For those who have gone longer than a whole day, I can only guess you include time in the shower as "being dressed" and time shaving also. I can only go for about two days without needing one the other or both of those and I dont go into the shower dressed, face it being in the shower means facing the "real."

My reply has many unintended landmines within it. So far it has been two weeks that ended only because I had a series of VA doctor appointments coming up. A broad statement might be that there are no time restrictions left for me, so how did this happen? First of all former wife, all life-time friends and relatives worth knowing have all departed earth. Who know me presenting as male? The docs at the VA hospital, my banker, landlord, attorney, and I forgot, one elderly wheel-chair-bound nearby cousin and her male partner. Now one would say that's the hand God dealt you so work around that schedule and you have 90% of your life available to be whatever you want. "Not so fast", says God, "you don't get off that easy." "You see, I made you as a human with all the frailities built in for it wasn't my desire that anything I created should live forever and,though you're well past your alloted lifespan I'm not going to let you forget your mortality". And what does He do to remind me? Might be early afternnon, or in the wee hours of the morning when parts of that decaying body yells out in pain, blanks out the brain or whatever else He sees fit to do. The female trappings are quickly shed, skin is scrubed and it's decision time: do I push that alarm button, drive to a ER or wait it out? False alarm and dressing begins all over again. So what was given up deliberately or otherwise? And how free are you now really? Sorry if that was long but so is a long life if lucky. Now go back and find the land mines for they lie hidden in all our lives.

Must have been more than a few years ago, on vacation, letting something or other heal. I stayed in the house fore several weeks, never wore any male clothing at all, even took out the garbage in the middle of the night as a girl, albeit in a black turtle neck top, dark skirt with black tights and black shoes. In the dark, it would be hard to quickly verify what I was wearing even if anyone saw me. There was no enjoyment, thrill, nothing; I just felt normal.
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.
Not if you take bubble baths instead of showers, with lots and lots of bubblesOriginally Posted by celeste26
seriously when I'm on a long stretch as a woman I always take baths instead of showers, there's something so feminine about soaking in the tub, shaving your legs and underarms, etc. And when I'm at the vanity putting on my moisturizer and makeup I have a little terry body wrap and a terry turban that makes me look as feminine as I feel
I go for a week at a time whenever I can, but I always slip back into male mode for church. My church is extremely conservative, but I like it. Not counting Sunday mornings, my longest is probably three weeks or so.
Hmmm, maybe 5 days at the longest, but rarely more than a few hours at a time.
Hmm I'm jealous of those of you who can say days or even weeks dressed. It's definitely on my bucket list to spend at least a weekend. I don't know if Ill ever get the chance now. The longest for me would be about 24 hours. I was a teenager I think 16 and my whole family went away for a holiday without me. I pulled the grumpy teenage routine and the dog needed minding anyway. Had the place to myself. I was lucky too that my Mother collected clothes off other people to be sent to charity. So I got a few things that way. I wore a powder blue corduroy dress and white boots. It was the seventies. At night I slept in a nightdress. I also took the dog for a walk at night dressed. It was heaven even if the boots were a bit tight being size 5 and I a size 6.
Now I often underdress for days. But it's not the same.
Only 7 hours
about a day and a half of all women's clothing.

Only about five hours or so; wish I could for days straight.
Just four hours, my average time for a shopping walk. I hope to get the opportunity to spend a full day as Betty in the near future.
I'm trying to set a record right now with the house all to myself. It's going to fall a bit short of 24 hours though because I have some business to attend to tomorrow night. That'll probably be a three or four hour interlude then I will go straight back to girl mode until I have to work Thursday.
For years I hoped I was just a CDer but now I realize I am transgender and that's alright.
I cleaned the closet of all my male stuff, put in only girl clothes and spent the week dressed. When I when out shopping or whatever it was still in women's clothes but no wig or makeup. Now it is the 9th day and I have just changed the closet back to male, the nail polish is gone, the wonderful 9 days are over. Well, almost, I am sitting here in a little dress, the last item to be put away later today. Shucks!

My toe nails have had polish on them for probably four solid weeks now, one of the few things I figure I can usually get away with.

This past weekend. That was just under 3.5 days (approximately 82 hours).

Like a lot of responses, mine is only around 4 hours. Reason may be different though, I'm not going shopping during that time. Mostly just enough time for a couple drinks on date night, some picture taking with the wife and then sex. I'm not really watching the clock, but it feels like about the same amount of time as regular date night.
My longest stretch was 3 days, but I had to "revert" for short time each day to do things outside the house. But I still had my girly underwear on underneath. It was great and felt so let-down when I had to go back to my regular self.
34 years 2 months 10 days 14 hours 10 minutes 38 seconds and counting but then I am not a CDer.
I haven't worn mens clothing in months. This has been my MO now for years.

About 36 hours for me but be on the lookout for a new record when I retire
Same here. After I get out of the Navy, I plan to be en femme as often as possible, as long as possible.

Since May 30, 2014, I have been dressing and living as a woman. Only wore men's clothing the day after for more than an hour to go to church.
Reading some of these replies makes me realise just how lucky I have been!
The longest period I have spent as a woman is about 4 months constant!
Back in 2008, my partner went to Thailand for an extended period, and I accompanied her. We left England at the start of January, and returned at the end of April
I had been toying with the idea of taking Susan with us, and I discussed this with Chloe (my partner) and we came to the conclusion that this was going to be a 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience, so I thought "blow it", and took the barest minimum of male clothes, and packed my suitcase with everything femme - underwear, skirts, shoes, make-up etc
For the first few days there, I presented as male, while I got my barings, but then I threw caution to the wind, and emerged as Susan
I DID stand out, but that was because I am 6foot 2 in my stockinged feet, and I towered about all the Thai people I came into contact with!
It was a very enjoyable experience, although it did make me realise just how time consuming being a woman is - I had to get up about an hour before Chloe did, so I could shave, get dressed and put my face on. Doing this once a week for a night out is one thing, but doing it on a daily basis is something else!
When we returned to England, I was all set to continue living as Susan, but circumstances dictated that I had to return to the male mode, which was disappointing
People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Just like 5 hours at most... *sigh*
Live in Mexico with a Catholic and very conservative family so I have to hide this from them.
