how dolled up do you get for your therapy appointment

[stephaniec]

I just go as my everyday wear. a nice casual dress and light make up and sometimes fish net stockings and flats. One of these days if I ever find a beautiful fancy dress or lace dress I'm going to do that just for fun.

[Emjay]

It's pretty much just every day wear for me, something casual and comfy. 

[jeni]

Not at all, whatever I'm wearing, don't even think about it. For me, it's a place that's supposed to be comfortable so thinking about dressing for it would be counterproductive.

Whatever I wore to work that day; business casual (anything from pants and a top to a dress with heels...depends on my mood and the laundry situation. ), unless it's Friday, then casual.

I usually go during mid morning, so I go to work first, as a guy...  I wear girl pants and heels and earrings and nail polish and sometimes a little makeup to work though, lol!  I also carry my purse now.  I'm so over this hiding thing, but I'm not outright coming out about it at all yet to people at work.

I have been known to change into a bra and girls shirt in the car before going to see my therapist though, then changing back before heading back to work...

[stephaniec]

I just had my appointment today. I wore a little make up and a nice casual dress and my boots. She said I looked very pretty.

[JenAtLast]

If I am going to work, I am dressed as a guy as I am not out there yet.

If I am off or working from home, I will usually wear something nice more in celebration of the freedom than anything....normally a casual dress or skirt, but sometimes just girl jeans and a cute top.  Just depends.

I think I only wore makeup to my therapy appointment once. And it was because she requested it, because she wanted to see how I'd look with it before she signed off on my declaration of gender change form for the BMV.

Aside from that, I've worn semi-decent clothes like once also, again, because I wanted to show her my work attire. Aside from that it's consistently just been t-shirts, jeans, and no makeup, not even really making an effort to look half-decent or "dolled up" at all.

I'm not very fashionable. What can I say?

[Emileeeee]

I used to get all gussied up for them, but now I just grab a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I don't even care which gender the clothing is for anymore. I'm me no matter what I wear and it didn't stop me from finally getting that letter.

[Mariah]

Whatever I feel like wearing that day is what I wore when I was still in therapy regularly.  I never went out of my way to dress up for them. Hugs

Pretty much this, except that I don't really wear pants anymore. I don't really like heels much either.

Before I went full time I was more androgynous because I had to conceal my clothing.

Hi Stephanie,

I tend to put makeup on and my casual women's clothes on.  I haven't transitioned and don't ever get to talk to anyone as my true self.  Both of my therapists are great letting me dress at their offices before the appointment.   It just makes me feel more at ease when I talk to them about gender issues.

Pretty much what I wear everyday which has been shorts and a tank top with sandals since summer came around.

[Zoetrope]

I wouldn't say dolled up, but I always made a point of seeing therapists dressed as a girl, even before I got approved.

It was one of many things I did to strengthen my case. I ended up being approved within 3 months.

[JLT1]

I go there from work.  Depending on what I'm doing at work, it can be business formal to jeans and no makeup.

Before I fell out of the closet I dressed male, then I fell out and have dressed however I was going to dress that day, though I do often use that day to try new things, like today I wore a dress for the first time. But no not anything special but nothing special just my usual 2ish hours of getting ready between waking up and leaving the house.

I've never presented as female in my life. The plan is to just go as male until I can pass.

[Oriah]

I dress to the 9's when I go.  Any excuse to get dolled up is a good one, right?

[KaylaMadison]

My very first one I went in male mode. My next one I went all out, after that i just sort of went casual. Sadly I had to cut my sessions due to finances, really need to get back on that horse, but when i do i'll keep it casual, i love to dress up but most of my sessions end up being 2-4 hours away and being dolled up for that long starts to get uncomfortable lol

Ahh one of the great truisms "beauty is pain"
