What order do you get dressed in?

[Jessica Kelly]

I've seen videos of most people putting make up on first, but to be honest that doesn't really get me feeling feminine straight away.
Here's how I do it:
1) Remove anything and everything male, including facial hair
2) Figure out my look for the day
3) Slide into my outfit one piece at a time.
4) Sort out cleveage and body shape
5) Apply facial make up
6) Apply body make up when applicable
7) Accessorise, (think thats how its spelt ) ie, jewellry, belts, shoes if Im in the mood
8) Sort out wig/hair extensions
9) Review
I don't know how similar you gals do it but I'd love to know!

After I remove Bill from the premises, I
1, apply make up because I dont want to make a mess of my dress and I am sloppy with it.
2, get my foundation garments on, try to make a figure hmm go figure.
3, pick out an outfit, not many to choose from sadly
4, find my hair, or put a dog on my head which ever looks best that day.
5, look in the mirror and go yuck, think about starting over!

[pamela_a]

Let's see:
1. Facial routine: don't forget to scrub and moisturize
2. Decide which outfit to wear
3. Half dressed..change my mind; change outifts
4. Dressed. Don't want to wear the shoes that go with my outfit.
5. Change outfits again. This one will work
6. Make up
6. Style my hair (it's mostly air dry by now anyway)
7. Add ear rings and necklace.
8. Grab my purse and run out the door. I'm already running late for work.
9. Add lipstick on the way to work.

[Kim_Bitzflick]

Generally I put on my undergarments first because they don't look right if I put them on over my other clothes

Seriously

I do the dressing (undergarments first) and then makeup & then wig.

[Jessy]

Okay, here we go!

1. Figure out what I wanna wear.
2. Get out of drab clothes, get into fem underwear.
3. Shave, both face and body.
4. Get into the outfit I decided to wear.
5. Fix body shapes (hips, breasts).
6. Put my wig on.
7. Apply accessories, mainly being jewelry.
8. Apply make-up.
9. If I'm happy with the result, make a few hundreds pics to get the best ones out later.

[joann07]

1. Shave face
2. Apply contact lenses
3. Apply makeup

9. Shoes
10. Lipstick & lip gloss

[sissystephanie]

My list is so much more simple! But there is a reason for that!

1. Pick out my outfit.
2. Shave.
3. Put on bra and panties.
4. Put on outfit and shoes.
5. Go whereever it is I am going.

I can do that because I no longer wear makeup or a wig. I am a man in female clothing!

[suchacutie]

Procure an adult beverage, then:

1) Decide what to wear and get it all out.
2) Nails (and let them harden...this takes a while but I want nails done before makeup!)
3) Face: Shave, moisturizer, primer, concealer, foundation, eye color, brows, eyeliner, mascara layers, blush/bronzer, powder, perfume, wash and moisturize hands.
4) Dress: lingerie (forms), stockings, whatever clothes necessary to put on my heels, rest of my clothes, hair.
5) Add jewelry.
6) Regular "powder my nose" regimin: Brush hair, add/repair lip gloss, repair powder.

Heavens, no wonder this takes forever!!!

[Stephanie Anne]

1) Drag myself out of bed
2) Get in shower... feel legs... con myself into "I got another day before I have to shave"
3) Scrub my face with exfoliate... get it in eye... scream...
4) toner, lotion, primer
5) stumble to chest of drawers... dig out underwear... put it on... curse how left band of bra is always twisted
6) shuffle back into bathroom to debate if I want to deal with makeup today... put on lip gloss and say "screw it"
7) get dressed
8) spend 5 minutes looking at my ass wondering if it is fitting in my pants... ignore it and get going

[Schatten Lupus]

I just get dressed, usually from the bottom up. Makeup then nail polish. If I shave, I do that first. Don't have to worry about a wig since my hair is long.

[sherri52]

first i choose the outfit
then I switch out below the waist first
move on to the torso area
next I apply the makeup
last I have to decide to go with or without a wig
without a wig i have to curl my hair for the look I want
switch everything into a purse and away I go

[Carly D.]

From buff mode I put on:

1) Panties
2) Pantyhose (always left leg first, habit I got in years ago)
3) Girdle (keeps the leg wear up and feels cool)
4) Heels (actually heels before girdle but either way is good)
5) Bra (over the shoulder bump holder)
6) Skirt
7) Top
8) Jewelry (including ear rings and anklets and whatever else)
9) Wig
10) Various makeup (to me makeup is n't important so it is n't a big deal)

11) Belt (just looks good and the insurance that my skirt won't fall down is extremely a big valuable feeling to have)

12) ATTITUDE (O.k. I lack attitude anymore but last year it came with the grabbing of the car keys just before I walked out of the house)

What order do you get dressed in?

[SIZE="2"]What order? Let’s see…

1. I scrape away any residual male-ness. Since masculinity rolls off of me like water on a duck’s back, this doesn’t take more than a few seconds…
2. Depending on the circumstances, my nails have already been painted or prepared. Fingernails are usually “clear” but very neat, and toenails are painted with opaque color…
3. I peer into my closet, fondle my many femme garments, and ask one of them to “dance” with me. I normally wear skirts more than dresses, so I also need to choose a blouse to wear…
4. The underwear magically emerges from a drawer, and then I wrap myself in form-fitting items that instantly create an awareness of my body. Of course, I have prepared the latter beforehand. Panties? Yes, but not too ornate, a means to an end. I prefer pink boy shorts…
5. My breastforms are very modest and barely noticeable. A bra holds the forms in place and hugs my body just-so. After being (and feeling) drab, this gentle hug is very…moving…
6. My femme shoes, chosen for the outfit, slide onto my feet. This step alone goes a long way towards feeling integrated, in terms of gender. The shoes fit snugly, and I walk across the line. If I’m not wearing nylons, I wear very, very thin socks, depending on the ambient temperature…
7. I put on my dress, which is hanging nearby like a work of art, or I slide on a blouse, followed by a skirt. I enjoy this part immensely, so I fuss over the fit until I’m satisfied…
8. I head for the bathroom across the hall, yank out my Kathi Lake makeup kit, and recreate my face from chaos. Since I’m a painter, I’m very good with brushes. My eyebrows are usually good to go…
9. I take pains with lipstick application, and I get a real kick out of doing it – I love red, tending towards scarlet, but not too strong or obvious. Once my lips are defined, I’m nearly there…
10. The wig has already been styled (I usually tie it into a pony-tail), then I put it on over a wig cap. My wigs are invariably long, with soft bangs, and light auburn in hue…
11. I put on some small, dangling earrings, plus a pink bracelet of some kind. If it’s cool in the house, or if I’m going outside, I’ll add a cropped sweater or jacket for warmth…
12. I look in the mirror, primp and preen, until I’m satisfied with my appearance. I’m still the same person, but the male has been incorporated into the female. I am me, once again…
13. I do a lot of just “feeling” my clothes, not only physically but also psychologically. I find myself transported to a calm, blissful state as if by magic. The peacefulness thus obtained is hard to describe, but why spoil things with words? It’s worth all of the effort… [/SIZE]

[Empress Lainie]

first panties then stockings or socks if I choose to wear them, sometimes just bare feet and legs with flipflops or sandals.
2.If I decide to wear a bra over my B cups I leave it fastened and pull it on over my head like a sweater.
3. If I decide to wear them, put the D breastforms or the C water pushups in the bra, sometimes nothing but me.
4. Put on whatever top I decided to wear.
5. Put on the bottom, skirt, pants, capris, whichever
6. Put on my wig, seven to choose from, but since most places I go people think my short red wigs (either one) are my real hair, I wear them mostly. I wear my long blonde or lilac wig to certain places that have seen me in them before. Rarely wear my short blonde ones except for the apartment hot tub. Don't want to get chlorine in my other wigs.
7.Put on lipstick if I wear any. If I am going to eat immediately I wait till after I am through eating, it is just wasted otherwise.
8. Shoes or sandals or flipflops may go on before or after I dress.
I shave before starting dressing, but its been proven good for up to 30 hours with no one any the wiser. I live and work 24/7 as a normal woman.

[Karren H]

Under things in first, over things on second (duuhh).. Makeup then hair started somewhere in the middle and finished before I walk out the door. I don't have a set routine.. It just all has to get done before I'm ready.

[TGMarla]

1) Pantyhose
2) Hip pads (I use the hosiery to keep them in place)
3) Bra and breast forms

5) Dress (usually...sometimes I do the sweater or blouse and skirt thing)
6) Shoes
7) Makeup (Foundation first, then eybrows, eyeliner and mascara)
8) Jewelry (Necklace, bracelets and anklet)
9) Wig
10) More makeup (blush, lip liner and lipstick)
11) Earrings (I like putting them on when I already have my lipstick on....just something I like)

I pretty much follow the same routine Jessica, except you got me thinking.. Body make up? That's something I havn't tried but I probably should..

[AKAMichelle]

sounds very similar to my steps as well. I don't think you missed a thing.

[Crysten]

I'm too limited nowadays with my kids around to have any "routine" that takes more than about 3 minutes. Underthings, nightgown, bed, sleep.

Keeping it simple!!!

Or....If I dooooo have the time....

I try on everything one outfit at a time. Dresses, skirts, blouses, sweaters, jeans...everything. It's a regular fashion show!!
