As I said before, I had intentions on going to Scarborough Renaissance Festival and dress up like a lady. Today I made it happen, but it did not start out so smoothly.
First, we are in the process of moving, and I had to make an excuse to be gone all day because we had tickets, and I was not about to miss out on my golden opportunity. We got to the festival, me with my breast forms and wig in a bag, and I was informed that there may not be any costume rentals because of COVID19. Sure enough, the rental place was shut down. I was disgusted and upset. That was the bad part, but now comes the good part....
I decided "Screw the money, I'm gonna buy an outfit!", and that's what I did. I decided to go with a fair maiden outfit, explaining that I wished to look sexy. I knew I was gonna be sexy too, because I was wearing a corset with it. The ladies inside the nearest dress shop were extremely helpful. I got a blouse, skirt, corset, and a belt pouch. The whole thing came to $300 and it was money well spent IMO. This was the result....

I fell in love with the look and totally loved what I saw looking back at me in the mirror. I told anyone who asked my name that it was "Mary". I got a little confused for a second when someone called me "Ma'am", but quickly remembered I was dressed like a woman, and I wished to be referred to this way. I walked around with my head held high and my breasts sticking out proudly, showing no fear at all and just immersing myself in the whole environment. I was unsure of which bathroom to use, but found ones marked "unisex". I started out wearing my blonde wig, but decided to make a wise investment of $40 on a red-haired wig, which matched the outfit better.
The highlight of my day came when another girl approached me from behind to tell me how lovely I looked. Everyone who saw me could most likely tell I was a guy underneath those female clothes, but again I presented myself en femme and soaked it all in. I took time at the end of the day to thank the ladies at the dress shop who helped me out, and promised that I would come back to the festival again before they left town in May.
The day did not end there. We left a half hour before the festival closed and went to the next town to get something to eat, inside the restaurant. I was feeling so good in my outfit, I did not want to take it off. Yes a few people looked in my direction, but nothing else came of it. I figured they knew the festival was nearby, and that me and my friends had just come from there. Finally I got to my friend's house where I left my car, changed clothes, and went back home. I kept hoping this was a dream so I could do the whole day over again!
