Mine was very simple and low key.I was twelve one winter’s night in December 1972.My mum and dad were out of the house for a few hours.At long last,I got into my mothers tights / pantyhose drawer and took a pair out and tried them on.Didn’t think one of her skirts fitted me.Instead I wore my white school gym shorts and wore them as hot pants.On my upper half I wore a yellow boys tank top.The tights felt as lovely as I thought they would be.An inauspicious start but a lovely one nonetheless.I thought about nothing else in my High School classes the next day.Fast forward a few months and did progress to a skirt to go with tights.My mum was a UK Size 14 which fitted me quite well.I loved how my legs looked in the hose.Very female and they made feel like the girls in my class who I so wanted to be.
