The hoodie dress is really warm and cosy. It's essentially a fleece dress with a hood. Ideal for pottering about the house or garden, or a quick trip to get some groceries. Would definitely recommend with the winter soon arriving.

As promised here are some photos of the petticoat. The room is my nephew's by the way and there are no curtains for his windows. A few trains passed by as I was taking these. Passengers could've easily looked out the window and seen me. I think (or hope) they would just see a woman dressed in red, and not be able to discern my bio male body. Honestly it's not worth me worrying about even if they did The first is just as is with it pulled over my top rather than tucked underneath. The second is the petticoat tucked underneath. The third is with the miniskirt on. I had trouble knowing how high the miniskirt should be pulled up, and how much of the petticoat to show. Help please! I think the first two both show off my figure quite well. The third is less flattering I feel. Of the three I like the second the best. You can see both my legs and my hands fairly clearly in this. I would appreciate your honest opinion of them. I think my legs are OK and the shape isn't noticably manly. I have slender hands too I think, and if shaved these would look feminine. You can see the bottom of my hair in this as well. As promised I will try to take some photos focusing on my long locks. I did take some at the same time as these but my unshaven face made cropping too fiddly. Perhaps I might try again once the offending stubble has been removed.

I love these. You're perfecting your look. The hair adds to it quite bit too. I wouldn't think that was a man's body in those pics if I wasn't told beforehand. You're getting pretty good at this.

Thank you very much Jessica. That's high praise indeed.
I think my style as a woman matches what I really liked to wear before, not so much recently, but when I took more care in my appearance. I had two turtle neck jumpers I used to love wearing, but hadn't been able to find any in the men's section for years. The black skirt has replaced the black trousers or jeans. I've loved wearing hoodies indoors for years, and now I can wear one as a dress. I have worn red a fair bit in the past and think it suits me a lot better than the navy I more commonly wore. The biggest addition to the outside appearance has been the stockings. I love those so much, both the sheer see-through type and the long socks. I think it's both the feel on the legs, and the bare thigh between the stockings and the skirt. You might recall it was that which set me off when I first wore a dress back in June. I only got the stockings at your suggestion, they were very much an afterthought.
The long hair has been quite a boon. It was there already there waiting for me, saved me buying a wig. Another thing is that I've had long hair for years so I'm just carrying on as normal. It really is so very gender affirming. Just to feel its length and see it out of the corner of my eye on my shoulders. Going back again to that night in June, I remember instinctually making my hair appear more feminine just before I tried everything on. I noted that in the very moment I was doing it. How my hands just did it of their own accord. That was my first inkling as to what was to come.

Photos of my hair will have to wait until Wednesday at least. I took some more after I shaved. The hair was OK, not perfect but good enough. However I didn't like seeing the face amongst my tousled locks. I swear I look much better when I see myself in the mirror. There were noticably heavy bags under my eyes through lack of sleep and too much crying. Though I go on a bit about how young I look, I didn't so much in those two pictures. It made this trans girl really feel her age. I know these were for the hair alone and that you wouldn't have seen, it's just the photos made me a bit sad that my face was too far distant to the one in my avatar.

I took some photos of my hair this morniing. The hair's not behaving its best, but this is more to show you what it looks like in real life and not after Faceapp. The big difference between the two is that Faceapp adds a lot of volume to it. I've cropped my face from these so they do look a bit odd with a great black void where my face is. The void is very jagged too as I wasn't using the best app for this. Hope these don't look to weird as a result. The first is mine brushed evenly to both sides. This is how I normally have it I sometimes have it in a side ponytail as well. I hope these give you a fair idea as to what my hair looks like, and that the quality of the pictures are OK. If I can get my hair looking better in future I'll try to capture that and post here.

You're quite lucky with that hair! I have to wear a wig and it just isn't the same.
You're getting braver with those pictures!

Saw this face changing site linked on Twitter, Hugging Face The results looked interesting so I gave it a go. One result I've used for my new avatar. They have other apps on the site but that's the only one I've tried. Here's two result that I really liked.

I thought your avatar looked a little different. I saw it and it seemed different and then I was like, "no, you're crazy" haha. Glad I haven't lost my mind!

I don't know if it's just me, but in the top two, you REALLY look like Kristen Stewart (I think, at least!) Either way, lovely photos š

That's very nice of you to say so. I had my hair ties back for those two, which made those look a bit different to the rest.
As usual these make me look way younger than I am. Also I always wear glasses, but Faceapp doesn't handle those very well, so I always take them off to take the photo. However whenever I use Faceapp to add them back in, it messes my face up a bit too much, makes me look less like myself.

I took some more photos last night. In processing these on Faceapp I seem to have created a timeline for myself - ranging from how I'd look in my early 20s to now. This is me in my early20s In my 30s My early 40s Me right now. This photo is probably the nearest to what I might actually achieve of any I've made
