Hmm, does that even make sense? Well, it doesn't matter. I wonder what other people's thoughts are on this, and whether it's a stage which most of you have gone through.
At the monent, I wear many articles of womans cloths, but I don't dress to look look explicitly female (although I do look feminine as a consequence - not a bad thing of course!) Let me explain (warning: long post ahead! Like I said elsewhere, this is the first time I'm talking about this sort of thing, so I have a lot to say! I hope you don't mind if I get my 'story' off my chest.)
For me, it just started with gloves. Womans gloves are so much more elegant than mens! I love the shape they give my hands. Next, it was coats - my mum was going to give one of her old coats to a charity shop, but I asked to take it for myself. After a small objection from her of 'but it's a womans coat,' it was mine! Slightly too big, so I nipped it at the waist a bit more using my meager sewing skills. After seeing the curve of my back reflected in my coat, and seeing that beautiful hourglass shape... there's no going back to those shapeless mens coats.
Next came knee-high socks. But as far as I'm concerned, there's no difference between womans and mens socks, except womans come in much funkier designs. And under trousers, who'll know how far they go?
Now we're getting nearer the present. A few recent shopping trips for new trousers ended completely unsuccessfully. Upon deciding that they don't make mens trousers with a 36" leg, I decided to look at the womans sections. What do you know, a perfect fitting pair straight away!
But then there was the problem of... y'know... bulging. So I learned how to tuck. Feeling like that ugly thing isn't hanging around down there is sooo great! Inevitably the womans underwear came (just days ago, actually.) I can't believe how comfortable it is! Although I got the sizes a little wrong, that just means I get to buy more, yay!
Oh, I should also mention that I've been growing my hair since I was 16 (nearly 24 now) and I straighten it.
(Hmm, I see now that that's not much of a story. It basically boils down to me liking to look feminine but not having to confidence to try and look like an actual female.)
But, as of right now at least, that's where it ends (thank you for reading this far, by the way!) Here you have a guy wearing womans everything, except for shirt and shoes (although, I did very recently buy a 38" pair of trousers because they'd look great in heels...) A guy wearing womans clothes... without trying to look like a woman. Is this a normal stage crossdressers go through? Perhaps a diet flavour of crossdressing? If anybody else went through this sort of phase, how long before you went all the way?
