Still moving house.

And still wearing a wedding dress. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I would be moving into a new house and would wear a wedding dress. What I thought was a simple statement seemed to lead to confusion, bewilderment and disbelief. This means I did a poor job of explaining what I was doing. It still is quite simple. I am moving into a new house and most of the fittings and furniture will be new. What I am keeping from my old house will be moved before I move in. As to why wear a wedding dress I can answer with another question. Why crossdress?. I only have one side to my being but, if I had a feminine side, I suppose I would say that I am moving my feminine side in. My male side would already have made the move. I have dreamed of doing this for years and would be another box ticked. The move will only be for me privately without any others present. I hope you too get to tick boxes in your life.

Georgina;
Congratulations on your new house. Wearing a Wedding dress is great, but I would be worried that it might get stained or ripped.
I have a french Maid's dress that my late wife bought for me many year ago. I would hate to wear it to clean the house, It might get dirty.

I think people just don't get it. It is maybe a little weird. But so what? If it is something you want to do then by all means do it. It wont hurt anyone and could be a lot of fun.

Go for it gurl x

Have fun, why not?

Georgina,
It now makes more sense , I think under those circumstances I might have dressed but possibly in something more practical , as I mentioined in your previous thread it was a freezing cold , wet day when I moved , added to all the other problems more like a day from hell , plus the end of 44 years of marriage . The only temptation I had was tying a Union Jack on the back of the removal truck but the company had thought of that first as they were an international removal company .

Sorry your move was a day from hell Teresa. Luckily mine will be a joyous event.

Teresa, was this your personal and symbolic version of Brexit? ;) :heehee: :doh:

Georgina, I didn't read the other thread, just this, but I think that you are not talking literally but symbolic.
That's what I understood.

I think I sort of understand what you're doing. When I purchased my retirement house, one of the things I did, was to make sure that I could dress entirely in female clothing as much as I wanted, and basically live as I believe a female would the vast majority of the time, at least when I was at home. As soon as I had gotten all my belongings into the house, I changed into one of my favorite girl outfits, and then resumed unpacking and putting everything away. I have on occasion, hung up an old revolving disco ball with the requisite colored lighting, played all my favorite dance music from the late 70's, while wearing a pretty dress very similar to those which I saw girls wearing back in the day.
I've thought about a wedding dress, but worry that I'd get it dirty somehow, and now living in a less progressive town, I don't think I'd want to bring it to the lone local dry cleaner to have cleaned. Perhaps I'll get to do it eventually, and just put up with the hour and a half drive to the nearest major city and find a dry cleaner there to have it cleaned for me when necessary.
Enjoy your new home. I hope it becomes everything you wish it to be.
