Did you know you only have 7 seconds to make a first impression?
If you want to start crossdressing or presenting yourself as a woman, making a strong first impression is key!
In this blog post, I’ll share 7 easy ways to ensure you leave a feminine first impression that lasts. Let’s dive in!
1. Know What You Want to Project
Start by figuring out what image you want to project:
- Do you aim to blend in as an everyday girl?
- Or do you prefer to stand out as a gender-bending fashion diva?
- Do you want to be recognized for your style and sophistication?
- Or do you simply want people to notice your great legs? 🙂
Knowing your desired image helps you align your appearance and attitude with your goals.
2. Be Aware of Your Body Language
Body language is critical to first impressions. You never want to look nervous, shy, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, arrogant.
Instead, project the image of a classy, confident lady deserving of respect.Â

3. Wear The Right Color
Did you know that 50% of all non-verbal messages come from color? It’s true!
The colors you wear have a strong impact on how people perceive you, especially when presenting as a woman.
In this blog post, I share the meanings of different colors so you can choose shades that flatter you and boost your confidence.
4. Check your Grooming Habits
Physical attractiveness often boils down to self-care – grooming, neat hair, and stylish clothes.
Luckily, your presentation is within your control! Don’t underestimate the power of good grooming – it can make or break a first impression.Â
Here are 5 feminine grooming habits to incorporate into your routine.
5. Mind your Shapewear
The shape of your body powerfully broadcasts your gender expression in an instant. To appear as feminine as possible, consider investing in quality shapewear, such as:
- High-quality breast forms
- A waist cincher or corset
- Hip and butt padding
Shapewear helps create the right body proportions and feminine curves.
6. Dress for the Occasion
Have you ever found yourself overdressed or underdressed for a particular occasion? Not only do you feel awkward, but you stick out like a sore thumb!
Ensure a positive first impression by dressing appropriately for the occasion and adhering to local style norms.
7. Accessorize for Impact
Accessories can make or break an outfit and your first impression.
A high-quality handbag or beautiful shoes can elevate your look, while scuffed shoes or mismatched accessories can do the opposite.
Add the right touches, such as beautiful jewelry or a flattering pair of sunglasses, to enhance your feminine appearance.

I’m a casual dresser, casual outfits. I don’t go in formal wear unless its an extreme, formal event, but not to show off. I am in a relationship and plan to get married in a very formal wedding dress with all the ‘trimmings’ underneath! After all, he needs ‘eye candy’ too.
Lucille – you’re absolutely right about making a good, feminine first impression.
I would say I’m more of a “gender-bending fashion diva”, but have noticed that following your tips seems to make people more relaxed starting with my first impression, and even distracts them if they’re not completely comfortable with my fashion choices.
P.S. Love so many of your posts…and thank you for giving us such valuable insight.

I love to be classy and mature in my dressing, not to attract too much attention but to look very womanly at the same time and definitely not to attract the attention of younger people, love my eyes and lips being well made as I really want to be able to look people in the eye. Love your recommendations they are absolutely spot on. Belinda
Belinda, that outfit is just darling. I’d love to have one just like it.
Much love

Always conscious of my stride when I walk and the way my arms swing as to keep it elegant and feminine as well as the way I dress not trying to be too exposing but showing enough skin as to still be classy etc.
All the great clothes and shoes are nice, but I feel the best when I’m naked and just shaved . Sexy and smelling good. I could put on anything after that and still feel fem.
I agree with you, Rachel. I don’t have to be dressed to feel fem , love to be naked in front of the mirror, but I do need my wig 🙂
I Wear Red & Black Color Combinations With Plenty Of Eye Make-Up, Long False Eyelashes, Deep Red Lips With Matching Red Long, Well Manicured Nails, Fragrant Floral Perfume And Lots Of Sparkly Jewelry To Include Long Dangling Rhinestone Earrings That Show Prominently Under My Red Or Blonde Chin Length Hair. I Want Men And Women To Quickly Notice That I Have Transformed Myself Into A Sexy, Seductive, Ultra-Feminine, Very Approachable And “Available” Female Who Is Looking For A Discreet Good Time!
Pleasurable Conversation, Elegant Food & Drink, Romantic Interludes, And Passionate Intimacies Are The Frequent Result Of Being Out & About As The Classy, Sexy Lady I Love To Become!

Hi Victoria, I have this absolutely gorgeous red and black dress with a lovely black lace sleeves and bust area that I just love, something about black and red that just seem to work so well together. cherio Belinda.
My goal is to blend in as an everyday girl. Not too much make up, ordinary clothes and shoes.
