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

Find yourself a friend to go thrift store a shopping with. This requires you to have the courage to hang out and really shop because you have to sort and parse through the extraordinarily random selection, but they tend to have an above average proportion of clothes in rarer sizes. I'm not super tall at 5'9", but thrift stores are the only places I go that regularly have clothing too long and tall for me. I can always find skirts to step on at Goodwill! I'm very slim and wear a small in many brands, but I tend to find at least one skirt I would get if only it were shorter per Goodwill trip. And most thrift stores have done away with trying things in store in favor of a one week return policy. Just make sure you'll be able to get back within that time, and you can try everything on in the privacy of your own home. The post shopping fashion show is part of the thrift store experience in my house.

You can also get cutes belts! It only helps with things that almost fit anyway, but it can seriously make a difference in the number of applicable garments you find.
