    Is it gay to cross dress?
    Community Answer
    It's totally irrelevant. Straight guys like to cross dress and gays like to cross dress, but not all gays like to cross dress. Straight guys like to get in touch with their inner female sometimes and a lot of the clothes feel good.

    How do I shop if I want to cross dress?
    Community Answer
    I like thrift stores because there is a wide variety and the prices are affordable. I will take a couple of dresses and wrap some men's shirts around them to go into the dressing room so I can try them on. They also have really good deals on shoes as well.

  • Question
    Would it be better to wear a girdle?
    Community Answer
    It all depends. I personally like the the definition it gives to my waist the lovely seamless appearance under clothes, especially nice form-fitting trousers or a tight skirt. They can be a bit hot and restrictive if the temperature is summery, though. If you are wanting to make an impression and look sleek for an occasion, then go for it.

    What should a cross dresser wear?

    Community Answer
    No matter what you choose to wear, you want to have well-fitting clothes that suit you. If you don't have your measurements, you can take them with a measuring tape. They'll help you choose clothes that fit you and look good. Measure your chest just under your nipples, add about three inches if you are going to wear a padded bra - this is your bust. Measure your waist about an inch above your navel - this is your "natural" girl waist. Also measure your waist a couple of inches below your navel. This is your girl "low waist" - probably also your boy waist. For shoes, add a size and a half and you have your size in boots and pumps. You may need wide or even extra wide if you are a big girl. Use your measurements to choose dresses, tops, bras, and anything else you want to wear. That way, they'll fit you well and give you a more feminine look.

    How do I get ready to go out while cross dressing?
    Drew Hawkins1
    Community Answer
    For starters, you can get ready by showering and shaving so you're neat and ready to hit the town. Try to get someone to go with you. If you have a gay bar around, try that as your first outing so you feel a little more comfortable. Once you're feeling more confident, try heading to another venue. Stay within your comfort zone and try to spend time with people you trust. Remember that you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Do whatever sounds fun and feels okay for you. Have fun and enjoy your night out!

    You've got a ton of options, which can feel overwhelming. But you can make it easier by figuring out what look you want to achieve. Choose clothing brands that are designed for the style you want. If you want a younger look, try clothes from stores like Forever 21 or Alloy. For a slightly more mature look, you can always hit department stores like JC Penney's or Macy's. When it comes to style, if you have more a petite figure, go with higher necklines, square neck, or draped cuts. If you're a little bit bigger, go with a V-neck or surplice. Black is slimming but don't overdo it. A little black dress is great for a starter wardrobe, but add some color with accessories or jewelry.

    What would be a good woman's outfit to wear for a guy with a barrel chest & broad shoulders?
    Sy Yusuf
    Community Answer
    Avoid any straps that are spaghetti straps because spaghetti straps make it look like that your shoulders are broader, so stick with those with thick straps. For the chest, you measure your chest for any difference (look for the size chart for online for the best results).

    You can ask your parents to buy you girl clothes, if they don't accept it then ask a supportive friend for some girl clothes.
