I finally went out shopping... I decided it is now or never!!! I have made a few posts on me going out this week.... well I went on my own and I will say this much I CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN!!!! it was fun it was amusing and what an experience it was. I was so thankful to the lady who helped me.. we were laughing and having so much fun she said I was her first male to come in and try clothes buy them and go out the door in them!!

This was so nerve racking the week before as I had called the store and spoke to a few ladies in the one particular store... They were so reassuring and so helpful.... Ya I know they want to be and have to be but when the sales woman leans in and adjusts your top and whispers that you are beautiful it really makes a difference. I know they want the money but when she says I have your number do not take off before I get back from break..... I had no make up on and no wig and stopped for gas..... To have a woman say that is a beautiful outfit from the other side of the pump was a shock for us both as she did not realize LOL we just laughed...  Just so you know I went in drab.... I took my forms and work nylons ect ect. She sized me for bra and had me try on some bras in my size. Even had shoes and skirt and top.... Wish I could post a picture.

I did say I called ahead and spoke with a few supervisors and manager. Told them my concerns and what to expect. They told me everything I needed to know. I think if you just walk into a store then you could get different service. If you call ahead of time and ask and find out if they are CD Trans friendly it will give you a better idea. Especially if you ask if they have served a CD or  Transgender person.

Anyways I am going again next Wed shopping but going to meet the first SA who helped me out first. We have a good relationship going as sales and customers go and wants to meet and actually help some one who is a proud crossdresser.

To those who gave ideas on how to deal with all this about going out shopping.... They are right just say screw it I only live once!!

Thank you Ladies

Well done Stevie, such  a buzz just being out in public dressing the way we want to dress, looking how we want to look, feeling fab! The more we just do it, be seen in public, the more ‘normal’ it will become in society in general, and that can only be a good thing. Sounds like you have got some fans!

love

I'm glad you had a great time Stevie

While its true that they need to be cordial and are trained to be nice to all the paying customers, those sometimes feel phoney. Other SA's are genuinely nice, accepting and interested, which makes a huge difference in your shopping experience.

Keep shopping and being out there.

Good for you Stevie

I've gone out many times over the years and the experiences just keep getting better. I hope everything keeps getting better for all of us.

Wonderful to hear. I love hearing stories especially when their adventures went off beautifully. Certainly an emotional time and one many would love to experience themselves. Thank you for sharing and look forward to hearing about more of your ventures out and about.

Stephanie 🌹

Hi, Stevie,
Yes, shopping is a genuine thrill, even in drab...but even more so when you can do it dressed. And now we know why GGs enjoy it so much.

The one SA was really interested in they why and how and where and everything else. To the point where she was asking where to get form and site's for Crossdressers and even where to go out for the night... The other one was interested but more less just wanted me to feel comfortable. I am trying to post a picture for my profile and will do so when I get it figured out.

Honestly it was a blast walking around the store with a newly fitted bra and a skirt heel and beautiful blouse... One shopper said that outfit really looks good on you. I said thank you. As mentioned before the other 2 shoppers said how well I looked and said us 3 girls should go out shopping some time!!! LOL

So when the ladies here on CDH say it is fun and you will have a great time.... They know what they are talking about!!!.

Congratulations Stevie!!

I am so happy for you and I'm so glad you had such a positive experience. When I first went looking to buy a wig many years ago, I too called ahead and told them I was coming in and who I was. I had a wonderful experience as well but as you become more confident and comfortable, you'll be able to walk into any store at any time just like any other girl. I hope all your shopping experiences to this well and "Go Girl Go!!"

Hugs, Breanna
