Well I went into a major retailer looking at dresses. I have a dinner to go to and I need a new dress (well that's my excuse anyway).
So I take a cute dress off the rack and the assistant sees me and says. 'Oh that is a gorgeous dress. Please try it on! I sort of looked at her questioningly.
And she whispers, 'I want to see what it looks like on a tall thin woman because I really like it but I can't try it on as I'm staff'
Well how could I refuse!
Bravo! (How did it look??)

Sales lady of the year. :)
Well? Did you buy?
That would totally empower me to buy it regardless. Lols.
No I didn't buy it, but it was really cute. The shoulders didn't look right.
But the girl did knock on the door and ask if she could have a look.
So I'm still looking for a dress, oh the problems we face :laugh:
I don't know how it would go down in your part of the world, but I would love to wear as sari.
Besides coming is an enormous range of beautiful colours, they are so utterly adaptable.
I've seen young women wearing them is all sorts of styles, secured from the waist so they look like the most beautiful skirts you could imagine, even just belot the knee, to wraped around so they look like evening gown to die for.
There really is no right way, but the net has more styles than you could ever want.
All from a long length of the most beautiful soft material.
Being misgendered by an older bloke at Uni, but couldn't be offended. Apart from his immediate apology, I was after all in my motorcycle gear,but also he was wearing a purple knitted suit(as in with knitting needles!), and a hat that did not match, or his shoes. Camp as a field full of tents was my conclusion, all I could do to not laugh.
On three occasions at my local drinking hole, I've had men walk into the M toilet and because of the length of my hair they have recoiled thinking they were in the wrong toilet, another time at my doctors I went outside for a smoke and the receptionist told my doctor that there was a woman waiting outside, I stopped for a drink at a random place and was making my way to the toilet when a girl be-hide the bar insisted that I was going into the wrong toilet.... I am in a very gradual transition because I've been here before which makes the mistaken identity all the more fun. There is nothing like an average member of the public seeing you for who you are....
Here are some of the variety of Sari styles:

I even seen women wearing them as baggy trousers.
I had a Sari for a long time when I was still a lady :P You're right, it was by far and away my favorite piece of apparel. I could tie it up into a super sexy mini-dress, or just wear it as a gypsy style skirt with a tank top. It was the most versatile piece of cloth I ever owned. Hell, it was the only piece of cloth I could still wear when I was pregnant :laugh:
As far as the original post, my favorite unexpected comment was by a little old lady. I work at an auto parts store, and she needed help with something. But, instead of the usual, 'hey boy, can you help me?' she asked me if I would be her knight in shining armour. Ladies, pro-tip, if you EVER ask a man to be your knight, be it playful or sexy, chances are he will stop literally everything he is doing to help you. Literally. Everything. Lawd knows I did haha!! She made my day with that.
