    Best clothes

    hello All,
    do you have "best clothes" that you only wear for special occasions?
    I have some" best clothes" that I am saving for a special occasion. It is a bit silly really because I crossdress in private so no one will see me wear them, apart from my wife. The special occasion never comes ...
    It is probably because when I grew up my family had the "best china" and "best table cloth" which rarely got used except when an aged aunt visited, and I had my "best shoes" that were never to be worn to school or when playing with my friends.
    Stay healthy,
    luv J

    Pretty much all my clothes these days are Drag, so I don’t really have “best” clothes or “special occasion” clothes. I do have stuff that’s more elaborate or more expensive, but nothing like what you’re talking about.

    Yes, and I am saving the clothing for DLV, if it happens.

    Yes, I have some "best things". Mostly a few dresses for special occasions and now that we have retired I don't see many of them in our future.
    I really have to go through my closet and donate some things to make room. Just hate tossing something that fits and is in perfect condition.
    I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !

    My urges tend to result in an either all or nothing outcome. Either I?m in man mode or it?s the works - mini skirt, heels makeup etc - there isn?t really an in between phase for me.

    I have a complete wardrobe of clothes now that I am full time living as a woman. Mostly Bermuda shorts and sun dresses for the summer all day, unless going out. Tights and jeans with some type of top, with a sweater and or coat for those cooler day during the winter. I have my going into San Francisco clothes for when I meet up with my friends for wine and dinner and after dinner wine and just having a great time. Those clothes are appropriate for the venues and how I want to look and are mostly dresses and skirt/top combinations with some type of coat or light jacket depending on he weather. Then I have some special occasion dresses that sparkle, fit very well to my figure, show a little cleavage and should be worn with heels, which I always have issues with. I also have some very nice leather dresses and skirts that I like to mix in occasionally when I am feeling that special vibe!!

    I enjoy it all, have too much of everything and am having a hard time down sizing to a quantity more reasonable to my actual activities. I keep trying!

    We used to call them "Sunday-go-to-meeting" clothes!(jokingly) I have some dresses and skirt and tops that are in that category! Mostly find me in jeans and a top! Hugs Lana Mae (I am full time-24/7!)

    Sherry's "best clothes" fit into two categories:

    Those that I look striking in and that fit and present well enuf, plus r fairly easy to move in out in public!

    Those that r too fancy or too difficult to wear out in public. Even to T friendly, private affairs. Like this dress I could hardly walk in!

    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!

    Jacques,
    I had best clothes in male mode so I now have best clothes as a female , only common sense really . More to the point I found dressing for everyday more difficult than dressing to the nines for a night out .

    Other than the special dress I save for things like the opera (whenever that happens again), I wear all my best clothes throughout the year. To me it is about looking nice every time I go out. I also use my good plates every day!

    I have two unopened pairs of fully-fashioned stockings, which I had planned for K and I to wear to a stockings-themed event which was scheduled to take place in London some years ago, but was cancelled - never to be repeated - because the council suddenly decided to dump several extra and exorbitant charges on the organiser of the event.

    Like most of us (and most women) I have clothes that are dressier than others. Non for a "special occasion" though, because there won't likely be a special occasion, at least in the traditional sense.

    A special occasion for me would be if my wife agreed to go out in public with me as Krisi. If that ever happened, I would be dressing to blend in so I wouldn't be wearing a ball gown and heels. More likely a blouse and jeans. And flats.

    I have one dress I particularly love. I have had it for a long time and it is starting to show signs of wear. It is a dusty rose print in a crinkled rayon. I love the way I look in it and it feels so elegant to wear, I just can't give it up. So I limit myself to wearing it once a year. I choose a day when I don't have any chores, and can just enjoy being a dressed up lady. The day I wear it becomes a special event of its own.
    I am a vessel of the goddess. Let me express my calling to a feminine life through nurturing love and relatedness.

    Hi Jacques, I can only wish I had some "best clothes"! I am just lucky to get out of the closet, and then only to blend, unless it's a photo shoot in the back yard. LOL

    I have the whole range, from things to slouch in at the end of the day, through things that I wear to work in the office (when it was open), to things that I wear to a family wedding, just as anyone would. It's just that in my case they're all female as I haven't had any male clothes for a long time now. To get back to your OP, yes it is lovely to get dressed up for a big do.

    Jacques,

    I don't have that special evening gown type dress but I do have items that I would wear if eating out somewhere or if I got the opportunity to go to the theatre. If I go out somewhere like the cinema then I have smarter clothes compared with what I'd wear for going shopping but wherever I go I always try to have a outfit that is put together, things that make and complement each other as opposed to grab anything type of approach.
    Who dares wears Get in, get out without being noticed

    I have two evening gowns that I'll probably never wear, even at home. I only wear dresses. Some I would classify as "party" dresses as one or two have lace overlays. If my wife is like most women they seem to have clothes that are worn for special occasions; including undergarments to seduce lovers. As a kid I did have a black suit that I only wore to church. I think back to that time period and boys hated the Sunday best clothes. There was a little rebellious fashion trend back then. All the guys I knew wore either white socks or red socks with their suits. Crazy?

    Not anymore. If I ever had any, they were already purged.

    I generally dress as the spirit moves me. That said, it's much more common for me to put on activewear or something simple. Taking the time for a formal dress and fussing with hair/makeup/jewelry makes a special occasion in it itself!

    Yes of course,

    I have a few dresses and other things I only wear on special occasions, and when I'm looking for that ,"WOW" response.

    I have a couple nicer dresses from thrift stores and have worn each once or twice around home. They won't see any special occasions, but I couldn't pass them up at thrift store prices. Really anything that needs to be dry cleaned I rarely wear because of cost of cleaning will probably be more than my purchase price.
