Australian crossdressers

[Guest Maria_B]

Hi Ivanka, wish I could go to the MC! But I'm up in QLD. I did go to the Brisbane Cup though (Not like thats a big deal, however )

[Guest Lupi]

I'm from SA. Wish I had a tux to wear to the races though. It's so much easier for you ladies, just picking out a nice dress!

[Guest ivanka]

Come on, Maria. If you are interested, it's too easy to fly to MC! I have been to Asutralia for 4 years and I've been to QLD. Anyway, did you go to the Brisbane Cup dressed as a woman? For me that would be a big deal. I do not go dressed up in a nice dress only due to the family commitment. My wife has stated it clearly that Ivanka must not go out. Lupi, why? Do you think to wear a tux is more expensive than to wear a nice dress?

[Guest Maria_B]

A nice Tux can be anywhere upwards of 600, and thats just for the blazer!

I go everywhere as a woman now-a-days Ivanka (I'm MtF), been full time for... uhhh, a long while

[Guest Lupi]

Not just more expensive luv, but harder to get my hands on too. There aren't many places I even know of that sell them.

On the topic of dresses v suites, I can usually find nice dresses for like under $50, but a cheap suite is like $100 on sale.

Anyone from Kalgoorlie? Untill I can pass really well there's no way in hell would I be going to the Kalgoorlie cup as Sarah LOL

Maybe one year though we could all meet up and go to the Melbourne cup in fem mode and all enter the fashion parade! now that would be a laugh.

I gota agree with everyone who thinks a dress is cheaper than a suit. Even as a guy with a real typical mans body I find it easier finding dresses that fit myself well than compared to finding a well fitting suit.

It's because we are obsessed with female fashion. I have very good looks as a man. A female friend of mine commented recently upon a photo of me in a business suit on facebook: you look like a model

I have things to wear when I want. But I will never search for male things. But I can spend hours, years examining female fashion. It's more fun for me. As a result, no wonder it's easier for us to find things that make us beautiful. Not because there are no decent business suits offered.

By the way, I have fallen in love with this dress: http://www.lightinthebox.com/a-line-straps-sweep-brush-train-chiffon-tulle-evening-dress_p245977.html?utm_campaign=cartcross

Anyone knows where I can buy it under $50 brand new?

[Simon/Sarah]

Light in the Box has got some real nice dresses if you got the right physique however not me though. Good luck luck with finding that dress for $50.

Sorry girls but I don't crossdress any more - I've gone full time now. I worked out about a year ago that I am MTF trans and I've started HRT over 4 months ago - hence my profile pic looking a tad bit 'girlier' than in the past.

I would still say yes to getting dressed up and going out somewhere sometime - it's just that I get to wear these clothes all day every day (which is great btw)

That was more a rhetorical question. I do not think it’s possible to find this dress under $50. I know where you are coming from, but not this dress. In my opinion, the fact that you are happy with the dress under $50, does not mean that female fashion is cheaper. I am trying to match a tux level. Even with this dress I doubt we are comparing equal things. If a nice Tux is anywhere upwards of 600, why not match it with a designer dress where only sky is a limit. Simple dress like this http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/361197 and the price is $911.92. Besides, a tuxedo can easily be matched with black classic shoes for $20 and that’s about it. Female dress up (if it’s a special event) includes professional make up, hair-dressing, jewellery and other fashion accessories which can sum up in thousands of dollars. Besides, it’s not a drama if the same tux goes to all important events, whereas in female fashion it’s a drama to be in the same dress twice. And that’s the most important things. Even if you buy thing for $ 50 often, you end up spending more than $ 600 as for a tux once in a while. Jenny, yes, nice picture but a very important step. I hope you know what you are doing.
