I've always wanted to crossdress since the age of 12 but was confused with my feelings but now at 21 i know for a fact that i'd like to crossdress because in the beginning i went into my Mums room and found this Girl's Gym Leotard anyway i put it on and felt good.
Now i've got my very own Dress bought from eBay which is a size 12 and it fits as i'm an overweight chap.
Anyway thats my beginning...

Welcome Janet,
Hopefully this will be a place to clear up siome confusion, which is something most of us feel. Questions like why? (I still don't know but it seems less important now)

Overweight? I wouldn't call anyone able to wear a size 12, overweight.

Honestly, and I say this out of compassion, not as criticism, I think the size 12 dress does NOT fit you very well. It looks too tight. I wear a size 24, so obviously I am a lot heavier than you are.
Just because you can put it on does not mean it fits. You need some wriggle room, not to mention some additional room for some prosthetic breasts. Dresses look a lot better if they hang a little looser (stretch material aside). I've destroyed garments that I could get on, only to find myself trapped inside, and had to cut myself out.
Measure your bust with a measuring tape - go from one armpit around to the other, and back to the first. It will be something like 38 or 42 inches. Add a couple inches for breasts. Now measure the distance from one armpit of your dress to the other and multiply by two. If the dress "bust" measurement is less than your adjusted bust measurement, it is simply too small.
Larger sizes are harder to find - and worth it!
Hugs,
Bernice

I think Donna is saying she is considerably heavier than you.
The tightness was my likeness about the dress.
From your picture (with bike), it looks like you have some decent curves happening there so that's a good start. I agree that a dress should not look too 'stretched' to the point that one false move and your modesty is no longer intact. Depending on the material (such as one with spandex), a tight dress should hug the curves nicely and in all the right places. I would follow Bernice's advice and get yourself measured properly for a bra and see whether that dress still fits over it. Also, the low cut styling would necessitate shaving that chest hair if you ever want to wear it out in public one day.
Once you get a nice wig (if you haven't one already) and some makeup, you'll be surprised what a difference it will make to your look.

I too once enjoyed tight clothing, but in retrospect it really didn't look very good.
So may I respectfully suggest a nice tight corset and/or girdle, support hose, and a looser dress?

Sad but true.

Donna -
That may be true, but you dress sooo classy and have such a wonderful personality and intellect that it's very easy to ignore the weight!!
