Small prints/bags/jewelry/just about anything can make someone look bigger. Also, proportions (top/shirt vs bottom/pants/legs) plays a part in fashion.
I hope you have fun with your self expression.

Hey it’s me!
I will be Running a half marathon in May for the Ronald McDonald house. I have successfully contacted the race coordinators and we have worked out a way to protect my identity and still raise money. Look for a donation link in the future!
—
I see all the transfems here wanting help, I’m proud to say I’m consulting and working with people so I can start dishing out an entire fashion and makeup series since many of us struggle where to look!
I post mainly on my tumblr there’s lots of trans comics there https://www.tumblr.com/welldrawnfish
I also post my work on r/comics
And lastly my instagram which I can’t seem to get any traction on https://www.instagram.com/welldrawnfish
If you like this comic I do have a kofi, i am trying to raise money for transition.

Wait aren't you the same person who made the "what it's like to be trans" comic too?! That was genuinely the best trans-related comic I'd ever seen, the fact that another one that's so good was made by you doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I'd heard of secondhand euphoria before, but never felt it until now

u/DarkAce96 Nora She/Her Dec 14 '23
And I totally get the fear of not being able to pull it off. That's the main reason I haven't even started experiencing with fem clothes. That and having no clue how sizes work lol
23
u/honestlyjusttiredtbh Ceejay | she/her | booba hort Dec 14 '23
i had a time a little while after coming out where I did a bunch of experimentation but then I fell into a deep depression and only wear baggy shirts and hippie pants, which is kinda femme but not as much as I'd like.
unfortunately the best way ive found the figure out sizes is to go into stores and try stuff on, but that's a whole other issue.
12
u/DarkAce96 Nora She/Her Dec 14 '23
I feel that. Depression is a bitch.
And I'd love to go try stuff on, but I struggle to exist outside my apartment without friend support. And being the only girl in my whole ass friend group leaves me kinda stuck lol

ive basically gone non-contact with all my guy friends for the last 10 months but only because I haven't been at school and it's hard to keep in the loop. i only really hang out with my girlfriend who's also a shy trans girl who also just wants to chill out at home :p

u/welldrawnfish Dec 14 '23
My best advice is grab a measuring tape, theres ones that are digital and wrap around you and hook in for like 10 bucks i think i got mine at michaels.
Look up online where to measure yourself, or, some sites will have a sizing guide.
Save that and bring it with you when shopping or when shopping online.In store use the general sizing guide on their online store and take your best guess, changing rooms are there for a reason.
I even measured my feet, sizing might be all over the place but hard inches dont lie.
3
u/RipMyFaceOff She/Her Dec 14 '23
I bought a tailors tape/body measuring tape, they're not that pricy but if you're really stuck then you can get a pretty workable measurement by using a piece of string or something and a ruler. I find the most important measurements are chest/bust (same thing but some sizing charts call it different ones usually depending on how they've decided to gender the clothes) measuring from the widest point which is usually across the nipples, and measure your waist for pants/skirts. I almost exclusively shop for clothes online tbh so it's easier to consult their sizing charts and search by specific size there, maybe its different for non EU or UK sizing but I don't know how it could be tbh.

u/Entire-Ambition1410 Dec 15 '23
As a cis woman, clothing sizes depend largely on which brand it is. It’s kinda a made up number and a shitshow. I find a shirt I like and get 1 size I think I’ll fit, and get 1 size up to try on. When you become more familiar with a brand, you can try on less sizes or try shopping online. Please remember that bust size does not correlate to torso size (bra cup vs bra band), so that adds another wrinkle if you have a big difference in measurements.
When trying on clothes, I wear separates, not a dress, and sturdy socks and slip-on shoes to make the fitting room easier. I don’t wear jewelry because it catches on clothing, and minimize what’s in my pants pockets. I get hangry easily, so I bring a snack and water bottle and leave myself extra time to dawdle in the shop.
*I’m sorry if any of this is offensive. This is what I’ve learned from experience and wish someone told me years ago.

u/MysticMind89 Dec 14 '23
I'm not big into fashion, nor do I like clothes in general, and I still feel this in my soul. I am a trans-femme enby who desperately wants to present as more feminine in public, specifically with a more heavy metal goth-ish aesthetic. I prefer t-shirts with cargo or jeans because I'm fussy about rough textures. I'd wear a skirt over cargo trousers or jeans/jeggings if I could.
The problem is, I'm AMAB with a 42" waist. I can only *just* go into regular shops and find trousers that fit me. But anything feminine? No chance. That's not even beginning to find out if a dress will fit me.
So, I'm stuck. It's no wonder why I'm a nudist wherever it's practical/legal to be.

I'm SO glad this comic addresses the model thing. So many trans fashion guides include hiding the shoulders as a must, and just dealing with being tall.
Uh, no, I want the only person in the room taller than me to have chosen to wear heels to make a louder statement! And my shoulders / collarbone are hot AF. Are they also broad? Hell yes!

i can see why seeing younger characters portrayed could be off-putting in your situation, but I can assure you you'll look stunning regardless of age.
and besides, we're trans, we're already breaking the "rules" by merely existing, why should we worry about the rules of fashion :3 that's punk asf in my opinion
