I can't show pictures today ;).  

I went bra shopping at a high end lingerie store "Trousseau". They came highly recommended by everyone I know in the area including being known as trans friendly.  They have 160 sizes and if a bra is close but maybe the straps aren't long enough or there is a bit of pucker in the cup, the do alterations in house for free!!

Anyways, I went in and they took me to a dressing room and did a band measurement. She asked what styles I was looking for (I already told them the girls were new and I didn't have any bras to fit them)

She disappeared for about 5 minutes and came back with 3. She told me to try one on then she came back in. It fit perfectly.  She didn't even do a "bust measurement- she just knew by looking.  Armed with that, she started shopping for me while I would try things on and she would assess how it fit. Apparently, it's not just about your cup letter, but a "C" cup can come in many different cup profiles to fit different profile breasts- who knew. She knew the ones that best fit Augmented boobs since they tend to have a symmetrical balanced profile.  So... 15-18 bras later .......I narrowed it down and left with a smooth t-shirt bra that converts to a racerback, a plunge bra and a strapless/strap demi.  The brand was all Chantelle.  They are NOT CHEAP but the quality is light years better than anything I've tried on before. They don't have as much stretch as department store brands so according to her, if I treat them right, they should last for years.  I'm $260 poorer but I love my new bras.

My surgeon apparently gives all his patients an $80 gift certificate to there on my 3 month checkup so I think I will use that on something sexy and fun.

Neat! If I leave now, I can be there in just under nine hours if I avoid the toll roads. ?

 

Seriously though, it sounds like a great experience. A "small" business sounds right up my alley.

 

Hugs!

Pffft! I spent half that much on one pair of walking shoes that will wear out in 6 months!

 

thanks for the awesome research though. This will come in extremely handy one day, soon I hope!

Anyone near Chicago want to have coffee do a little thrift shopping on Oct 18th? I get in around 1pm and have the whole afternoon/evening free. Heading up to Wilmette for electrolysis on the 19th.

I might be able to do something. I work about 20 minutes from them.

I get down to Wilmette for electro every ten weeks. not Oct though.   FFS scheduled there too, and I don't have anyone with me.  it's like 3 1/2 hr drive to IL for me.  Also would love to meet up sometime

 

Today I'm going with this

Its a shame you're so far from the northeast @Maddee.  You look great today!!!!

This is actually from yesterday, but I got quite busy after I took the pic. It was quite hot (around 30C/84F) and so I got out the summer top and skirt to stay cool(ish). Back to more normal temperatures (17/18C) today, but it should stay dry for a meetup with some other trans friends this evening when I hope to put on a more posh frock :)

I'm wearing my brand new binder right now!

Congrats!

 

 

When I was at the consignment shop talking about schedules for my start date I noticed all the ladies had very supportive footbed sandals like birkenstock but prettier. It's a concrete floor and I will be on my feet for 7 hours which I haven't done since my RN days.  Most of my footwear is not "stand on your feet all day without a lot of pain" footwear. lol. I only have sneakers or hiking boots which aren't very stylish for working in a fashion shop. So what's a girl to do?  SHOPPING!

I went to a "Birkenstock" shop near me that sells other brands as well and found these Dansko corkbed sandals.  They felt great so I got these in the black and a dark red, pretty close to oxblood but a little redder.  This should get me through to late fall for almost anything I wear. (wow, I need a pedicure and leg shave lol)

They're comfy, easy and waterproof. You never know when you're going to get vomited on. At least I'll have dry socks.

 

Hugs!

Those look comfy!  
 

I know it’s early but I started browsing for ideas for Halloween! I’m kinda excited this year and will probably be wearing something completely NSFW this year since I have boobs for the first time. Lol. Was thinking a poison ivy costume.  My only challenge is we are having an outdoor party and you never know how cold it will get.

You're right, Halloween is JUST around the corner now isn't it. I'll need to figure out something for my anniversary and Kathy's party. Fortunately, my sister-in-law has her party a couple weeks after the holiday because a goodly portion of the guests work at haunted houses.

 

No freaking idea what I'm going to wear though.

 

Pro-tip on the NSFW Halloween costumes for other members who are less endowed like myself: Fake boobs exist. I personally own three pair and they work great for boosting your, ahem, profile if your look needs a bit more bust.

 

Hugs!

I haven't thought about a Halloween costume 'cause for me every day is Halloween. Seriously, I have no idea what to wear and one of our friends wants to have party. Oh, ya know what I could do? I met my partner around Halloween (15 years ago) and she was dressed as a sexy taxi driver. I wonder how bad it would go if I dressed as the sexy taxi driver this year.

Here's what I'm wearing today. Based on this picture, how stereotypically gay am I?

Also, this was my outfit today.

Wow - you are so absolutely woman, but if I'm honest I wouldn't like to meet you if my presence caused that expression! Definitely an assertive woman.

This was the outfit I wore yesterday evening to a meal with some Trans friends. I love this dress - it was the first decent evening dress I bought in May last year. It's had a few outings...

I’m still working on the “smiling more” thing.

I give a 9 out 10 on the definitely gay scale.

Something about that dress just makes me feel peaceful.

You look good, but you're not wrong. Some brighter colors would really pop on that outfit. Maybe a brighter blouse?

 

Hugs!

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks. 
    • VickySGV
      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
    • DonkeySocks
      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Free?!?!  That's insane.  I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.   My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣
