I’ve been dressing consistently for only about two and a half years.  I wasn’t sure how much I’d miss it until I had house guests for most of December.  I’m not out to friends or family, so during that time I couldn’t dress.  I missed it so much.  I couldn’t wait to dress again and as soon as they left I couldn’t wait to dress again and the joy that I felt was indescribable.

 I’ve had times in the past when I’ve had periods when I didn’t dress, but this time it was different.  I realized for the first time how much this is a real part of my life that makes me so happy, and I’m never going to stop.

A timely post, Jennifer. Yesterday was the first time in nearly four weeks that I had the freedom to pamper and dress nicely. 

I just said to my wife this morning, it's not a treat, I need to do this. I was beginning to feel irritable because I couldn't.

Yes, Allie is as much a part of me life now as male me and I would not have it any other way 😊.

@alexina I was going to PM you tonight and ask you how you were doing, lovely 🙂  Very glad to see that you've had some Allie time. I hope there will be more coming your way very shortly!

Hugs

Thanks, Fluff. I've been thinking the same thing since Friday but I like to leave your weekends for you now.

Expect an update early this week 😊.

Hugs back

@jennconn I definitely feel what you are saying Jennifer.   As time has gone on and I integrate my femininity into my everyday life, it is very difficult when I need to revert for some reason.  I'm Lauren now and I need to be fully connected with myself for me to feel happy.  Hopefully, one day I will be able to go full time and let Lauren realty flourish.

@jennconn Good luck to you, Jennifer. My wishes for everyone here is to be able to dress as much as they want to. AND that all your friends and family can and will accept you. 

As for me, since retiring, I am presenting as Cassie full time. Some of these days when I am not going anywhere, just at home for the day I just don't feel like shaving and doing makeup. Otherwise I wear Cassie's clothes all the time.

@loneleycd great for you Cassie, I’m glad it’s working for you.  It is nice to be retired and not worry about what any work colleagues think of you.

@jennconn I was one of lucky ones. I have been out at work for almost a year. As a letter carrier it was to much trouble to fully dress at work. But if I dropped in on my day off and my union meetings I was dressed full Cassie mode.

@jennconn How right you are Jennifer.

Over time I've done the Purge and always found myself running to the store shortly after for pantyhose, then a pair of heels and then and then. I gave that up some 25 years ago. Never again will I do that and yes, I dread when company is here or I go there and I can't be me for more than a day or two.

@cherylt I’ve done that too Cheryl and always regretted it.  Like you, I’ve finally learned, it’s not going away ever.

@jennconn I know this feeling you speak of Jenn. I myself have had less time since the holidays and I find and my mentioned I get grumpy when I don’t have any femme time. I do love my femme time and I’m finding it’s become the norm so we I can’t it just feels wired not to be dressing feminine.

@jennconn hi Jennifer, I too know this feeling, everyone home for the holidays , oh I enjoy time with family and friends, but I can’t wait until we get our privacy back again and Jo can dress more the way she likes. I had a job a few years back , pretty much every other Friday off , I had a lot of time for Jo then, sadly that job went away and pretty all dressed up Jo  is very much in the closet again for now,

@jennconn I know what you mean hon 🙂  Luckily I only have the odd day when I can't be full Fiona (basically only when seeing my parents), but it's always good to remind myself that the next day, I will be the real me again.

I'm never going to stop, either.  I know I say I don't have any dysphoria if I have to have a day in boymode, and this weekend it's even been useful in terms of timings, to do a little boymode at the start of the days.  But actually I can't imagine any more, not dressing by default.  It just wouldn't be me 🙂

Hugs,
Fiona xxx

I know just what you mean Jennifer, I under dress daily, but when I'm going some place were I know there will be lots of hugging I don't wear a bra. As soon as I get home though, I immediately put my bra on, I just don't feel right with out one.

By the way congrats on your photo win!

I know the feeling, it is just not as intense for me. I have been traveling a lot lately, oh the joys of retirement, and often don't get to dress much or at all except some underdressing. I miss it and look forward to getting to dress, but it is not a burning desire, but it is a desire none the less.

I can relate.  I know I have had times where I couldn't dress for whatever reason (a house guest is one of them), but when I finally got the chance to dress up again, it was special!

I can certainly relate.  It is just a part of who we are and life is better when we can fully express ourselves.

@erinb I’ve known that feeling since my preteens. What was rough for me was once I was at camp and I had the desire to dress. It just kept eating at me and keeping me up. It it hadn’t been for mid camp break, I don’t know if I could have made it

I work 4 or 5 hours a day, every day. I don't under dress, but i do have a pedicure on every day. it just makes me smile when i see all my toes painted. in the morning when I get up I through a skirt and shirt on. then i change to go to work. when I come home, I usually put the skirt back on. if I need to go to the store or somewhere, I usually go as Rachel. Friday and Saturday night i play pool. always go dressed. been doing that for about 8 years now. i love it and everyone there love watching or playing against me. great bunch of people we meet no matter where we go.

@prettytoes that’s so cool Rachel that you have a place to hang out with friends dressed and play pool and you are totally accepted there.

@jennconn im not totally passable, but no one really cares. as long as your ok with yourself. everyone else will be to. i went on a trip this summer totally dressed for 5 to 6 days straight. drove from Maine to Atlantic City. no problems with anyone. i went by myself. it was great. might do a cruise next.

@jennconn we dont call it a place to hang out. no matter where we go people like us. we went to a new place last night. regular bar and regular people. its all in your head thinking your not going to be accepted. not true. ive been to many places most people think id never go. nothing ever happened. people find us interesting and harmless. we even been to a biker bar once.

Well ladies, as many of you know. I'm a full time girl.  I dress as a woman each and every day.  It has become part of a daily ritual and very routine, but the joy never goes away!

Hugs,

Ms. Lauren M

@reallylauren I am so happy that you love it full time Lauren.  For me it’s too hard being a woman all the time.  But I so miss it when I can’t do it when I want to.

I've not been able to dress for a week and a half after having a heavy fall.

My left leg is a mess still so putting on a pair of tights is not an option at the moment, right leg, arms and hands are healing. Ribs are sore but could now put a bra on so I might get an Anna day tomorrow.

I know it's not been long, but I'm missing getting dolled up.

Couldn't imagine not having Allison around she is so much part of me. Like Allie if I go awhile without being Allison I have a tendency to be irritable. Allison keeps me grounded. 

Anna I hope you are feeling better my prayers are still with you.

Allison

Jen,

We started dressing consistently about the same time, 33 months ago for me. It's a wonderful feeling to accept that this is who you truly are, isn't it? I'm so grateful that I get to do this full time. It is a very unique experience.

Fiona

Hi Jennifer

Great subject Jennifer. I have just had a month of not dressing for similar reasons to you with house guests and my wife on holidays. I normally dress once a week and go out and do whatever I was going to do that day anyway as Olivia. The few days before my wife went back to work I was a bit like the kids before Christmas counting down the days and it was on my mind all the time.

I spent decades purging and telling myself this is the last time I ever do this. It is as you say Jennifer a real part of our life. Since I accepted the need to be female albeit part time will never go away and it is a real part of my life I've never been happier.
