first time dressing questions

[noleen111]

Hello all

I slowly getting ready to completely dress as a woman for the first time, as mentioned previously I only have worn pantyhose and a panty.  My dress is on order :-).

Two questions actually

My Breasts, what recommendations are there for creating breasts to wear,

I dont want to buy breast forms yet, as I get more into cross dressing, I will properly invest in a pair.

Shaving my legs,

Is a woman's razor ok, or should I rather wax. I want to look nice in my dress, as it a above the knee length and I am going to wear pumps so a large portion of my legs as going to exposed, besides the pantyhose I will be wearing.

If necessary, I wear nude bras which cost less than $10. I usually wear it under tight athletic tees. Sports nude bras are available in my country, and the ad says they evaporate sweat very well.

Razor would be more convenient. In my case, I sometimes use a laser hair remover called epila. Epila is time consuming and does not completely root out hairs, but makes hair thiner, less noticeable.

Funny thing is that when Halloween rolls around, I giggle about the 1st time I went out 'en femme' I was 13 & we had just moved into a new city & apt complex. It was a day or 2 before Halloween. I bugged Mom if she had any money for a costume? She said that she used all the money for food, rent etc but she would get paid in 3 Nov. On Halloween I bugged her again. She shot back "the only clothes we have is your older sister Shasta's & what we brought in suitcases.
You want to go trick or treating? Go as a Girl!" I would have been painted blue &gone as naked Smurf to go trick or treating. So at 430 Mom had me Nair shower. She laid out a pair of Shasta's bra & panties. Shasta is about 15 months older than me. Some say we look like twins. After drying off & putting on the underwear, I made sure no one was home, but Mom & walked out. She giggled & said that Id make a cute 4th daughter. After putting her falsies in my bra? she had me put on one of Shasta's dresses, knee socks. She then had me sit as she pinned a honey blonde wiglet to my head. We both have honey blonde hair. As the makeup went on, I looked more like a girl. At 630 Mom handed me a paper sack & said "Have Fun!" & pushed me out the door. As the door slammed, reality hit. I took a deep breath. I thought to myself "What if someone recognizes me?" I then said "So what, no one knows you're a guy in a dress. So I went trick or treating. I decided to hang w/ some parents & little kids & let them do the talking. At 8 or so I decided to go home because the pickings were getting low. Totally forgetting I was 'en femme' I opened the door & there was Shasta, Cindy (Middle Sister) & 2 girls I didn't know. Mom looked at me & said "So Bridget How was trick or treating?"   Shasta then said "Share the loot, twerp" I dumped out my candy because I didn't want Shasta or Cindy to rat me out. I grabbed a few pieces of candy & went to my room. A bit later Shasta came in & I asked if she wanted her clothes back. She went EEEWWWW  No, now that my perv brother's been wearing them." I slept in the underwear & falsies but returned Moms wiglet. My CDing stayed dormant until I met Vikki in Aug 12. Not sure why but I started up again. Maybe it was her. She is a very strong willed person. I have trusted her guiding me thru my transition time. Which may end in early 16.

I agree with Barbie, Shaving gives the best look. I wax my legs as it is only a monthly process where shaving is a lot more regular. I am not in a position to go out fully dressed so waxing works for me and I enjoy the salon experience.
When I was shaving I was using my standard Gillette 4 blade mens razor with no complications.

I would also recommend getting breast forms as they look and feel great. I went to a fun golf day in the last week and was dressed as a woman and used my forms. Comments were that my breasts looked better than most of the other lady members. I had to go more as a bloke in drag with no makeup etc as no one knows of my true self. Since it was a mixed day event and we did not have a lady for our team then I decided to be one.

If you aren't ready for brest forms I used to use water balloons filled with water.  They are a round and fit in a bra nicely.  Of course, don't get them close to needles.

Very exciting!

For bra's I generally buy Push-Up bra's that adds 2 cup sizes.  It has a good amount of padding built in, so I don't even need to stuff, and it looks pretty good.  Granted that limits to the clothes I can wear, like V necks, or anything that will expose cleavage.

For the legs, I just used Veet for the first time today, and found it to work better than saving.  I also have sensitive skin, razors also seem to irritate me.  So happy Veet works with me, plus you can use it on your arms, armpits, and bikini line area.  People say Veet will allow you to go longer between shaves.

Water balloons and underwire bras don't mix...  If you must use water balloons, double or triple bag them for safety.  I had a friend who had an embarrassing accident while dancing. 

I use push up bras but I also put a pair of "chicken cutlet" bust enhancers ($15-$30 online at various places) in under my breasts to push them up and in, and then add a little medical tape to bring them even more up and in and hold everything in place.  Add a little "light and shadow" makeup on my chest and, even though I am not on hormones yet, I can get some cleavage going and wear V necks and low cut tops.

Home made Breast forms
Buy yourself a cheap box of birdseed and a pair of cheap pantyhose, cut the foot ends(usually stronger) off the pantyhose/Stockings to the size breast you want and fill with birdseed, once you have the desired size, weigh it and make sure the next one has the same amount of birdseed in it by weight. Tie off with a knot, which when positioned correctly, looks like a nipple. They have weight , so move with you, they warm up really quickly, and you can make them fit any shape.

or

Instead of water in balloons use the stuff you find in diapers and mix with a little water to form a gel like substance until desired consistency, again they will give weight and a more natural feel.

Personally I liked the birdseed ones because they were simple and effective. As far as shaving goes I use a woman's brand razor because I find it better for overall body hair especially the more tricky area's...If I could afford it I would have an all over wax once a month...

Definitely agree with using a women's shaving razor. Much easier to handle and tend to last longer

12" XL helium quality balloons and get a gel type shampoo with a pump head on it. All in would cost about $7. You only fill them till they start to slightly stretch and then tie them off. Stuff them into a bra and good to go. They'll warm to body temperature and are remarkably durable and will last a few days before they start to weep. You'll also find they have a nice fragrance and will give a lively motion/bounce. With the rubber latex consistency, you can pull up your pecs for cleavage without tape and they'll stay in place.

I am an advocate for waxing. It will be smoother and last longer. Just make sure you plan it a couple days in advance, so that your skin can calm down after waxing. If you prefer to shave, I like Alba Botanica creame shave. Way less irritation... and women's razor. A men's razor will dull after 1 leg.

I would say that you should avoid birdseed, water balloons, socks, breast forms etc. inside your bra. These can look unnatural and perhaps lead to a "wardrobe failure", or embarrassment if you are lucky enough to be groped (it can happen).

Simply wear a padded plunge bra, with perhaps modest pair of "chicken fillets" to enhance your shape. Don't forget that  even flat chested men can easily fill an A cup plunge brassiere!

Choose preferably a bra colour which will clearly show that you are en femme and in a bra. A white bra under a white top will make a very bold statement. A nude bra under your top will be far more modest, and if the top is tight, it may just display the buckles of your bra straps, which might be sufficient to create the impression you desire!

First time dressing at home or out in public. Two completely different scenarios for me.  I went out to a drug store for a few items   Outfit was basic passed with my voice Hugs Shannon

To start socks are ok or maybe even fill baloons with a little water to give you the feel of your breasts moving
Again to start shaving is ok

If you can afford breast forms, they are the way to go.  Nothing like them, although I'm guessing hormones or BA are even better, albeit more permanent.
