What Makes You Feel Feminine? Is It The Clothes You Wear, The Makeup You Apply, Or The Scent Of Your Perfume?
“It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.”
Vivienne Westwood – designer extraordinaire
Many of you, who are crossdressers, just like me, always know that your female side exists even when you are not ‘dressed.’ Despite the fact that you may not be fully made up, and wearing your favorite outfit, and adorned with a womanly scent sprayed from an exquisite glass bottle, you still have a feminine side!
Clothes might make the man, but they certainly make the woman, and in our case, the TG woman. Spend some time picking out what you like to wear – make the styles work for you!
What Clothing Makes You Feel Most Feminine?
For many of you, it a short skirt or tight blouse. Maybe it’s the fabric itself – silk or satin. To me, my new favorite daytime look is bohemian – swaying skirts with off the shoulder tops. But I have to say my truly favorite outfits I love are bedtime lingerie!
Applying Your Makeup
When I do my makeup, I spend as much as time as possible, savoring the application that changes my male persona to female. I love doing my makeup, and even at those times when I’ve been rushed for an appearance, whether it be giving a speech, signing books, or even appearing on television, I always chuckle to myself that I might have to hurry but things could be way worse! I might not be expressing my feminine side at all!!!
Ahh, The Sweet Scent Of Perfume!
What’s the use of getting made up, and dressed to the nines, if your deodorant is Old Spice and you’re hoping your cologne smells like a fine perfume? Invest a few dollars and gain the scent of a woman. Believe me, it can be the finishing touch!
Those are my top three, but I have to admit there’s many more, including driving on the open road, having a nice cocktail at a fine dining establishment, and sometimes just talking to friends. But…

Greetings Gina:
I have been dresssing for a long time and enjoy every minute I am en femme. The thing that I enjoy the most is getting dressed to the nines! Starting with those special underpinnings, followed by a silky slip and an elegant cocktail gown. Finishing off with the right make up, perfect nails and those little sassy high heel sandals. Look out town here I come! (Makes me tingle inside just thinking about it.)
Best to you always,
Sienna Day

What a lovely installment of your writings... I am becoming a fan, Gina!
What is it that makes me feel like a Woman?
# 1 - The Thought of being really and truly loved as One.
# 2 - Of course also a Combination of my favoured parfum, to dressing en femme (The French, UK & Brazil Fashions Sexy Look/Presence ) and Feeling beautiful and free... Lastly also the virtues of mild, organic make-up...
# 3 - To feel that special particle of Eternal Divinity that we all have within our selves as the beautiful Goddess inside and outside of Me, myself and to find Her, to see Her in other people.
Love and Light,
Sky a.k.a. JD Aeon

I feel truly feminine when I go out dressed for a walk in my neighborhood and the men and women I meet greet me and smile.

yes, ofcourse, the clothes, makeup etc certainly do make me feel so very feminine, however, the thing that most makes me feel like a woman is what is in my very spirit, my soul, my heart. Inside I am totally female, although for obvious reasons I must remain male outside. I have been this way all my life,
Love and hugs, ericalynne

Beautiful hair and make up make me feel feminine. Wearing a gorgeous dress with sexy heels makes me feel beautiful.

At this stage in my life...plain and simple what makes me feel "feminine" is when my exterior image is at least reasonably street-passable... The MAIN ingredient to that is the FIT of clothes and accessories...whether they be women's clothes or "unisex"...or combinations.
Confidense (in social or public settings) is the "aphrodisiac" that precise control of my exterior image brings me. When this dynamic is going right--every part of me is affected.
