First time to ''Cross-dress''

[Nimbikarana]

Hi. I have a male body; i also have MPD, and 6 of my 8 personalities are females. They wish to wear female clothes (since the clothes match their identity, i don't consider it cross-dressing as such). So, we're working up the courage to go shopping. A few hints from y'all would be very very helpful.

1) How to keep a confident face and not be all nervous or giggly thereby making it *obvious* they're for ''me''.

2) What sizes of things to get. Some info...
~ medium build
~ fairly good chest muscles
~ we want bras, panties, shirts, jeans, the lot.

It would be great to walk in and buy a size (whatever) and not need to go through the extra drama of trying things on in the shop.

Your help is greatly appreciated Thanks on behalf of the team.

the best thing to do is to be blunt with the sails clerk, if its an older person they will help you its best to bring a female friend along to help.

or you can bring a friend along with you eyeball size you and go off guess work...and have her check out with your cash and be on your way to femail dressing fun...

 

[Nimbikarana]

also...

Um, just to clarify....I don't actually HAVE any friends IRL Also, I don't have a credit card, so online shopping is out.

Are you serious or is this some sick joke?

Be brave! I find it quite exciting to shop for myself pretending it is for my wife. I like to choose large supermarkets away from my home town but have been to small specialist lingerie shops too. I found that average size man fits nicely into size 16 clothes.
Go for it and enjoy!!

Pulling strings is calling in favors. I beleive you emant yanking my chain or something of that nature.

Anyway, I still think you're full of shit, but if you're not your doctor(s) wouldn't be too happy to know that you're supporting the existence of these other personalities.

 

[Nimbikarana]

went shopping! grabbed 16's in everything and a 32b. (figured 2x16). [Thanks a heap Blackslip!]

Got a skirt, 2 shirts, and underwear. And to my astonishment, I look good

ok for some reasion I cant find the pics of me in my halloween outfit...

If I had some brest forms I could pass as a woman....Iam about a size 19(iam a large fella).

and my 38C bra I can fill out some one decently with my man boobs.

I got one of them tummy tuckers(strapless garter), ankel length skirt really short sleeved tight low cut neck shirt.

and oh aI had a friend of mine all over me cause she was convinced I looked like a girl.

I just need to lose some weight then start on my transformation and clothing shopping some more.

welcome to the world of cross dressing, its a fun road to travel.

If you're nervous or "giggly" about buying clothes in a store, use catalogs or buy online.

Nice thing about shopping in person though is that you're more likely to get a better fit.

I'm a transsexual and generally don't have any trouble shopping for clothes... but when i was younger and first starting out i was very cautious about such things. As someone suggested, it's probably wisest to inform the sales people about who you are and your intentions. As a drag queen friend of mine used to say, "If your money is green, they're only too happy to take it, no matter who you are."
