My Shopping Spree

Becoming Alyssa

Yesterday I had my first ever bra fitting, to my amazement, I was actually measuring myself correctly, I'm a 40 nearly B cup, which of course the lingerie shop doesn't stock, but as I posted yesterday in the bra challenge forum, there's a company called Lulalu, that offers small sizes for those of us who are small busted, check them out ladies, I ordered 6 of them, really EXCITED to see if I've found my perfect bra!!!!! Then I just went crazy shopping for skirts and dresses, this was all online, so I hope everything will fit okay, would love your opinions ladies!

Such swooshy swingy skirts & dresses! They will be fun when summer finally arrives. But mostly, it’s just always fun to see people in transition. I have never delighted in my clothes the way y’all do. So thanks for sharing your happiness. Enjoy the try-ons. I hope you dance!

Hi Alyssa! Welcome! I'm happy that your bra fitting went well! Love all the blues (that's why I am BlueJay...:) )! The first skirt is awesome and I love the second blue dress too. I'd "borrow" them from your closet. I hope they work out for you when they arrive!

I like the blue ones. 2 and 9 are my favourites, but I suspect 9 is the most fun to wear.

Tina

Ooh. 1 and 9 are my favorites! Wishing you success on the bras -- and no bra rage.

chewy spaghetti : thank you, I spent to much, hoping I'll love everything!

RobinF : thank you, I'm excited, I LOVE skirts and dresses!

Stagiaire Fash : thank you, I love how you describe the skirts as swooshy and swingy, yes, so feminine! Thank you for your support, I feel welcome here, most women are very supportive of my transition, men on the other hand, think it's a " choice " I made to be a woman, they don't know the pain and suffering we transgenders endure before we take the steps to have the body we were denied at birth, SO THANK YOU!

Sorry for rambling here ladies

merwoman : thank you, I think they're so pretty, and yes, yummy!

Blue Jay: thank you, I love the blues, I spent way to much, but a girl's gotta shop, right?

Angie: thank you, the dress is FABULOUS!

Lana : thank you, I'm excited, now I need bags, heeled sandals, and jewelry to accessories!!!!

rachylou : thank you, I hope I'll love everything, but we take chances buying online, but I love to shop!

Tina : thank you, no bra rage now, I LOVE my Lulalu bra, great bras for those of us A and B cup girls, hoping not to look to flat in a couple of those dresses!

Cardiff Girl : thank you, I hope I'll love everything, but until I try them on? Now i really need some heeled sandals to pair with them!

Kate : thank you, it's so exciting to create a wardrobe, I literally don't have a single midi/maxi skirt, or dress for spring and summer!

Style Fan : thank you, the bra fitting was exciting, being born into the wrong body, I missed out on getting one as a teenage girl, I used to cry myself to sleep back then, because I couldn't grow breasts like the other girls, thank God for estrogen, but I'm happy now! Hopefully I'll love my skirts and dresses!

Love that first skirt especially! Skirts and dresses are sooooo much more comfortable in summer than shorts and pants!

Alyssa, It’s so nice you were able to get an in person bra fitting! I think our local bra shop closed for lack of business during Covid restrictions. So sad! The dresses you chose look fun and comfy for warm weather. I hope they work out!

Alyssa- do you have shoes and accessories to go with yet??

Your comments about estrogen and teen you wishing your breasts would grow have me thinking…. there have always been trans people, but hormones have only become available recently. I know many civilizations have recognized more than two genders, but have never thought much about those kids growing up and recognizing themselves. Otoh, there are certainly many of us who had to make peace with our bodies in less extreme ways, whether around sex characteristics or other things. I didn’t want breasts until they were useful for nursing and my son has loathed his body hair since it began, yet we are both cis-gendered. Now I’m the one who’s rambling. I tend to do that.

Love that skirt you added in! With all the blues, it might be fun to try bright blue shoes.
