Shopping in DC Metro Area

For shopping in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, I have a few clothing and lingerie stores that are CD/TG friendly to suggest in addition to the department stores like Macy’s, Nordstrom Rack, and DSW.

  1. Lotus Blooms in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia
  2. Torrid (Clarksburg, Maryland; Columbia, Maryland; Springfield, Virginia)
  3. Soma (Bethesda, Maryland; Tyson’s Corner, Virginia; Springfield, Virginia; Columbia, Maryland)
  4. Belle Mode Intimates in Fairfax, Virginia
  5. Lane Bryant (Kingstowne in Alexandria, Virginia; Columbia, Maryland; other locations)

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.

Amazon Shopping

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.

  1. Awesome, Theresa! I recently found that using a regular bra over a pocket-bra can give incredible lift and a push-up effect without the problems of using a regular bra solo. So cool!

  2. I just got the size 8 breast forms — and they’re wonderful. With a tight pocket bra they give just the right amount of bounce. The price is terrific!
