hi everyone, i finally got back into my account here. i've been out as a trans woman for several years, but only just started estrogen several months ago and have been wanting to actually start expressing femininely instead of just wearing men's clothes which is giving me a whole lot of dysphoria now. i'm wondering where other transfems get their clothes? i have no idea where to look.

edit: thanks so much everybody for your suggestions, i really appreciate it!

    Check out places that sell secondhand and vintage stuff. There are a bunch of places like that near me that my mom and sister loved shopping at.

      thanks, i'll try looking at more places for that. i took a peek at a local goodwill but only found a bunch of really awful looking and low quality fast fashion stuff. but it's not the only second-hand store out there.

        Yeah goodwill sucks ass. I mean like if you have local places, I would list a few for comparison but that would literally doxx me lol.

        I guess I am privileged in that sense because we have like 5 really awesome secondhand stores in a couple blocks from each other here. One of which specializes in like 70s disco fashion and it rules.

          that does sound really awesome. i do know some local places with vintage clothes, they just hike the prices up a little because its trendy or whatever.

            yeah that's always gonna be a hurdle. Nice lookin clothes are always gonna cost a bit.
