When one is a transgendered male it can sometimes be difficult to cross dress and look feminine. This takes a lot of time and practice. There are several things you can do to make yourself appear feminine. Follow these steps to learn how to cross dress effectively.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Wear several pairs of stockings to cover leg hair. Try two pairs of white stockings covered with a pair of pantyhose. This will create a nude appearance without the leg hair showing through. You could also use leg makeup and a single pair of pantyhose if desired.
Step2
Use silicone hip pads to create an hourglass figure. Apply a triangular shaped pad over the male private area then put on a girdle. This will create a streamlined appearance when you dress.
Step3
Stuff a bra with water balloons filled with approximately 4 to 6 ounces of water, depending upon the breast size you desire to have. This looks a lot more realistic then stuffing with clothing or tissue. You can also buy breast forms from stores that cater to the cross dressing community such as The BreastForm Store.
Step4
Put on a corset to create curves and achieve a feminine shape when you dress. This also helps to flatten the stomach and pull in the lower part of the ribs.
Step5
Dress in dark colors to appear smaller. Wear long sleeves unless you're planning on shaving or waxing your arms.
Step6
Slip on a pair of feminine high heels. These add the exact touch of femininity necessary to cross dress and look the part. Practice walking in them before going out.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep the dress to a moderate length so it doesn't show your garter belt if you're wearing one.
