Crossdressing What cloths size am I

We have developed the what cloths size an I guide as it is one of the most asked questions we get. Some clothing ranges are in UK size others is continental sizes and even just plain small medium and large sizes. Where garments are made and what they are made from can have a significant bearing so yes confusion reigns!

We have put together this what cloths size am I guide which should take the majority of the mystery away, if you have any questions just hit the button below:

How To Measure And Select The Correct Size

Women often refer to three key body measurements when selecting clothing: chest (bust), waist and hips. For this guide we will initially concentrate on chest and waist measurements only, as these provide the foundation for selecting your starting dress size. Hip considerations will be covered separately in the Considerations Section.

Step 1 – Measure Your Chest

Measure around your chest at the fullest point without breast forms fitted. This should be your natural, flat chest measurement. Record this measurement.

Step 2 – Measure Your Waist

Measure your normal male waist size at the position shown in the guide image. Record this measurement.

Step 3 – Use The Size Guide

You can now compare your measurements against the chart and select the nearest size as a starting point.

Please remember that this guide should be treated as an indication only. Whilst chest and waist measurements are very useful, selecting clothing for crossdressers often requires additional consideration.

What Cloths Size Am I – Understanding the challenge

One of the challenges when selecting dresses is that many males naturally have an inverted triangle body shape, meaning broader shoulders and chest measurements compared to hip measurements.

This often results in people not fitting perfectly into a single standard clothing size.

For example:

Chest measurement: 38″ → approximately UK14 Waist measurement: 32″ → approximately UK12

In this example you technically fall between two sizes, so what should you do?

Option 1 – Choose Separates

Many clients find that purchasing separate tops and skirts provides greater flexibility and often produces a better fit.

For example:

UK14 top UK12 skirt

This approach allows each area of the body to be fitted independently.

Option 2 – Size For The Chest

When purchasing dresses, it is generally advisable to select a dress size that accommodates your chest and shoulder measurements first, as these areas are often more difficult to alter. The hip area can then be enhanced using:

* Hip pads
* Shapewear
* Padded briefs
* Clothing styles designed to create curves

This approach frequently creates a much more balanced and feminine silhouette.

Considerations

What cloths size am I – Important Considerations

Whilst size charts provide an excellent starting point, experience has taught us that selecting clothing for crossdressers often involves additional considerations beyond simply matching chest and waist measurements.

Breast form Size And Dress Selection

One of the most important factors to consider is breast form size.

Through experience, we have found that many clothing manufacturers appear to design dresses, tops and blouses around a fairly standard C cup bust shape. Whilst there is no universal rule, this often seems to be the “average” figure many garments are designed around.

If you are aiming for a fuller or more glamorous appearance using breast forms such as:

* D Cup
* DD Cup
* E Cup
* F Cup and above

this can have a significant impact on the clothing size that ultimately fits you comfortably.

You may find that whilst your chest measurement suggests one dress size, your chosen breast forms can require moving up by an additional size to allow the garment to sit naturally and comfortably.

Stretch Materials Can Help

Fortunately, many clothing manufacturers have recognised that body shapes vary considerably and have introduced fabrics designed to offer greater flexibility.

Look for garments containing Elastane (sometimes called Spandex or Lycra blends).

As a general guide:

* Garments containing 5% Elastane or more often provide enough flexibility to accommodate approximately one size variation.
* Stretch fabrics can improve comfort and frequently create a more flattering fit.
* Bodycon dresses and fitted tops commonly use these materials.

Always remember that fabric composition can make a surprisingly large difference.

Creating Natural Hip Shape And Body Balance

Another common consideration is hips.

Many males naturally have broader shoulders and narrower hips, creating an inverted triangle body shape. This means that whilst a dress may fit correctly around the chest and shoulders, it can sometimes lack the curves that create a balanced feminine silhouette.

Rather than simply selecting larger clothing sizes, many people achieve better results by adding shape where it is naturally required.

Popular options include:

* Silicone hip pads
* Hip and thigh padded garments
* Padded briefs
* Shapewear with built-in enhancement
* Combined hip and rear enhancement garments

These products help fill dresses, skirts and trousers more naturally whilst creating a smoother transition between waist and hips.

In many cases, adding hips rather than increasing clothing size produces a much more balanced and realistic overall appearance.

The Goal Is Balance Rather Than Size

One of the most common misconceptions is that selecting larger breast forms or larger clothing sizes automatically creates a more feminine appearance.

In reality, proportion is usually far more important than absolute size.

Balancing shoulders, waist, bust and hips together generally produces the most natural and flattering result.
