Hi everyone!
I'm looking for advice regarding Halloween and how to best organise/plan things. For your information I've never been outside my home en femme in any way before.
As I've said in previous threads my Wife is DADT and although I've sent her pictures of me in high heels and stockings etc she's never wished to see me actually crossdress 'in real life'. I've been as honest and open with her as she will let me.
I've spoken to her on several occasions recently regarding crossdressing and halloween, and I've explained that most of my ideas for halloween this year did involve expressing my feminine side. She now seems okay with this, hasn't refused, and has simply raised practical aspects with me, such as her worries that I won't be able to actually face going out en femme due to anxiety. She's raised the issue of make up and wigs and has said she's not overly sure about helping me with things.
I've looked into costumes and purchased two so far. A demure and elegant Snow White gown and a more revealing sexy angel costume. Both fit me and I'm comfortable in both in private at home.
I have found a dressing service locally which only deals with CD/TS etc. I've found another company nearby who specialise in wigs/make up/makeovers mainly for cis females with cancer/alopecia but they appear to be friendly towards CD/TS/TG etc also.
Given that I've never been out before do you feel I should go to a cd dressing service, take the wigs I've purchased, let them 'make me over' then drive home en drab and get dressed at home. Or do I go to the specialist wig/makeup place? They are much more expensive, and you have to purchase the wig from them but I think they might be better at helping one 'pass'.
Should I brave coming home from either service in an outfit that isn't my costume but isn't drab? Perhaps a simple dress and coat? Is making my first journey outdoors en femme realistic in this manner? Would it be better done with someone with me?
I'm so over the moon that my SO is discussing the issues with me, albeit tentatively. I don't want to overwhelm her though. I've said to her that I'm happy to pay a professional to do my hair and makeup, she didn't say no or object, her main concern seemed to be whether I could cope with it or not.
I don't want to upset her or ruin her evening. I adore her and I do not want to "ruin her image of me" etc.
Any constructive advice is very welcome! Xx.
Best wishes.
Vivienne! Xx.
