What do you do with your old clothes?

[cindybc]

Hi Schala, what did she do with the other seven shoes that went with the first seven? "Hee, hee, hee." just ribin you. When I came out full time it was quite spontaneous I went home as my other self that evening and came out of my apartment the next morning as Cindy. I had two garbage bags in my hands containing everything I had that was male things and went to Salvation Army and exchanges the two bags of men's stuff for some ladies clothes. When I cam out on the job later that day I had a really surprise reception. The girls gave me a lot of stuff they weren't wearing anymore. I didnt have the luxury to buy a whole lot back then I was only working on  part time job, but it was a job I loved.

Yeah I got given a lot by acquaintances too, all girls who were going to throw it away anyway. Some of it is a bit too big, but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

I was already at 26 inch waist pre-transition. I went down to 25 inch.

I could wear size 12 girl clothes...but its too short. Size 14, might be too short too. Size 16, might be a bit big. Women's clothes, well its hard to find 1-2 size clothes...so I'm stuck shopping at teen shops, because children departments seem to carry little stuff for girls my size, and adults rarely have my size either >_>

...and I wanted those cute Hello Kitty panties too! but only in size 4, 6, 8 girl (I couldnt really squeeze into size 8 without leaving marks)...I'm sure in Japan they have it in adult size.

Heck, there are Hello Kitty wedding dresses.

Hi Schala
I wear 14 girls or 8 women if I can find slacks that are not to long on the legs. Petite in shirts and tops. I like tops better the opposite to when I was when I aw still the other persona. I wear 8 shoes, hmmmm ain't it no wonder I had a hard time to find anything that fit me in men's. I'm short stuff  5' 3" and 125 lbs and 36B bras. Got long hair to but I think yours is probably some longer then mine.

5'6", 111 lbs and 34A bras.

Size 1-2 or extra-small in US sizes, I don't know for elsewhere. Swimsuit/dress I'd probably be an 8 too. Shoes size 9 (though I can wear 8½ too - US shoe size, too).

My hair last I checked was 31 inch long, about waist length.

Nothing in men's, or boy's fit. It was all too baggy and too big. I was wearing medium, large and extra-large t-shirts pre-transition.

This is a medium men's t-shirt shortly before transition. It went to mid-thigh. My waist is at my elbow's length. And if you notice, I had some nail polish on, I didn't show it while outside, but didn't mind if inside (meaning inside but elsewhere, not at home).

The t-shirts easily hid my small waist. The pants...well, without a very tight belt, and I seldom wore belts unless I really had to, would fall off. I'd have to bring them back up (not from the ground, but they would ride down gradually) every 5 minutes, while at work. Never had such an issue with women's pants, though they also fit.

I wore all black because I didn't really care what I wore. It didn't matter since it wasn't me. Black t-shirts helped make me more invisible. Though I might have been taken for a goth by some.

Hi again Schala. Yes I have a hard time finding slacks with the legs that don't drag on the ground, now that is annoying. So at times it spells taking a trip to the seamstress to get them adjusted. But at one time I disliked and cursed my Royal pain in the butt shortness. but today I am ever grateful for the size I am, I am exactly where I am meant to be. Even having the problem with pant leg length is only a trivial irritation. Anyway if someone tries to peg a rock at me I could always duck behind Wing Walker

I wouldn't mind being shorter, 5-6 inches shorter maybe. I feel like a child, and at this height I'd probably pass for one I already pass for young enough as it is.

I feel so tall when my mom is only 5'2".

My issue is pant legs aren't long enough. They weren't really too long pre-transition, though I had to roll them sometimes. They aren't long enough when I want children sizes, girl size 12 fits my waist, but is way too short. I'd take full length and they'd look like capris...

I don't fit any size chart perfectly. Hips too small, too tall, bust too small (though less than hips). Apparently a size 1 is someone with 32/24/34, and I'm 32/25/32...so yeah 2 inch loose at the hips. Though I get confused about things like some pants work size by hips, so I can take very small sizes, and some by real waist, so I have to take a bit bigger, and I never know til I try them.

Hi Schala when I meet tall people I am tempted to ask them how the weather is at that altitude  I fit right under Wing Walkers arm when I stand beside her and I need a stool to kick a duck in the butt, "quack, quack!!!!".  My measurements are 36 - 34 - 36. At least I am not like a broom stick I was before I started transitioning. Some of that bread basket needs to get gone. Well I did start exercising today.
