Hello fellow LGBT peeps! My friend and I have gender identity disorder, or in other words, we're transgender. I was born female, and my friend male. I have no problem dressing in clothes I am comfortable in due to the fact that women dressing in mens clothing isn't taboo, where vice versa it's like "what the hell?!"

Anyhoo~ on that note, my friend hasn't dressed in womens clothing since he was a child, due to the fact he played with his neighbors who were girls. He wants to experiment a bit, and so him, myself, and another friend who knows about him plan to take him out on a little shopping spree. He doesn't plan on telling his folks, and my mother knows, so we're going to stash his stuff at my place until he does move out.

Now, here's the part we need help with. We know nothing of womens fashion. Me because no one in my family wears much of what would be popular today, though my mother and sister tend to wear it a lot more often than me, for obvious reasons. The friend that's tagging along, although she's female and not transgender -as far as we know-, has very little fashion sense. If there are any MTFs out there that can give us any advice what so ever, we'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I've noticed a trend in hippy-type clothing (Funk-E People, for example), and also what I like to call "granny tones"; really faded pinks, that I really don't like or recommend. XD
But yeah, I would go with Funk-E People, because although the dresses and things there aren't too particularly feminine, at the same time they're not very difficult size-wise. You don't necessarily need curves to pull them off.

It seems reasonable. I'll have to ask him when I see him again. Though he does have a curve to him, as he is very thin.
Thanks.

It all depends on his skintone and what style he's shooting for.

If he wants to go trendy,
he can do something like the following:

Try going to a mall, and people watching for a while, picking out outfits that she likes on other people.
Then, go to stores and try to find pieces that can make up similar outfits.
If you need help, or more than that, print out pictures of outfits she likes online and bring them to shop assistants at various stores, asking them to help you find pieces that can make up similar outfits.
you can be the one to ask, if your town isn't very liberal, since you're female-bodied.

Good luck!
