    I'm a transgender girl who hasn't transitioned yet, and I have no idea how I should go about fitting in a dress. I do not currently have breasts, so that is unhelpful (would a bra help that?). Does anyone know of a cute dress that might be able to fit? I'm a teenager if that helps. Thanks!
    P.S. I like red and blue :slight_smile:

    There should be dresses out there with smaller chest sizes - some of them can be quite flexible. Maybe try and find something with elastic around the waist? That tends to be quite flexible. Plus I just googled 'dresses small bust' and there seem to be a lot of articles and websites dedicated to that stuff. Another slightly limited option (it really depends on how tall you are and your age) could be the kids section of stores like Zara? I remember getting some lovely outfits there when I was younger, so if you're short enough it might work.

    In terms of using a bra, it's a possibility. Just make sure it doesn't look to unrealistic compared to your body and waist size, and make sure you get one that feels comfortable in the straps and the back as well as one that matches your desired cup size. Silicone inserts are probably the best to use in general for this.

    At 5'7 I don't think I'll fit in the kids section. Thanks for the advice!

    Yeah, at least ur a reasonable height. I'm 6'3" which makes things a bit more differcult, but I'm nowhere near out yet so it's not as big of an issue atm

    Look on the bright side: once you transition fully you'll be the envy of everyone and become the best supermodel ever. :slight_smile:
    I am so jealous - I'm 5'11'' which is tall for a girl but holy shit

    Lol, tru, but it also will make passing before full transition hard. Double edged sword.
