Beth's Shopping Tips

 Update

As I've been dragging the Net {if you'll excuse the expression *giggle*}, I've been looking for other sites which suggest places for a girl to go shopping. If you have a site with shopping ideas or if you own a crossdresser-friendly store with a web site, I'd love to add you. Please send me a fe-mail or leave a message in Beth's Guestbook.



Personal Home Pages:

Janet's Hide-a-Way - a great site owned by a lovely lady. It includes suggestions on where to shop and eat in Houston.

Australian Good Tranny guide - a great guide to places to go Downunder. Lots of other interesting information.

Lisa Dee's Closet -- Lots of suggestions on where to shop if you are in the Detroit Area.

Suzanne's Salon No shopping suggestions but Suzanne has put together a fabulous guide to sizes. If you are not sure what size bra, dress, skirt, etc. you wear, this should be your next stop.

Las Vegas Transgender Web -- with your hostess, Barbara Lynn. The *complete* girl's guide to Las Vegas. Places to eat, drink and, of course, shop! Before your next trip to check out the slot machines, check this page out.

Mindy's CD Page --  Where to shop in Vegas, along with tips and humor.  A great personal page by a very lovely lady! 

Renee Reyes -- a beautiful girl with suggestions on where to shop in Atlanta.  Also some very frank advice and tips for the T-girl.

If you have a Home Page with stores you recommend, please let me know and I'll add a link to you here.



Support Group Pages:

Bay Area Shopping and Services - a great list of CD/TV/TG friendly places in the San Francisco Area. I'm not real sure who put this together, but their main page includes links to other California support groups.

Central Florida Crossdresser Group -- has a very nice site. Their resource page has quite a few CD/TV/TG friendly businesses listed {shops, night clubs, etc. Even Real estate agents!}

Neutral Corner, San Diego, CA -- a support group located in San Diego. Has a nice list of resources including wigs, makeup, electrolesis, bookstores, counselors and attorneys. Also a nice list of nightclubs and other TG friendly places.

sissySearch.com -- Finally, a search engine just for us.  Search for shopping, information and just about anything else your heart desires.  Affiliated with the House of Sissify.  If you haven't got your own anonymous fe'mail yet, you can sign up here for yourname@sissify.com.



Commercial Pages:

The Dressing Room -- Clinton Township, MI. {I think it's near Detroit, but I'm a Western States kind of girl and I'm not sure.}

Studio Lights -- Denver, Co. When I lived in Denver, I only bought a pair of panties now and again. Now that I know about this place, I'll be stopping in the next time I'm back.

Sally Ann's Corset Shop Chicago, IL -- I'd love to go shopping here. See Robin's description on the lingerie page.

Jewel's -- Located in Houston, TX. Offers clothes, transformation and more. If I ever get to Houston, this will be my first stop.

Take a Walk on the Wildside, Toronto, Canada - I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to visit Toronto. This seems like a good reason to go.

Showstopper Wigs -- See Wynn's comments on the Wigs page.

The Hidden Woman -- A wig and transformation shop in Reno. See the comments on the Wigs page. 

World of Wigs -- A wig company located in Santa Ana, CA. See the comments on the Wigs page. 

Fringe Culture -- Hair, wigs, makeup and more in Saratoga, CA. See the comments on the Wigs page.

Elegant Trash -- According to their site, this is the place to go in Atlanta for all your crossdressing and fetish wear needs. 

Stomps and Threads -- High heeled shoes and sexy dresses. What more could a girl want? Plus, they have *great* prices on hosiery. If you can't make it to the store, they'll do mail order.

Secret's Boutique-- See Amy's comments on the Lingerie page. Plus, I *love* their internet address -- www.drag-queen.com.  Update -- I got a fe-mail from Stacy, the owner of the shop, who tells me that they also have a site at www.cross-dress.com.  Don't you just love these addresses?

10 Plus Ladies Shoes -- See Natalie's comments on the Shoes page.  They seem like a friendly store, and I'm sure the web page is just as friendly.

Statuesque -- Great shoes in sizes 9 1/2 to 14.  See Shana's comments on the Shoes page.

Lindsay's Lace -- A great site full of lovely lingerie, toys and more.  See Dottie's comments on the lingerie page.

Piedmont Boutique -- See Natalie's comments on the Dresses page.  If you can't make it to SF to shop in person, check out their web site.



On-line Shopping
I'd like to keep this site mostly devoted to shops that a girl {of any sex *giggle*) can just walk into and buy a few things, but every now and then, I run into an on-line store that looks worth checking into.

Ron's Rhinestones -- has a nice selection of jewelry to go with that perfect gown you just bought. {Why don't you tell the rest of us where you bought it?} Also has a lot of CD/TV/TG links.

Wig Outlet -- Good selection and you can enter to win a free wig given away every month.

The Glamorous Woman -- A site created with the TG market in mind. They feature a collection of fashion accessories including plus size jewelry, handbags, gloves and more.

Marlene Klein -- This is an "internet brand" cosmetics line. Visitors to the site are encouraged to e-mail the owner with questions about appropriate colors, application techniques, or any other concerns that they may have. You can also post questions or comments to the "Beauty Talk" forum. 

Lola, Inc. -- They carry carry breast forms, lingerie, wigs, makeup, jewelry and more. Plus, they feature TG models in their print catalog!

Sexy Shoes -- Every girl's favorite, at least judging by the fe-mails I get.

Emmanuele Lingerie -- The owner and I have exchanged several fe-mails, and I found her to be a delightful person. And, she designs the most beautiful silk lingerie. {I *love* silk lingerie!} I don't think you'll be disappointed with her or her products. 

Naughty by Nature Fashions -- What I like best about this site is that all the pictures in the Ladies and Mens Costume Section seem to be all Ladies Costumes. 

No Shame -- Their motto is no clerks, no smirks. Lingerie, makeup and more.

Tamara's Tresses -- Tami left a note in my guestbook about her site. It got mixed up with a different note, but she later sent a fe-mail saying that she spends five to six hours a day consulting with her customers. A neat thing about this site is that Tami uses a lot of TG models.

ebay.com -- The biggest auction site on the net. Actually, I wouldn't have thought of this until I got a fe-mail from Kathi who said that she just got a pretty pink angora mini skirt for $3.99. With prices like that, it's worth checking out. I took a quick look and found about a thousand bra and panty sets up for sale.

Mylady's Mirror -- The owner is the daughter of a CD, and she does makeovers for members of the Chesapeake chapter of Tri-Ess. Many of her products and services including breast forms, wigs, make-up kits and accessories are now avilable through her site.

Transformation  -- They are located in England and specialize in changing men into sexy women and carry products covering the whole TV and TS range.

Shoes and Stockings -- and a lot more.  Also located in England, they have sexy shoes, stockings and lingerie all at great prices.  Not to mention books, wigs and other clothing.

Lingerie-Shopping.com  -- an online boutique for lingerie shopping.  They carry very pretty teddies and bridal quality satin sheets.  And, they offer an affiliate program for webmistresses where you will receive a 15% referral fee if anyone buys from your site.

Meryl --  Can't find the outfit you're looking for anywhere?  Then let Meryl make if for you!  She's an expert dressmaker who can sew anything you can dream up.  Check the pictures on her site.  She also has a page showing how men should measure themselves so she can get your dress to fit perfectly.  As soon as I get enough extra money, I want a bridal  gown and a cheerleader outfit and....well everything!

Especially For Me Boutique -- I've exchanged several e-mails with the shop owners and just love this site.  Lots of sexy lingerie, leather dresses, and shoes.  The owners tell me that they have worked with the TG community for over 15 years and have TG and GG consultants to help you pick out some pretties.  Plus, their line of Mastectomy Lingerie is perfect if you wear breast forms.

SoHo Shoe Salon -- I got a fe'mail form the owner who said they are a new webstore carrying the latest, hippest, fashion forward women's shoes in large sizes. They will soon carry Italian designer shoes up to size 14.   I took a look at the site and fell in love!  If anyone wants to get me a Christmas present, I'll take the Jacqui style in a size 12.

No Regrets Lingerie -- an Australian based online lingerie shop with some very cute items.

Mederi -- Offers make up kits complete with step by step instructions.  You can also sign up for a monthly tips newsletter.

The Enchanted Room -- A site specializing in gorgeous plus size lingerie for the big, beautiful lady.  A great selection of some very sexy styles.  I particulary loved the leather page.  Also, the owner is just a very nice lady with a great motto: Live, Love, Laugh.

Femme Phallique --  They expect to be open for business around the end of July.  They are importing the finest silks and laces (ah, two of my favorite things *giggle*) into Scotland (as they say, that country where men in skirts doesn't carry any kind of stigma) and transforming them into design classics for discerning men.  I am really looking forward to seeing their first collection!

How Cool Footwear -- The pages take forever to load because they have 500 styles in sizes up to 14 for some styles.  They also carry clubwear and lingerie.  Definitely worth a look.

Apres Noir's Xdress.com -- They have a selection of lingerie, including bras, panties, corsets, functional and fun wear designed and manufactured just to fit men.

If you have a crossdresser-friendly store, I'd love to add you to this page.  Just let me know where to find you.



Girlfriends

 Since I've had this site up, I've heard from many girlfriends. Some of them have their own sites up which I *love* to visit. You should stop in and take a look around at what these ladies have done.

Marianne's World -- Mostly Danish, with some very heartfelt English translations. A lovely site run by a lovely girl.

Brandi's Getaway -- A very sweet girl. Stop in and say hello. 

Sassi Anne Johnson --  A beautiful site with lovely pictures and a great collection of links.  Be sure to stop in and have a look around.
