Your Crossdressing Service FAQs
During Your Transformation
What is included in the Dressing Service
The exact contents of your appointment will depend on the dressing service package you choose, however our aim is always to provide everything required for a complete and enjoyable transformation experience.
Makeover & Go Service
Our Makeover & Go package includes a full makeover using professional cosmetics, together with the application of false eyelashes where appropriate. This package is designed for clients who already have their own clothing, wig, and accessories, or who simply require assistance achieving a polished feminine appearance.
Whilst professional photography is not included within this package, we are always happy to take photographs using your own mobile phone or camera so that you have a lasting record of your transformation.
Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum Packages
Our Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum dressing service packages are designed to provide a complete transformation experience. We supply virtually everything required, including:
- Professional makeover using quality cosmetics
- False eyelashes where appropriate
- Wig fitting and styling
- Clothing in a wide range of styles and sizes
- Footwear
- Shapewear and foundation garments
- Jewellery and accessories
- Handbag and finishing touches
In short, if you arrive with nothing more than yourself, we can provide everything needed to create a complete feminine presentation.
That said, clients are always welcome and encouraged to bring along any personal items they would like to incorporate into their transformation. Many clients choose to bring their own shoes, favourite outfits, wigs, jewellery, or accessories, and we are happy to include these as part of the experience.
After Your Appointment
At the conclusion of all dressing service appointments (excluding the Makeover & Go package), we professionally remove all cosmetics, ensuring you leave feeling comfortable and refreshed before returning home.
If you are unsure which package is most suitable for your requirements, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss the options available and recommend the dressing service that best matches the experience you are looking for.
Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
Can I try on Different Wigs and Styles?
Absolutely. In fact, we actively encourage it.
We maintain an extensive collection of wigs in a wide variety of lengths, colours, styles, and shades, giving clients the opportunity to experiment and discover what truly suits them. Whether you are interested in a sophisticated bob, glamorous long locks, natural everyday styling, or something a little more adventurous, there is no need to limit yourself to a single look during your appointment.
Many clients arrive with a preconceived idea of the style or colour they think they want, only to discover that something completely different complements their facial features, complexion, and overall presentation far better. One of the greatest benefits of attending a dressing service is being able to compare different options in a relaxed and supportive environment before making any purchasing decisions.
We often remind clients that a quality wig can be one of the most significant investments they make as part of their feminine journey. By using your dressing service appointment to try a range of styles and shades, you can gain valuable confidence in your choices and avoid spending money on wigs that may ultimately prove unsuitable.
Our goal is to help you identify the styles, colours, and looks that make you feel your absolute best. Many clients leave their appointment with a much clearer understanding of exactly what type of wig they would like to purchase in the future, potentially saving both time and money.
So don’t be afraid to experiment. The dressing service is the perfect opportunity to explore different looks, discover new possibilities, and find the style that truly feels like you.
Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
What Sizes Do You Cater For?
One of the questions we are asked most frequently is whether we can accommodate different body shapes, clothing sizes, and shoe sizes. The answer is yes.
We have spent many years building a diverse collection of clothing, footwear, shapewear, wigs, and accessories to cater for a wide range of clients. Whilst it would be impossible to stock every style in every size, we work hard to ensure that most clients have plenty of options available during their transformation experience.
Footwear
Footwear is often one of the biggest challenges for crossdressers and transgender individuals, which is why it is one of our specialist areas.
As suppliers of the renowned Pleaser range of footwear, we maintain a substantial selection of feminine shoes and boots in a variety of styles and sizes. Our footwear collection typically ranges from a UK size 6 through to a UK size 13.
Whether you prefer elegant low heels, practical everyday styles, classic court shoes, glamorous high heels, or even more adventurous looks, we aim to offer something for everyone. Our collection includes everything from modest heel heights through to striking 6-inch heels, as well as a selection of stylish knee-high and thigh-high boots for those wishing to create a more dramatic look.
Clothing
Our clothing collection generally caters for clients from approximately UK size 10 through to UK size 24, with a wide selection of dresses, skirts, blouses, and other feminine garments available to try during your appointment.
We understand that every individual has different tastes and preferences, so we encourage clients to experiment with different styles and outfits to discover what works best for their body shape and personal aesthetic.
Breast Forms & Shapewear
To help create a balanced and feminine silhouette, we also offer a range of silicone breast forms in various shapes and sizes. Combined with suitable shapewear and foundation garments, these can make a significant difference to your overall presentation and help achieve the look you are hoping for.
Preparing For Your Visit
As part of the enquiry process, we ask clients to provide details such as their chest, waist, and shoe size. This allows us to prepare in advance and ensure we have suitable clothing, footwear, and accessories ready for your appointment.
Our goal is to make sure that when you arrive, you can focus on enjoying your transformation experience rather than worrying about whether something will fit. We take great pride in helping clients of many different shapes and sizes look and feel their absolute best.
Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
Can I bring my own cloths and shoes?
Absolutely! You’re more than welcome to bring any of your favourite items—whether it’s a special dress, a wig you feel confident in, or lingerie that means something to you. We understand that personal items can add comfort and familiarity to your transformation experience.
That said, we also have everything you might need readily available on-site: a wide selection of outfits, wigs, shoes, accessories, shapewear, and breast forms in various styles and sizes. Many clients arrive empty-handed and still leave feeling amazing. You’re free to mix and match your own pieces with ours, or simply rely on our collection to discover a look that’s new and exciting. The choice is completely yours.
Our goal is to ensure you feel confident, relaxed, and fully supported—whether you’re stepping into your feminine self for the first time or refining a look you’ve loved for years.
Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
What Makeup do you use & How do you remove it?
We believe that achieving a beautiful and convincing feminine appearance starts with using high-quality products. For this reason, we primarily use professional cosmetics from Kryolan and MAC, two of the most respected names within the beauty and theatrical makeup industries.
Our makeovers are individually tailored to each client, taking into account factors such as skin tone, facial features, desired style, and level of experience. Whether you are looking for a natural daytime appearance, elegant sophistication, or a more glamorous evening look, we use professional techniques and products to help achieve the result you are seeking.
We also use high-quality false eyelashes as part of many transformations, helping to enhance the eyes and complete the overall feminine presentation. As a small keepsake from your experience, clients are welcome to take their eyelashes home with them following their appointment.
To ensure our skills remain current and up to date, Sophie regularly attends professional training courses with Kryolan and is a qualified Dermacolor Specialist. This specialist knowledge is particularly valuable when working with beard coverage, skin tone correction, and creating a smooth, flawless foundation finish.
Professional Makeup Removal
Just as important as applying makeup correctly is removing it properly.
At the end of your dressing service appointment, we use professional Kryolan makeup removal products specifically designed to break down and remove even heavy foundations, colour correction products, powders, and long-lasting cosmetics. These products are extremely effective whilst remaining gentle on the skin.
Before you leave, we ensure that all traces of makeup have been thoroughly removed, allowing you to return home feeling comfortable, refreshed, and completely makeup-free. We consider this an important part of the overall service and take great care to ensure the process is completed properly.
Many clients are surprised by how effective professional cosmetic removal products can be, often removing every trace of foundation and makeup far more easily than standard high-street alternatives.

Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
How Long Are The Dressing Service Sessions
Most transformation appointments typically last between 2 and 6 hours, allowing plenty of time for dressing, styling, wig selection, makeup application, photography, and simply relaxing and enjoying your feminine presentation in a comfortable and supportive environment.
For clients seeking a more comprehensive experience, longer sessions and full-day appointments may also be available. Many first-time visitors find that a longer appointment allows them to fully relax, build confidence, experiment with different looks, and make the most of their transformation experience. The most popular package is our silver package which is a three hours session.
We never rush appointments. Our goal is to ensure you have sufficient time to enjoy every aspect of your dressing service, whether you are exploring femininity for the first time or are an experienced crossdresser looking for a complete makeover experience.
If you are unsure how much time you may need, simply discuss your requirements when making your enquiry and we will be happy to recommend the most suitable appointment length for your needs.
Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
What Are Your Opening Hours
We understand that arranging a dressing or transformation appointment is often not as simple as booking a standard beauty treatment. Many of our clients have work commitments, family responsibilities, travel considerations, or simply a very limited window of opportunity in which they can attend.
For this reason, we do not operate rigid opening hours in the traditional sense. Instead, we aim to offer appointments seven days a week and will always do our very best to accommodate your preferred date and time whenever reasonably possible.
Whether you are looking for a weekday appointment, an evening transformation, or a weekend dressing experience, we appreciate that flexibility is often essential. Our goal is to make the process as convenient and stress-free as possible, particularly for those visiting for the first time.
Every enquiry is considered individually, and we are happy to discuss appointment times that work around your personal circumstances. If you have specific requirements or availability restrictions, simply let us know when making your enquiry and we will do everything we can to find a suitable solution.
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy their transformation experience, which is why flexibility and client convenience remain at the heart of our service.
Crossdressing Service FAQs (updated June 2026)
What Payment Methods Do You Accept?
We accept payment by cash, PayPal, or bank transfer, allowing you to choose whichever option is most convenient and comfortable for you.
We understand that many of our clients value privacy and discretion. Whilst electronic payment methods such as PayPal and bank transfer are perfectly acceptable, we also appreciate that not everyone feels comfortable using these options. Some clients may share bank accounts, have partners who review financial statements, or simply prefer not to leave an electronic record relating to their dressing or transformation experience.
For this reason, we are always happy to accept cash payments and there is absolutely no requirement to use a digital payment method if you would prefer not to.
Our priority is ensuring that every aspect of your experience feels comfortable, confidential, and stress-free from the moment you make your enquiry through to the completion of your appointment. If you have any questions regarding payment arrangements, please feel free to discuss them with us when booking.

Privacy &Confidentiality
Is my Privacy and Confidentiality Guaranteed?
Absolutely.
We understand that privacy and confidentiality are among the most important considerations for many of our clients. For some, attending a dressing service appointment is something they have wanted to do for many years and may never have shared with anyone else. Others may have concerns about family members, partners, friends, work colleagues, or simply wish to keep this aspect of their life private.
Whatever your circumstances, you can be assured that discretion and confidentiality are fundamental to the way we operate.
All appointments are conducted on a strictly private basis, and we never discuss clients, their appointments, or any personal information with third parties. Information provided during the enquiry and booking process is used solely for the purpose of arranging and delivering your dressing service experience.
Many clients arrive feeling understandably nervous, particularly if it is their first transformation experience. You can relax knowing that you will be treated with respect, understanding, and complete discretion throughout your visit.
Are Photographs Kept Private?
Yes, absolutely.
Any photographs taken during your dressing service appointment are treated as private and confidential. We fully understand that many clients wish to keep their transformation experience personal, and we respect that completely.
The photographs we take are provided for your enjoyment and personal memories, and they will never be published, shared, or displayed without your explicit permission.
That said, some clients feel proud of their transformation and are happy to share selected images with others. When this happens, we are always delighted to feature those photographs within our gallery, as they can provide inspiration, reassurance, and encouragement to others who may be considering their own dressing service experience.
Many first-time visitors are understandably nervous and uncertain about what to expect. Seeing real client transformations can often help build confidence and demonstrate what is possible within a supportive and professional environment.
However, the decision is always entirely yours.
We only use photographs where the client has given their clear and express permission. If you choose not to share your images, they remain private. If you choose to share only certain photographs, we will respect those wishes. You remain in complete control of how your images are used.
Our philosophy is simple: your photographs belong to you, and your privacy will always come first.
Can I remain Anonymous?
Yes, absolutely.
We understand that not everyone is at the same stage of their journey, and for many clients anonymity is extremely important. Some clients are taking their very first steps into dressing and transformation, whilst others simply prefer to keep this aspect of their life private.
You are under no obligation to publicly identify yourself, share personal details beyond those required to arrange your appointment, or have your photographs published in any way.
Many of our clients choose to remain completely anonymous, and we fully respect that decision.
If photographs are taken during your appointment, they can remain entirely private for your own personal use. There is never any expectation or pressure to share images publicly, appear on our website, or feature within our client gallery.
For those clients who would like to share their transformation but still maintain a degree of privacy, there are also options available. Photographs can often be selected or cropped to avoid revealing identifying features, and we are always happy to discuss any concerns you may have regarding privacy and image use.
Our dressing service is about helping you feel comfortable, confident, and able to express yourself in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you wish to celebrate your transformation publicly or keep it entirely private, the choice is always yours.
Many of our clients have visited us over the years precisely because they know they can do so with complete discretion, understanding, and respect for their privacy.
Your journey is personal, and how much you choose to share is entirely up to you.
Will anyone else know I've Visited?
No. Your appointment is conducted on a private, one-to-one basis.
We understand that many clients value discretion and may have concerns about who they will meet or whether other people will be present during their transformation experience. For this reason, appointments are arranged to provide a comfortable, relaxed, and confidential environment.
Your dressing service will primarily be a one-to-one appointment with Sophie/Andrew, allowing you to receive personalised attention, guidance, and support throughout your visit.
Krista is often available and may be present at times, particularly when assisting with the day-to-day running of the business. However, appointments are not group events, and you will not be expected to dress or transform in front of other clients.
Many first-time visitors are understandably nervous, but they are often surprised by how quickly they relax once they realise the appointment is conducted in a friendly, professional, and welcoming environment.
We treat every client with the utmost respect and discretion. We do not discuss client visits with others, and your attendance remains entirely confidential.
For many clients, one of the greatest benefits of a professional dressing service is having the opportunity to explore and express their feminine side in a safe, supportive, and private setting without fear of judgement or unwanted attention.
Your appointment is your time, your experience, and your privacy will always be respected.
Going Out & Public Experience’s
Can we go shopping together?
Yes, absolutely.
For many clients, one of the most exciting aspects of their feminine journey is having the opportunity to shop confidently in public whilst presenting as their authentic self. We are happy to accompany clients on shopping trips as part of their dressing service experience, helping to provide reassurance, confidence, and support along the way.
Shopping excursions are generally available as part of our Silver and Platinum dressing service packages, as these appointments provide sufficient time to complete your transformation and enjoy time out in public without feeling rushed.
If shopping is something you would like to include during your appointment, it is important that you let us know at the enquiry stage. This allows Sophie to plan the day appropriately and make any necessary preparations before your arrival to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Many clients find that having an experienced companion alongside them can make a tremendous difference to their confidence, particularly if it is their first time shopping whilst dressed. Whether you would like to browse clothing stores, look for footwear, purchase cosmetics, or simply enjoy the experience of shopping as your feminine self, we will do our best to make the experience enjoyable and relaxed.
There is absolutely no pressure to make purchases. For some clients, simply walking around the shops, browsing displays, and becoming comfortable in public is a significant and rewarding achievement in itself.
If a shopping trip is something you would like to experience, please mention it when making your enquiry so we can ensure the most suitable package and appointment arrangements are made for your visit.
We have several client inspired videos on our sister Youtube channel such as a visit to London With Sue
Can we go for coffee or a meal?
Yes, we certainly can.
For many clients, one of the most enjoyable aspects of their dressing service experience is having the opportunity to spend time out in public whilst fully transformed. A visit to a café, coffee shop, or restaurant can be a wonderful way to relax, build confidence, and experience everyday life in a feminine role.
These outings are generally available as part of our Silver and Platinum dressing service packages, as they provide sufficient time for your makeover, photography, and any time spent away from the dressing studio.
Many clients find that enjoying a simple coffee and conversation is an excellent way to take those first steps into the outside world. Others may prefer to enjoy lunch or an evening meal as part of their day. Whatever your preference, we will do our best to make the experience relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable.
If you would like to include a coffee stop or meal as part of your appointment, please mention this when making your enquiry. This allows Sophie to plan the day accordingly and ensure sufficient time is available within your chosen package.
Please note that any food, drinks, restaurant bills, admission charges, parking fees, or other expenses incurred during the outing remain the responsibility of the client and are not included within the dressing service package price.
There is never any pressure to do more than you feel comfortable with. Some clients are happy to spend several hours out and about, whilst others simply enjoy a quick coffee before returning. The experience is always tailored to your confidence level, preferences, and individual goals.
Our aim is to provide a supportive and enjoyable environment where you can relax, build confidence, and make the most of your transformation experience.
Can we go to other venues?
In many cases, yes.
Whilst shopping trips, cafés, and restaurants are among the most popular choices, we understand that every client has different goals and aspirations for their dressing service experience. Some clients may wish to visit other venues or locations as part of their day, and wherever possible we will do our best to accommodate these requests.
Over the years, clients have expressed interest in a variety of outings, ranging from sightseeing and photography locations through to attractions, events, and social venues. The suitability of any outing will depend on factors such as the location, the time available within your chosen package, travel requirements, and your own confidence and experience levels.
If there is a specific venue or activity you would like to include as part of your appointment, we strongly recommend discussing this during the enquiry stage. This allows us to assess what is practical and ensure that sufficient time is available to make the most of your experience.
As a general rule, outings beyond a simple shopping trip or coffee stop are usually best suited to our Platinum dressing service package, where there is greater flexibility and time available.
Please note that any admission fees, parking charges, travel costs, refreshments, or other expenses associated with the outing are the responsibility of the client and are not included within the package price.
Our philosophy is simple: if there is something you have always wanted to do whilst dressed, tell us about it. We will always try our very best to help make it happen, provided it is practical, safe, and can be accommodated within the time available.
For many clients, fulfilling a long-held ambition or ticking something off their personal “bucket list” can become one of the most memorable parts of their transformation experience.
What if I feel nervous about going out?
Firstly, please don’t worry – feeling nervous is completely normal.
In fact, almost every client who considers a public outing tells us they are feeling anxious, apprehensive, or lacking confidence beforehand. Whether it is your first time presenting in public, your first time wearing a wig and makeup outside the dressing studio, or simply stepping beyond your comfort zone, those feelings are entirely understandable.
The good news is that nerves are usually at their worst before you go out.
Many clients spend days or even weeks worrying about how they will feel, only to discover that once they have taken those first few steps outside, their confidence grows remarkably quickly. It is often the anticipation that is far more daunting than the reality.
There is never any pressure to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. If you have arranged a shopping trip, coffee stop, or meal and decide on the day that you would rather not proceed, that is perfectly fine. Equally, some clients initially plan a brief outing and then find themselves enjoying the experience so much that they wish to stay out longer.
We will always work at your pace and within your comfort zone.
For some clients, simply standing outside for a few minutes, taking a short walk, or sitting in a café for a coffee is a significant achievement. Others quickly discover they are far more confident than they expected. Every journey is different, and there is no right or wrong way to approach it.
One of the benefits of attending a dressing service is that you are not facing these experiences alone. Sophie will be there to provide reassurance, guidance, and support throughout the outing, helping you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Remember, confidence is not something you have before you go out – it is often something you gain because you went out.
Many clients tell us that taking that first step was one of the best decisions they ever made and that the experience was far less intimidating than they had imagined.
The important thing is that the choice is always yours. We will encourage and support you, but we will never pressure you into doing anything that you are not ready for.
