but she enjoyed the preparation all the same. I did my own makeup since she said I was better at it then her. But boy, did she fuss over that wig! It never looked as good as she made it look.
Not really. When I was with a GG we usually had better things to do.:heehee: I doubt I would ever do it anyway, as my style is totally my own.:)
Yes, by two GG's (at different times), my ex did it once and a very close friend surprised me and we had a terrific time.
Only once and not completely.
It was some time ago and my spouse and I were going to a Halloween party. She picked out my costume, I dressed myself and then she did my makeup and hair. It was fun, but I actually prefer doing my own hair and makeup. Guess that's just part of being me.
a girlfriend of mine did it 2 times. Was a wonderful experience
My Wife has done in the past,but now i also prefer to do it myself and admire my own work :)

Yes and it was wonderful. A girl friend of mine decided she wanted me to be a French Maid for Halloween so she got me all dressed up and did the make up and then had me walk around the neighborhood with her. After we got home it was also wonderful, as it apparently also excited her. She still has the pictures and enjoys looking at them. I wish I had gotten a set too. Might have to do it again.
My SO is my fashion consultant, so you can say, everytime I dress she does that. Prior to me comming out as cd she did help me dress for Halloween two years in a row. The reacion was mostly positive, until liquid courage helped me come out. Hinge went rapidly down hill from there. Time has healed those wounds mostly.
In college I was chosen to be a female like Vanna White in a greek week skit. One of my sorority sisters, who I really wanted as a girlfriend, helped me with a mini dress, wig, girdle (all girls had them then) and makeup. She and another sister got me dressed up in the girls dorm and had me practice walking for them. I got pretty good with throwing my hips forward. At one point, one of them sneaked up behind me and sprayed me with perfume. It was as near perfect to a fantasy of mine as I could ever have wished for!!
I just wish I had more than one grainy b+w photo of it all!!

It took 30 years before I made it back into a dress in public. What a waste!!:Angry3:
no But wouldn't it be fun
Same with me, it was great at the time because I needed all the help I could get, and I did learn some great pointers on make up.Quote:

I've always thot that would be SO COOL! To play "dress up", with a GG!:D
Until I received offers to do so, from a few GGs on line.:straightface:
Then, I actually felt kreeped out by thots of strangers dressing me!:eek:
I realize now, it would have to be a GG I knew, and was probably intimate with!:o
One of my fantasies!
I have and it was my GF at the time. My son had told her I dressed and she wanted to see. After showing her she decided to redress me and do my makeup. After having two unaccepting wives, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Shes not supportive most of the year so I was floored when she suggested that I go to a local pub party as Mae West. She went in a tux.
She get a beaded gown from a second hand shop as I take an 18. A week before the party, she had me do a full shave, a first. The day of the party, she started by glueing on nails and then painting them and my toes a deep red. Hose and heels followed and the dress had a corset typ top so i slipped into that and she stuffed the top. She had me practice in the heels and about 6pm, the doorbell rang. It was her friend from the salon. She had a great blonde wig and did my makeup, including false eyelashes, another first.
Went to the party and had a great time, chatted it up with friends and a few women complimented me on going all the way. If they only knew this was a dream come true. Hasnt haappened since but October is around the corner.
Every year we do the UnQueenly Pageant I have a GG attendant that is responsible for my appearance, so they have to dress me and do my make-up. ;) (My avatar picture is from the competition 2 years ago).
The UnQueenly Pageant is basically a rennie drag show. We hold it in the camp grounds at a renaissance festival and there are anywhere from 4 to 10 contestants. I won first runner-up my first year competing. LOL have not won the tiara yet, but then again, if and when I do win the tiara, that means I cannot compete the following year except to "pass on the crown", and where's the fun in that for one of US girls?
Kandis:love::rose2:
The way I look is totally my fault.
For the first four or fives years of my life.... my mom did. Does that count?:heehee:
Now what was the situation where strangers wanted to dress you?Quote:

Then the night before she was about to leave on an overnight trip, she handed me a pair of really silky pantyhose and said "These are for you." I was surprised, but thanked her. She then asked "Aren't you going to put them on?" Not wanting to cause a scene before she left, I replied "I don't think I should since you'll be leaving tomorrow." She said it was okay, and that she wanted to see me in them. Nervously, I put them on. Next I knew, my wife was helping me into a black dress and having me step into a pair of heels. She found a wig from an old costume and placed it on my head and then did my makeup. I was in a daze the whole time, wondering if this was a dream or real. When she was done, she had me look in the mirror and asked how I felt. I tried to be honest and said "It looks great, but how do you feel?" She paused to think and then said "I needed to see what you looked like all dressed up, and now that I have, I'm okay with it." She wouldn't let me kiss or cuddle her while I was dressed like that, but it was nice to be around her dressed.
The second time, my wife helped me with a Christina Aguilera costume for Halloween. We bought some heels, fishnet tights and fingerless gloves together. She then bought a stretchy top, miniskirt, belt, hat and necklace for me. She also got my wig to look like Christina's hair when it was blond with black streaks. On the night of the party she helped me get dressed and did my makeup. The look was basically "color-blind hooker." It was fantastic. The costume was a big hit, and many of our friends still talk about it to this day. There's a pic in one of my profile albums if you're curious.
My wife has only seen me dressed about a handful of times since these two occasions. She's supportive, but prefers not to directly participate in this part of my life. However, both of those nights will always hold special memories for me.
Yes, it would be great fun. Where do I get in line? :)Quote:

my wife dressed me up 2x for halloween. both were amazing. had a wig the second time and thought i passed just a little. i shaved my legs both times, and got some strange attention from guys that i knew. one kept wanting to put his hand on my leg (bare legs the first time), and i'm not so sure it was all a joke. the second time i wore black hose, and the host of the party kept commenting. helps me understand the female experience a bit.
probably won't ever happen again. after the last halloween, i think my wife realized i enjoyed it too much and said never again. who knows, maybe in another 5-10 years she'll soften. ;-)
sorry for so much detail! just fun to reminisce.
ps -- and the one that probably started it all -- my sister dressed me up in her clothes when i was about 6. : )
No problem on the lengthy post.:)
Once, before I knew I was a crossdresser. Actually before I even knew what a crossdresser was.
Back in the 1970's, my wife and I would try for really creative Halloween costumes. She was once a well known local building. Once I collected a couple hundred political buttons and went as "lost causes." One year I announced that I wanted to be Renee Richards. For those of you not yet of retirement age, she was a physician and semi-pro tennis player who had transitioned, complete with SRS. She made news because she wanted to compete in women's tennis, and many of the women thought she had an unfair advantage.
Anyway, my wife thought it was a great idea. She sewed a tennis dress for me and bought a bra. We borrowed some tennis panties and a wig from a family friend. On the night, I shaved my legs (odd sensation), the two of them did my makeup, I slapped a "Hi I'm Renee" name tag over my ample breasts, and we hit the parties.
I really loved it, even the fact that I kept getting pinched on the butt all weekend by both sexes. Thirty years later, when my crossdressing actually developed, my wife asked me about that weekend. I honestly believe that I had no ulterior motives at the time, but I do remember some time later looking for that tennis dress. Alas, it was no more.

I have been dressed by GG's numerous times. The first time was when I was still a quite young man, and I was playing a role at a party! At least the other girls thought I was playing a role! Too me it was a grand time!!
Then after I was married, my dear late wife used to dress me, from the skin out, on many occasions. She had the knack, or knowledge, to really make me passable! Much better than I could do by myself! I still miss her, even after 5+ years.
Even if she dressed me as a girl? ( just kiddin, she didn't)Quote:

The ONLY time I've been dressed from head to toe is from my wife. Both times were a surprise. It use to be "only for Halloween" type thing, but she's suggested it other times too, of which i have actually turned down. My eyes are sensitive & reacted to the makeup. So i've been reluctant. If i knew of some sensitive type eye makeup, i'd take her up on it.
It's kinda interesting, because though she doesnt get a thrill from it, she does enjoy it. We have an outstanding relationship, & neither takes advantage of the other. We are best friends not selfish, etc, and she believes these desires have actually brought out other positive traits in me.
I dress only when she does it, and while she'd be fine if i did it on my own. I dont want to, and thus dont dress much at all.
Happy with the balance.
Now if i could grow my hair longer, i can asure you that i would be doing some self-styling, to which my wife laughs that i wouldnt get ANYTHING done, & would play with it all day. She's a wise woman!
I haven't and when I just asked Sheila about it she said......"You're big enough to dress yourself"
So I guess that I never will be dressed by a GG then.
My SO selects my outfits every day ... but I dress myself!
Yup!
The first time was in High School. It was for Halloween, and a girl in my JROTC unit (Oh. Did I never mention that I was kinda geeky in HS? :)) told me that she knew what I was going as. The day before, I went to her house where her and her younger sister (who was incredible with makeup) did a "trial run" with makeup, styling my long hair, and clothes. Later, while they were teaching me to walk outside, their older sister pulled up into the driveway. My motorcycle was blocking her way, so she started honking. I managed to push it out of the way (no easy task in a short skirt, high heels, and trying desperately not to snag my friend's nylons). She scoffed and said I looked ridiculous and went upstairs. Their mom said that was nonsense, that I was adorable, but did ask if I was going to shave my legs. I gulped and agreed. As I was staying the night, she led me up to the tub and showed me where the shaving cream and razors were. I asked how to do it. She said, "It's just like shaving your face, but longer" and went downstairs with a chuckle. Wow. It took like 30 minutes, it seemed. I got redressed and came downstairs. I then received one of the nicest compliments ever. The younger sister said, "You look perfect. Just like a girl. Of all the boys in school, you are the only one that can pull it off."
The next day, I got a lot of stares, quite a few pinches in the halls (and other regions), a few laughs and insults, but one heck of a day!
There have been other times - a cosmetologist friend using me as a "practice dummy" and then saying, "Wow, since we're in the neighborhood and your makeup is looking good, let's go all the way" (incidentally, that's the only time I've ever heard that particular phrase :)) and dress you totally up. That was cool, and once she found out that I both enjoyed it and was her approximate size, I received a lot of her hand-me-downs. :)
A friend dressed me up when we were in Korea. I think I posted a bit about it here. The problem with that was there were very few women on that base at that time. I kind of stuck out like a sore thumb. We went to a bar very far away from base, and still got tagged. Ah well.

My girlfriend bought me an outfit and helped me accessorize it. I really surprised her because we have the exact same taste and styles that we like to get into. She loves me to go shopping with her now more than ever before.
Yep! my SO! Check out my pix! She helps with make up, photography, poses and accessories! I love it!
Oh YES. :battingeyelashes:
I discovered this about myself less than two years ago. My discovery was not made alone.
I was brought out by a woman...dressed, made up gently nudged out into public and then instructed in makeup, hair and accessories by that same woman.
:daydreaming:
I was seeing a woman who insisted on shopping with me for clothes and would take me back to her place and dress me with the new purchases. I learned a lot about how some clothes look better on that on the rack.
Yes,
Back in high school, a GF dressed me up, we were talking about clothing & one thing lead to another & we got on the subject about dressing up. So one day she dressed me up completely in womens clothing & did my makeup. Before this, in the morning before school she used to put eye makeup on, because i use to drive her to school, also she would shape my nails for me. I wish we were still dating now, to have some as accepting as she was would be great.
no but I wish it could happen. It would be mazing to go shopping in town with some GGs and then go and get dressed up.
In my early 20s, my then GF had a definite thing going on for Tim Curry in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. One Sunday afternoon she put me in her black stockings, suspender belt, silky knickers, black gloves and black basque, and had me 'perform' in front of her while she, ahem, 'relaxed', while wearing a nearly identical outfit. She got married a few years back - I hope her husband knows what a lucky fellow he is...!
My wife was dressing me for over 30 years in the times I wanted her to participate, other times I liked to take control of my look while she waited patiently for me to finish so we could go out as 2 girlfriends to grocery shop, mall shopping, movies, plays, restaurants with waitress service.
If its been once its been over a hundred times...really!.:daydreaming:
Going to be married 40 years now and I have her blessings. The early years of her dressing me would include home "play" after the lingerie and makeup. No need to go our after that she was dressed the same way and lets say we were both "satisfied":hugs:
Megan :2c:
I had a professional makeover, a long time ago. But I don't have the pics anymore. Don't purge!
I did once because i "lost a bet" lol. it ended up being my first time out in public and they were none the wiser. One of them still says i didnt complete the full end of my bet so we set a day for this summer and I have to spend an entire day in a sundress at the mall and see a chick flick with her. I cant wait!
My wife dresses me from head to toe several times throughout the year and especially on holidays. It is always a welcomed and lovely experience.:D
Never had the experience or an offer from a GG. I wish, I wish, I wish!
Yes. Yes, I was dressed head to toe by a GG many times. When I was FOUR! By my MOTHER.
But I am all grown up now and can dress myself, thank you very much. It's MUCH more satisfying this way.

In my younger years my GG friends always dressed me up did my makeup and even bought clothes and they encouraged me to transition to a woman and couldnt believe I looked that good and some of them were actully jealous.
Yes my wife dressed me when she became terribly frustrated with me. Once again I let her down and she said I was not a proper man. She said I would probably be more at home in her clothes and proceeded to dress me. When she had finished I pointed out that I had no shoes so she went out and bought me some, plus a wig. And there I was in the mirror looking like a beautiful woman with a short black cocktail dress, black stockings, heels, make up and things were never the same again.
