Step1
Begin by getting the proper measurements. It helps, if possible, to have a member of the opposite sex take the measurements for the first time.
Step2
Trying on clothes is impossible when shopping online. To be certain the size is right, one cheap and efficient method to guarantee proper fit is to buy the same sizes from a thrift store and take them home to try on.
Step3
Purchase shoes from any online shoe store. Unlike other cross-dressing items, shoes are easily sized to fit properly. Cross-dressers can go to the local shoe store and accurately measure their shoe size. Several online shoes stores cater to plus-sized men and women, and these are the best places to find the proper fit.
Step4
Buy more than dresses from cross-dresser websites. Makeup, queen-size hose, lingerie, breast augmentation devices and hormones are also available.
Step5
Order custom-fit clothes and wigs through specialized websites. It's more difficult to get a proper fit, but if you take your measurements properly, you can buy a comfortable, custom-tailored outfit and accessories.
