Cross Dressing Techniques - A Male to Female Cross Dressing Guide

For someone to cross dress they must be able to learn a few cross dressing techniques. These techniques aren't ones that will win you any type of major award but they are ones that will help you look more like the opposite sex. Especially you men that wish to dress like a woman. That is no easy task to accomplish as men and women are just made differently no matter how hard we try to fight it. But if you can learn a few simple tricks to make it easier to do then you will have a lot more fun with the process.

Something that is very obvious when you learn any cross dressing technique is that what will look good on a lady might not look so good on a man. Surprising isn't it? Main reason would of course be breasts. Without those darn things any blouse or top just won't look right. Fortunately there are several companies making bras that will make the flattest chested person appear to be busty as can be. Not only do they look like they hold a real breast but they feel that way as well. But if you know that cross-dressing is a style that you want forever and always, then there is always the possibility of breast augmentation. Keep in mind that would be a permanent choice and if you aren't sure that this is something you want to do for the rest of your life just try the bra for a while.

When shopping for clothing something you should consider is to shop in a store that caters to those who like cross dressing. There are several chains of stores that you can go to that will help you find just the right outfit. They can also help you with some of the cross dressing techniques that you can use help on. If you don't feel comfortable going to a store in person just yet you might prefer to go shopping online. That way you can buy what you want without anyone else giving you their opinion.

If you aren't sure that cross dressing is for you then you might simply purchase a pair of women's jeans to wear around. They are going to of course fit a little differently than men's and might be a bit tight for you to wear. But by finding out if you even like wearing women's jeans it will help you discover if you will be a jeans or dress kind of person.

High heel shoes are wonderful and can really slim up the legs but they take some getting used to, even for women. And with men and women being so different in size and shape it's no wonder that they will have to do some learning to be able to wear them without breaking an ankle. To do that you should buy a pair and wear them around your house for a few weeks. Doing that will allow you to fall, look silly and possibly even break an ankle in the comforts of your own home and without anyone watching. Looking silly is something I prefer to do in private so I always try new things out at home first. Makes life easier.

Getting all of your cards lined out so that they work well together is the way that cross dressing should go. Try to master these cross dressing techniques before you dig right in so that the whole experience is one that will be all you dream of.

How to Custom Tailor Your Suits

In the past a custom suit was the privilege of the wealthy and travelers to India and the orient. With the advent of the Internet and online shopping the custom suit has become a more viable choice for everyman.

Price

Custom suit prices can still vary depending on quality of fabric, time to deliver and brand. So think about what your budget is, timing and use. If this custom suit is for a wedding, order with lots of time to make sure that you have everything that you need. If it is for everyday business think about what your business is and what you would like your custom suit to say about you.

The Details

Remember to give the company that you are ordering from (in person or on the Internet) as much information as possible. Let the store know what this custom suit will be used for, when you need to be able to wear it. Give them some idea about what fabrics that you like, if you don't know, go find out. Feel some fabric, try on a few off-the-rack suits and get a sense of what you like. Think about colour before you get there or ask the sales staff or help desk for their professional advice. They can see you better than you can see yourself and they know what is happening in the fashion world. Contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as an all year round fabric. Light-weight wools that are suitable for summer wear are definitely not warm enough for winter and winter weight woolens are too warm for the heat of the summer.

Be Prepared

If you go into the store to make this purchase bring everything with you that you intend to wear with this suit, including wallet, pocket-handkerchief and anything that goes into your pockets. Let them design something that is functional and really works in your life.

Personal Service

Choose the sales person as opposed to letting them choose you. Look around, see who is working in the store and head towards someone who you can relate to or who dresses the way that you would to dress. He is more likely to understand you and your custom suit needs and this will save time and effort. When ordering a custom suit online, don't just fill out forms and submit them without speaking to a live person!

Fashion & Style

The fit and fabric of a good suit can change with the winds of fashions. When considering the investment of a custom suit, think about finding a suit that fits your needs but also makes a style statement that is conservatively fashionable. The shoulders should be wide enough for comfort but not excessively so. The drape of the jacket fabric should caress the torso but not cling to it. The trousers should have room to move flexed muscles as you sprint for the elevator or limo door. The hand, or feel, of the fabric should be light, smooth and cool.

The custom suit is a luxury. You deserve the best and the best is made to fit both your body and your budget.
