@olly703 Greetings!  What kinda advice are you looking for?  Like clothing or hairstyles?

@olly703 hi Olly

Welcome to CDH, a community of crossdressers, and we experiment to express our feminity , we are here to support you and each other's and give you guidance in this what we call "journey through our femme side"

It is not easy when we are young and sometimes we question us "am I right"?" Am I the weirdest", why I like to dress as a girl? Why some other don't ? Am I gay?

Many times most of us we are here felt and asking to the sky for answers, why we did this, nobody know for sure?

What we know it is this, it is a part of our inner self and it won't disappear just like that, it is not a influenza, there is not medication to cure it, because it is not a sickness and doesn't need to be cured.

I'm 47 at this moment and I'm happily married, I have a daughter of almost 20 years and I crossdress in private as many of us, because of the society, our jobs our families sometimes, many factors, all depends on what you really think about you.

Feel free take a search in this site and read all that you can about the crossdressing here , ask questions write posts, makes friends, and you will see how the landscape start to see clear and bright, enjoy in the meantime.

You have many sisters here willing to support you and show you how take right decisions. Read profiles of the people here and  then, you will find that you are not the only one and also, you are not alone.

Thanks to be here and feel you like in home!!!

Kisses and hugs

@olly703   I have a suggestion and it will probably scare the heck out of you, but its worth considering.   Try to find a female friend or two that can help you with all the things you need to learn about makeup, clothing and presenting yourself  as a young woman.    Some of the most common mistakes made by new cross dressers are the result unrealistic male perceptions of femininity.   With the help of real girls,  you can avoid those mistakes, such as choosing over the top outfits, and instead start assembling a wardrobe that is flattering for you.  

Definitely take advantage of thrift shops.  Don’t spend a ton on new clothes when you can get good quality apparel at a fraction of the cost of new.  And shop with your girl friends.  It will be fun and a great learning experience!

  Same with makeup.  Nothing makes a cross dresser stand out (in a bad way) than excessive and poorly applied makeup.  Your girlfriends can help with this as can makeup artists at stores like Ulta.   But don’t go overboard on expensive makeup.   You’ll get excellent results with reasonably prices brands, such as Elf.  

Another thing to think about is your hair.  Definitely grow it out if you can.  It’s way cheaper and more fun than having to wear a wig.   If you must get a wig, get a reasonably good quality brand, like Noriko, Gabor, or Racquel Welch.   You can get some good deals on new and lightly used wigs on eBay.  Again, get some ideas from your girlfriends and if you can, consider going to a wig shop.  They are really helpful in finding styles and colors that suit you.

Finally, I would suggest some modestly priced breast forms and silicon hip padding.   Ebay is a good place to find these too.  Keep your bodily proportions in mind.  Too often cross dressers go overboard with DD (or even larger!!) that look unnatural and frankly kinda tacky.  A moderate sized breast form, like a C cup will be more convincing and attractive in most cases.

Finally, take your time and practice.   Be patient with yourself and by all means get help from your female friends.   It will be a blast and you will progress so quickly.

Best wishes!

Hey Olly

The other replies to your post cover just about everything I would have said ... so I won't add dramatically to your reading load by adding more.

Instead, I'll simply welcome you to the site 🙂

Although the CDH age profile is definitely skewed towards the 45+ end of things, we do have younger members and we're always keen to bring more into the community.

You'll find that this is a very warm and supportive site, and a great place to chat, make friends and seek advice. I hope that you love it here as much as I do.

Hugs

@olly703 Hi Olly welcome to CDH family you're the next generation of 👗ers hope you enjoy the ride love you JA

@olly703 My advice is relax and enjoy the wonderful journey of cross dressing.  It is like nothing else.  But take it all at a pace that you are happy with…if you can find someone to share your cross dressing with, I can honestly say that is the best, but only come out when you feel ready and to people who you trust.  When I was 18 I did not have my own clothes, but was fortunate to have had some very young (slightly older) very trendy aunts who had left their clothes at home while they went away to live in North Africa for a few years.  What fun that was.

The girls on this site are very helpful, encouraging, informed and lots of fun as well as friends who will provide a shoulder to cry on if needed.  

Hope you have fun exploring the site and with all the adventures you will have crossdressing.

Hugs

Christine

@olly703 Welcome to CDH, Olly!

Aside from the excellent advice already given, may I suggest that you take a deep breath and relax. Since you are so young you have the advantage of time to go about planning, practicing and learning. 

Your profile indicates that you are the "care provider" of the CD person, so now I am confused. Are you the crossdresser or some sort of guardian? The rest of the profile is blank.

For example, if you are not out to friends and family, how are you going to safeguard your dressing? This takes planning and learning how to be careful.

Please keep in touch with us and feel free to ask questions.
