Hello! 

I've been CD'ing since I can remember. I tried on one of my mother's dresses and have enjoyed it ever since. She was not too happy about that. Once I was able to work, I started buying dresses from thrift stores instead. I had a closet full, and my parents weren't too happy about that either - they were so heavy they broke the hanger bar in the closet. Once that was repaired, and would find my dresses at times,  they would hide or box them from me. We never had any conversations though. I would find them in the basement though. There was a thrift store near me and they would leave dresses outside that I would pick up at times also. I have stolen dresses in the past too, I feel bad about that now. 

Fast forward to now, I'm in Central Michigan, married, late 40's. Wife is somewhat supportive but still a little confused. She did buy me a new dress about six months ago and that has worked out well and is very comfortable. It's hung out openly in our bedroom (Which I enjoy! I see people with open closets and I think that's so awesome! I would love to just have all my dresses all over the house if I could!). 

I personally like vintage dresses, shirt dresses, Leslie Fay, Dorby, Karin Stevens, Breli, dresses with belts, etc. I like lined skirt suits too. I have like three closets worth. I buy on Ebay/Vinted/Depop/Vinted/Poshmark/etc when I can find a good deal. 14W to 18 size, sometimes L removed link Silk, cotton, polyester, it all depends on my mood. I just love comfortable dresses!

Very few know besides my SO and a couple of my ex's. 

I know there's a CD group in GR and I see one may be in Mount Pleasant. Tempting. 

Let's play dress up together!

@vintagedresslovermi   Welcome fellow Michigander.   It is always nice to see others from the same state and possibly close by.  If you ever want to chat feel free to send me a message.

@harriette I tried that once already and was against the inanimate rules. Or I did not post it properly.

@vintagedresslovermi Wear the clothes, then edit your identity out, if necessary. 

Check other profiles to see how it is done.

Hi Leslie

Welcome to CDH - I'm in Norfolk in the UK 🙂

Don't even talk to be about closet space. I'm sure my dresses are breeding ... there seem to be more of them each time I look.

Anyway, have fun exploring the site. It's a wonderful place to spend time, and I know you'll love it here. If you need help with anything don't be afraid to ask.

@vintagedresslovermi Welcome Leslie! I've always loved that name.  It's great that you have had freedom and support to some extent all your life! That is something that many of us wish we have had.   I'm with you....I love a nice dress!  I don't do it often enough but wearing a nice dress gives me so much feminine energy!  Enjoy CDH sister!

Welcome to CDH from another Michigander. Good to hear of your story. My wife is not as supportive and we are taking through it now. More of a DADT currently. Enjoy the atmosphere and friendships here. Hugs, Traci

Thanks for the kind support. I’ve gotten friendly messages as well, if others want to reach out. The pricing structure is a little insane in my opinion, even with ads. I expressed such in the survey that I filled out. I know servers aren’t free, but…

Thank you all!

I will add to this post - secrets destroy relationships. I know you may not want to come out to someone on your first date, but it should be something that your SO knows about before you propose. 
if you CD, that would be number five in the top five discussions.

1. Money/finances/ debt.

2. Religion/understanding/tolerance

 3. Children / have them / how they are raised

 4.  In-laws and boundaries with in-laws

5. Fetishes and discussions of such

I could see #2 and #5 connected in a way, but that is not my end goal of my post here. 
If you find someone you love, sit them down, tell them you are going to be vulnerable with them. Watch and understand their response.

 Be honest. We’ve all had trauma in our lives - some worst than others. 

Secrets destroy relationships. If you meet someone that’s worthy of spending your life with, tell them now. 
“I am going to be vulnerable with you.”

 

i see a lot of “my SO doesn’t know.” That is your choice she does not.  If you are in that situation, sit down, ask to be vulnerable, and lay all the cards on the table.

 

My wife wasn’t fully on board either. My girl flipped out when she found my dresses closet I  She understands. She has even bought me a dress or two.

 

 I’m only a guide. You still have to make your own decisions.

❤️
