I was inspired by the feminizing my wardrobe topic and the fit issues topic. I've been soooo irritated for as long as I can remember by not being able to find jeans that fit right. If they rit my legs/thighs, they were so loose around my waist that they fell down. If they fit my waist, they were too tight elsewhere to allow much if any movement. I had never thought about women's jeans until I read the two posts I mentioned. Anyway I just thought I'd show off my new pair of jeans and see what you guys think. I may have to sleep in them tonight.....
-
Look good. Can't tell they are not men's jeans. There are a lot of men who wear women's jeans because they fit better and they do not have gynecomastia. Lot's of articles about it.
-
After my wife had been home a while I mentioned that I had gone to the wholesale clothing store and bought jeans that actually fit my body and weren't baggy like all the other jeans I have. She said she really liked the way they fit me. She had no idea they were "womens jeans" until I told her and she seemed perfectly fine with the fact that I was wearing "womens jeans". Just like how "bras are for breasts, not women", jean cuts and styles are for body types, not for men or women.
-
Can’t tell they are women’s. And glad they work for you
-
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks women's jeans are more comfortable!
-
I discovered that two years ago. I told my wife that you women have this whole comfort thing figured out. Men are so dumb to put up with uncomfortable clothing. And what’s up with putting a noose (tie) around your neck..hahaha
-
Yep! I stumbled into this a few years back when I discovered by accident a womens size 16s jeans fit better than mens 36x30. This was before they started to blend in 2% spandex (elastane) into the cloth of mens jeans - which is more common now.
The only thing I don’t like in womens jeans are the shallow pockets!

also the shorter inseam

It's the small waist, large seat and broad in the hips that make ladies jeans, slacks and even jeggings have a better fit than men's. The woven in spandex means that I can wear them mose snug and still be able to move.

For a very long time I had thought about buying a pair of women's jeans.
a long time ago I had put on a pair of the other half's jeans by accident and nearly left for work with them on when she recognized them.
So this past week I relented and purchased a pair of Lee Riders in 16 long. They fit perfictly!
Well I did the whole posing in the mirror thing and then suddenly noticed something.
In the first pic (light blue) are my wranglers.
In the second pic the Lee's (dk. blue).
Anyone see anything?
Or am I just wanting to see something.
-
The women’s lee jeans look much better. Tighter fit in waist and legs. Seam length is good. I wore wranglers all my life. Switched to women’s lee jeans. I wear a10L...much more comfy and cleaner look.
-
The Lee jeans look way better. I have some mens American eagle fitted boot cut that were the best fitting pair of jeans I could get. But they are still way too baggy. I still need to do a lot more experimenting to find what brand of women's jeans I prefer, but the ones I've bought so far fit a million times better than my best fitting pair of "mens jeans"
-
You're right about mens jeans. I'm over the baggy look. For years my wife made Comments about me swimming in my pants but I couldn't find any pants that fit my thighs that weren't too big in the waist and overly baggy. Then I discovered womens jeans and I've never looked back.
-
Anybody have any experience with Duluth trading post womens jeans? I'm thinking of getting a pair because it sounds like they are hard wearing, but would like some feedback before making the purchase. I'm pretty rough on jeans so I'd like a hard wearing pair
-
Carhart makes women's work pants also - pretty durable.
-
Nice hips

Thanks, I'll have to look into those. I could probably go to tractor supply in town and atleast try them on to check the fit then order online where its cheaper
-

Yes - I recently tried on a pair and noticed immediately that the pockets were deeper - almost like mens. The styling is plain as well - not recognizable as a woman’s style. Ultimately I purchased a pair of their “fire hose” cloth pants which suited my needs better, but made mental note of their woman’s in 16S.
if you’re looking for a harder wearing material find jeans with a heavyweight cotton and polyester blend.
-
Nice hips
Thats what I was wondering.
-
a couple of years ago my wife asked about a pair of jeans, if they were mine. i looked them over and said no. a little later i looked at them again. they are levi’s womens stretch jeans. i tried them on, and decided to give them a test run. the are the waste and inseam as my usual guy pants. they are easily the most comfortable jeans i’ve ever worn. i wish the pockets could hold more crap like my wallet and phone. i’m not sure how my wife had them to begin with or if she tried to tell me something like my big butt needed more room. i’ve tried to find them and see if there are other colors, etc. but i can’t find these particular jeans anywhere.
-
Have you and your wife ever discussed your shape being more like a woman?
-
Do you think your wife actually bought those women’s jeans for you figuring they would suit your shape better?
-
I was wearing ladies slacks, jeans, shorts and even jeggings for years before transitioning. They were a much better fit and more comfortable than men's.
For any of you that are considering trying slacks or jeans with a larger seat and smaller waist, you should try them. Torrid and Lane Bryant routinely have men shopping in their stores. You are more than welcome and even encouraged to try on any in their changing rooms.
Torrid has many different styles, cuts, and colors for most tastes and body types. They have one in particular that I wear that's called the "Bombshell Skinny" jeans. I like these as they are designed with a greater seat and smaller waist. In other words, they fit. That's the wonderful thing about their jeans and slacks...they fit.
-
i wish the pockets could hold more crap like my wallet and phone.
In my experience womens Levi’s have the smallest shallow front pockets, barely room for some change. Lee has deeper pockets - room for small wallet or phone. I too would like front pockets a bit deeper! Recommendations welcome.

Torrid jeans vary in pocket size depending on the cut you are wearing. This is because most women, myself included don't want to have big pockets that ruin the smooth shape that the jeans give you. They figure most who wear ladies jeans carry a purse to keep our belongings in.
I do have one pair of Torrid jeans that are actually called "The Girlfriend" cut. These have larger front pockets. It almost seemed like these may have inadvertently been ladies cut jeans designed for men. I was never able to find another pair 😪.
-
I went shopping for jeans Saturday. Started off in the men’s section. Nothing really fit. Looked bad on me through the hips and thighs. I would try on same style and size and they fit different from one to the other. Cant they make things uniformed anymore. So off I went to the women’s section. Found a pair of lee cotton in size 12L that fit and felt great. And a pair of lee flex motion straight leg in 10L that fit and looks great. Pockets are smaller yes. But I don’t use pockets all that much anymore.... never have change...credit card all the time now. And have a small thin wallet for that and my drivers license. I do have a large bag that I have in my vehicle with everything else in it. And sometimes I shop with it. No need for pockets.
-
I'm glad that you were able to find some jeans that fit. As far as uniform sizing goes, ladies jeans are all over the place from each maker. I can say that Torrid is very consistent in their sizing. I wear a 10R in their slacks,jeans, jeggings, shorts and fitted skirts.
I have worn a purse for many years. I found it more convenient with everything I like to have on me. Granted, my purses weren't always as fashionable as what I currently carry.

I like to wear women’s leggings like instead of men’s long underwear as a base layer. I like high waisted bottoms which are usually made for women. I feel like normal pants that sit on my hips constrict my hip and leg movements. I would like to try on women’s high waisted jeans. I have long legs compared to men or women though. My WHR is .82 which is closer to the female average, and the length from my pubic bone to the floor is 35 inches while my height is 70 inches. That’s a high inseam to height ratio of .5... Always hard to find pants!
While my body type is somewhat feminine I have no interest in transitioning... I like the way I am, I feel androgynous in a youthful way like boyish and girlish.
-
A VERY long time ago (late 1980's I was enamored for some reason with capris leggings.
Once cotton spandex blends became normal, I purchased multiple pairs of then and wear them around the house, and GREAT for winter warmth when doing various outdoor activities.
But I also have had the same attraction to other garments, just never really explored. it.
-
I have a left hip flexor problems. When my pants start to ride below my hip bone I have a hard time walking. All my pants now are high rise. As long as my pants sit above my hip bone I’m fine. Maybe that’s why back in the old days men wore their pants high...old movies tell us that. And just this week I went to jockey classic French cut underwear. Small elastic band that sits above my hips. Tired of wearing a huge elastic band that acts as a underwear billboard that sits at or below the hips. Learning a lot in my old age. ..go for comfort no matter what. Who cares what the label says. Men’s , women’s or whatever. If it fits and is comfortable...wear it!..i am doing everything possible to make my old age comfortable as I can. And that includes wearing a bra when out and about.
-
I'd never considered women's jeans. I bought a pair from old navy while I was there jeans shopping. Got a pair of men's and women's boot cut jeans sized 34x32 and 12 regular. The women's I feel like I didn't have to pull up nearly as often but they are definitely more snug than the men's. Time will tell. Going to give them a solid test drive.
-
I switched a while back to wearing typically "women's" jeans. They just fit my shape better.
-
I'm a thicker girl myself and I found that even before fully transitioning, Torrid was a great place to buy great jeans. The staff is fully supportive at any of their locations of men wanting to try on or purchase any article of clothing in-store. I was very grateful early on to have such a supportive pace to shop.
They have such a great selection of jeans in different styles. They have anywhere from the Skyhigh skinny Bombshell jeans to their classic boyfriend cut. They are all so comfortable and move with you.
-
If I ever make it to a torrid store I'll remember that. I got a pair of mid rise boot cut jeans and they fit well albeit a little snug in the upper leg. I don't think I'd want higher than a mid rise, they do sit exactly where I want them to.
-
I have more of a hour glass shape now. Have been on a diet with lots of exercise. Lost 30 pounds. Feel so much better. My mid section went away but my butt, thighs and breast pretty much stayed the same. I have found that women’s jeans fit my shape perfectly. I wear lee jeans 10L. They fit my bigger butt and thighs with my smaller waist perfectly. The bottom line is, you just have to go with what fits instead of looking like a slob...so if women’s fit better....wear them😃
-
I'm glad you found what works. I personally don't think I need them for my shape but find no problem with anyone who does. Wear what fits.
-
I too am fond of Torrid and Lane Bryant. Haven't had any issues with instore or online purchases. Lots of styles and cuts for those who are not a 00-12.
-
I've made another discovery, the Ian line by Cinch. They are slim fit mens jeans, but have a lot of stretch. They are the typical heavier men's jean material, have deep front pockets, and fit rather nicely. I wouldn't mind a bit higher rise, but its about the best fit for me right now
-
Once I started wearing women’s jeans, I never considered men’s again. I love the fit and stretch and softness of women’s jeans. They look and feel so much better. I have long been a big fan of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans
-
I know! Right!? Women's jeans and slacks are much more comfortable. Ad far as pockets go, a small handbag holds everything I carry with me.
-
And leggings!
-
Well bustymale said it, so Ill jump in. Leggings for sure, and I like capris myself. especially in cold weather!
i also have a slight fetish over leggings.
Plus I have noticed that my hips have grown an inch, and I am now out to 43-44 inches.
-
Leggings are great and so are Jeggings. I like the fact that my jeggings have a bit better stretch than my skinny jeans. This keeps them snug without any sags the whole time wearing them.
-
All the jeans I have are woman's. Like the rest, it's because of the fit
-
Congratulations on your jeans and retiring!
-
Now that you are retiring, you must try leggings, at least for around the house. So comfortable and soft.
-
If any of you are interested, look into jeggings! They look like jeans but feel like leggings. I love ❤️ them. Torrid has some great ones that you can try on in the store!
😉🥰🤗😍💋

I second jeggings
-
So many have talked about Gloria Vanderbilt jeans I had to try them...wow..nice fit and very comfortable.

Funny story to me at least today. I laid my clothes out last night for work today it’s casual day as we are moving with another office in switching spaces so they encouraged as a perk to wear comfortable clothes. I laid my joggers and t shirt out socks and all and woke up realized I forgot my underwear. Went to my room, none isn’t he drawer, went to laundry room, none folded, well my jeans are in the wash as are my dress pants and can’t go commando in these so I went to Walmart on the way to work and got some boxers. As most male depts are this is right across from the women’s. I figured I don’t wear a bra daily even though I should and don’t need a new one but why not. Went to my go to brand found my size grabbed a new color and started to leave. On my way to exit stage right from the dept my eyes caught the panty wall. I never
really thought about wearing panties before. I’ve seen them dozens of times here prior shopping and of course just in general and wore some before as a
teenager but not really since. Very comfortable in my boxers. But seen a pack of 10 for same price as a pack of 3 boxers. Soooo I grabbed them instead just to see lol on the other side of the wall was the jeans and such and figured no one is really here so why not browse. Men’s jeans I buy have the stretch fabric now women’s often had growing up the separated the two and figured if there’s a style that isn’t feminine I’ll see how they fit. Found some Levi’s with male style and no design and stitching on pockets indicating female so tried them on. Was kinda impressed how well they fit and felt. I tried them on with a pair of the panties I grabbed and loved how easy the pants went on. No bunching or tugging of boxers no straightening things out. Just tucked in place pull on and activate comfort lol.
Can’t say these will be my go to jeans by any means but I definitely wore them out of the store tag in hand to pay for and I’m known for wearing same clothes at work cause just don’t invest in that side of my wardrobe and two people already asked if I got new jeans and when saying yeah got them this week they gave their compliments I was like I work with a pretty conservative office and feel if they knew they were women’s the compliments would not been given. Anyways thought I’d share as I’ve been pretty pro active against men wearing panties and women’s pants and clothes and irony serves as it usually does here I am at work in women’s pants panties and a new bra. 4 years ago never thought I’d be wearing this to work lol
-
DWB,
Congratulations on your purchases! I know what you mean. They are definitely comfortable. At least more comfortable than anything in the men's department.
I wore women's clothing to work for years before transitioning. The only real drawback was the pocket thing. I had used a women's style cellphone case that was more like a wallet for years before I gave in and decided that a purse was more practical.
I thought that no one noticed what I was wearing, however my slacks had no pockets, some were side zips, my tops had darts which were great because they accommodated my boobs but any one who gave me a second look knew what I was wearing.
Yes, women's clothing had always been a better fit since puberty. I had started incorporating women's outerwear about 20 years ago and for the last 10 has been exclusively women's clothing. I was never given rude comment at work, only compliments. I knew that the girls at work knew so keep an ear out for the girls using terms like, "top or blouse" and if they are looking you over and saying "that looks cute on you" or if they ask you where you got something you're wearing. These are somethings that I can speak to from experience. I can also say from experience is that it made no difference to anyone but me because I was comfortable.
Sophie 🤗🥰❤️👩🦰

Lol thanks for making me hip to the lingo. I probably wouldn’t have thought twice on that if I heard anything. I didn’t buy any tops I can’t imagine needing a blouse or top from the women’s department but did buy a couple tank tops to see if they fit better than men’s tank tops they looked the same cut and such. They were 3 for 8 so got one of each neutral color.
We just moved to a new office and I’m in a cubicle with a larger partition padded by myself while everyone else is on other side of room pretty much so no real worry of anyone seeing me so doubt anyone will compliment or say anything no one really visits out and about much in the office. But definitely makes wearing a bra much more at ease.
-
I openly wore a bra for decades to work before transitioning. The sky never fell, the earth never opened and swallowed me. The topic was either never brought up or just casual talk not different than typical girl talk in the office. I didn't mind, it kinda goes with the territory.
-
Yeah you had boobs from a younger age I developed at 30 grew a little more at 31 and a little more at 33 and lately things are filling in a lot more on the sides and insides and overall. My breast growth to others is in real time not new to the office hi I’m the guy with t**ts nice to meet y’all lol. So I get more concerned as things grow I’m far from feminine just kinda an adjustment as I feel them getting bigger and notice things getting in the way now and noticing my profile projection but I could care less overall though I’m ok with it all
-
I've had my girls in a bra for well over 30 years. I still find them getting in the way. I'll open my car door and swing the window jamb right into them.
The good of it is with women's slacks or jeans having limited pockets, your bra makes a safe, secure spot for your ID, some cash, even a cell phone when you're wearing the right top.
I'm happy for you that you are accepting of your breasts. I've always enjoyed having mine.
❤️Sophie

Lmao I can only imagine someone’s face if I was like damn where did I put my wallet and then was like oh yeah hunch over to reach in and pull it out of my cleavage lol. At 183lbs now 5’11 definitely would make for a fun story lol maybe or day.
I always heard how much they get in the way but never really bought in to it but the recent growth I have to reach in often when not in a bra and pull them to the middle to get out from under my arm and leaning in to do some tasks feel them hit surfaces and such.
Accepting has just been gradual guess this is what it is.

The struggle is real! When you mentioned that your boobs sometime make their way into your arm pits. That was why I will either wear a leisure bra to bed or my nightie or night gown will have built-in support that keeps the girls from running wild while I'm trying to sleep 😴

That they are until a woman or significant other who never seen a man or their man in a bra finally see it and go hmmm lol I’m just embracing it as much as I can they are growing and it is what it is. I put my bra on today and seen a defining line that wasn’t the cup and was instead my boobs pushing out over the top. I had a tigger shirt on yesterday and braless and passed a mirror and laughed cause his eyes were 3D now.
Felt rebellious today so in our new office while I got pretty much total privacy anyone can still walk around and by our enclosed cubicles. Decided to adjust my bra to give a little more lift did a scoop and swoop and unbuttoned my shirt polo buttons and pulled the collar apart just a little. Been a very long last week and this week I feel the thrill and playfulness of showing a little cleavage is a fun distraction.

As I have said before to many women who I have talked about this with....
I discovered the joys of seat belts!
As of late, I have been buying pants with stretch for several reasons, but fit seems to be applying more. Straight leg jeans have been a norm for me all my life, but now I am finding that some jeans no longer fit well and look like a really bad bag day on me.
I have only purchased one pair (I posted a phot before) of women's Lee's but have been looking at another pair here soon.
I also have a few pairs of leggings, and recently put them on to look in the mirror and saw slightly wider hips and thighs than I thought.
The process is slow and a bit uncomfortable at times, but as long as you accept it, I think the aura of an individual begins to morph normality into it and people simply dont notice.
Its when you sweat over it and try to hide it that things pop out.
-
I have been wearing jeans from the other side of the aisle for a while but hadn't really gotten into leggings much. However, my friendly sa that I first opened up to purchasing for myself at Lane Bryant pointed me in the seamless Livi leggings. I must say, they are quite comfortable, and I can get away with wearing a black pair out of the house with a long-untucked button down and boots. And the world did not stop turning.
-
The confidence of yourself in anything you wear is crucial. As I think a few decades, the changes were fairly daunting as I seagued from plain white mens shirts to my first pink, then later to flowery paterened ones. I was very introspective. Looking back no one I met cared a "stuff"
I was feeling much the same when beginning to wear a bra for very practical reasons, seagued to wearing a skirt {initially as a more comfortable option during a very hot, humid UK summer} and then finding that almost all women's clothing was far more comfortable than that in the men's aisles. Each stage was disconcerting to me but again most people seemed not to notice or, if they did, didn't give a damn.
In any case my starting point is to "not allow others govern how I feel" and certainly not what I choose to wear.
-
It’s so true how women’s clothing can be much more comfortable than men’s. I wore wrangler cowboy cut jeans all my life. I had hernia surgery a little over two years ago. The first thing the nurse said is to get rid of those jeans and buy something with stretch in them. She called my jeans stranglers. She said that there is men’s jeans with stretch in them and most women’s jeans have stretch also. So don’t be afraid to investigate all your options. Restrictions in movement as we age is a bad thing. So shop both sides of the store to find your perfect fit and style with lots of comfort. If your on that side of the store buying a bra or panties. You should try on jeans also to find that perfect fit. And maybe women’s jeans are not o good option for some. But at least you will know after trying some on.
-
Absolutely "Confused old man" .
Women's clothing is one area where for many, ignorance certainly isn't bliss
-
Almost a decade before "Sophie " was born. I was wearing mostly clothing that came from the women's department or a women's clothing store. It all fit better than any men's clothing that I could find. I looked and looked and I couldn't find a single bra in the men's department. After a decade of so of wearing a bra full time, it hit me. I started wearing panties because they fit. Women's button down blouses wear also designed for a chest shaped like mine. Slacks and jeans were also cut to fit my hips and waist. This was long before my transition that I learned that women's clothing wasn't just for women anymore. At least until in my case it was.
Wear what you like and wear what fits.

Hi Sophie, in fact women's clothing has a lot of advantages. Some days ago I was looking for short shorts, but the men's department at C&A didn`t have them, they had only bermuda shorts. In the women's department there were large sizes for young women. Voilà. The best short shorts I got:). It was a little strange to use one of the changing cubicles since there were a lot of young women in their 20s around. But no reaction.
Some years ago a lingerie company tried to launch a sports bra for men. They asked for suggestions from men what they needed. But I never read about the result. It seems that this was a nonstarter.

Wear what you like and wear what fits.
I've always had problems fitting in men's pants. I still have to cinch my belt a good two inches around my natural waist, when I pull up my men's jeans. I'm 5' 6" and wear either a men's size 34/28 or 32/28 inch (if I can find that length), or a women's size 10/12 Petite.

Hey Jonni🤗!
It sounds like ladies jeans and slacks will probably work well based on the fitting challenges you are faced with.
I can say that Torrid is an excellent place for men to shop for women's clothing. I bought a lot of my clothing when I was still pretending to be a man. The SAs there are happy to help men find and try on clothing that fits.
I'm a size 10 but, with women's sizes, the sizing is not always reliable so it's always a good idea to use the fitting room before buying women's clothing.

Hey Sophie!
I've found that Land's End women's basic mock turtleneck shirts and polo shirts work well for me. So does Bonobos' line of shirts, which come tailored for short males like myself. Charter Club size 10 Petite jeans fit great on me. But dressier pants are a problem, so I'll check out Torrid for those!
Jonni ;D

Hey Jonni 🤗
Torrid also has some button down blouses they call "Camp Shirts". They come in solid colors as well as various plaid patterns. The have an androgynous look to them with a feminine cut. They have a generous chest area that tapers nicely at the waist that flares out at the hips to accommodate a more traditional feminine figure. The material is super soft and airy. I wear mine year round.

Hello all. I wear 36 or 34 x 32 mens jeans. I have a pair of womens jeans in a 10. The womens jeans sit lower than the mens. Is this way with most or all of womens jeans? What kind of underwear you wear with them? I wear boxers. I looked at a chart size and shows i would need 15 or 16 to fit which i dont understand unless they are higher up on my body. Thanks

Personally I'm a briefs type of guy, but I do wear boxers when I'm just wearing gym type shorts and want to let everything breathe. I started wearing panties several years ago and loved the way they felt, but never liked how they didn't allow room for my package, which led to the front waist band riding extremely low. I finally stumbled across Joe Boxer briefs and caught some on sale. They are super silky and feel amazing, are made to fit the make anatomy but feel just like panties. I couldn't help myself and right after I received my first order, I ordered even more and have completely replaced my underwear drawer with only these. They are soooo dang comfy.... Joe Boxer only has the "pride" edition on their website right now which I'm not a fan of, but thats what I bought anyway and have no regrets. I 1000% recommend trying them out. If anything just throw out the rainbow pair and have a 3 pack of primary colors. Thats what I did. I wear a 32 waist jean and the medium fit perfect
-
Regarding the low-rise waist of some women's jeans, this may just be for this pair. I have purchased several pair of jeans ranging from low rise to sky high, just not skinny jeans as my calves and ankles just will not fit.

I wear size 12 lee 100% cotton jeans with a 33 inseam that fit perfect. I’m 5-11. Men’s jeans when I wore them were 35-36 waist size. My measurements are 44-37-43. The lee jeans are midrise and hit just below my belly button. High rise jeans hit the belly button. And also it all depends how big your hips and butt is to how they fit. They make jeans for every shape out there. Just have to go try on the different makes and styles.

I agree, COM, and our best fit starts with looking in the women’s, not men’s section

I went to Goodwill today and bought 2 pairs womens pants. The pair that fits is a 10 same as my 1st pair have. The other is a 12/31 and they are tight in the waist.

So I purchased a women's T shirt v neck and it looks much like a man’s initially.
But when I put it on, the only thing giving away my gender is my face. That shirt made me look female! Not a guy wearing a woman shirt, but conforming to my body shape…. Female!

Hi Taxmapper
I think I get where you are coming from.
Women's t shirts in general are subtly but dramatically different as you appear to have discovered!
Typically they have wider and deeper necklines, closely fitted sleeves and added stretch and unsurprisingly....... look "female", but are comfortable.
They are, in short, designed to give some prominence to the bust. Something that many on here wish to avoid.
My comments, if you have any inclination to persist are as follows.
1. They are excellent "as is" for wearing under a shirt type top as they do tuck in much neater.
2. They are great worn tucked in but worn with an untucked shirt left partially or completely unbuttoned,
3. Women's t shirts are available in 100% cotton without stretch and a fairly small crew neck - ie closer to a male style. Look for a "loose fit" or go up one or possibly two sizes
4. Amazon have t shirts in shades aplenty if colour is part of the issue

^ I often look at t shirts online. What I'm noticing more and more at the sites I browse is that t shirts are offered either as womens, or as unisex/mens. The one-way traffic continues! :(

I think the first "ladies" top that I bought was a fitted baby blue v-neck tee. I was actually at Zoë and Company for a bra fitting about 20 years ago when I was still presenting male. I had finally found the bra that I was going to wear home. They also keep a couple different light tops that the sell on display in their fitting rooms. I was kinda fascinated by how soft it was and it was my size too! I tried it on and I was amazed how feminine I looked. My fitter came back in to check on me. I still remember the words she said "what a pretty little figure you have" and something like "why do you hide it?". I actually loved how I looked. I did buy the bra and top. I wore the bra home but, I wasn't ready for the top yet but, I did start buying other ladies tops soon after.
Love yah guys,
Sophie ❤️
