    finally got a tall mirror

    it's a cheaper one but excited to finally have a long mirror that shows head to heels all at once. I've been dealing with just my bathroom mirror and hand mirror. I bet some people here have some fancy mirrors 😆

    The cheap Walmart mirror and the nice looking expensive mirror, bought on sale show the same thing. Always good to have a full length mirror though.

    you have a point for sure. I also tried a mirror that distorted my reflection must've been crooked or bent

    You can get a nice floor length mirror at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $40.
    I have one in the closet that is mounted to the back of the door. I don't remember how much I paid for it, I know it was inexpensive, but it works great.

    A full length mirror is a must for crossdressing, I have a cheapo Walmart mirror and it does what I need it to do.

    A tall mirror is definitely a crossdressing need for me. Even as a teenager when I dressed I would take my sister's full length mirror to my room. And now I have two in my bedroom (one on the door and a second one on a wall mounted jewerly case for the wife) and an old one in my home office.

    We have a full length mirror which is mounted on the wall of a bathroom. When home alone en femme I can open the bathroom door (toilet and sink are not visible) and see myself as I toil in the kitchen and dinning area. I like seeing myself baking or cooking en femme.

    I have one on a door and one on an opposite wall.

    Yes, I can see how bad I look at the back of me too.


    Just so handy to see all round.

    Certain times of day the light is right in my home for pic taking so my window of opportunity is limited.
    I need to get some decent lighting for taking pics indoors and set up a special room for it.

    don't bother with distorted mirrors from big box stores. look up the minde mirror. it's $13 and it's clear

    for lighting, 24x28" softbox w a powered bulb socket. you can find them on ebay for $15. they are lightweight, and fold up for storage

    What about going to a glass and glazing merchant, there you could buy a mirror to the exact size you want and buy the fixtures to go with it at the same time. Those businesses tend to stock a better quality of mirror coupled with their reputation would go down the pan if they did not.
    I have several mirrors in my house, not full length as yet but one is angled slightly and does the trick for now.

    My house has 3 bedrooms and each one has built-in wardrobes with sliding doors, wardrobe in my bedroom has 3 sliding doors on it and the whole door is a mirror all 3 of them, the other 2 bedrooms have 2 sliding doors on each wardrobe and each one of them is mirror doors the same as my bedroom, so I have 7 full-length mirrors to choose from.

    Courtney,
    Funny story about my full length morror , it's oval on a stand , I bought from my local charity shop but it is new stock they also sell off . I joked with the SA when I bought it saying I hoped it wasn't one of the distrorted amusement arcade types . When I arrived home and set it up I couldn't believe I looked like a 6' 6" catwalk model , I laid a straight edge across the glass and found it was concave by about 6mm either end . Because it was a charity shop buy I opted not to return it but gently removed the back and wedged small spacers in at each end and then pinned the back on , checked with a straight edge to check if it was flat , worked out great !

    It was great looking that tall and slim ! I did wonder at the time how many store mirrors are intentionally distorted because we all know the feeling when we get home that the item doesn't look the same .

    If u like your fem looks you'll have full length mirrors where u dress. I have them in my bath and bedroom. And, our guest apt, which has become my studio, and our workout room, which has become Sherry's private stage!

    What I find helpful is that I see what I look like in my full length photos.

    But, some of u only take phone selfies! So, u have no idea what u look like full size. Or, what others see!

    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    Can't imagine not having at least one full length mirror in my home. Have full length mirrors on two wardrobe doors in our bedroom, a wall mounted one in the spare bedroom and a wall mounted one in our guest apartment. The lack of such a mirror in hotel rooms is always something that displeases my wife and me too.
    Rachel,

    As a crossdresser my personality has several facets. Therefore, I suppose I can be forgiven for being facetious.
