Ok Hon, let’s start with some basics.
1. Panties. All of those pretty, frilly, skimpy panties you drool over, forget them. When you go buy your first few pairs, you have to consider what you are trying to accomplish and what you have to work with. You have a little extra “baggage” to deal with in front so look for panties with as wide a crotch as possible. Women don’t have to worry about this issue as much so most of them can’t help. Check out the Vassarette brand at Wal-Mart. They are not expensive and have the wider crotch you will need. I’ve found the best fit for me is in the French Cut style, but try the Hip Hugger style as well. You may like them. Just remember, you will be wearing these over a very sensitive part of your body. Make sure they are comfortable.
1a. Gaff. A gaff is used to hide your bulge. There are a few different types, but the basic type is the non-stretch wedge of material. You tuck your manhood between your legs and pull the tight fitting gaff over it. If used correctly, you’ll never be able to see the bulge.
1b. Panty Girdle. Depending on your body shape, the Panty Girdle may be a more comfortable alternative to the Gaff. The name is pretty self explanatory.

2. Bras. Figure out what size you will need. There are several guides to proper fitting of a bra. Just search the web for “bra, fitting.” I promise you will have more trouble with finding the right bras than you ever thought possible finding good fitting panties. Again, your objective here is different than a woman’s so you have to look at the issue a little different. I recommend trying bras with fuller cups. In other words, they cover more of the breast. Unless you have developed breasts of your own or are advanced enough to use high quality adhesive forms, you can’t get away with huge plunging neck lines. You are going to have to fill the bra cup with something so get a bra with cups you can fill. When it comes to bras, even some women don’t understand the bra shapes the breast, not the other way around. You’ll spend plenty of money on bras until you find the brands and styles that work for you.

3. Shoes. I love the look and feel of high heels and I love walking in them, but it took a while for me to learn to walk in them well enough to pass. Start out low, probably no more than 2”. If you have wide feet, you may have to use strap heals (kind of like sandals), but try sticking with closed toes for a while until you are able to move up to the more exotic styles and heights.

4. Makeup. This is a learning process. Girls start young learning how to use makeup. You may not have that advantage so you have to learn quickly. I recommend going to a large town or city where you are not known. Go to major department stores that have Makeover counters and be very upfront with them about what you want. This will be expensive, but will get you the most experience in the shortest amount of time. Be ready to walk out of there with your face fully made over. Your best option here is to wear clothes to the store that are androgynous. It will make it easier to get out without being “made” as a guy. Having a wig and some female shoes to put on will help. You don’t have to pass completely at first, you just have to put enough doubt in people’s minds so you will have time to walk away before they get a chance to look too close.

Remember, this is only a starting point. You can take this any direction you want from simply wearing feminine under garments under your male attire to cross-dressing at home or full blown passing in public under close inspection. I’ve done all three and enjoy it greatly.

Good luck, Hon.

Well I wear all of the men clothing all the way down to the underwear. Maybe you could start there. That way if you want to slowly but surely come out as a crossdresser it wont be so hard. You could then go on the buy ladies pants and then shirts. Hey just go on and try it all. If your not sure of your size the people that work in the store should be able to size you pretty well, but if you don't want to go through that then just buy you a couple of pair of pants and try them on at home and bring back the ones that don't fit. Good luck!

You know this is such an unusual question LOL I can't help but reply. Well I'd say to be believable you'll want to have accessories. I don't know what you are built like, but if you are like most men and have no hips and no butt you have a problem. You'll want a pair of padded underwear. (Pads to make you look like you have a butt and hips) Then some ladies trousers or jeans, blouses and a silk accessory scarf as a decoration around your neck and to hide your adams apple. An understated necklace and maybe a pair of earrings. Also, a pair of very low heels. 2 to 4 inches tops. Stay away from belts. Try a bracelet if you don't have large wrists. Good luck on your new "endeavor" :-)

i can reccomend 3 sites for you to go to. i have bought things from all 3. the first is cross-dress.net. the second is suddenlyfem.com and the third and by far the best is glamourboutique.com. they have 3 stores across the country. vegas, auburn, mass; and LA. i have shopped at the auburn, mass store and am a regular customer of the las vegas store. (i live less than 3 miles from the store.) they are super friendly in all aspects of crossdressing and the TG world.

I hope this isnt a joke.

--flare jeans are your freinds, but not too tight.
rips everwhere are fashionable... but in excess, will make you look trashy.
The t-shirts: stretchy kind... those are fun, and casual. Cropped jackets with long sleves are invaluable... dressy, casual or somwhere inbetween.
Ballet flats are a comfortable alternative to difficult heels- take advantage.
Since you're a guy and all.... i wouldnt reccomend skinny jeans- but if you must.... wear a long, tunic-like top over it.

If your hair is short you may need a wig. Go to a salon and have the ladies there help you. Don't worry they have seen your kind before. You should also have a wig styled to fit you.

I bet that got a lot of giggles.

Get a catalog, check the size charts and stick with dresses, part of you probably won't fit well in women's pants and the part that does won't fill it.

Have fun. Everyone else will whenever you open your mouth to speak. Good luck.
