Whether you’re a crossdresser or a MTF transgender woman, wearing lingerie is a great way to connect with your female self.
How can you NOT feel totally girly in a pretty lace bra and panties? But let’s face it… It’s hard to hide your flaws when you are practically naked!
In this blog post on transgender / crossdresser lingerie, I share some simple tips and tricks to help you look and feel your best in feminine lingerie. Read on to learn more!
1. Get The Right Fit
Nothing will destroy your image faster than saggy bra cups or too-tight panties creating a “muffin top.” That’s why it’s so important to choose lingerie that fits properly.
Here are some tips to ensure that you have the right fit:
- Your bra and panties should fit snug, but should never dig into your skin. (That’s how you get ugly bulges.)
- Be sure to check your bra cups – they should fit smoothly over your breasts or breast forms.
- Wrinkled bra cups means you need a smaller cup size. I got into depth on how to find your correct bra size in this article.
Having a hard time finding a bra that fits? Try the Flatter Me Bra by Itty Bitty Bra. It’s specially designed for those with smaller breasts and broader body proportions, so it’s ideal for crossdressers and transgender women.
2. Flatter Your Shape
The #1 secret to looking hot in lingerie is to hide your flaws while highlighting your assets. Here are some flattering pieces to consider:
Babydoll lingerie
Ruffled panties
Kimono Robe
- Babydoll lingerie – Babydoll lingerie is sweet and sexy and best of all, it’s great for hiding an ample belly or full midsection.
- Ruffled panties – Do you wish you had more curves? Ruffled panties feminize your figure by adding fullness to the hips and behind.
- Kimono robe – Slip on a sexy kimono to hide broad shoulders. Look for a sheer style so you can disguise your upper body while still showing some skin.
3. Complement Your Skin Tone
Color has a dramatic effect on your appearance (and your mood), so choose wisely.
The most important thing is to choose colors that complement your skin tone:
- White and black are popular lingerie colors, but they tend to make pale skin look even more pasty.
- Nude tones and bright colors flatter most skin tones.
Have some fun with this! Choose colors that make you feel sexy, girly, vampy – or whatever aspect of your personality you want to channel that day.
4. Be Impeccable With Your Grooming
Unwanted body hair can definitely distract from a sexy, feminine image. If you’re going to wear lingerie, be sure your grooming habits are up to par.
Here are some tips to consider:
- Shave or wax regularly.
- Exfoliate several times per week to avoid ingrown hair.
- Apply body lotion daily so you are always prepared to show some skin.

Hi Lucille, I hope that I am not out of line in saying that as a TS woman, I would be happy to volunteer my pictures as a model for whatever you may choose to use them for! I also believe that so many other TS/TG/CD sisters would agree with my offer. Lucille, you help us so much with your advise and guidance and I am sure that like myself, other girls would love to give back a bit of what you have given us. Thank you Lucille for all of your advice and guidance, it has been invaluable to me in my transition from… that thing that I used to be to a woman of refined dignity, grace, and beauty!
What do you say ladies? Can we give our pics for Lucilles usage?
Hmmm, what is my favorite lingerie? Really I don’t wear any lingerie. I tend to wear my nude (why is it called nude if it is not skin colored for people of my tone, african american/hispanic?) panties and a standard Walmart bra usually. My bedtime wear, unless my partner and I are in a frisky mood, is usually a pair of black or white sweatpants and a black or white tanktop, very sexy right ;)? But I am also a professional truck driver by trade and full time transition so “looking sexy” is not the highest item on my priority list. But to be honest, I do have a black bra with pink lace trim and a pair of red silk ruffled panties that I must to wear for special occasions or romantic nights out with my life-partner! I do however occasonally leave just the tops of my panty sides/bands pulled above my jeans for a bit of mystery and sex appeal for my partner and have been considering a new babydoll top and a new bra and panty set as well. I’m also looking into a new, sexy wardrobe later in the year!
Hi,
Well men seem to respond well to my stockings too. But then again, a lot of men compliment me on my shoes! So many seem to have a real foot fetish. They like spike heels and open toed to see my feet.
I have a lot of shoes. I love my shoes too but I don’t really understand how they enjoy feet so much. So anyway, because men respond so well to stockings and heels, that makes me feel sexy. 🙂
Also I like Joanna’s comment about wigs. I feel like there’s something magic about how they make me feel like a new person!!

I love lingerie, unfortunately most of the time I wear big nude colour knickers in order to cover up all the foundation wear underneath to hide that man thing

From about 10 years old, I saw my mom wearing beautiful vanity fair and van raalte nylon and lace trim half slip, nylon full brief panties, nylon bra, silky sheer rht mylon stockings, and I knew I was going to try on her lingerie when she was not home. I got my chance to dress up in them, and fell in love with the feminine look and feel of them
