How old were YOU when you first went out dressed?

I was 13 when I first went out dressed en femme. It was Halloween and I had borrowed a dress, slip, and heels from some neighbor women. I wore a cheap crepe wig I had bought, but wished I had a proper one.

Have gone out dressed a few times since. Twice to work on Halloween. The rest have just been a short walk or drive late at night with generally no one around. Did bump into some hotel guests and a maintenance man at a hotel one week and got an appreciative comment from another guest.

Would like to go out dressed and to a movie or the mall, but haven't gotten up the courage to do so. Perhaps in the near future.

Hugs!

I am so surprised at this, I thought more girls would have been like me, only going out after years of hiding it or keeping it inside. For me, I was 51 when I went out en femme. I had bought items throughout my life, mostly a bra, panties and nylons/thigh high or garter and hose. I would sometimes shave and prance around the house when no one was home. I did this for a while, then threw everything away. Over and over I did this, but never completely dressed.

Several years ago I joined this thread. I had started up again, only this time I bought a wig and some forms. Later I started getting more and more clothing from catalogs. I wrote the girls here many times, asking for advice on how to tell my wife. Baby steps, I heard that over. I had worn panties for years and sometimes I would wear a nightie. Other than that I never told my wife anything, but I wanted. One day I finally confessed to my wife of my desires and told her i had some other clothing.

I read stories here, about the girls and their going out for the first time. I finally did. Age 51, I dressed completly and venture out. In the car, but I was out. One time, after seeing my kids up north (Michigan), I parked in a parking lot and dressed in the car. I put on makeup/wig/everything. I needed gas and thought I would take off and be forced to stop somewhere on the way home. As it turned out, I needed soon after i left, the light came on. I chickened out at the first place and thought I would run out of gas. I only had $5.00 on me, but thought I could simply debit my fuel. Right, I ended up at a older gas station, had to go into the store and pay for the fuel. One guy said something to me about my car. So here I am, beard shadow, poor makeup, a big/bushy/long wig, long 'older lady' dress and my first time out when I was in front of the public. I will always remember that day!

Sorry this was so long, but it was funny now that I look back.

Around the age of 9/10, a neighbor kid I played with ocassionally, came by. His parents and mine were out to some kind of party. I remember we were in the basement doing what ever. As it got early evening, we somehow got the notion to put on our moms skirts and blouse's and wear a head scarf ( Babuska as we called them ) and go out side behind the houses up the block ( as not to draw too much attention ) and then out on the other street and walk about 8/10 blocks. I think we were both kind of scared, but by the time we were about to turn around it was pretty much dusk and we didn't need to be too careful from then on. I didn't know at that time what I was. We used the word "Queer" & "Homo" back then. We didn't hold hands or anything. I didn't feel I was into that. That's why I was so confused. We both got back to my house and undressed and that was that. We never did it again nor did we ever discuss what we did again. At 17 Y/O my family moved to the west coast. I often wonder if he were just like me, a plain crossdresser. Lost touch with him, never to know.

I never actually went out in public fully dressed. I usually keep it for more private settings.

I did start going around the appartment block dressed last year, since pretty everyone knew.

I have been a CD for around 50 years and in the past only have gone out very late at night dressed. Then in 2005, I went out for the first time in the daylight. I found that I could pass enough that no one seem to bother me and then in 2007 I told my wife. In May of 2008 she decided to accept me and has become supportive too. She has even gone out with me fully dressed.
Over the years I have seen other men go out dressed on Halloween and wished I could do the same. Not sure what was stopping me as on that day you can get away with just about anything.
