Were Frilly Dresses and Lingerie created by Men because its what we like to see our women wearing or is it what women really like wearing ?
What is wrong with women that they don't wear cute dresses,Petticoats, and slips and fun frilly Babydolls way more often ?
OR
Is something wrong with Men who think these items would be fun and practical to wear ?
I always thought Girls were the silly ones But maybe its us Boys that are the silly ones ?
So confused ! Any Thoughts ?
Every human is different. For example if you look at women's astrology table of lingerie then they show the different styles that each woman likes.. I am Libra and I like lacier stuff, the same as any Libra would. My SO is Pisces and like fringes on clothes and boots. Me, I don't particularly like that but she looks good that way. I like Lacey bra's and other stuff. Every woman is different and that is why.

Baby doll nighties are not comfy that is why I don't wear them plus I would look rather silly in one.
Petticoats really? Its 2017 petticoats are exactly in every womans wardrobe.
Very unpractical as well.
Projecting seems to be rampant here lately.
Then you're buying the wrong ones. My ex also complained about that; said the lace felt itchy on her skin. Turned out she was just buying crappy merchandise. Just because something looks nice, doesn't mean it's going to feel nice, on.Originally Posted by Tracii G
Women will wear whatever suits them when they're in the moment. Sometimes they will wear very plain things, other times, fancy sexy ones. Even my ex, who abhored frilly sexy outfits, purchased a few for our honeymoon.

Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
I'll be going to bed shortly, wrapped in my Pashmina and wearing my lavender panties, just checked there pink!
So where were we? oh yeh, men!

I do like wearing fancy dresses once in a while, just makes me feel more Fem.

Women are more likely to wear sexy clothing when they're ovulating. We've entered the jeggins age or super tight denim jeans. Funny, tight jeans on women go way back (50s,60s) and seem to be more in style than ever.

I think men are more into the frilly dreses and especially the lingerie. My wife seems to make every attempt at dressing in comfortable jeans and tennis shoes with a T shirt more and more. She hates having to dab on makeup to run into town. She say we men are the lucky ones. We can jut wear the same color pair jeans daily, and don't have to do our hair or spend thirty mins just getting ready tO run to the groceries. I've also seen more women getting sloppier every time we do go shopping.
I think we are sometimes more consciously trying to assert our femininity and thus are naturally more likely to want to wear hyper-feminine styles. GG's are not usually as unconfident in being women, and thus may go more for comfort.
Another issue is age. Women perhaps rightly have the concept of dressing age-appropriately. They want to avoid criticism and in some cases unwanted attention from men by dressing less sexually.
In my own short time so far at crossdressing i have figured out that for me wearing high heels and sexy clothes is fitting for clubs, but wearing flats ( to keep me from standing out in height ), and more modest clothes seems like the practical way to go. But i like the idea of underdressing with sexy lace/satin so that i still feel girly plus i have the option to selectively reveal it if i'm lucky. lol
Im into the vintage stuff, open bottom girdles , long line bras, slips etc , I would not expect my wife to wear those anymore as clothes today are ore comfortable. That said, I do think it is nice then they dress up or wear something sexy...I tell her when she does so she knows. I do not expect it everyday but looking good should be fun.
No regrets except I should have got dressed & stepped out sooner.
I like frilly and feminine attire. It enhances the sensuality of dressing (it's fun). There is nothing wrong with that.
Woman my age (60's) maybe not feel the urge to dress super frilly. Nothing wrong with that either.
I think some women find the expectation by males that females always present as super feminine to be sexist and tiresome. We as men need to be sensitive to that. After all, frilly attire does not define one's femininity. Femininity comes from the heart.
You are a beautiful woman Fee, that's all that matters

That's the nicest, sweetest thing you could possibly say to me. Thanks, Stacy.
My wife ALWAYS wears boring white cotton bra and panties. As far as any lingerie she has a few items but rarely wears them. When it comes to bedtime she will wear sweat pants and a MAN'S t-shirt to bed during the winter time.... Summertime she has a couple cotton nightshirts that she wears.
I am the opposite of my wife. I like colors and silky lingerie both in bras/panties and nightgowns. Yes I do have a couple pair of white panties, but they are nylon and not cotton. When wearing nightgowns with a bra I like to have the colors match, it may not be a perfect match but they are close.
As far as why this is, I am not sure...... I just go with the flow
Happilymarriedguy thats because its exciting to you to dress that way your wife could care less she is going to sleep and would rather be comfy.
What has not been mentioned yet (or has it) but I think age comes into it. Aren't frilly dresses for the younger ones amongst us? or am I missing the point here?
Maybe I misunderstood the OP but I took it to ask if men liked frilly things on women more than women liked wearing them. I'm not sure why but over the years, I've seen women dress less and less like women and both genders are moving towards each other in clothing style. Look in the women's catalogs and you will see items like boyshorts, "his shirts" and the list goes on and on. Men's clothing, especially the materials used to make them are also moving towards the middle as well. You see more and more sateen dress shirts, etc.
Times are changing and that isn't always what we want to see... but it's a fact of life that we all must adapt to.

Tracii G,
There are baby doll nighties and then there are baby doll nighties. No two styles are the same and to portray them all as "not comfy..." is a pretty hasty judgment.
Take the two below... yes, the one on the left is probably not really designed for sleeping but the one on the right is a style that is VERY comfortable and has provided me with some very restful nights.

We don't want to give some people the wrong idea now, do we?

For woman age seems to be a big factor. From teens to late 20s it seem most woman like to be more sexy, even if no one can see. By the time they married and in the 30s comfort rules or as for my wife she doesn't like they way she look in sexy lingerie. As for men, we like to look at women who present sexy. For CDs we like to be pretty as often as we can. I have never found frilly to mean uncomfortable.

I have always been into very feminine frilly clothes. I cannot see dressing unless it is in lingerie and frilly dresses. My fiancee use to only wear dresses which I loved, know to my disappointment, she wears pants most of the time.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
My wife will not leave the house wearing nothing less than corset, full fashioned stockings, pencil skirt and pearls. Then the darn alarm went off!
I'm more into practical/everyday than frilly. I do prefer skirts and dresses to pants. But in Texas a lot of women wear skirts and dresses every day.
I believe it's mostly your mindset. As cders, you gals mostly have to struggle for time to dress up and be feminine. Where we GG's get to be female. It's who we are, and we do "have the right parts." So a lot of men don't need us to dress up for them to be attracted to us. However, for me, I'm uncomfortable in my body. I'm overweight, short and have had 4 children. So nothing looks good on me. I am very blessed though to have a husband (and girlfriend) who loves me no matter what I look like. (S)he is always very excited when it comes to being with me, whether I dress up or not. But (s)he loves it when I dress up. I have to struggle to feel comfortable wearing some things, but (s)he always makes sure to show extra attention and be more appreciative when I do dress up.
If people feel good bout their body, they tend to dress up more. I've found that people who have confidence issues, tend to never even try. If they try and don't get a good reaction, it makes it harder to do. I've been able to do it more as time goes on because my husband (girlfriend), is always positive and appreciative. It helps when your partner is truly attracted to you no matter what you look like and don't have a set idea of what they want you to look like.

I miss the early 70's and before. The clothes were part who you were and displayed your pride. Oh my what a time that was!

It's worth something just being around to Fuss!
I know that I have more sexy, silky lingerie than my wife does - So, I guess I'm into the lingerie more
I am definitely more into lingerie and fully dressing up than my wife. She likes it, once or twice a year for "special occasions" But prefers to be in "comfortable clothes" most of the time. If it were up to be me, I would dress up in full female mode everyday with full makeup and dress. It is so much fun and exciting. For most GG, they are comfortable being woman and would rather be not make the effort.
