Weirdest shopping experience (for me anyway)

I know what you mean. I had a woman in her mid-30's lecture me at the cash register while she put my panties in a store bag about how much I would enjoy the feel of the nylon knit fabric! And how I was going to enjoy these so much more than ordinary panties! (swoon) I was so excited I wanted to wet myself!

Sounds better than one a few years ago it was really awkward when a clerk asked me if I was buying the clothes for my sister,mother,girlfriend.... everything imaginable and I was like no its not a present for anyone. I think she was really confused and we were both embarrassed I guess and I should have been I guess more direct but she could not take a hint.

I bet there are a lot of funny stories that could be told by just people on this site alone. Definitely want to look your best as a guy who wears the other genders clothes because when you shop you are going to be everyone else's main attraction. I guess its flattering but can be nerve racking early on lol Try fighting over discounted items at the rack with soccer moms >

Yeah I can understand how embarrasing your situation would be. Some people are just too dense for thier own good, and your constantly worried they're finaly going to catch on.

As for fighting over the discount rack, I don't think I'll ever be that lucky. Being 6 foot 1, and wieghing 90K, I'm lucky to be able to fit into some size 16'sAUS (U.S. 14) but realy need a size 18 for a good fit, and thosesizes never realy get a chance to find thier way to a discounted level, not to mention I really cant afford to spend heaps on clothes. When I went shopping yesterday I bought 1 dress, 1 singlet top, 1 sleep shirt, 1 nightgown and one swimsuit and only paid a total of $15, and thats the most I've ever spent in a store on femenin clothes.

Also being as large as I am there is not a beutician in the world able to make my very masculin features look anything but, so I know any stares I get from people are allong the lines of either fear, disgust, or worst of all, pity. I'm not trying to put myself down or anything but it's simply the truth.

I agree that there are probably lots of stories like ours. I'd like to hear (well read) them, if only to help bolster my own confidence.

It's still leaving a smile on my face though. Me, pretty.......

I've got some! :-)

The very first dress I ever got was a purple one off the rack in the girls section of Walmart. The Mommy I was visiting at the time held several up to me right in the store. When I took it through the checkout, the elderly woman spent a good five minutes assuring me how pretty it was - she never actually SAID it, but I felt sure she knew it was for me. A few weeks later, at the same Walmart, a guy just folded the dress over a few times and tossed it in a bag, and not thinking about how it sounded I went, "No! Not like THAT, you'll WRINKLE it!" : You shoulda seen the look I got.

In a Sears where I bought a Christmas dress, they apparently had some sort of frequent buyer program, and the lady at the register asked me if my "mother" was part of it. I said I didn't live with my mother (hadn't for a good 10 yeas at that time), and she said if my mother was in it then the phone number would show. lol I was 99.99% sure my mother was not a frequent buyer of childrens clothes. I still wonder why she asked that though considering my age ... did she know then that the dress was for me?

The meanest thing I saw was when my friend and I went to a thrift store - we were both dressed in LG clothes. We checked the time on the door when we went in, but we were only there a couple minutes before they started saying the store was closing in five minutes. When we left we checked the door again, and sure enough someone had crossed out the original closing time and moved it up an hour ... in PENCIL.

The best time I had was at a wig store in St. Louis. They also had girls Sunday Dresses in the back of the store, and they were sized well to fit me (even at size 14, and I was normally a 16). I grabbed my favorite, and carried it along with the long wig I wanted, asking the one lady who worked there if she could put the hair in the wig into two braids.The poor woman got very confused and kept asking questions about what was wanted to the Mommy who was with me, which was starting to exasperrate me since *I* was the one buying the wig. Then suddenly, she looked at the wig, looked at me, looked at the dress I was carrying ... back over the whole thing again, and it was like a light came on. : She says, "OH! Like a little girl!" and I said, "Yes!" So she had me sit down, put the wig on me, and put it into the two braids I wanted ... all the while telling me what a pretty little girl I was going to be. Robyn - I actually DID wet myself, but it was okay since I had a diaper on. : The Mommy that was with me just kept smiling, knowing I was in the stratosphere with the whole experience.

Wow,thats realy kind of harsh, running someone out of the store. All I can hope is that they actually had a reason other than you and your friend to close it, a legitimate reason. If not, tey would have to be the least proffetional people I have heard of.

Oh wow! Getting your hair braided, in the store, and the lady being so nice, and having you Mommy there sounds wonderful. A dream for many of us, I'm sure, that you've shown to be possible.

I kinda wish the cashier said something like that to me yesterday. I was in an all woman store and only one person was in there, the cashier. She asked if she could help and I had print out what I was looking for so showed her. Then I start looking around then she ask if I need help with anything else I told her just looking and ending up buying the shoes after looking for a few minutes. I kind of wish she asked if I would like to try them on or I had the nerve to ask her to try them all.

I bought a flannel nightgown in a dollar store one fall. As I checked out the cashier, a lady a bit older than me, told me that I would look lovely in it.

It's so wonderful when the sales clerks get into the spirit of the thing!! And you are right about the older women too. I needed some nylon stockings for a special garter belt I had purchased )pink, loaded with frills and bows, real girlie-girl) and ended up at a nice department store stocking counter. It was manned by a pretty, middle-aged black woman who was quite polite. She figured it out immediately the nylons were for me. And it delighted her! Still polite, her whole attitude seemed to change, now calling me 'dear' and 'honey.' I stopped being nervous and relaxed...well kinda relaced (blush).

It's funny, now I was embarrassed about the style of nylon stocking I was going to buy. I think they were called "slutty trash" (giggle) you know the kind, seamed, reinforced heel and toe and deep, rich black band a the top. The "knowck me down and F... me kind."
She laughed with me "Oh, honey, I know the kind you want!" Wow, I was in heaven! If she had said, "Naughty girl" I would have creamed my panty right then and there. I have to tell you, I enjoyed having this rather large pretty lady know about Robyn-Anne's "needs" and speak so girlie to her in public! She could be my Mommy any day of the year!
Huggs,
Robyn-Anne

TeeHee I know this is a shopping for outfit deal but funny thing with buying things. I got abit lazy one week with cleaning after I wet and got a nasty diper rash. As a self punishment I walked into a Rite Aid (drugstore in my area) and went to the Med area and ask a realy nice older women (around 60ish as well id say) I have a diper rash problem and was wondering what was the best cream to clear it. She said awww how old is your child and with a small grin on my face I said 29. She look at me abit wireded out and giggled abit showed me a cream and as I was paying for it told me I must be a realy cute person probly was going to say baby but I knew what she was getting after. She warmed my heart and thats when I pull out Sissy Michele out my AB girl side. With a alittle giggle and a thank you. I touched her heart I know for a fact made me feel realy good inside. Now I go and get all my baby care needs there and we chat all the time now.
