First time buying clothes... :)

[Ashley Allison]

I am trying to be more honest with myself, and I bought some women's clothes for the first time last night... I consider myself Transgender MTF, so I am considering this in some way out there a small step. I have stolen some clothes from my sisters in the past, but I want something that actually fits ME and not their small bodies.  To be honest, I am getting it in a discrete way by buying it on the internet, and picking it up at the store.  But, I am really excited I think this is one step for the future... I got this dress: [url]http://www.rei.com/product/780235/url] , and I bought this bra [url]http://www.rei.com/product/778700/url] ... I know, I know it is a sports bra (I think I am going to fill it with rice).  This bra was the best one I could find, and get in this confidential manner.  Does anyone know of any places that I could discretely order good bras for a transgirl who is pre-hormones just starting out?

I think I am doing this namely to see how I look, and to test the water... Actually, I am really excited about this I am considering it my bday present to myself in some ways.  I am hoping the dress kind of covers up my shoulders, and hopefully the bra does not stick out of the neckline.  I have a little bit of make up, again stolen from the sisters, but I might try to buy some at the supermarket if I ever muster up the courage.  Anyways, from someone who is just beginning, this is really exciting for me

Always,

Oops, sorry about the hyperlinks, just starting out on the sight so not too sure about getting them in there

hi Fora
buying make up is easy go to a targets or something like that and just pick some up its frightening the first time but in reality most people could care less just makesure you match it to your skin tone. start with the basics like concealer and powder brand of your choice buy a couple and go with it after that first trip it gets a whole lot easier no one is going to laugh you out of the store and if they look at you weird so what... they will get over it. our biggest enemy is our own fears most people are to wraped up in the own little world to care what your doing. i also used clear nail polish for a while less noticeable but if your young you can get away with a lot of colors saying its a teen thing or whatever lol

For boobs, Anne Summers cleavage enhancers, £20 for a pair, supposed to give you 1 more cup size but on my flat chest they are comparable to my friends B-cup

Condoms full of rice or balloons full of rice work well for boobies.
Or if you have the time and energy, doubled condoms full of hair gel.

Thanks for the tip! I had made crudely round shaped 'breasts' out of rice and bags... So I just tried your tip and transferred the rice to condoms... Look BEAUTIFUL Anyways, looking forward to trying it on!

And Jesse, this morning I went and bought concealer and foundation... :0) Both of them come in this cream form, and their website is saying to apply it with your fingertips.  Yet, other websites are saying to apply it with a sponge? Not sure on this one.  Took definitely some courage to buy it, actually had to look if no one was looking... Then went through the self checkout. Can't wait to buy some more!

Nice dress.  I would like to myself one too.   I remember when I bought my first bra and panties at swap meet when I was in high school.  I was nervous and excited.  It would bee a decade later when I bought women's clothes again at my local Wal-Mart, and yes, I was scared, nervous, and sweating getting what I wanted.

Nowadays, I love going to the mall and browsing through the store looking for clothes I might enjoy wearing.  I think it is much more fun than ordering online, but I so understand the need to be discreet.

Good luck with your new clothes.
