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.

I start with daintily frilled (around the thighs and waist)lite-pink briefs in nylon/elastane fabric. I agree with Jenni M, in favor of sheer, nylon stockings and ultra-feminine garter belt ~ thnx so much!!Jenni (to be purchased next;). I also love my summer silken, floral~ rose pattened, demure, shorty wrap/gown with dainty, lacy trim. In addition, ever since my teenage years, I’ve been totally affected by soso cute baby-dolls with gathered-bodice at base of bust-line..(again lite-pink with lacy ribbons and bows)to be put on list for next shopping purchase. I love to do in-house tidying and fussying whilst wearing seductive lingerie and so fortunate that significant other enjoys and positively praises me. Thank you Lucille for the opportunity to reply about wonderous, dainty items. Love, Jayne
I like all kinds of lingerie its just I have one issue with bras by the measurements my band is 34 and my bust ranges arround 36.5 to 37 that makes me a C and their not dune growing yet some bras fit and some do not fit especially when I’m on the small end of a C barely becoming a medium C and the other issue is the back band leaves red marks even know its the correct size I know it happens to some women. but my Favorite is my Victoria secret wireless T-shirt bra fits me the best in a 34 C its the bra in the picture and my steampunk corset belt is my other favorite.
yes i love anything pink prefered in satin and lace. have a pretty pink bra low cut with sexy white lace and pretty bows. since i started to greow breasts i went from a 42a to a 48 c cup. i love them i took about a year. and now my biggest goal is to lose some pounds with in return will accent my bust even more. again thank you for your help in being what i was meant to be! feminine.
For me it’s my laced up corset pink and black with mini skirt, It makes me very sexy, I love this piece.

Lucille…I think lingerie was the first thing I wanted to buy when I started dressing so many years ago. I have such a big closet full of all kinds. I am up in years so now I even buy satin robes from stores like Sears or Kohls that many would call “granny robes”….nevertheless, I feel comfy in them and I feel more my age. Not to dismiss the ocassional wearing of my Victorias Secret shorties…so sexy. I love VS Angels Dream demi bras for the fit. Those VS salesgirls are so helpful. Lipstick and Lingerie forever!
Hi Lucille! To feel really feminent I like to wear silk and satin lingerie, my favorite colors are pink, blue and red. When it comes to stockings I prefer suntan or black ultra shine thigh highs. High heels pink, silver and black. However I only get dressed up at home. I’m still in the closet. When I go out I only wear panties, bra and negligee under my mens clothe. Let me know what you think.
thank you for letting me express my opinion.

Hi Lucille
Thank you for everything you do for the TG community!
I love wearing suspenders and stocking especially in winter, but due to my slim shape and the lack of hips (most of us have this problem) my suspender often ends up around my crotch area, being held up by the crotch of my jeans. If I had hips the suspender belt would stay up – but I don’t… How do I solve this problem?
