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 like to wear lingerie under my male clothing even to the point of using breast prosthetics in my bralette. This sole act helps to build confidence in me every day.
I’ve been crossdressing since I was 3 yrs old but at that age older adults would interpret that activity as “he’s only emulating his mother or his sisters” but in my mind I was screaming “NO I AM NOT, I AM JUST LIKE MY SISTERS. WHY CAN’T PEOPLE SEE THAT?”
I didn’t find out much later in life that I was transgender ⚧️; that for some odd reason, God put a woman’s brain inside a big man’s body. It’s cruel being this way but cisgender women have to deal with more crap than I can ever dream about so I feel for them and I thank God now for letting me find Lucille are her friends to help me through this ordeal.
Now, to be honest with myself and y’all, I don’t look at all like the picture attached to this comment but my soulmate who is known as Stephanie looks like her because that image of Stephanie is what I see looking back at me when I look into a mirror!
I like to dress as a woman in very satin I lingerie. What would you recommend
