I have never liked and never will like washing clothes, hanging them out to dry and putting them away. It has to be done but always feels like such a slow laborious process. So the other week I just happened to have the chance to be fully femme when washing day came along. First things first I dressed in some casual female clothes makeup and wig and then put on the washing. As I was in my femme happy place I didn't seem to mind putting the washing on and actually liked being outside in the courtyard (which is quite private) while I hung the clothes out to dry. The next day the basket full of clean clothes was there on the floor of our bedroom. I didn't want to even think about it. Then I got the idea as I never get the chance to go out anywhere in any of the formal outfits I have. (even though I do get out a fair bit in more casual clothes)  If I have if I have to put the clothes away at least do it in style. So I dressed in my black cocktail dress shiny pantyhose and these gorgeous black velvet stilettos and started putting the washing away. I actually enjoyed the walks from the bed where the basket was to our walk in robe in the stilettos and in no time all the clothes were away.

Does anyone else dress femme when doing any chores around the house? And for those girls who are femme 24/7 are there any chores that you don't mind as much now you are full time femme?

@oliviac I do a lot of washing etc. while working from home, so I do that sort of thing dressed regularly anyway.

I do find that those tasks are more pleasant when done en femme. I think however that’s because I prefer doing most things en femme anyway.

I hang the washing out on the line dressed as Lucy sometimes. Our garden is relatively private, but not 100%, so it does add a little excitement/fear to a mundane job.

@lucyb112 Our courtyard where I hang our clothes out is the same. Private but not totally so it is a tad exciting. I have pre prepared my answer in case anyone mentions the woman they saw in our courtyard or driving out the driveway that my sister was visiting.

@oliviac LOL!....Olivia, I, too, sometimes enjoy the household chores and dare to venture out onto the backyard deck while en femme.  My readied my responses for the inquisitive next door neighbors, you ask?....Thus far, I have 'my lady friend' and  'the cleaning lady'. I must and will  add 'my sister' to my other 'female visitors'....Now, she needs a name....LOL.

Sincerely and With Love,

Thea

IDK.  If I'm going to the trouble of looking good, it absolutely will be for a night out.  Chores get done in comfy clothes I can afford to ruin.  Yes I'm trans

@oliviac I do my best cleaning when dressed. If my wife knows I'm going to be home alone she will request the maid to come by and clean up. I never complain when she asks me to dress.

I don't dress specifically to do chores, but I'll do chores when I'm dressed!

I'm an office worker who works at home most days. I dress for a few hours one day each week when I'm alone while my wife is at her place of work. I do the washing up and make the bed, do some dusting and vacuuming, and occasionally some ironing if there is any. Oh, and I do my day job, with my laptop on my lap. It all seems far more pleasurable en femme.

@oliviac Omg , this is so me. I’m not a big fan of cleaning the house but when I’m dressed in my feminine clothes I don’t mind it at all. My wife and sister in law both comment on how they can’t believe I do all the cleaning, vacuuming , washing the floors and many loads of laundry fully dressed and sometimes in heels . They think it’s cute when I do it bud say they would break an ankle moving around the way I do while cleaning or going up and down the stairs to the laundry room. Just last weekend my wife wasn’t feeling good so asked if I would mind cleaning for her . I didn’t do it on the Friday evening when she asked but waiting to Saturday morning after grocery shopping when kids were away so I dressed up and did the whole house and 3 loads of laundry. Yes I’ve done if in yoga pants and a comfy sweater as well and still enjoy it. Not sure why but I do enjoy and have no problem at all doing things around the house while in Ashley mode so much more.

@oliviac Elizabeth always appears for housework time. Makes doing housework more enjoyable and I’m always content when dressed.

@oliviac My late wife proved to be accepting and supportive of my crossdressing after she discovered my proclivity by chance and over the years nurtured the woman in me.

However, she early on pointed out that if I was to be a more complete woman, I would not only sit in beauty salons and prance around all dolled up but would have to immerse myself in the social world of a woman, including taking over the domestic running of the household with shopping trips, cooking, cleaning, laundry and ironing, etc.

This worked out very well as I came to revel in the feeling of being the "woman in the house" and I learnt to enjoy dusting, mopping, laundry, etc.

At some point, my wife told me to wear a "house dress" when doing the domestic chores as this was the most comfortable and practical garment for the job. Indeed, she handed down to me some of hers. (She had always given me some of her panties to wear but these tended to be a bit worn by the time I got them and so we started going to the shops together to get me "my own panties").

Ever since that time, I seem to be unable to get through some domestic chores except when wearing a panty and a simple, comfortable dress - or one of my night dresses.

Now that she is no longer around, I have had to do these chores anyway and they have become routine (rather than some thrilling encounter with my inner woman) but when dressed en femme, I find that they become an easy and enjoyable part of the day.

I live with my OH at her place, but work from home at my own place and stay over one night every week, which is my full-Fiona day.  I have always done all my own laundry here, which was never too bad a chore but is certainly more fun when Fiona does it 🙂  I have to wear flats to do my ironing even with a tall ironing board though.  

Other than that, this place doesn't get much love, I really ought to sack my cleaner 😉  So something else I'm going to try doing as Fiona is the kitchen, bathroom and general hoovering etc. ... the neighbours that my house is attached to are sure to enjoy that with my heels on the hard floors in every room!

I do enjoy certain chores more when dressed, but I enjoy doing pretty much anything more when dressed!  It is especially fun, though, to put on my not-to-frilly but nonetheless feminine apron on to cook, and I do love to cook.  My wife thinks me in an apron is funny, but doesn't complain because she loves my cooking.  

I did recently start a task I've been dreading, that of getting my armoire of mostly drab things organized.  I decided it would be a much more tolerable task if I did it dressed, and it was!  My wife was out with her sister doing their thing while I was at home tidying.  When they got back I hung out with them for a few hours at home (My S-I-L knows about Charlotte.  She doesn't say much about my dressing besides finding it difficult to see me in makeup and a wig, but has commented favorably on some of my attire).  

I do remember seeing a cartoon showing a husband operating a vacuum in a maid's outfit, with his wife and a female friend looking on.  The wife is saying, "Yeah, I know, but he loves doing the housework now!"

If I don't like doing something, I just don't like it regardless of how I am dressed.   Now I have gotten to the point where I am dressing multiple times per week and doing my normal things so there are plenty of opportunities to do things I don't like as my authentic self.  On the other hand, I also get to do things I love, like shopping.  You just have to take the bitter with the sweet.

I have changed the bed, done laundry and run the vaccuum while dressed. It is fun doing that, unfortunately I don't get to do it very often.

When I travel for work and get to my hotel, it has usually been some time since I have dressed. Upon arrival, I always make a clothes switch and contentedly unpack, hang up my clothes and organize my room - sometimes with a drink. It always amazes me how happy I am to take my time and enjoy the feelings that it brings.😊

If there are any household chores to do when I've a chance to dress, then they'll be done. I like to do them; the sort of things I do are washing up, putting out the rubbish, doing washing, hanging up clothes on airers, vacuuming the floors/carpets.

Outfit wise I'll wear something day-to-day - usually a skirt and top. Once the chores are done I'll change my outfit before going out for a walk.

I am blessed with being dressed 24/7 so chores are a necessity so it is the norm. However on a lazy day I might do the chores in my nightie and even in my underwear although modest enough to wear a slip and do recall my mum doing it in that style back in the day...

I hate doing any house work unless I’m dressed - ironing, vacuum cleaning, emptying the dishwasher, laying the table, making the beds, but even exercising in my home gym.  I have also gotten used to doing my paid work dressed (over the covid lockdown and subsequently home work days) that I now find it difficult to work at the office when Ι am not dressed!  I my wife is supportive of my dressing, especially since I do my fair share of the house chores.

I definitely do. I also plan outfits that I will wear after I finish a long run. I make deals like I will run 20k and then I will wear something special or something I love.

Living full time means I'm always dressed when doing things around the house. The only thing I usually do differently is wearing just a bra and panty when I vacuum.

Interesting concept of enjoying dressing while doing chores. I wonder if it belies a subconscious / concious chauvinism of what we believe are female / male chores. Having said this - I admit I do. Though we do our washing at a laundromat, so no dressing enfemme while doing the laundry..

That's something Peta I hadn't thought of. I grew up in a house where very much the man brought in the money so the woman does the cooking, cleaning and looks after the kids. Myself I'm not chauvinist at all and it's not something I've thought of while doing the washing as Olivia I've just been enjoying being my female self. It does however make you wonder if there is some subconscious thought process going on there.

@oliviac i think a lot of what we do is comes from a subconscious level.

This past September I had the house to myself for a few days.  The Saturday I got up, dressed in skinny jeans and blouse, and of course bra and panties and made myself some bacon and eggs.  Then I did the pile of dishes in the sink.

In the past I've done a big house cleaning dressed in a maid uniform and heels.  That was a different experience, but dressing up didn't make the chores any more fun than in guy mode.

I have certainly dressed when doing chores.  Usually not all dolled up in a dress or skirt, but I have worn casual clothing and loungewear while doing chores.  The chores I have done en femme have ranged from laundry and dishes to light home repairs.  Dressing certainly makes common household chores a more enjoyable.
