Well At first I would shop with my GG friend and that was cool because we both wear the same size in cloths and shoes, how fun is that! I have also started going by myself in guy mode and I doesn't even matter to the sales ladies, I guess a sales is a sale. I have also discouvered thrift stores and I have found some wonderful pieces there and no questios asked.

I prefer shopping fully dressed along with a GGfriend (usually my older sister or my best friend Fiona) as I know from experience that skirt/dress sizes are not standardised no matter what it says on the label Plus I love using the womens changing rooms and of course enjoying the day out as woman.
I very much prefer Shopping en femme , and using the changing rooms to make sure its right now . I am not 24/7 yet but am transitioning . , In the past I would have shopped in Guy mode and it just didnt feel right . One exception was when I went into a UK shop Long Tall Sally , specialists for tall women . I picked out a dress and the lady to my surprise said "do you want to try it on " I said yes . . What I particularly like now is finding those lovely shops where the staff are really helpful rather than being the sales are sales as shirley aptly puts it . Its really nice when someone helps you and I dont mind going back to those shops..
Michelle, since here is NO More ofmy former self , I go as Ellen , to the Grocery store , the auto parts store , the department store , etc........ ellen

I would prefer in girl mode but haven't the nerve. Shopping is shopping though and a rush. I take dresses into the womans and no one bats an eye.
I usually buy either online or in male mode - only tried on in a couple of shops and none of them were mainstream - may have to go to the ladies changing areas with a dress next time i am buying
One thing I have learned is that everyone in the stores are on a mission and are so involved in there own shopping that they don't even notice other people especially in the grocery stores. I have also found the department stores are the same. So I guess like all the rest of the women in stores, I AM ON A MISSION, LOL
Generally I prefer shopping while I'm dressed as a girl and with a girlfriend. Going together is more fun....
But, nothing beats the look on a sales persons face when I am dressed as a male and in a womens store and ask to try something on *wciked grin*.
Most of the time, I choose to shop online. I work from home so any mail or packages are delivered to me. When I came out the first time back in the late 90's, I had things shipped to my PO Box. I was a regular at Silhouettes. I think they are out of business now. Mostly I buy from Amazon. If I buy from other vendors, they would start sending catalogs to me. Hate to explain that if my wife actually went and got the mail one day. There have been a few close calls when a vendor sent a catalog to Emma. How the heck they got my new address I will never know.
Most of the clothes I have now are my wife's old big girl clothes. Her skirts and a few tops fit. She won't be wearing them anytime soon as she lost all the weight with the stomach surgery. My only problem is lack of cash. Until I get out from under that $2k a month of child support, I don't have much for expendable cash.
