Plus-Size Cross Dresser Clothing
I think it’s fair to say that most cross dressers have some difficulty in finding clothes to fit their manly proportions. But, worry not. Times are changing…
The majority of U.S. females are, on average, over the size 14, so retailers and designers are now turning their attention to the ‘plus-size’ market. As a result, this market segment is providing cross dressers with more fashion opportunities and a larger selection of essential pieces.
With that in mind, here are a few tips for you to consider when shopping for great cross dresser clothing.
The Right Support
I can’t emphasize the importance of quality undergarments to provide support where it’s needed. If you look and feel great, believe me – you’ll ooze confidence. Investing in good-quality foundation garments will serve you well.
Understanding Your Body Shape
Knowing what will complement your body shape helps to avoid expensive and embarrassing mistakes. In general, there are seven body types: triangle, oval, diamond, rectangle, figure eight, hourglass and inverted triangle. There is no good or bad, but knowing your body shape will ensure that you choose clothes that flatter.
Colors
Some colors will look good on you. Some won’t. Using the right colors will keep you looking your absolute best and should be staple items in your closet. You shouldn’t be afraid to experiment with colors, but try to avoid those that don’t do you any favors.
Fabrics & Prints
Cross dressers should avoid extremely tight clothing, such as stretchy fabrics like polyester. Heavier fabrics that keep their shape are a better option as they will not accentuate your masculine parts.
The shape and fit of a garment are often more important than texture, color and print. Well-fitting clothes can really help to create an enviable figure. Sadly, many larger ladies make the mistake of choosing baggy clothes in an attempt to hide their lumps and bumps. In reality, loose-fitting clothes only make you look bigger.
V-neck tops, wide leg trousers and A-line skirts are known to be very flattering for the larger lady.
Accessories
Try to keep your accessories in proportion to your body size. For example, delicate rings will look out of place if you have very large hands.
Keep these tips in mind when shopping for cross dresser clothing and you’ll be sure of a much more fulfilling experience.
Cross Dressing Shops: The Ultimate Style Guide for the Taller Girl
Getting standard-sized clothing to look and fit well is a task for any cross dresser, but it’s even more of a challenge for taller girls. The good news is that the perfect look can be accomplished with the help of the right cross dressing shops and a little know-how. There are several stores that cater to the taller girl market and they can provide you with the clothing that you need to attain the perfect feminine appearance.
Purchasing the right clothes goes hand in hand with feeling great about your height. You need to realize that being tall is beautiful and that you should not feel awkward about having an above-average height. You cannot change this aspect of your appearance and it is better to accept yourself and your identity.
You can then focus on purchasing clothing that will make you look great. Following some basic guidelines will make the entire process much easier and more fun.
To start off, you should always buy clothes that fit well. Even though you may fall in love with a pair of pants that only come in a regular-length, you should resist temptation and walk away unless you can have them lengthened. Knowing what works best for your body is important and settling on an outfit which isn’t quite right, is best avoided. Wearing clothes that are too short will only attract attention to your height. This is why cross dressing shops that specialize in tall sizes are recommended.
One alternative is to have your clothing custom-made. Although it may cost you more, you can be sure of a perfect fit. I would say that investing in a few great-looking key items is far better than a huge collection of not-so-great ones.
Using belts to accessorize your outfits is also a great way to improve your feminine figure and to make your waist look smaller. The right belt can completely transform an ordinary outfit into a spectacular one. A wonderful advantage to being tall is that a wide belt will complement a tall body nicely. This allows you to collect a large number of belts.
Shoes also enhance an outfit. Just because you are tall, it doesn’t mean that you can’t wear high-heeled shoes. They are an essential piece to any woman’s wardrobe. Just remember to stand up straight so that your posture is perfectly aligned and be confident.
If you want to wear a short skirt, then you should pair it with knee-high boots. Tall cross dressers will also find that bias-cut dresses work really well, as do fitted blouses. Textured or horizontal fabrics also look wonderful.
You should be proud of your body’s unique features. Your long hands and long legs are very feminine attributes, so don’t shy away from making the most of them.
