What were the first outfits/pieces of clothing you got to feel more aligned with your gender? (piefed.social)

Hi!

As the title says, please, as I'm looking for some inspiration :)

I've been looking to get some clothes for a while, but it's a bit tricky. Tyrannical country, so I can't try them on, and in most places I won't be able to return them if they don't fit/I don't like them. So I wanna be a bit careful about what I buy.

I took some of my measurements of hips, waist and bust and hope that's enough. But what to buy if I can't buy it all? 🤑

Underwear shouldn't be an issue, but the rest? Blazer? Blouse? Or a summer dress? I don't even know much about women's clothes even though I bought full outfits of my choice twice before (before realising my gender identity).

On the one hand, I feel it is my civic duty to get thigh-highs and that similar fabric to cover the the hands/arms, with a mini skirt and short top, taking a picture of my libreboot thinkpad with neofetch running. 😅

I also think what that some of what I'll enjoy myself in now will change when/if I transition more, and vice versa. So I don't know. Everything is on the table, but mostly I want something badass. :)

Thanks for reading and any help :)

Shoes are also a struggle, but my feet really changed with HRT and now I fit women’s sizes much better.

That's really interesting. I had to go to a special store that made women's shoes in sizes most stores don't.

yes, I go to Torrid to find shoes, they specialize in making shoes for pregnant and "plus-sized" women. My feet tend to be very wide, so their shoes tend to fit me better because they're made to be relatively wide and flexible.

but I even managed to go ice skating and wore women's ice skates rentals without issue, which I didn't think would ever work
