I just passed my first year on HRT. It's the beginning of another optimistic year. I have about 10 dresses and a few tops and jeans. My New Years resolution Is to finally purchase at least one real nice dress. I'm on a very tight budget , but I think the psychological benefits of a great dress are worth the sacrifice. Anyone else have plans to splurge  on a incredible beautiful dress for the coming year.

As a consummate Thrift Store shopper with quite a few dress, skirts, plenty of tops and even some jeans I do splurge. For me spending any big $$$ is painful between my upbringing, current financial situation, and guilt since I am not full-time.

I take the same approach to clothes shopping as I do for my diet. I tend to gain weight from just smelling food. So I really watch what and how much I eat while never denying myself my treats. I even stuff myself on that occassional great dish I cook up, or pizza. Much the same for clothing. Most of my stuff comes from thrift shops yet I have spent upwards of $100 for a dress that I just had to have. Plus it looking GREAT on ME. I get some pangs of guilt but I remind myself of how little I do spend on clothes. When most of my dresses cost like $5-$10, how can I feel bad about spending $80? Sort like eating

I have 7 dresses right now but I'm starting to get worried that I won't fit in them this summer. I was pretty big and since I found out hypothyroid was making it hard to lose weight I've lost like 10 lbs already I'm not even sure it's been a full month. I might have to buy all new ones this spring.

I have a several dresses, most of them donated to me by friends shortly after I came out, but overall, there is only one dress I feel comfortable in. For whatever reason, dresses make me very self concious about my shoulders. Blouse and skirt? Just fine, dress, nope, I feel like I'd be  clocked before I even got out the door >_<

I've been buying all my dresses off the clearance rack at Target. 10$ or less , they're decent , but I'm getting an intense desire to get a really nice one. I've been trying to hold off because I'm trying to get my weight down, which has been pretty hard to do. I'm just trying to slowing inch a way with smaller portions.

How many? Nowhere near enough!

It can be quite a curse. As a male I was totally happy with one t shirt and a pair of blue jeans

I own 3 dresses, several skirts, tops and jeans. And let's not go into shoes..... [emoji5]

I own about 5 - 6 dresses but only actually wear 2 or 3. I am a bigger fan of short skirts of which I have many and a multitude of tops to go with them. I love to mix and match different looks.

Think 4, just had one return from Oklahoma I lost at a friends reception last year!

I only have one dress.

Just four for now. I may acquire some after Christmas

I prefer skirt/top combos to dresses that being said I do own something like 10 dresses. I wear them somewhat regularly too.

I have about 4 or 5 dresses, 3 are more of the evening gown type (black of coarse) that can be de-formalized by adding a leather jacket and boots.  Several items I have bought are for future wear as changes permit, like short leather mini's, I have worn them but thigh high socks are needed, not yet that confident.  Socks are one thing I have been going crazy buying, I have an entire large drawer full of never worn thigh high socks  .   Dani

No where near the number I want. Early on I focused on skirts and blouses. I have 3 dresses so far.

While my son ordered his winter coat at ca. US$ 280 yesterday, my dresses are mostly < US$50, with > US$100 in a few cases.

A dozen or so.  You can never have too many nice dresses, right?  Tomorrow I'm going to the Brian Setzer Xmas concert in my lucky polka dot rockabilly dress.  Brian high-fived me last year when I was wearing it, and at another concert Buddy Guy gave me his guitar pick when I wore it. 

I love love love that dress.

I could see this

Just 1 dress, a few blouses, and plenty of short, revealing skirts. 

I'm much more of a skirts girl...I especially love a-line skirts.  I'm a size 16 up top and 12 on bottom, so separates work better for me.  But that said, I do have 6 or 7 dresses.  I love the look of dresses with cardigans.
