<p style="text-align: left;">Hi ladies.... I have a complete newbie question... What does "in drab" mean? I kind of assumed it just meant in "male" clothing, but it seems to mean something else.  Sorry if it's a dumb question... :(</p>

Hi Rachel, I'd say that "In drab" means not visibly crossdressed or perhaps simply in "male" clothing. I don't think it has any other meaning.  Lesley.

I had never heard the term either before I joined.I think it is now a very appropriate term for male clothing when I look into my black/brown/blue/gray male side, then at my floral/white/black/red/rust(orange)/silver/plum/pastel - tops/skirts/dresses/pants in a range of wonderful fabrics with lace/silk/satin/cotton.

Guess which side is my favourite ?

Hi Rachel, please do not feel that way.  I had no idea until I started reading articles and forums.  I personally like the Dressed As Boy definition.  hugs, Michelle

Drab

lacking brightness or interest; drearily dull.

Of a dull light brown color.

I love that this topic came up. I actually had this conversation my SO and used the term when I was getting dressed for work. I mentioned that she has so my fun, bright colorful options fabrics and textures and that most of the clothes I am “allowed” to wear don’t allow for any expression. She agreed and has even bought me tops from the women’s section:) Fingers crossed that This turns into something more;)💐

hi Rachel, up to recently I had no idea either! I was thinking 'drab!' what the heck does that mean in relation to crossdressing, I sure was confused! I always thought drab meant dull, boring, uninteresting, dreary etc, I was thinking allsorts, like is crossdressing really a boring thing to do? why would people say such a thing? and all the time it just meant 'dressed as a man/boy'. its all part of a huge learning curve lol.
