Organizing a Cross-Dressing Wishlist

Cross-dressing requires a lot of different items. Because of that, we buy makeup, feminine clothes, and even shapewear to look like a woman. There are too many items to purchase and even more options. As a result, sometimes we get lost in our purchases while indecision takes over. A well-organized wishlist is essential to avoid this kind of a mess. However, some of us aren’t familiarized with this concept yet.

You must learn how to set up your priorities and how to organize them. By trying out the old stuff and discovering new outfits, you may also notice what you need to buy next. The last steps are more technical and require you to do price research in a few select web stores. But it’s also essential to keep an eye on shipping fees to make sure your purchase is affordable and that you can receive it safely. Considering all of that, I’ll give you in-depth explanations for each of these steps. I want you to create a wishlist for your context.

1. Try out what you have in your closet

If you’ve been following this blog, the chances are that you already have a selection of cross-dressing items in your wardrobe. But each of us has a different quantity, depending on how far we’ve come in our journeys. The point is that you possibly have some outfits from your early cross-dressing days, which you haven’t tried in a while. And maybe it is time for you to replace them.

Start by going through your wardrobe, and do a test-fit for everything you haven’t worn in the last six months. If you feel like it’s too loose, too tight, or inefficient, consider adding a replacement to your wishlist. This way, you make sure your wardrobe is constantly updated, preventing you from losing outfits. This tip may benefit cross-dressers in general, but even more those on a diet or going through HRT.

2. Discover new styles

Once again, I want to emphasize that outfit options are almost endless. If you’re not sure what to buy, be sure that it’s normal to feel like that. Every outfit we see on sale is an option for those who don’t know what they want. And in most cases, that’s because they didn’t come up with a style of their own yet. Your style is very personal, and the best one is whichever makes you happy. The real problems here are indecision and lack of inspiration.

But we can overcome this feeling and settle for a style that suits us. If you haven’t decided yet, maybe that’s because you still didn’t find the right style. You need inspiration, and many places online can provide you with that. A few recommendations are websites such as Pinterest and DeviantArt. In them, you can find alternative photoshoots of some outfits. But if you want to see trendy material, head to Instagram and look up a few web celebrities.

If you do this research for a few areas, you’re likely to come across a style that catches your eye. The Internet is filled with as many ideas as you can imagine. It allows people to share them, so it is the perfect place to find inspiration and discover something new. But if you’re willing to do some fieldwork, go to the mall. You’ll see what women wear nowadays and possibly get hints of future trendy topics there.

3. Think about practical items

Building up a cross-dressing wishlist is not only about the looks and outfits. You must also consider useful stuff that boosts your experience. I mean that clothes alone won’t be able to feminize you. You need as many items with feminizing potential as possible. And including them on your wishlist is a constant reminder of their importance. So, what exactly should you consider?

First, think about what issues and difficulties you face as a cross-dresser. What do you think you need to improve your feminization experience and passability? If you are ashamed of your unshaven legs, consider stockings and hosiery. If you’re unhappy with your curves, invest in shapewear. If you’d like a new hairstyle, include a new wig on your wishlist. It’s all a matter of analyzing what you think you need. We all have something about our feminine image that makes us unhappy. But when we see it, we may work to make our experience more pleasant.

4. It’s always good to keep makeup in mind

This one is a no-brainer. Makeup is what cross-dressers use the most and is one of the most important items we can buy. The feminization of your whole face depends on it, hence its importance. Some of happen to have a more androgynous complexion, but most are not. So if you plan to pass as a girl, you must buy enough makeup to keep a stock. And the best way to prevent running out of makeup is to add it to your wishlist.

You want to keep track of your stock, especially the supplies you use the most. These are the ones you’re more likely to run out of and usually the most important. A few good examples are foundation, concealer, and lipstick. And if you use a single shade of eyeshadow, keep track of it. My tip here is for you to add a makeup item to your wishlist as soon as you have less than half of it. It also includes the stuff you use to clean your face afterward, such as makeup remover and cotton balls.

5. Select a few stores and websites

Knowing where to buy is as important as knowing what to buy. Once you have a rough sketch of your wishlist, look for websites or physical stores that may contain what you are looking for. This way, you avoid being lost when looking for this stuff and can plan your future shopping trips. Knowing the reputation of each store also lets you know what to expect from the products’ quality.

I have a few recommendations, depending on what you want to buy. For outfits in general, Amazon is excellent, with a great range of options and fast delivery rates. If you’re looking for plus-size options that fit diverse body types, I recommend SheIn. They also have plenty of options for you to choose from. If you’re looking for shapewear, breast forms, and other silicone solutions, try the Roanyer website. Besides that, we have a good selection of wigs and cross-dressing accessories.

6. Do a price and availability check

While you create your wishlist, prices are also something to keep in mind. The same item might have different prices in different stores. It is also worth checking how many said things they have in stock. Take note of it, and add it to your wishlist as side notes. It helps you track your expenses and how much you’re likely to pay for each thing. Another good tip is to calculate the average cost of each item and your wishlist as a whole.

7. A few words about shipping

You should also include shipping costs while calculating expenses. Take it into consideration while looking for stores, and keep in mind that some of them offer free shipping in some situations. If you’re buying from multiple stores, you may pay too much for shipping. I recommend you buy as many items from the same store as possible. Not only does it reduce the shipping costs, but it also increases your chances of qualifying for free shipping. In some cases, it’s a more significant discount than you would expect.

Besides all of that, it’s also important to select a discreet shipping method, especially if you still cross-dress in secret. A good tactic is to rent a postal box in the nearest post office, so you can pick up your packages later. Another option is to ask for a friend’s help on that matter. If they accept, they may receive the packages for you. These are two discreet ways of receiving the items without anyone else finding out that you cross-dress.

8. Save the list as a file of your preference

After that, all you have to do is save your wishlist as a file of your choice. Many people I know choose PDF or DOCx as their preferred formats. But that’s okay if you keep it in the cloud in services such as Google Drive and MEGA. What I recommend you to do besides that is to keep hyperlinks in your file, leading towards the websites in which you can find each item. But if you want to go shopping instead of buying it online, print your wishlist and take it with you. Another alternative is to use built-in wishlists from each web store, but they are often limited.

As we can see, keeping our wish lists organized helps us to improve our cross-dressing experience. If you happen to have your subsequent purchases in mind, keep track of stores, prices, and availability. Otherwise, look for inspiration online and discover new options. Besides that, they may also help you save some money and calculate expenses. Have you ever tried to do something like that?
