Elizabeth Taylor has been providing male-to-female makeovers, fantasy feminization sessions, professional photography, makeup lessons, and accompanied outings en femme at her private studio in the Washington, DC metro area since 2013. Her studio is located in LGBTQ+-friendly Takoma Park, Maryland, just minutes from Washington, DC. As part of client outings, we often go shopping at local and regional malls and stand-alone stores. The following stores are some of my favorites locally and online.

Crossdresser-Friendly and Transgender-friendly Shopping in DC Metro Area

For shopping in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, I have a few clothing and lingerie stores that welcome crossdressers and transgender women. Stores like Macy’s, Nordstrom Rack, DSW, Ulta, and Sephora are also good places to shop.

Create your Feminine Shape with DressTech Shapewear

For silicone hip and butt pads, I use DressTech in my studio. The short hip pads in size large are the most popular ones since they work with shorter dresses and skirts. The short hip pads can be held in place with tight underwear or a gaff plus tights. For more security for adventures out, a spandex short can be added. The long hip pads in large and big girl are great for photos. However, they are heavy so they move out of position more easily than the short hip pads. They must be held in place with a tight spandex short.

Gown and Clothing Alterations

For clothing and gown alterations, I use Noemi’s Creations in Falls Church, Virginia. Noemi is by appointment only. She has been working with the transgender, crossdressing, and fetish communities for over a decade.

Amazon Storefront

If you’ve been to see me for a makeover or makeup lesson, we’ve likely used some of the products from my Amazon storefront.

I have a list of makeup kit accessories, links to some of my favorite wigs, and a few body shaping options.

Breast forms from Amazon

Here are links to some starter breast forms, and you’ll get a more realistic look and feel than with your DIY-versions. I don’t advise trying to glue these on your body as the forms aren’t super tough like some. For this low price point, these are a steal.
