For the average crossdresser, finding woman’s clothes that fit can be hard. Not only are the sizes different, but most woman’s clothes are too small around the chest, too large around the hips and too small around the waist. That’s not even counting the stress of being a man shopping in the woman’s section at your local mall.
Thankfully many woman’s clothing stores have online offerings with fairly generous return policies, and the size information provided is much more accurate online since it costs the merchant to process returns. Before you purchase anything I recommend taking a quick look at this guide to crossdresser clothing sizes.

There are a number of stores that sell high quality and reasonably priced woman’s clothes in sizes that will fit the average crossdresser. These are some of my favorites:
Macys: The grand old lady offers great looking clothes at reasonable prices – watch out for regular sales. Many readers of Crossdresser Heaven have shared glowing reviews of Macys, and in my experience they’re extremely transgender friendly. I can’t say enough about how much I love their store.
Nordstrom: Upscale fashion for the woman who wants to look her absolute best! Buy something you’ll enjoy for years to come, and be the envy of your girlfriends.

Do any of you go dressed to buy feminine attire as a man? If so, do you ever get strange looks from female clerks? Are there stores that might be kinder, and more attentive to a man buying feminine apparel?
I know I have on occasion seen charts that translate to a man’s sizes. If I sought to buy a mini skirt, I am mainly concerned about the waist size. Is there a hard and fast rule about the size of the skirt I’d need if I have a 40″ man’s waist?
a great place to find pretty dresses and shoes and other girly things go to Sammydress.com they have plus size dresses etc. for mostly under $10.00. I love all their hip and fun fashions and the shoes OMG! I love all their sexy heels and flats. they even have cross body bags and purses, and home décor… Wigs too.
Also in regards to shopping for my soft and silkies, I go dressed as a man and sometimes I get surprised or curious.. looks from women who are also browsing in the same section. But I find if I just look up at them and smile a quick and friendly smile, they usually go back to shopping too. only once did I see a woman act as if disgusted and walk away. but I always go to women clerks when checking out and I have never ever gotten strange or weird looks from them. they just ring it up and… Read more »

They’re clothes, offer to do a chromosome test on the fabric to see if it’s XX or XY. If it’s a leather bra and it’s a XY leather, it’s a male bra… Nylon, polyester, rayon, orlon (acrylic), or other synthetics: gender less. High heels worn by men first, visable stockings worn by men first, skirts – kilts – enough said.. Look them right in the eye and tell them, it’s clothing and mind your own bees wax.
I often shop at Talbots and have never had a problem. They have an inclusive store policy on cross dressers (that’s what the corporate office told me). After hearing that I went to my local store and asked one of the associates if it made her nervous dealing with me. She was extremely accommodating, made style suggestions, helped me use the dressing rooms to try on different sizes and even offered to open the store early or keep open late if I wanted. Needless to say, she now has a dedicated customer who has bought a lot of clothes from… Read more »
