Wondering about a blouse style

Hello, everyone. As I've mentioned elsewhere on my LP blog, I've finally started my new job! The topic, of course, isn't about that, but about the uniform, specifically the top! We get some good-natured ribbing about it, because both ladies and gentlemen wear the same thing. It is, quite literally, a blouse, and it's really cute! I just don't know what the style is called, and I'd love to find more of the same kind. I don't know what the material is, but it's plain white, has no buttons and a V-necked collar, slight shoulder puffs and a chest seam that purposely bunches the material a bit. Anyone recognize it, by any chance?

Mmhm! Here's a picture I took of it. It's a bit grainy, but otherwise pretty good, even if it does look like my left arm is gone. I took off the nametag that goes with it since it, of course, gives my real name, work place, but also my birth state.

I believe shirts/blouses that have a seam across the chest like that are called smocks. Congratulations on the new job! :)

I'm extraordinarily tempted to use it in a non-work outfit once I get the chance to really go shopping, since I've actually got two. :3 What sorts of things would work with it, d'you think? Also, I asked my little sister and her friend what they thought it was, and the best they could come up with was "some kind of Shakespearean thing". X3 They agree that it looks good, but sadly I had to pretend that I didn't like having to wear it and that it was weird that I have to wear it. While the latter might be a valid point (Might.), I love wearing it. It's really cool and easy to move around in (which is, I think, the whole point).

Ah, thank you! That does seem to be what it is (or at least very close)! I appreciate it. And thank you for the congratulations. I'm really enjoying myself. It's a job solidly in my element.

Can I get one in purple? mint green? I agree with Charlie, I want to work there too. I don't care if it is hair dressing, food service, science lab, or theater productions :)

Out of curiosity, what industry is it? I can't imagine manly men wanting to wear a poufy sleeved smock... Of course, that isn't my problem, lol!

It is VERY cute. I think I have one that is similar. I would send it to you but I don't think Mauve would work.if you can't wear a pretty color of your chice. I do think the skirt idea would be fantastic. mmmmmmm Any job openings?

Hi, everyone! My job's been keeping me really busy. ^^; I actually already gave my job in the first post my blog: Skyride operator at Busch Gardens. The blouse is supposedly unisex, since both guys and girls wear it, and there isn't an alternate uniform. And yes, there are manly men that do wear it. As you can probably imagine, we get a few teasing comments about the uniform from the guests, but they actually make me happy.

In other news, I'm going shopping tomorrow! It's that most wonderful of days for little worker drones and once I've taken care of my budgeted expenses and such, I'm going to have fun. :3 I'm going to get those skirts and flats you all suggested. Do you think I should get a cloth tape measure and get myself measured? Where would I even find one of those?

P.S.: I'm not particularly worried about unwelcome attention. I have to do all sorts of interesting juggling just to get to work and back, and onsite security is very quick and competent. Then there's my dogs at home. Whee!

Very handy to have. CVS Drugs, RiteAid, (Any of them) Wal Mart or any fabric store or craft store with a sewing section will have them. Real fun to have for checking bra sizes. Much more comfortable to use than a contractors steel measuring tape.

I can imagine! Thank you for the tip! I'll be sure to swing by one of them and grab one. There used to be a nice blue one lying around the house, but I haven't seen it for years. My dad used it back when he was in the Army.

      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!

      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol.

      Ashley, I think searching for relationships are a lot like searching for jobs, they tend to come along when you aren't actually looking.  Perhaps you could step back from actively searching, at least for a little while, and instead, concentrate on just being out and about as yourself.  Like Mae and Abby have already mentioned, just keep up your volunteering, but don't focus on a need to find someone.  Maybe, just maybe, changing your tactics will result in someone finding you.    I do wish only the best for you, and I hope someone comes along who connects with you.

      First off, you can't regret being honest. You may not be changing the relationship, but it sounds like it still exists!   As for meeting people, what about through the volunteering you're doing? Maybe you can do more of that and meet people. Let some relationships grow and if they blossom into something more than friendship, great! If not, you've got more friends!

      Hi Giz, welcome. There's so many different ways to be trans and you're so welcome here. I wish you luck in achieving your goal of being more androgynous. There's forums in here that might suit you and your goals. I look forward to hearing more from you. I go by he/they pronouns at the mo.
