Darlene . I myself felt that way and did not want to wear slacks , however now as i have gone out more and felt better about myself and my feminine side i find myself with various pairs of jeans etc in my wardrobe , which go well with boots which i love .
Like us all i still love to dress up hence always going to Transformal , but to feel feminine is not as said before just about the clothes.
Happy dressing

[Petra]

Happy to hear you have got your dress sorted , i picked my Transformal dress up Friday and find myself with a small issue as well , i hope to take it this week and get it sorted as time is running out .
However in Sydney there are many places to go , thankfully

[Petra]

Great to hear you had a good experience , good on you , not got that far myself but happy to hear your trip was great.

So many great reasons , just a few for me
The feeling of slipping on new stockings after your legs have been waxed , the smooth feel never fades for me .
I wine on the veranda with some nice music playing .
A taxi driver or random person saying ( have a good night girls ) always lifts my spirits
Sunday morning sleep ins , i don’t get many .
The smell of a new perfume
The comfort of a good fitting bra , im sure we all know this feeling ..lol
And last , the fact we can all walk down the street and feel proud and safe , is a great feeling for all

Hi yes City Chic is great , i shop at the Mount Druitt store in NSW and staff know me now although I shop in male mode only . I do take a bra etc with me to try on things and the girls couldn’t be more helpful , i have got a nice pair of shoes from them as well so if your a bigger frame girl its a great place to go . I must say Autograph are also good too . They even put me in there systems under Petra which is nice .

[Petra]

Thanks Caty will check it out and im in no rush ..probably dont need another set like lots of us but they look fantastic and i love the colour anyway ….more shopping :cheer:

[Petra]

Beautiful looking bra , must go and try one for myself , love the lace trim and pattern , and if they fit as well as they do you i will love it , it can e hard to find a nice looking and fitting bra sometimes .
Thanks for this

Caty i myself have only been swimming once and it was in the ocean and yes you need to ensure the forms are well attached..my first mistake i thought my swimsuit would hold them well enough ….big no to that…however i got 2 nice tankinis which have a skirt . Looked good and loved every second swimming but next time the twin keals need to be attached a lot better …happy swimming

[Petra]

Like so many of us i struggle with makeup and i unfortunately have strong male features but this was very interesting and helpful thanks for that.

[Petra]

Christina a great post indeed we need to stand together for the betterment of all ..i am guilty of not being out to family and friends but i agree whole heartedly with what you said .thanyou

[Petra]

Sara thanks for that , it was very interesting to see how some of the situations can be made funny when they clearly are not for the poor woman and men involved , it is a shame this still goes on but it is getting better slowly .
However this does make me think about the Transformal 2015, when we were there this year we were asked not to use the toilets down stairs , i honestly did not look or see the signs but i was told towards the end of the night and then saw the signs , this is a good example of the double standard .
Dont get me wrong the Carrington look after us very well and i love going to Transformals , but after watching this video it makes me think about the toilet situation , what is wrong with us girls using the toilet down stairs ??
They are happy to book all of us in there knowing 100% who they are booking but then ask us not to use the standard toilets ??
I dont want to cause any issue there but i find it interesting , what do you think about it ?
Petra :unsure:

Bridgette this was great to read , just goes to show it can happen and it was wonderful reading this , and to know that there is someone for everyone if you hang in there .
Thanks for a positive and uplifting post.
