Many girls wonder what they need to get started with their crossdressing wardrobe. I’m here to give you a few ideas. Not how I started, but more so on where you might take those first steps as a beginner who’s hooked on the thrill of crossdressing.
I would look to begin, regarding the wardrobe worn on the exterior, with a little black dress (a girl’s essential) and a pair of black ankle strapped closed-toe pumps which could also be dressed up with other dresses or down with jeans.
Speaking of jeans, purchase a dark-washed pair of jeans. As dark as you can possibly find – why, you ask? Because dark colored jeans never seem to go out of style, and they just have a very classy look to them. Make sure they are extremely tapered at the bottom of your legs and come with plenty of spandex or elastane for the stretch and fit factor. Also, try to find a high-waisted jean, which is long enough at the bottom to roll up a notch or two for another optional, sexy look. The high-waisted jeans, which are getting harder and harder to find, are the ones that will enhance your figure, especially when wearing butt or hip pads underneath.
You’ll want have on hand both a white girly top/blouse and a black one as well, which have a design to them so they can be dressed-up with skirts or dressed-down with jeans or shorts. They work best if solid in color so as to make them as versatile as possible.
A plaid pencil skirt, slightly above the knee is essential to any lady’s wardrobe. Most of the time, these skirts are to be paired with a black or white top, jet black hose, and those black ankle strapped pumps noted above.
For your first selection of fall and winter clothing as a girl, I would suggest a black wool skater skirt worn with black opaque tights. This type skirt and these tights can hide a myriad of flaws you may have in your legs or midsection. Pair the above two essentials with a firm fitting turtleneck or crew neck top, and then try to find a wide elastic belt to complete the look and add to the curves! As far as pairing footwear in the winter with this style of outfit, it’s hard to beat a black suede pair of ankle booties. They are not only cute and sexy; they are also comfy and easy to walk in!
Two last items to add to the essentials in the beginning are a button up top – preferably solid white or black with or without polka dots. This type of top can be dressed up with any type of skirt or dressed down with jeans or slacks. And speaking of slacks, a pair of nice fitting solid black slacks with tapered legs narrowing at the bottom would be the last of the essential items I would add to the beginnings of a cute, classy, and pretty new wardrobe.
I won’t be addressing underwear or panties in this article. I will tell you once you get hooked on your favorite style and brand name of panties, you won’t be able to stop buying them! Panties are highly addictive and so comfortable when compared to men’s underwear! I haven’t worn a pair of men’s underwear in over eight years! My two favorite brands are Ellen Tracy and Vince Camuto.
Well girls, that’s my suggestions for the essentials in building a beginning wardrobe. I’m sure you have plenty of questions regarding this topic or other wardrobe help needs in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to send them to me in a private message!
Love y’all! XOXOXO Scarlett

Hi Babe! The only time I go shopping as Scarlett is on the four nights my wife is away at business conferences usually held in Orlando. I got to go one with her this last week and we were staying at the Embassy Suites on International Drive right in the middle of all of the action. Talk about first class! That hotel room was huge – the largest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in! The customer service and entire staff was and were second to none. I thought I was in Chic Filet and Publix multiplied times five as far… Read more »
Scarlett, I continue to attend physical and occupational therapy twice a week and I finally returned to my part time job in as many days.. Although retired gave the opportunity to accept a bookkeeping position for a good friend of mine who became Pastor at our Church.. He retires next year and so do I..we are a “package deal"! Kathy plays cards Thursday night which gives me 3 hours of Leonara time .. Hopefully my new strappy heels, miniskirt, and silk blouse will be ready in time. I haven’t noticed your photo shoot if you were looking for my comments.… Read more »
You are a very lucky lady.
georgia, yes I am …thank you for that nice comment ….Leonara
Hi Scarlett, great article! considering most of us love Female clothes to bits!! i would add one thing, many members will go for age appropriate clothing i have no doubt. Yes!! high waisted jeans are one of my favourites 🙂 . I suppose it all goes down to the look, whether casual or dressing up to go to a big venue. The choice of clothes available to us all can be quite bewildering, pay attention to colours and styles, in fact, without sounding like a troll, do a bit of girl watching!! you can learn loads from seeing what GG’s… Read more »
Great Tip Fee! Watch the GG girls and see what most of them are wearing. At least the ones who know how to throw some clothes together! Some GG girls don’t have a clue how to put and outfit together. Look at the attractive ones who have a keen sense of style and go for it!
Thanks Fee! XOXOXO Scarlett
Hi Scarlett,

You’re so welcome, Robin! Anytime you need help or have any questions feel free to always send me a private message and ask away!

Another well written article providing excellent advice on building a femme wardrobe. One question I have is do purchase primarily on-line or at brick and mortar retailers? Also, do you have any particular favorites?
Great question, Bettie! I do buy on line – mostly all my footwear from DSW.com (which is Designer Shoe Wear House). I order my heels, boots, booties, wedges on line and then have them delivered to the brick and mortar store in Pensacola. Reason why is because the brick and mortar store doesn’t really sell ladies shoes in size 11. I also buy a few skirts and tops from GAP.com (skater skirts and snug fitting tops like the ones I’m in worn with those short shorts as of late). Alright, now I’m gonna tell ya where I but most of… Read more »
Wow! Thanks so much, Scarlett, for the informative summary of your preferred shopping resources. Very helpful!
You’re welcome Rochelle! Yes, I have my five or six besties when it comes to shopping in Pensacola. I never come home empty handed!
XOXOXO Scarlett
Thank you Scarlett for your response and tips. I have had some success at many of the retailers you have mentioned but have been hesitant to try on-line retailers. I enjoy your well written articles and find them to be the highlight of this site.
Best wishes,
Bettie

Well Bettie, that’s the sweetest thing someone ever said about my articles! Wow “the highlight of this site"! I’m gonna have to pass that on to my senior editor, Brina MacTavish!

Dear Scarlett
I just love your demonstrations of your true excitement about CD’ing. You’re so truthful and unabashed. You are the reason I finally succumbed to join CDH. Your enthusiasm for CD’ing is quite contagious and makes me feel that I needn’t feel the slightest bit ashamed. I’ve been a CD for well over 7 decades (a clue to how ancient i am) but you’ve re-kindled my enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing your joy (and great tips).
Love
Abby
Great suggestions…especially that a Little Black Dress is an essential. My suggestion is to spend a little money and get one custom made to your measurements, as it will fit and flatter the best. You can choose how low (or high) the hemline is as well.
Hi Tina! I agree wholeheartedly! LBDs have to have to perfect fit!
XOXOXO Scarlett
You’re welcome Rochelle! I love sharing tips and knowledge with all of you girls on here! It helps all the girls take their cross dressing skills to their individual highest skills possible!
XOXOXO Scarlett
