I would like to know how many of you girls have been shopping while you're dressing enfem?
I love shopping for myself and I aboustly love being dressed up in woman's clothes. I like to wear a outfit that is not to noticeable and I try to wear a outfit that blends in. I usually wear a bra and panties and garter belt with thigh highs stockings. I will definitely wear a matching bra and panties. I really love wearing a pair of silver jeans and a pink ruching tank top with a black shirt with a lululemon black jacket. I find that my outfit is a bit comom and is not very noticeable. I am a very good at blending in. I usually always go shopping at Lasenza or Victoria secret's. I have been shopping at both stores for over 5 years now. I definitely like the staff and they they treat me with respect.
They totally understand my situation and they are very appreciative that I come in wearing appropriate attire. I never go overboard with my dressing and I aboustly love being myself when I am shopping. I recently bought a few bras from Lasenza and I bought 10 new pairs of panties from Victoria secret. I was excited about going shopping for myself and I got everything I needed. I love shopping for myself when I'm dressed.
I am interested in knowing if you girls will go out shopping for your self and how you are dressed?
@roberta80 I was 17 the first time I went shopping en femme. I was wearing short girl's shorts, platform wedge heels, sheer to waist pantyhose, bra with breast forms made from old pantyhose, a simple shirt top, and a long, brown, wavy wig. My Daisy Duke look. I was so nervous, but in the end it was an incredible thrill.
@roberta80 Have not yet shopped en femme, but today was my first day to ask for a fitting room. She glanced at what I wanted to try on and there was no reaction. I felt good about the experience and furthermore, it felt natural. I know from now on, I'm on my way. Blouses, slacks. Then skirts and dresses, and finally: bras. And I can't wait until I'm brave enough to do that.
Hello Roberta, I go out shopping fully dressed every time now. I go into ladies clothes shops & buy clothes, no problem. I go into normal shops, supermarkets, etc. As you said, I try to blend in, with wearing sensible clothes. Most of the staff treat me with respect, I know some the staff in some shops as well. I enjoy myself when going out as Helenmarie it is normal for me now. love Helenmarie
Yes I’ve been out shopping while fully dressed as a woman but I also do it while wearing makeup, all women’s clothes , perfume but no wig or breastforms. Blending in is the way to go I find. Never had a bad experience while out . The sales associates are always great while in either mode. I love it when they suggest to try things on.
Roberta,
Shopping is a major activity for me while dressed. I've gone shopping in very casual clothes; top, jeans and ladies sneakers with my wig and minimal makeup, but also have gone in a long flowing dress with sandals, makeup and matching accessories.
If you can arrange it, it's even better when you go with a girlfriend!
And like the other comments, I find sales persons to be very accomodating and helpful. I even get comments from other customers!

I keep wondering about this. Only once did I come across a young, maybe new, sales clerk that wasn't up to speed on how to deal appropriately with a crossdresser. She giggled, no harm done.
My guess is that they have come across us more that once while doing their job. 😉
I go out kind of en femme all the time, grocery shopping, to the doctors office, dentist, everywhere. I may not be obvious but still wear a bra & panties under my femme denim shorts, femme jeans in the cooler months & femme tee shirts. I try to look as expected when out in the world, but I know I am all femme.
Yes, i do shop en femme, but also en homme and everywhere inbetween. Lately, though, it has mostly been en femme. It is just more fun to be out and about fully dressed and to wander from store to story looking at and trying things on. I agree, the SAs do seem to be more engaged and helpful when I am dressed. I have never had an issue, esoecially when en femme. On rare occasiins I was directed to the men's changing rooms if I were trying things on, but presenting en homme, whuch is reasonable. All the more reason to do it en femme. Plus, i need ny breast forms in place to see how things fit, so better to wear them then to carry them.
I for one, do not shop en femme mainly because I do not adhere to the 'blending in' philosophy. As seldom as I dress to go out, the last thing I want to do is blend in. I know my body and my sizes very well, so all my shopping is online. On the rare occasion that I see something when shopping with my wife, I tell her, and I will ask her to try it on for me. I have shopped en femme a few times when traveling to Las Vegas, at the huge mall around Planet Hollywood, but it's Las Vegas LOL.
I go shopping en femme usually once a month; mostly clothes shopping and charity shop browsing for clothes - if needed I pop into a supermarket to buy groceries. I usually wear 'everyday clothes', when out shopping I prefer to wear a dress or a skirt and top; during this summer I wore a denim skirt and t-top for one of my shopping trips.
I also do a lot of girl-clothes shopping in man-mode as well.
I very rarely try stuff on as I stick to my size and specific brands which I know fit me properly.
I have shopped en femme before. It was fun and very exciting. I wore jeans cuffed at mid calf, a female tee with a mesh overshirt tied in front. Ballerina flats, wig, jewelry, light but complete makeup. Blending in is the way to go. I did not have any bad experience, and the vast majority of the people there did not even look twice at me. I was just another woman shopping
If I’m shopping, it’s en femme. I also try to blend and dress for the situation. When shopping, that means slacks, jeans, or leggings and an appropriate top. I often go for the “soccer mom” look with leggings and feminine sneakers. I prefer to try things on before making a purchase and have had no problems using dressing rooms. Light makeup and sunglasses most days but sunglasses and a Covid mask also works!
Hi Roberta!
I love this topic, because it’s one of my favorite things to do. I try to go out at least twice a month. I usually go to the mall, Target, Marshall’s, Ross’ Victoria Secrets, wherever!
The first time I did it years ago, I was terrified. It was everything all of the girls here have described. With time, it became easier and so enjoyable. I love holding up clothes against me in the mirrors or by the racks. I feel like a real woman when I do, and it’s something that feels so natural when dressed. I could never do this in drab. I also love interacting with the SAs. They have all been so considerate and helpful. They usually don’t know I’m a cd until I open my mouth and speak and /or when they are very up close. The look on their face is priceless! They go from stunned/surprised to giddy! And then they can’t help me enough! I’m just glad I can pass as well as I do to fool them at first and then to interact in a normal fashion as we chat and pick out things.
Also, it’s really a turn on for me when I get a smile from a man and a “hello.” I’ve been approached and chatted up. I’ve also had men ask me for my phone number I also like getting smiles and compliments on my outfits from friendly women who happen to be shopping. Many women do this with each other. It makes me feel validated for the most part.
For me, I feel more comfortable shopping for women’s clothes while dressed than when I do as a man.
I posted a pic of my shopping trip last month. Since then, I’ve been out a couple of more times. I usually dress nice, as I love to wear skirts and dresses with heels. When I do this, I definitely am more noticeable in a pretty and sexy way. Heels and skirts just draw attention, but sometimes I’ll dress in jeans and a cute top with tennis shoes just to blend in. It just depends on my mood.
Thanks for posting this topic. It’s a good one! Shopping is definitely a thing I love to do and makes me feel very womanly and feminine and as close to being a woman as I can be (outside of the bedroom)!
Hugs,
Lisa 🥰
@lisagurlll wow I definitely love hearing from you. Your shopping trips sounds amazing. I love wearing a bra and panties and women's clothing while I am out. My favorite is going bra shopping. I have several sales girls willing to help me try on the bras. I love shopping at Lasenza and Victoria secret's. I really love going shopping when I am all dressed infem. I have always been treated like a total girl and I was greeted by the staff as Roberta and I was able to try on everything I wanted to. I usually go out shopping and buy my self a very sexy dress or something very girly. I happened to buy myself a long length stretchy tank top dress. I asked her if she could find me a pair of thigh high stockings with a black bustier with garters. I asked her to bring me a black thong to.
I was in the dressing room and she comes in and hung up everything she said she would love to help me try on everything. I had just been treated like a total girl and Iiving as Roberta. I said that I had bought myself a new dress and I was wanted a matching lingerie to wear with it. She said that I had picked out the perfect outfit to wear it.
I love it! You’re definitely doing it right! You’ll need to post a pic of yourself from your next outing! 🥰
I just love going shopping, en femme or in drab. If in drab, I will hold up tops or skirts against me in the mirror although it was a long time before I cared little enough about what people thought to do it.
The problem is not how I am dressed but this...

When I was living in California, Me and a CD friend would go shopping all the time at a local mall. Usualy mid day week day when fewer people were around. We had the best reactions from people especialy sales people. The staff at icing and clairs were the best.
Hi ladies,
I'm a fulltime girl, so I do literally everything while dressed. I have been told by the women at work, and by sales girls, that I am a classy lady and know how to dress stylishly. So there are times when I am blending in and other times when I am definitely better dressed than most of the women around me.
Hugs,
Ms. Lauren M
I've had two en femme bra fittings and have shopped en femme a number of times. Mostly in the bigger dept stores like Target and K Mart.
Due to a couple of minor health trubs, I've not been able to get my full Caty on at all in 2024. But just like when your football team loses a big final. "There's always next year.
Caty.
