 Skirts, Dresses and TrousersLook at the site of any self-respecting tranny and you will see photos of them wearing a very short skirt (usually accompanied by high heels and stockings. But take a closer look (not that I need to suggest this to the visitors to most transgender sites), do these pieces of material (often denim) that some women would regard more as belts than clothes, really suit the t*girl wearing them. Often the answer is actually, Yes. Believe it or not trannies (ahem, men) have better legs than women. Our legs gather less fat (or cellulite as women like to call it to divert attention from what it actually is) and, unless we are joggers or runners, our muscle tone tends to make our legs look surprisingly shapely. Being taller, we often have longer legs too. All this means that many transvestites can get away with wearing short skirts and still look good.Having said all this, the question you should really ask is whether a short skirt (or a dress that barely covers your knickers is appropriate for the place and circumstances where you intend to wear it. Also, a carefully chosen skirt or dress can enhance your figure and make you look more feminine (and, ironically, less like a tranny!) Knee-length (and I mean skirts that come down to the knee - many 'knee length' female skirts are too short to do this on most trannies) skirts teamed with knee-high boots can make an excellent combination. Full length skirts can also be good too, but often give a more mature look, or depending on the style a more 'hippy' or 'goth' look. |
Dress CodeDresses can be difficult to wear. T*Girls' figures are quite different from 'regular' women, especially around the shoulders and the hips (which also tend to be of different sizes), we are also longer, and the style and design of most dresses are not designed for our special needs. There are specialist shops and dressmakers that will tailor a dress to your personal needs, however this can be expensive. Something with thin shoulder straps is often a good start as opposed to something with short sleeves, as broader shoulders will still fit. Likewise, something more flowy will be better than something tight fitting. This is the reason that many girlz tend to stick to wearing a skirt with a top rather than wearing a dress.Another piece of fun is decoding the various names for different types of skirt (and dress) styles. Below is a brief attempt to demystify some of the more obscure terms:

 Trousers? Not on your nelly!Some transvestites would never be seen dead in a pair of trousers. In fact there are those who believe (wrongly) that only transsexuals wear trousers. Their logic is difficult to follow but seems to go along the line that as trousers are less 'girly' they indicate less of a desire to look like a woman, and a greater desire to actually be one and thus unequivocally prove that you have gone beyond the tranny stage and are now firmly transsexual.I would argue that trousers can be very feminine - when do you most notice someone's arse (or 'ass' as the americans would say)? Is it when they are wearing a skirt or a dress, or is it when they are wearing well fitting (often tight) trousers? Nuff said! Teamed with a nice pair of boots or sandals, trousers can be just as sexy as a skirt and using the 'less is more' concept, the less flesh on show, the greater the effect. What's more, female trousers are something that most t*girls could wear at the weekend or at work when not dressed, as the difference between female and male trousers (especially jeans) can be very subtle, especially to the untrained (i.e. non-tranny) eye. I know many t*girls who happily wear womens' jeans to work to allow them to feel a bit girly without the least bit worried about being spotted. Remember though, that on button-up jeans, the buttons will do up the opposite way on womens and mens jeans which can be a bit confusing, and embarassing, the first time you get it wrong whilst stood in the 'gents' room! |
