Answer 1

For a start, dress appropriate for your age. Being 19, you can get away with a lot as long as you dress appropriately for the situation. Don't wear something to the grocery store that you would be better off seen at a dance club.

Of course, things cost money and being 19 years old, you may not have a lot so try to get things that are versatile so that you can mix and match items. Most crossdressers first starting out tend to buy a lot of black colored items. While every gal needs a few black items, especially that LBD ("Little Black Dress") and black is great to wear any season, your entire wardrobe should not be black or monochromatic! Grey suits with white shirts are such a guy thing. Girl, you need color! Women wear colors and so should you - but not just any and every color. Depending upon your skin tone, some colors will work well with you while others can make you look ill. Check out the book "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson to determine what colors typically work for your skin type. You can get Ms. Jackson;s book on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345345886?ie=UTF8&tag=iamtra-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0345345886)

Remember that it is currently winter, so dress warmly -- like girls your age do. Rather than wear a skirt, I suggest a nice pair of woman's dress jeans -- perhaps with some embroidering on the back or down the sides.

Heels do flatter your legs, but remember to give your feet support and use cushioned inserts. Even many hearts tends to race when they see a pair of strappy stiletto heels, remind yourself that you need to wear sensible shoes once in a while. Make sure your shoes aren't too tight OR too loose - both can cause foot pain.

When you are pulling together your wardrobe, don't forget about the accessories! Accessories will often pull your best outfits together. For example, hand bags and purses can be very important. Don't skimp on the quality of your handbag. Women take their purses pretty seriously. And pick out a quality hand bag rather than a cheep $10 bag you would expect a 12 year old girl to select. A quality hand bag will enhance your overall look a lot more than you might think. When in doubt, go for a larger handbag rather than the smaller one. In general, your purse should match the color of your shoes although this isn't a crime that the fashion police will arrest you for if they don't match.

Keep in kind that women are shaped differently than men, so you may need some help to get a feminine silhouette.

You should consider investing in a decent pair of breast forms. You can go "cheap" and get foam ones but in the long run, you are better with silicone breast prosthesis. You can find forms at TheBreastFormStore.com, The FantasyGirl.com, or GlamourBoutique.com. Also, you can do a search on eBay for good deals. I recommend the asymmetrical forms and that you stick with known brands such as Nearly Me, Classique, Mystique, and Amoena. Here is a link to a search on eBay for breast forms: http://clothing.search-desc.ebay.com/breast-prosthesis-breast-form_Clothing-Shoes-Accessories_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC5QQdfspZ1QQfbdZ1QQfclZ3QQflocZ1QQfposZ06488QQfromZR14QQfrppZ200QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQfssZ0QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQftsZ2QQnojsprZyQQpfidZ0QQsaaffZafdefaultQQsabfmtsZ0QQsacatZ11450QQsacqyopZgeQQsacurZ0QQsadisZ200QQsaobfmtsZexsifQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ0QQsaslopZ1QQsatitleZQ28Q22breastQ20prosthesisQ22Q20Q22breastQ20formQ22Q29QQsofocusZbsQQsorefinesearchZ1

Since men do not have the same hips as women, you may wish to consider "hip pads." Fredrick’s of Hollywood sells an inexpensive set of padded panties, but if you can afford them, get a pair of "Veronica" hip pads from Classic Curves International (http://www.clcrv.com). This company that produces custom made body-enhancing foundation garments for crossdressing. These are simply the best hip pads that you will find. I have yet to find someone who has purchased "Veronica" hip pads who didn't think that they were the best she has ever worn.

Obviously, feminine hair styles are often very different from men's hair styles, so you may wish to get a good quality wig or else grow out your own hair and have it styled appropriately. Although there are many good wigs, few are more convincing than wearing your own hair. If you do grow your own hair out, just make sure to get it trimmed regularly or else it will quickly look bad. A bar or club that offers drag shows is often a great place to ask people where they get their wigs or hair done. Unfortunately, being 19, you may not be able to get into such places.

Eyebrows are really important with passing. Very few girls have big bushy monobrows, so get out those tweezers and clean them up! A beard trimmer works well to make sure the hair is not too long.

Beard cover is important. Get to a MAC store and have them help you pick out a beard cover that works for you. The store is very trans-friendly, so don't be embarrassed to go there and talk honestly about what you want. Find a color that matches your skin tone well and buy it, along with a color that is a couple of shades darker. With the two shades, you can contour your makeup much more.

For as usual as the answers may be her online, you would be better off with a mentor – often called a “Drag Mom.” I recommend getting to know some crossdressers in person. Try contacting a GLBT group at a local college or community center and start attending some of their events. If you can’t find local help, I recommend contacting "Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays" (PFLAG) http://www.pflag.org or True Colors, Inc. (http://www.ourtruecolors.org) which deals with trans youth.

Answer 2

Wow, Jamie gave you lots of excellent things to consider. I wish I could give her more than one thumbs up.

As has been said before, pay attention to what other girls your age are wearing, and dress similarly. The right hair, make-up, movement and mannerisms will help reinforce your feminine appearance, so observe and practice, practice practice.

I'm sure you already keep your face clean-shaven, but what about the rest of your body from the shoulders down? If you have not already, winter might be a good time to start shaving your legs, underarms, etc. Remember to use a nice body lotion to keep your skin feeling soft and smooth.

If you are going to go out and about, at some point you may have to interact with other people, so work on your voice and speech patterns too. There are a few websites you can search out that have exercises and tips on sounding more feminine. Again, observe the other girls, and practice what you hear.

Have fun, be careful, and enjoy being a girl!

Answer 3

A picture would be nice, but just accentuate your feminine features and try and draw attention away from the opposite. They have makeup videos on youtube, look at that. Buttock and breast pads will be ur new best friend. I guess.

Also try fashion magazines for clothes. It depends on what look you want. If you want the common popular look, Seventeen is nice. If you want to do drag, you can do a search on the net.

Answer 4

I can't improve on the answers you have already, but here is another website that maybe helpful. Lots of selection and pretty good turn around time... However, I prefer to shop in person at local stores.

Answer 5

The best tip I can give you is to dress appropriate for your age & for where you're going. Plus, I have to say listen to what "Jamie Dailey" says in her answer, there's a lot of good info there to help you out. Good luck & have fun.

Answer 10

Uh, dude, why do you and many other people intend on becoming something that god didn't put them on this world to be what is your problem, you should be proud on what you are not someone you are trying to be, I find you gross and embarrasing. REALLY
