Reading the posts here, I have come to realize that we have many different goals as regards to crossdressing. Not goals as what we want to do or be in the future, but just our goals dressing each day.
For some, it seems to be wearing the clothes. Not trying to look or act like a woman, just wanting to wear the dresses or heels. For some, it's going out in public as a "man in a dress" to see how people react.
For others, there's a greater effort to look like a woman. Breast forms, wigs, makeup and jewelry. We may go out in public attempting to pass or blend in as women or we may just parade around the house looking in the mirror or taking photos.
The reason I posted this thread is, I recently saw a post in the photo gallery of a girl who had gone to a lot of trouble to get a makeover and get all dolled up and had photos taken. In many of the shots she looked like a beautiful woman, but in the shot from directly in front, she looked like a beautiful man. Her body was as straight as a 2X4 from her armpits to her knees. I've seen many other photos that were similar. A lot of work on the outfits, hair and makeup, but no thought for the figure.
I didn't say anything because she didn't ask, but folks, if you want to look like a woman, you have to add some padding. Look at woman's clothing size charts and you'll see that the hip measurements are usually slightly bigger than the bust and the waist is considerably smaller. Remember the term "hourglass figure"? That's what we have to aim for. Fail to do that and you'll be read every time. Boobs and a wig won't do it.
