Where do you get your clothes from?

I get a lot of stuff from Next online (I collect from a local store/return if it doesn't fit), ASOS, Shein and Boohoo.

 

I also get a lot of stuff from Primark in the flesh, as I'm quite andro looking even in 'boy mode' and if I have a mask on most people can't tell I'm a 'biological boy' so to speak.  I get 100% of my jeans from there, tights, jackets and the odd dress/seperates.   Most of my lingerie actually comes from Ann Summers, but not the sexy stuff, just the normal wear bits they have on sale and I'm brave enough to just walk in, browse and buy.  The most dificulty I have there is getting a bra in my size (36A) but that happens online as well.

Being rather large I shop at City Chic online for outer wear.  We do have a CD focused shop Lady Bits about an hour drive away that has a selection of Large size shoes amongst other Items. Great service. I have M12 feet and need a W15 in closed toe footwear. I am (impatiently) waiting on some shoes from Asos, when I buy something I want it now. lol

I use Amazon a lot. I went a little crazy when I realized that you can order stuff and then pick it up at a drop location like Whole Foods of Kohls.

I'm usually found at the Target clearance rack. I've done most of my in person shopping at Walmart and target. Online I've bought from Amazon and Shein, but I may stop buying online, I'd rather try things on before buying.

Help!

 

Completely new to buying clothing, what kind of things would I need to start with? I was thinking of something that is female, but people couldn't tell - things like high waisted trousers, does that make sense?

 

What style of skirt / dress / top does everyone recommend?

A good idea is to look at what the other women in your age range are wearing in your area.  Unless you really want to stand out - which is not always the best idea.

I like shopping at Walmart. I rarely order things online because I want to try clothing on in a store to be sure it fits me, and that it looks flattering (I hope). I'm really into yoga pants/leggings lately and Walmart has plenty of colors and sizes to choose from, and their prices are very reasonable. And they are sooo comfortable! 

 

Otherwise I like consignment dress shops, quirky (but not overly expensive) boutiques, and even thrift stores sometimes (if something really catches my eye there). I shop all of them in-person, only ordering online if I can't find whatever it is I need locally.

 

Once upon a time, I would never have summoned up the courage to face other people when buying girly things for myself. But nowadays, whether I look very femme on a particular day or not, I'll just stroll right in to the ladies sections acting as if I own the place. And browse around and pick things out, just like the other girls do. Because I have the same right to be there.

I got some new clothes from White Stuff today. I think they do some really nice items. It can be a bit expensive sometimes, but you can usually see their stuff in other shops on sale.

I've found that once i established a style and now know my size in that style that eBay works well for me.  I have learned that searches can be narrowed to a point that the flood of possibilities doesn't lead me too far afield.

 

Hugs,

Kohls clearance racks sometimes have some nice stuff... I bought lots of shorts there back in the spring (of course they were full-priced then -- I couldn't wait)...

Amazon! I like Amazon because of its fast delivery. The variety of clothes is good enough to me.

Yes! And, at least where I live, you can have items delivered to a place like Kohls or Whole Foods in case you are worried who might notice what has arrived on your doorstep...

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
