The beginning phase...

[KeriB]

Having read a few of the posts here, and others in different forums as well, we all share the common theme. A few things I remember are being dressed in a girl's nightie and my aunt's new wig when I was probably around 8-10 years, not sure. About that time, I also remember my aunt doing her laundry, seeing her girdle, and trying it on. Those are the earliest recollections.

I started crossdressing in my pre-teens, beginning with the discovery of my grandmother's wardrobe - I was pretty much raised by her, so I spent alot of time at her home, and also 8 weeks at our beach house in Maine every summer. Getting back to the story, for me for quite a while it was purely a fetishistic thing - I loved the confining feel of girdles be they panty or all-in-ones or OBGs, along with stockings and a slip.. you know, the feel of it all. Eventually, probably by about 16, I added dresses and shoes, and jewelry, to my CD'ing, I'm pretty sure my grandmother had known, but she never said anything to me about it.

I was able to crossdress pretty much thru high school, then college kind of stopped things till breaks. That for me was my beginning...

Glad you had a nice beninning with your grandma etc. I started at age 7, when i dirtied my last play clothes. It was stayting inside wearing my sister's dress or staying in bed for the day in pigamas. My sisters didn't mind me wearing their old dresses and treated me like one of their own. It was a nice and friendly feeling that I enjoyed in my youth.
