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.

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.
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.

These suggestions are great. There is so much that I have learned from you and the other girls here. The most valuable thing that I have learned is to become comfortable with yourself. I have found that doing this allows me to be more passable more easily. People don’t give me a second thought. I especially enjoy having a conversation with other women (g-girls) and they don’t suspect any difference. I love it.
ya ,each and every one of these tips is extremely important and i must say they have been so helpful to me, especially eye contact and settin the intention
I guess I have no problem..I keep getting called beautiful by people I don’t even know, and in the last few days even was asked for my picture. Sometimes I feel like a celebrity.
I would never have expected this even in my wildest dreams before transition.
Lucille,
Thanks for all your helpful advice.

Hi all,
Over the years of digital cameras i have found that taking regular photo’s has helped with style, dress-sence, makeup and confidince. dont forget front and rear. now with video on most cameras it is also a good tool for walking and presention. Showing them to a friend also helps with confidince and for another view for possible changes that are needed.
Another check is are you ready to use the ladies loo, this is a Necessity as if you get it wrong it can be devistating and embarasing.
Hi Sharon,
What a fantastic reply to a fantastic blog posting by Lucille. I would totally agree with you and say that if you are the kind of girl that wants to perfect the overall look and go out then the digital or video camera and analysing pictures and video is quite possibly the greatest investment you can make.
