It's a Very Nice Dress

As I mentioned here, I bought a dress at Macy’s before doing outreach on Tuesday: a Calvin Klein sleeveless black and white colorblock textured sheath.

I always prefer to shop for womenswear as a woman. Wearing foundation garments, wig, makeup, heels, etc., I can see how the clothing will really fit and look on me, whereas presenting as a male, I have to use my imagination when I try on a dress or skirt or top. AND Sometimes my imagination runs away from me and I end up returning the item because when I tried it on at home en femme, it doesn’t work for one reason or another.

Tuesday, I tried on the dress as a woman. It looked fabulous on me and I bought it.

A few days later, I tried the dress after I got out of the shower. No foundation garments, no wig, no makeup, no nothing except the naked male I pretend to be and the dress still looked fabulous on me! Most womenswear does not work with me when I present as a male, but this dress does!

It’s a very nice dress!
