Missing it

[Jodiee927]

Hi All,

Haven't dressed in a while and haven't really had the opportunity. What do you all do when you are unable to?

[Bianca Star]

Hey Jodiee. for me personally, I just go about my day to day. As much as i love dressing I have other responsibilities. Also when I finally do get some time to dress I try to make it special. I want to be able to dedicate my time and attention to dressing up, not feel rushed.

[Myra Thomas]

I take every opportunity to underdress ��

[Kris Burton]

Connect with the online community, discuss and make plans for the future. I have made that part of my overall CD experience.

I haven't come across any time yet that I can't dress in one way or another. I have slowly changed my wardrobe to a femme one that includes things like femme jeans, shorts, tees, tanks shoes and sandals that are androgynous enough not to be noticed in public. I am always underdressed, although sometimes braless.

I?m in a 10 day drought due to having guests. Overnight I can wear what I want so that helps.

[NancySue]

Like Myra, I underdress. Panties daily.

[Angie G]

Back when I couldn't dress when I wanted I hated the time I couldn't. For the last 19 years I can dress. whenever I want. I talked to my wife about it. It started out small but went big.
Love Angie

Depending upon your definition of not being able to dress for a while would influence my answer. If you mean outer wear, makeup, wig, etc., I just live with it. However, because I sleep every night with bra, forms, nighty, and panties on, I'm never completely without dressing. Even when we're away from home, I take those essentials with me.

For various reasons, usuallly work related, I have had to refrain from dressing for some extended periods. So, I simply had to deal with it. But when I had some free time, I would internet shop for lingerie and other items that I would wear if I had the opportunity. That seemed to help.

[Brenda Freeman]

I look at photos, past memories. This helps for those times when I cannot dress and provides ideas and motivation for the future.

[Cheryl T]

When I can't I spend time thinking about when I can and what I will wear.
I also spend more time watching women and what they are wearing. Yes, it's sort of self-abuse, but what else am I to do?

I shop online

For years I had to push away this part of myself. About 8 years ago thanks to therapy I learned this is just who I am, and with that knowledge also came acceptance.
My second wife is also accepting, but life can be tough so there have been months maybe longer that I wasn't able to dress up. During these periods of time I know now that I must not fall back in pushing back my other side, but to find a way to make room for my feminine side.
So I underdress, even at work, nobody is going to know.
I keep legs shaved, pubic hair shaved in a feminine style.
Sometimes nailpolish on toenails.
I look online for clothing, I buy clothing on local flea markets.
I plan a day working from home when kids are away or at least several hours in school so I can dress up (only without makeup).
I chat with likeminded girls on Instagram or on this forum.
I plan new outings like going to a T-night that is organized around the country, or going to a pride, or planning a weekend away with my wife where Annemarie comes along for at least one day that weekend (we did go to Germany last year for 4 days).
Find a way to treat your inner girl because deep down you know you need this because of who you are. It is called self love.
Keep it up ladies!

I've always found it interesting that there seems to be a certain tension about crossdressing for me. There are times when I wish it would go away. Them, when the desire goes away for a time, I miss it and want it to come back. Such is life !

[Sabine Janus]

I edit my pictures to see me through. Otherwise, too much going on in this life. Acts as a distraction.
