my parents had pictures of me wearing my sisters crinolines when i was just 1 yr old which i really do not remember this. when i was 9 i was in my closet where mom also keplt my sisters dresseses there. i started sticking my head up into a green dress and kept getting more and more excited each time until i finally pulled if off the hanger and put it on. it was the most exciting feeling wearing a dress. i kept it up until my grandmother caught me wearing both of my sisters crinolines with a black and white polka dot dresss. throughout the years i kept wearing dresses, everyone in my family knew but no one would say anything directly to me. than one day my father told me i needed to stop dressing in my sisters clothes.

to make a long story short for the past 50 years i have been wearing dresses and crinolines. i have been married ofr 33 years and my wife has no problem with my dressing as we have no children. i currently adore wearing wedding crinolines with wedding dresses. i have an evening gown, two wedding dresses and 7 wedding crinolines along with numerous skirts and dresses. I do not go out in public but have on more than one occasion.

all i can say is you need to live your life in the fashion that makes you happy and hope others will understand. i do not consider cross dressing as a sickness i just happen to have a femme side to my life which must be addresses to make me feel normal. i will always wear a dress to satisfy my femme side and to me that is as normale as wearing a pair of pants which by the way i hate. give me a lacy dress with a stiff crinoline any day of the week

Yes I agree, as I enjoying getting dress as you say "to me it is normal". And the best things in life that keep you happy are the best for your health. *-*

Bobby, I couldn't agree more with your choice of fashion! I love the 50's styles with the full skirts and plenty of pouf underneath! I have made multiple shirt type dresses with box-pleated skirts and always wear they around the house. My wife supports my hobby, and is just a wonder to me.

Welcome to the forum! Hope to meet you in the chatroom one day!

Hope -wel-

Bobby,
Happy to have another "poufbunny" here! I don't dream of dressing without a petticoat. The late 50's were the era of true feminine fashion.

Pouf on,
Rikki

Thanks for the intro Bobby! You go for it girl! *-*

I loved a lot of the 40's and 50's fashion too - especially the land girl dresses and the work of Edith head. Some of the dresses she designed for Audrey Hepburn were great! And as for the Hubert de Givenchy Gowns - well I'd sell my arms to own one!
