First time fully dressed and out.

[CJ]

Hi all,

When was the first time you dressed fully and went outside?

I was about 13. It was late at night and I'd worn my dad's girlfriend's panties, hose, dress, and boots with a light windbreaker that had a cowl I could cover my face with, if need be. I slipped out around 11:30 pm and slinked back in around 3:00 am, after having roamed the neighbourhood. No makeup, no jewelry--nothing but a wildly beating heart and a profound sense of my own destiny.

How old were you?

Love,
CJ

Hi CJ,

I went out dressed for the first time in my early 20s. Very cool poll, btw.

Hi CJ,

I went out (fully) dressed (during the day) for the first time in my late 30s.
I was out partially dressed in my teens, at night.

Never have been "fully" dressed. Probably never will.

I was 19 the first time I went out fully dressed. It was wonderful, but I think you'll also find some humor in my story too.
I had very recently moved to CA, and was living with my parents until I settled in and found my own place. I had just gotten a job driving a tow truck. One of the companies main clients was the US Border Patrol, and I would get many calls to pick up a vehicle that was smuggling illegal aliens in the middle of the night.
I was staying in my sisters bedroom, since she had moved out, but lucky for me she had left quite a bit of her clothes behind as she was still living not far away.
One night I got a call to pick up a car, it was prob around 3 am. I put on a pair of her panties, bra, and pantyhose... grabbed a silky dress and a pair of high heel sandals and put those in a bag to bring along.
After I got to the car and hooked it up, I proceeded down the freeway back to town. I pulled off to the shoulder of the freeway, since there wasn't much traffic at that hour, and took off my jeans, shoes and shirt. I put on her heels and dress and was feeling great being out and completely dressed.
Just as I was finishing changing, I looked in the mirror and saw a CHP car pulling off on the shoulder behind me! Not exactly what I wanted to do... explain why I was dressed the way I was and sitting on the shoulder of the freeway in a tow truck with a car hooked up! Since he didn't have his lights on, I quickly started up and pulled back on the freeway, thank god he didn't pursue.
I got back to the storage lot, got out in my dress and heels and dropped the car off.
It really felt wonderful to be out completely dressed in the early morning air, but looking back now, that would have been an interesting sight to anyone that would have seen me.
Driving a tow truck, dressed in a very silkly mid thigh dress and high heel sandals!
Sorry to have such a lengthy story here... but, I do hope you enjoy!

I was about ten. My older sister dressed me and persuaded me to go to the local grocery store. Didn't end particularly well.

Hi girls,

My first time outside fully dressed was in 1989. I was living in Tennessee but had come to California to stay with a good friend of mine. My intention was to get into the Union and move back to Cali. I had taken an assortment of clothes with me including this just above the knee white dress with black splotches on it, kind of like a Gateway computer box, but mostly whilte. It was a knit fabric and was clingy. I was only about 180 lbs then.

Anyway, my friend and his wife has rented a motor home and were taking a 3 day vacation so I had their house to myself. I went and bought me some makeup and got dressed up. He did not allow me to smoke in his house so I went into the back yard to smoke. I was scared, no terrified, but at the same time exhilerated and liberated. I was electric. It made me want to abandon my life in Tennessee and just come out of the closet. In retrospect, I really wish I had.

However, my then wife, called and basically ordered me to come back to Tennessee or face divorce and losing my children. I went back. It was not long after this that she found all my things and I was forced to purge and promise never to dress again. I did not dress again until last year when I told this forum about the experience. So? for 14 years I did not dress up or put makeup on.

In 1989 I was 28 years old.

Love always,
Elizabeth

My first time fully dressed was to go to Halloween party in town as a square dancer. Nothing like driving in a small car poufed full of petticoat for the first time and dancing all night in a style I had always dreamed of. I'll never forget it.

Hi all,

Danette,

I sincerely hope you weren't carrying that couch around with you when you did go out for the first time, eh!

Love,

Hi CJ-

Another great poll!! Of course I made a mistake, so you may want to delete one vote for 30s and put one vote in early 20s.

I thought the first time I went out was relatively recently (5 years ago in my early 30s), but... I forgot the two transvestite parties in college. Since I'm approaching my 15 year reunion it has been awhile (okay, I know some are older here.... ) The parties were off campus at a big house - lots of fun! It was more like everyone came as the opposite sex - lots of guy in dresses, baby dolls, etc. and girls in football uniforms, baseball outfits, etc. Lots of fun - but I never (unfortunately) told my girl friends whose clothes I borrowed that I was into wearing them all the time. I borrowed bras, tops and skirts from a few of my close dorm mates. They never knew I liked to wear them. I even inherited a nice, short, black cotton mini skirt (Anne Taylor) and a pair of cool black lace hose from my best friend. She never knew either. Well, maybe she did since she insisted I kept the skirt and that it looked better on me than her. If I did it all over again, I would have confided in her. Too bad I lost that skirt in a move over 10 years ago

Hugs-

Hi CJ--
Technically, I was 49 and 11 / 12s, but I put down 50s. I never even thought of going out of the house at 16. I didn't dress fully, for one thing, so I never thought about passing. Actually, I could have passed fairly well, back then, but it would have been scary.

Went to a halloween party at 23, supposedly dressed as a girl, but it was a last-minute costume idea of a friend of mine at that time. Terrible! Remember what we say about CDs being "too good at it" when Halloween comes around? Well, let's just say that no one would have suspected me of being a CD--I didn't wear a dress, had minimal makeup if any, and no wig. Had forms, but I don't remember a bra--my friend was a tiny woman, and her clothing would not have fit. It was pretty lame. So that night doesn't count at all!

I actully went out fully dressed at a younger age since my mom dressed me in my older sisters clothes, but I even enjoyed being one of the girls as I grew up and still to this day go out very often day or night.

My first time out fully dressed was when I was 16 years old. My parents had left me at home alone for a few weeks while they were away on vacation. My older sister had recently married and had left a lot of her things behind in her room. This was good for me because my sister and I wore the same sizes and my sisters clothes and all were the only girls clothes I had to wear.

I had bought make up a wig and could hardly wait for it to get dark out and for the traffic to slow down. As I stood at the back door of the house about to take my first steps out into the world as a girl I could feel my whole body fill with all kinds of feelings and emotions and my mind was racing a million miles a second with what if questions. Then I just did it! I opened the door and I stepped out into the cold night air totally exposing my self as a girl and the way I felt the most alive being. Things have never been the same since.

So I guess you would put me down for late teens.
