Hi Everyone
My name is Jennifer and I am a m to f crossdresser. It all started when I was young, maybe 10 years old, when I decided to put on my sister's dress which she had left in the bathroom on top of the laundry hamper. She was a bit smaller than me, being a year and a half younger than me, so her dress was too small for me. But I remember barely fitting into it, but immensely enjoying the feeling of wearing a dress. I guess it made me feel very peaceful and that was one reason I enjoyed it so much.
I never really dressed up again until I was a teenager, about 18 years old. I had bought a nightgown to sleep in and I managed to keep it a secret by doing my own laundry so that my mom wouldn't find out. But, one day when I was out of the house, my mom discovered it beween my mattress and box springs when she decided to "be nice" and wash my bed sheets for me!
When I came home, she confronted me with it and I fumbled around for an explanation but then decided to just tell her that the nightgown was what I preferred to wear to bed, as it was more comfortable than my regular men's pajamas. The material was softer and smoother and the fact that it had a skirt to it meant that my pj legs wouldn't get all bunched up on my legs when I slept.
To my surprise, she didn't see anything wrong with it, 'as long as I still liked girls' (which, of course, I do, as I am definitely not gay). From then on she was willing to put it in with the laundry and I was able to just keep it in my dresser drawer like all my other clothes. What a relief.
I didn't press it, so I waited until I moved out of the house when I was 20 before I started buying dresses, lingerie, heels, makeup, jewelry, etc.
When I have more time, I will explain more about myself. Meanwhile, I like the look and the mood of this site and I hope I will be welcome here.
Jennifer
