What is it about a dress that captivates us so? When I see a sexy dress in the store my body tingles. I imagine myself wearing the dress, I imagine myself looking as good as the woman I see wearing it.
The perfect swoop of a well tailored dress, revealing just enough to entice, hugging my body like a lover. The femininity of it captures my imagine, and lights a fire in my soul. To be such a delicate creature as to wear this dress. That is divine.
You may ask me why I feel this way. To that I’m not sure. As surely as the need to breathe and express life in this world I need to wear this dress. Is this wrong? Wrong would be to deny who I am.



Vanessa is a happily married 30 year old transgendered woman from Seattle. It's been a long road to acceptance for her, despite the fact that she has been crossdressing for more than 25 years. Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror she longs to see the girl that lives
within her.

If we take the fact you are male out of the picture
then it is less mysterious why you feel that way.
(I am female by the way)
I know many men who are not cross dressers but do lament their woeful lack of choice of fabric, colour and shape in mens clothing. NOT all cultures are like the West in the regard. There are others where the mens clothes are every bit as fabulous as a womans, jewells and sequins etc.
Can a man get tingly over a t-shirt or pair of jeans, extremely unlikely! So if a man was to have any tingle interest in clothes then surely it’d be something with a bit more vavavooooooom.
I know a chap who recently got very excited about his trousers which have straps and pockets and even a tiny bit of lace trim round one of those pockets.
If as a person you are a creative,visual and tactile then it’s natural to get excited when something meets that criteria. Most men perhaps would exercise their desire for that dress by buying it for the wife and enjoying seeing and touching it while on her.
Some like yourself prefer to experience it more directly for yourself.
It’s not easily explainable as you say, but I think our restrictive, plain and blah (when it comes to mens clothes) culture perhaps has much to answer for.
I have lots and lots of skirts and different styles of tops and they are my normal look both at home and out and about. But,when I wear a dress[my wife has made some and reworked others] I get a different feeling.I can only describe it as what comes from being encased in a truly feminine outfit and totally committed to it..I love the look but as I am muscular in the shoulders,it isn’t every dress that looks right as I feel like Shrek when I try an outfit that doesn’t work. Happy dressing,Rogina
