I've found these two dresses, both can be safely delivered to a locker BTW. The floor-length dresses are too long for the occaison, also a bit impractical to wear in the house too. I also looked at tops but nothing really stood out Yellow Vintage Rockabilly DressBurgundy Evening DressI'm thinking the first might suit a chunky middle-aged lady like me, more than the other does. What do you girls think? I'm not set on going to January's meet-up, but do want to start going along within a few months. I do need to put some thought into what I'm going to wear if I do present as female. So picking these clothes is a lot more difficult knowing that I might wear them there. Though I obviously I want to wear what I'd like and not restrict myself, I'm also worried about looking ridiculous. That though they might look nice on the models, they won't suit me.

I'd totally buy the wine colored one, but if I were looking for something to actually make my public debut and not just for funsies by myself I'd buy the yellow one.
Oh man, its so exciting just to think about. I am living vicariously through you on this.

I thinking something similar. The burgundy dress is for a more fancy occaison or a date <gulp>, this is more like a casual get-together as far as I can tell. The yellow dress is also a fair bit cheaper too. My main worry with both is that they are sleeveless, so I'll have to do something about my hairy arms. This was the best long-sleeved dress I could find at a reasonable price. Do you think this a bit too much? Would plainer be better? I could get both this and the yellow dress of course. If I had to choose one I'd go with the blue one though. Long Blue Floral DressI'm a bit concerned about my stomach sticking out too much, I think what's why I don't like myself in that white floral dress so much. As a result I've added some shapewear for tummy control (as they put it). I actually looked at some guides for that to see the difference between all the options. So far I've got the following in my basket - those two dresses, the shapewear, the bikini, the nightie and the flats. These all come within budget, so I think I'm putting Ā£100 to good use.

If your worried about your arms, what about getting a cardigan or something to go over the top? Cardigan might be the wrong word... Basically something that isn't a top of itself, but is designed to just go over the top, like a shawl with arms or something... I am describing this terribly - I feel like we're playing a Christmas party game where you have to describe the thing without using its name, but I'm doubly hampered by not even actually knowing its name š

Thanks for your suggestion. I hadn't thought of that. They do match my style too I think.

I think cardigan is the right word and I think it is a great idea. The yellow dress and the cardigan.

I'm going for the white version of the yellow dress. I don't think yellow actually matches me, it looks fine on the model because of her colouring but wouldn't on me. I also won't be buying that blue dress I showed you, I'm not sure it will fit as it recommends to buy a size up, and that's the largest size already. It seems to be designed for a narrower frame than the yellow one as well. I'm thinking that I might as well just start getting clothes delivered straight to my home. With Omicron around I'm avoiding going out as much as possible, so don't really want to catch it getting these clothes. If this gives them any clues then I'd rather that than bring Covid into the house. Also they're going to be told eventually. ADDENDUM - I ordered the nightie, the bikini, the shapewear and the shoes. I didn't order any of the dresses as that can wait until at least February now. This is all to be delivered here at home not to a locker.

Very good. I love that you are thinking about what clothes you are going to make your debut in. Very exciting.

Everything just arrived except for the nightie. I have just put on the bikini. It's wonderful, just what I hoped for and more. I'm loving the ruffle neck, I feel so cute and adorable in it all.

Jessica, I can't quite express how happy I am right now. I wish you could see my beaming smile. A large part of that is down to you. I would not be doing this without this site and your encouragement. I'd be giving you the biggest hug ever right now if I could. <3 <3 <3 Sandi

My nightie came this afternoon. I got so excited just seeing it in its bag. Like the bikini it's so cute and adorable, very pink too! I'm leaving it in there to admire. Don't think I've quite got over the bikini yet, so this can wait a bit longer. Will probably wear later when it's closer to bedtime.

So happy that all your new purchases seem to be working out perfectly It's always a gamble with online isn't it, but when they turn out better than expected... well you can't really ask for more than that!

I have been a bit taken aback about how much I love that bikini. I've said about how much I wanted one of those cute bras. It seems like a real inner need I had to make that part of me look attractive. Literally attractive too - to attract attention to that part, to adorn them so that eyes are drawn to them. It seems my inner psyche seems very focused on that area. Looking back now, before I came to this forum I had two different notable experences focused around my breasts. Both of which I can see now as signs, one more obvious than the other, the latter one I did pay attention to, the former I saw as more sexual than anything gender based. Sorry to be coy about this. Any of you that want to know can ask via DM to find out.
