I just started to wear some fem-clothe at all. So I have some question fore more experienced girls.

I face an issue when dressing, I am pretty tall and don't have hips (nor belly). I realized that when buying fem-clothe, I need to go one size shorter than when buying boy close, or the skirt will simply fall due to my lack of hips.

Being tall means if I wear a size-M, I feel like my clothe are very short. (It's may-be a self confindence issue). The skirt I am wearing right now stop like mid tight (rather than above the knee), I feel my skin touching my chair, and feel like that I need to move on a very specific way to not show up my underwear (Actually I like that, feel like it force mes to move on a feminine way).

I am also not confident enough yet to spend time in the women's aisle let alone try clothe at the store, so I just have a quick look, grab something and try-it at home

Do you have any tips for tall girls ? Which kind of clothe shall I wear/avoid especially as I don't have hips nor breast

I'm 5'11" feet tall, USA, my personal style is very practical and not very feminine, and I shop almost exclusively online. It's more expensive, but it works for me for many reasons. I'm too busy to go shopping. But when I have, there's at least one supportive employee eager to help me.

  • I measure myself and compare those measurements to the Size Guide. Sometimes the measurements are still off, but I havent had trouble.

  • Sometimes I buy specifically from brands advertising Tall and Plus Size. In some garments, a Tall XL has been the perfect fit for me. For example, Overalls.

  • My basic outfit consists of High Waisted Jeans and a Scoop Neck T-shirt that is tucked into them. Lightly colored jeans, dark T-shirt.

  • I am never wearing clothing that is uncomfortable for me. I depend on a woven nylon belt to keep my jeans up, they are a bit loose.

  • I've watched a few videos about how to dress for trans fems. Nano Nano made one thats just 6 minutes, it was enough for me to get started.

As always, your mileage may vary.
