Any ideas to find trans friendly clothing stores near me? Live in a fairly conservative place but don’t really have access to online shopping. Idk, just want to actually try a dress on somewhere.

    I started with fetish stores as they are used to it, and they always have good help for some reason.

    Now I take a friend with me to try out new places. I’ve once had an angry looking lady so that’s pretty clear, but most of the time employees were vocal supporters.

    Also conservative area.

      So, by fetish store, is this like a “lingerie store” or what? What’s it called?

        Sorry I didn’t get a notification. Here’s an example. It’s for buying outfits for sex clubs or for at home, but as I mentioned they often also have more normal stuff.

        That’d be the stores which sell personal lubricants, sex toys, and clothes for any local strippers or social media models in your area. Naturally they’re a great place to find some out till dawn outfits and dangerous heels. Just don’t expect that you and a friend will be allowed into the changing room together!

          Oh! Ok so basically just an Adam Eve or whatever type of place? Or the back half of Spencer’s 😅

      That’s a good call, and I know there’s one next to the biggest queer bar in the province.

        They often have stuff that’s not too crazy, like a nightdress and stockings.

          No totally but a place kinda guaranted to be more friendly is a really good call, especially for a first step.
