I give a hypothetical experience: let's say I have this friend, and she want to buy a dress for her self.
First she knows, because she is a TG girl she not going to get in to a ladies dress room ...not yet.
she also, thinks it will look odd if she goes in to the mens changing room with a dress, and because the store is kinda far from her home; she does not want to buy the thing just to return it; if it doesn't fit right ....
So, what does she do in that instance???. ...Seriously, I have no clue??
PS this is not about me ...I don't not like dresses...My legs are just tooooooo big for a dress,
but they are pretty.
All advice will much appereciated!

Well, since she has boxed herself out , no pun intended , go to a Catalouge store or On-line . Look, womens clothing sizes are NOT what they claim to be . Different garments will be too small and too large in a given size . Take a Pendleton skirt for instance , Their stuff actually runs small in their Wool stuff, trust me on this . You go to Talbotts , it's large . Yes, both retailers are "High End stores ". Both have On line stores too.

I do prefer buying most things in person. But reputable online retailers make returns very easy. I often order tall sizes online since there are very few stores locally that carry tall sizes. Just take your measurements and pay close attention to their sizing charts. I also found that I had to imagine the clothing on me rather than on their perfect body model. That helps me avoid some clothing styles that simply don't work for my body type.

I will be increasing my online purchases as I begin to transition...after and if I get passable and more courage...then I will very much enjoy shopping for clothes in person
