frilly-panty-set

What could be more feminine than beautiful lingerie? And more importantly, how the right style makes you feel. Whether you enjoy looking girly and romantic or downright sexy, lingerie is a great way to express your femme self. Half the fun, of course, is changing it up from time. So what’s your lingerie style?

Romantic

Are you a girly girl? If so, express your sweetness by wearing items that are adorned with lace, bows, and frilly details. Choose soft, feminine colours like pink, peach, and cream to create a dreamy mood. Must-have pieces: Lace bra, ruffled panties, pink babydoll nightie.

Ladylike Behaviour

Ladylike Behaviour

Ladylike - How to behave and some General No Nos

ladylike-2Ladylike behaviour can mean being classy, gracious, and elegant So what should you do to present yourself as a lady? I think the best way to answer that is to talk about what NOT to do... Mistake #1: Showing too much skin Sometimes less is more. Just a hint of Cleavage Legs or boobs but not both on show.   Not too short of skirt – you shouldn’t be able to see your panties when you sit down.   ladylike-1Mistake #2: Not minding your manners Saying “please” and “thank you” are simple ways to elevate your ladylike status. Mistake #3: Being sloppy with your grooming Grooming can make or break your feminine image. Making sure your hair is always clean and tidy, no lipstick on your teeth, your make up should always be understated but perfectly applied.   Mistake #4: Losing control   One of the most important qualities of a lady (and of any respectable human being) is self control – especially when you’re out in public. In other words, no diva acts, angry outbursts, or public displays of drunkenness. It seems obvious, but if celebrity tabloids are any indication, it’s not. ladylike-3Mistake #5: Poor posture or body language   Finally, don’t forget that your posture and body language communicate more about you than anything you say. Here are some major no-nos:
  • Slouching
  • Biting your nails or playing with your hair
  • Not making eye contact
  • Crossing your arms

Feminine Movements

Feminine Movements

bi1Clothes, hair, and makeup are important aspects of your feminine image. But so are your MOVEMENTS and they say a lot.   You don’t want to give off a masculine vibe that is exaggerated and Avoid these common mistakes to be a more realistic and convincing female.   Over-exaggerated hip swinging A woman’s sexy walk should be just that  - sexy. Don’t overdo it though and swing them too much – a nice gentle sway is all you need. Put your high heels on and walk naturally and the high heels will make your hips sway all by themselves !!   img-thingStiff body movements Relax and let your feminine instincts take over.   Poor posture Your posture is the foundation for your movements. Here are two posture mistakes to avoid:
  • Slouching:Don’t slouch – it’s not feminine
  • Arching your back: Stand tall instead
  sexy-woman-walkingStocky shoulder movements Men carry their weight in their upper bodies,so keep your shoulders down and back. If you feel your shoulders coming forward, literally roll them back into place.   Focus on keeping your shoulders still while relaxing the hips. This will help transfer the movement to your lower body.   Keep your body weight neutral (or even slightly back) instead of leaning forward. This helps downplay the look of your shoulders.

Bra Fitting - How to Get the Best and Most Feminine Fit

how to guides

Bra Fitting

[caption id="attachment_4001" align="alignleft" width="150"]bra Bra Fitting[/caption] There's no easier way to feel feminine than to slip into a beautiful bra and bra fitting is part of this. The problem is that most bras aren't built with crossdressers and transgender women in mind. That can make it hard to find a bra that looks and fits right. Let us help you with our Bra problem Busting Tips !! Problem #1: Wrinkled or gapping bra cups Bra cups that don’t lay smooth are a common problem. Fortunately, there are two easy fixes:
  • Go down a cup size
  • Choose a half cup bra instead of a full coverage bra
Problem #2: Can’t find a bra my size If you don’t wear breast forms, it can be tricky to find a bra with a large band and small cups. (Which is what most crossdressers and transgender women need.)   [caption id="attachment_4010" align="alignleft" width="150"]frilly-panty-set Bra Fitting[/caption] Here at Transformation all our bras are made with this in mind Check them out here Lingerie   
Problem #3: Back bulge
Back bulge is another common problem. The causes are back fat and/or an ill-fitting bra. How can you avoid the dreaded back bulge?
  • Wear a larger band size.
 
  • Look for a bra with give.
 
  • [caption id="attachment_4007" align="alignleft" width="150"]classic-long-line-bra-p1894-6219_zoom Bra Fitting[/caption] Try a longline bra
Problem #4: Wide-set breasts Crossdressers and transgender women tend to have wide-set breasts because of their wider rib cages. This makes it harder to 1.) Find a bra that fits properly and 2.) Create the look of cleavage. Here are four solutions for wide-set breasts:
  • Look for pushup pads.
 
  • Wear a wireless bra.
 
  • Choose a bra with a wide center panel
 
[caption id="attachment_4008" align="alignleft" width="150"]Bra Fitting Bra Fitting[/caption] Problem #5: Bra straps fall down Nothing is more annoying than straps that don’t stay put. Here’s how to solve this problem:
  • Tighten the bra straps.
  • Look for silicone bra strap
  • Try a different bra style.
Problem #6: Breast forms don’t stay in place If you wear breast forms, the right bra is critical. Here are five tips to keep in mind:
  • Option #1: Pocketed bra
 
  • Make sure the bra band is snug enough.
 
  • Avoid low cut bras.
.
  • Avoid bras that are too small
Problem #7: Bra shows through clothing Just like visible panty lines, a bra that shows through your clothes isn’t chic. (Unless, of course, you purposely want to show it off.) Here’s how to keep your bra under cover:
  • Look for bras with smooth cups and minimal details.
 
  • Wear a black or nude bra.

Presenting Yourself As A Woman - Deportment and Etiquette

how to guides

Presenting Yourself As A Woman - Deportment and Etiquette

 

 

When presenting yourself as a woman, every detail matters. The way you act is just as important as the way you look. Deportment and etiquette are especially important. Does etiquette sound like an old-fashioned concept from the 1950s? It’s not. Knowing the proper etiquette makes you look classy and feminine which is so important during your transition and goes a long way towards a positive first impression. (Besides, you never know when you might be invited to a garden party with the Queen at Buckingham Palace!)

 

 

Greetings

 

These are the general rules when meeting somebody for the first time:

 

  • Shake the hand of the person you are being introduced to.
  • If you are sitting down, stand up to shake their hand.
  • Look them in the eyes and smile.
  • Bonus points if you say the other person’s name you meet them.

 

Kissing, air kissing, and hugs depend on cultural norms and how well you know somebody. When in doubt, let the other person lead. If it’s a good friend then of course you are free to hug or kiss away!

 

 

Sitting Down

 

Always sit down and cross your legs at the ankle, not only does it make your legs appear slimmer it is also more ladylike.

 

Punctuality: Take pride in being timely.  Just because other people are late on occasion doesn’t mean you should be

 

Dressing – do not overdress especially if going out in the daytime, so a simple skirt or trousers with a top and low heeled shoes. Choose styles that are currently popular but don’t be a fashion victim.

 

 

Make-up – women do not wear heavy makeup in the daytime so a sheer beard cover, light powder, toned-down lipstick, light dusting of blusher, eyeliner, brown spectrum eyeshadow and mascara is as much as you need. Training DVD available

 

Hairstyle – Natural hair colour as near as you own maximum shoulder-length

 

Stockings or tights. Opaque will cover any hair on legs and are fashionable and flattering.

 

Jewellery simple but classic

 

Speech – do not try & speak in a falsetto voice, breath from your stomach and aim for a breathy sound Speech Therapy of Feminising your voice CD course available

 

Deportment – Women walk, stand & sit differently to men so take time to observe. Deportment Training DVD available

 

Confidence – Looking nervous identifies you immediately as a crossdresser or a terrorist, neither of which is good. Walk tall and be the gorgeous, feminine female you have always wanted to be.

 

We do have a Make Up and Deportment Training DVD available which is a great help in all these matters
