Lingerie vs. orher female clothing

[Rica]

i grew up masturbating to the lingerie section of sears catalogs, later to Victoria's Secret catalogs, then to porn that always fetishized lingerie directed by guys like michael ninn and andrew blake. i think gen X, my cohort, was the first "pornified" generation, with the advent if internet porn in the mid '90s.

i have a lingerie fetish, which i definitely attribute, at least in part, to my affinity for watching porn. when i had a girlfriend, i liked to dress them up in lingerie. when i had no girlfriend to put lingerie on, i would dress up myself in lingerie. putting on a garter belt and stockings, sometimes a merriwidow, that was usually enough to satisfy my urge. it wasn't about how i looked, it was about how i felt, sexy.

when i came out to my wife a few months ago about crossdressing, she said my obsession with (buying her) lingerie and sexy swimwear all mase sense to her. crossdressing with her was about how i looked, not just about how i felt. it was about finding looks that brought out the femininity in me, not the vixen. i wanted to look and feel girly, not sultry, and she wanted me to look as pretty as i can be. i started dressing fully, started growing my hair long again, fell in love with makeup artistry, and found myself daydreaming a lot about going out to CD-friendly bars/clubs and events dressed as a woman, or at least a pretty, feminine man.

for me it was the transition from secrecy and shame to openness and pride, even with just my wife and close friends, that made my tastes change.

This is me in my favorite Victoria's Secret outfit. It's vintage early nineties I think.

I started with pantyhose and heels. Then bra and panties. Then progressively added clothing, jewelry, makeup, and wig. The way I dress now is determined by my feelings. Sometimes I just want to wear lingerie other times get fully dressed in a dress or skirt. It all depends on my mood and how I feel. Sometimes I don't want to dress.

i really like the photo "don't move." the ambiguous facial expression is perfect!

Thank you.

I originally started with pantyhose and panties way back when, and once in a while even wore them to school. The pantyhose desire faded - giving way to thigh-highs, oh my! - but the panties desire got stronger as I grew up. I don't remember how long it was before I actually got my first real pair of heels, but I so loved the way they made my legs look!

Now I have two storage totes full of lingerie ranging from stockings to sheer robes to lacy teddies, something like fifteen pairs of heels in various colors and heights, and two six-foot drawers full of just panties, both for "everyday wear" and "special/sexy" occasions. (I also spent a full week in Las Vegas going out day and night in t-shirt and form-fitting Gloria Vanderbilt jeans with sexy panties and knee-highs underneath - no one even blinked.)

I was mostly interested in body hugging clothes at first, lingerie, tights or swimsuits. While I’m still drawn to that, I now find myself obsessing over dresses more and more.

[Michelle1955]

In my case started with panties, bras, girdle,hose, slips at an early age, then added cloths later.

I started with my mother's 2 piece bikini and then worked my way around to other items. I still have the bikini I started with. She doesn't know it's gone. And I've started my own collection from bikinis to yoga pants and beyond.

Like many others, it was a progression for me. Over the years, and particularly after I made sense of my femininity, I moved from strictly lingerie to the complete dressing that I'm now so comfortable with. But...lingerie will always have an important place in my life. Yes, it sometimes remains linked somehow to my sexuality...something about the pure femininity of lingerie and it's "hidden" or "concealed" nature. But it's now much more than that...for example, simply sleeping in a pretty nightgown or teddie has become a source of great joy, comfort and peacefulness in my life.

Definitely progression for me. I started at age five with wearing my mom’s pantyhose around the house and to bed. Eventually graduated to wearing some sort of 1980’s leotard she had with matching nylons. Blah blah blah. Now I dress fully (makeup, wig, skirts, tops, heels). And yes, I love lingerie. Sometimes I wear the lingerie under my guy clothes (under dressing). Sometimes I wear it if I’m feeling like a sexual female. For me, what I choose to wear depends on my mood, but it’s definitely been a progression for.

i started with pantyhose, leotards... and later i wear others female itens along my life. i use lingerie (bodyuts, catsuits, tigths, etc) underwear sometimes (more in winter) and only in lingerie, at home alone.... or at bed with my wife.

I only wish I were still under 200 pounds and a size 8-10 instead of a 200+lb and a size 22-24. (So do my DRs.)

For years it was just panties. Then panty hose, then Oh My God a bra. I do not try to pass, no amount of makeup can hide my mustache LOL. My dressing has evolved to panties, panty hose, bra, skinny jeans, and blouses. It's what I like and what I feel comfortable with.

[Julia96]

For me it started with just panties but has since evolved to stockings and garters and I even got my first bra just a month ago! My crossdressing is very much still budding but one thing is for sure: lace feels divine.

My dressing kind progressed from the outside in. It was competition skating costumes that started it for me. I competed since I was 7. I would go to practice and see the girls in their performance costumes. Wishing I could wear one of those when I skated. My first purchase was a used costume of a friend I car pooled with. purchased at Goodwill.
Looking through catalogs and such. I realized that girls must wear underwear under them like boys do. I guess it snowballed from their. panties and bras. Hey, Leotards are close to the costumes, teddies too.

It started with pantyhose. My ex hated it & would get very upset whenever she discovered I was wearing a pair.
She always warned me that wearing them would progress to wanting to look completely like a woman.
Many years later it turns out that she was right & I am now developing a full wardrobe.
As mentioned in my introduction she's ok with it now. Although she still sometimes teases me about how my pantyhose turned into my slippery slope.

I started with stockings and heels and progressed to fully dressed in skirt and blouse. It depends on my mood and what I am doing how I dress. Sometimes lingerie and heels feel just right and other times I need a skirt.

I just used to dress up when I was really young. Then in my teens I discovered the wonders of lingerie.

Hi,
I started with tights (pantyhose), then progressed through panties, sleepwear, bras, skirts to dresses at home. I often under-dress in panties and women's socks or thick tights out of the house (not exactly lingerie in some people's definition of the word).
