My story

[AmberM]

I first started dressing when I was around 13 years old and I was drawn to my mother's clothes. Naturally curious I started with a matching white bra and panty set. The bra I had to stuff with tissues because I had nothing to fill it. I also had difficulty with the bra at first because of managing the back straps. The panties were easy because all I had to do was just put it on. Searching through the closet, I had to find a dress or a skirt. I was drawn to a cute little black dress. I slid it on and I felt like a princess   . I couldn't stop at the clothes I had to apply makeup. I applied some soft red lip stick. The feel of it against my lips with divine. I wanted to be in those clothes forever. Eventually I did caught and had a discussion with my parents. Luckily they are understanding. As the years passed, I stopped cross dressing for a time. It was not until this month (at the age of 25) that my interest in cross dressing came back and I have a wonderful fiance who loves and accepts me as I am. We are planning for my first time and our first girl's night out.  I seek to bring out my inner woman.

So pleased your fiance is so accepting of you.

She sounds great.

That's terrific that you have a fiancee that supports you. I wish you all the best.

This sounds so much like my herstory

I first started dressing when I was around 13 years old...  I started with a matching white bra and panty set. The bra I had to stuff with tissues...  I have a wonderful fiance who loves and accepts me as I am.

Hi, Lauren. 
I was also fortunate to have a supportive fiance and we lived happily together for 35 years.  She taught me ever so much about me being me and never hesitated to call out for Susan when she knew I had been in hiding for too long. 

There is great joy in finding your inner woman – whether in the privacy of your own home or out and about, just let it happen.  Take your time together and explore just who Lauren is.  Times may not always be smooth but that is what life is made of.

What a great story. Sounds like you found the perfect woman. What happened this month that reignited your crossdressing desires?

[AmberM]

I desire to cross dress because it allows me to express my inner woman. Me and my fiance know that I am a very feminine man and I love embracing my inner woman.  My fiance says that I would make a great woman.

Thats great.
I dream for a woman to except me.
I'm happy to hear there are some woman who support their man/woman.

[AmberM]

I'm sure somewhere out there there's that perfect woman who will seek you out, and who will love you and accept you as you are.

very nice story, but better the fortune of you and your fiance understanding. congrats, and dont make it too long for the wedding there are not many girls like this one you got, as it is said "shes a keeper"

in another thing, i was surprised you didnt mentioned pantyhose, or high heels, those two items were the ones that i got much more attention to the cd thing, i love the sensation of those two items together, and the rest is to complete the equation and feel the total intensity and exciting of the femininity look.

I just wanted to ask you why you and many members got first attracted to panties and bra? first.
cheers

I was drawn to panties and bras because I wanted to start with something simple, and they make me feel comfortable and feminine. My favorite panties are made with silk and it feels good around my hips and makes me very happy. In terms of a bra I just want something that's comfortable and makes me feel confident. I haven't tried any heels yet because I don't know my size yet. When I do get my heels I want to have maybe a couple inches of height.  Pantyhose I'm not sure of because I heard it creates rips and it's hard to put them on. Maybe one of the girls would be able to help this sister out.

Here's a start, I'm sure others will want to chime in, too. 

Womens shoe sizes in the US are usually about 2 larger than mens.  A good rule of thumb is to add 1 to 1-1/2 open toes shoes, for closed toe shoes add 2.  So if you wear a 9, try womens size 10 for sandals, 11 for pumps.  Most women's shoes are made for an average "B" width (like I have but that also makes finding guy shoes a hassle) but many are available in wider widths.  Some web sites also sell womens shoes in mens sizes. 
Start with 2 to 3 inch heels until you get used to walking in them.  That also brings up walking like a lady which is a whole different subject... 
Panty hose and tights can be a pain but also wonderful on your skin.  Unless your hands are rough as sandpaper, take it easy putting them on, you should be OK.  Start at the toes and ease them up gradually – don't try to pull them up from the top like socks!

In a males size shoe I'm a 12 if that helps. Hopefully there are stores that caters to girls with larger feet.
