How often do you think about dressing?
-
i think about it everyday, a lot of the day. In guy mode walking through the shops I get constant urges to spend up big! This is the best reason for me to consider ever going fulltime. But I don’t think that’s me. I think it takes up so much of my time in thought because it perhaps takes up too little in practice.
Though I do try to take regular time, it isn’t often quality time and I’m never free to dress whenever like real girls. 
Oh well, I can still write my name in the snow 😆 -
The longer I dress the more I think about dressing. Like Alex I am at the point where I look in shops at what would suit me and am now looking more at women who are my age and let’s say shape to see what works etc. I look forward to returning home every evening so I can get out of my male clothes and dress in a more comfortable manner.
Is this the extension of what I have done for the past three or four years or is it the next stage? I honestly do not know, but I am enjoying the journey and letting itb take me to where I need to be.

I dress every day to some degree,clear nail polish for hands,coloured for toe nails,discreet eye makeup and mascara.Nobody seems to have noticed.I have developed stategies for dealing with public change rooms in the hospitality industry.I will partly dress,panties and hose and wear my black chef pants to work.I conceal silicon breast enhancers in a Ah Bra and cover with a loose tshirt.Just chuck Chef jacket over teashirt.Fine in winter a lot of venues are very cold in winter ;yes even in a kitchen.Summer strategy? No hose.Plain panties usually ,in plain colours,nobody comments on smooth legs these days as most athletes shave their legs.Chesticles?Same deal but with a light weight poly or merino thermal the thermals wick away body moisture. using these strategies it is avery quick and easy way to change once you arrive home.We all need or crave some excitement in our lives but as stated above in an earlier post; Quote:”You can’t live in a constant state of excitement”End quote.My major motivation is emotional need,to be in a place where I feel comfortable.

For me, thinking about dressing is all about finding a new outfit which will probably include shoes, wigs, underwear and the outer garments. I’m on the internet daily and always looking at cross-dressing sites that provide garments or general internet sites for women’s clothing. I dress in some form or another at least 3 times per week. This may include wearing female undergarments to my work area. I do find that the interest in fashion and makeup consumes much of my time if my hands are idle.. I would say I think of it on a daily basis!
-
All the time, from the moment I wake to the moment I go to sleep and often in my dreams.
As I get older it seems to dominate most of my thoughts. If I see a lady in an attractive outfit I wonder how I would look in it or I wonder where she bought it.
Really, what else is there in life to think about..?
-
For about 5mins in the morning and maybe once in the arvo and then the gym never really think about it cause I’m living a fraily normal life now

Im a lot like some of the other respondents – I spend a lot of time thinking about my clothes and what others are wearing, especially when I cant dress. My wife and a couple of friends know I dress fully. My secretary does as well and has see pics of me. Today I commented on her dress and she offered to loan it to me sometime when I need something like it.
I do dress partially each day, mainly my lingerie. To make it interesting my wife and I try to coordinate what we wear.

Well, myself, a bout 90% of the time, including when asleep!
As a CD and not interested in transitioning, cding has taken over a BIG part of my life. I wear panties 24/7 and usually a cami or bra at the least. While my wife knows of my “panty fetish” and goes along with it to some degree, the extent I dress to while alone at home is something she has yet to find out. As I work shift work, I’m home alone a fair bit, so yes, thinking what I will wear on those occasions is fairly time consuming. As I don’t have the opp to go out dressed, the vast majority of my clothing is underwear/lingerie. As I get older, the collection in my dresser drawers increases and my wife only has to take a look inside them to discover how I have expanded my wardrobe , my constant thinking about dressing making me more and more care free about any consequence. -
I have to say that the first opportunity I get to slip into something fem gives me the most euphoric experience, ..like it has become my whole life and I can’t seem to function without it.
When circumstances edict that I must wear drab, I feel tired, old and unable to function. I lose my memory and get frustrated with myself when I can’t do things I once could. I have absolutely NO interest in male clothing and wear the same shabby track daks and cardie day in, day out. In Winter I will expand my style and wear a flannelette shirt, always teamed with the oldest worn out moccassins you could imagine. I sit in the backyard and watch the sparrows, with no inspiration to do anything else, except smoke a cigarette and let life pass me by. I have no interest in sport of any kind, my preferred isolated lifestyle has never permitted other male friends into my solitude, and I’m sure I would easily sit in the pub and drink myself silly in the belief that there was nothing else in life for me to do.
BUT as soon as I am able, as soon as I wake up in the morning, I slip into my favourite house wear; a pair of black leggings, little ballet shoes and a colourful little top, ..I become a new person. I run around the house and tidy up, load the washer, vac the floors, wash the dishes, oh, …I must get on my walker and do 30 mins today, ..also I must to get out into the garden and repot those drab geraniums if I have time after I’ve washed the car. I love housework, and I can see what needs dusting and what doesn’t. …My whole outlook on life changes, I can and do multitask quite often. I feel so much younger, so full of life and energy. I want to don my skins and little top and walk to the shops because I know I need to lose that little male pot belly that is creeping up on me. How much I want to slip into that lovely strapless green dress that I could get into last summer. Yes, …I may even watch the netball today over a glass of moscato (I would have played it had I been younger). My body language changes in an instant, the way I stand whilst chatting with friends on the phone, ..the feminine way I walk around the house, …I can and do skip and feel ever so happy with myself whilst I do, …dah de dah, …need I go on ??
Yes, …to have the opportunity to pleasure my twin spirit and just simply dress as the gender of my choice has become the fabled fountain of youth for me that men have searched for since the year dot, …I can’t explain it any other way. It is just sheer bliss. :queen: -
I’m with you Liz, …I forgot to mention that my ‘hobby’ has consumed my entire life also. So many, many hours I have wasted (no, not the right word), being alone and doing my thing, posing in front of my mirror, perfecting my look, practicing my walk, even.
I was fortunate to have a Govt. job where I was on call, …which meant I spent so many happy hours at home when I really should have been attempting to climb the corporate ladder I guess. Others would have made a success of their lives, but not me. I was always far happier shakin’ my booty in solitude, without a care in the world.
Would I have changed anything ?? …Not on your Nellie !! …I’ve just realised now however, ..that I would have made a far better Secretary or Girl Friday than I ever did as a Handyman/Maintenance worker, that’s for sure !! -
I recall doing a post on this subject about eighteen months ago and at that stage Caty was just “re-emerging”. (Well… perhaps from the very, very, back of the closet to peeping out the door and making sure she was not back lit!!!).
So I guess the 2013 answer for me is split into two halves….
1/. I do like to read about cd’ing on the net and spend quite a lot of time on the net on sites like fictionmania and femulate. To this must firstly be added the time I spend “Caty shopping” on line, which according to my credit card statement is frequently!!! Next up would be the time spent on TGR and communicating via e.mail and phone with my very much valued TGR friends.
2/. With my “better ‘arf” away for two days on a reasonably frequent basis, the chance for Caty time is nowadays quite frequent. So I guess during those times and just before and after, I spend a significant amount of time planning what to wear, enjoying the Caty time, then reflecting on it all afterwards. Sometimes with regrets, others happily getting on with my “male life”.
Like Jannine stated, I think I adopt feminine traits when dressed. Walking, sitting, eating, (small portions!!) hand gestures, posture, (shoulders back, chest out). Even “going to the ladies”. But then the latter is rather obvious isn’t it!!…
However the overarching thing for me in my “middle age” years is to no matter to what extent I indulge in the above, is not to “die wondering”. By this I mean “I wonder what it would be like to wear that gorgeous evening gown I am looking at on the net.”
To paraphrase the famous exhortation by John Kennedy, Hawthorn AFL coach of many moons ago
“Dont wonder Caty… just do”.

I seem to think about being dressed a lot most of the time when I am out and I see how other girls look and the clothes thatthey wear

It’s interesting how things fluctuate. When I first read this post over 12 months ago, I used to think about dressing all the time. Every spare minute I would be thinking about it or shopping online, trying to find out everything there is to know.
12 months later armed with all the knowledge I found along the way and the clothes from my shopping I am in a very different place. At present I very rarely wear male undergarments, and even as I sit here tapping away on the keyboard I am wearing a cute little pink bra and knickers set. Just part of everyday life now.
I think as we travel further along the road of self exploration and self acceptance it blurs into the norm. The main thing I am always mindful of is the silhouette of my bra straps through my shirts. It would be terrible if I would be outed by a work colleague.
To answer the original question, I think about dressing up fully a lot still, however I always dress to some degree with my undergarments. Because of this I think the time spent day dreaming about dressing is actually a lot less.

Hello girls. How often do I think about dressing? Well I often think about it when I’m out shopping with my partner. As we go about our business I often admire the way other women dress and wonder how I would look wearing the dress they have on. Sometimes my mind wonders to the need to dress and be free of my male bonds. If only I could do that more often I would be much happier. So I pretty much think about it 90% of the time.
