I visited a small retail store for women's clothing,and when she asked me if I was shopping for my girlfriend, I answered back not really. I picked out a really cute, purple prom dress, and I asked if I could try it on. She said yes, and that she had two other customers that were cross dressers, and she was really accepting about cross dressing. I then tried on several dresses and I ended up purchasing the lovely, purple prom dress. I could not reach the lace up back very well so she suggested that I come out of the tiny dressing room to have her tighten the lacing. She loved how the dress looked on me, and I walked around the shop since there were not any other customers around.
I stopped back into the little shop on Friday, and she was so welcoming, and excited to see me. She had female customers come in and I said that I did not want to create an issue with my dressing. She said that people need to become more accepting of what other people desire to be, and not to worry about it. She said that she has told a couple of her friends about me, and she has one friend that is willing to come over to the shop to let me try on her wigs. We are then going to do a fashion show to let me show off my fashions. She has friends in beauty salons, and I will ask her to find an accepting one to do a complete makeover.
I am finally getting beyond just dressing around the house. For me to be able to go out in public with some accepting women will be my defining moment in cross dressing. Next, I will get up some courage to meet with my fellow cross dressers! I do promise to start taking pictures of my fashions.
Thank you for reading about my new experience.
All the best,
Rebecca
