My CD Journey (Part 14) - My Short Walk of Fame [My first Dress Out Experience]

Supposed to post this blog before the end of last year and now is already the 2nd month into 2022. I do apologise for the lack of update as I am quite busy with work and finally managed to squeeze some time to work on this… I was working on this post halfway before I got suck into work and busyness… Anyway, here goes…

I have achieved yet another milestone for Francesca… I finally stepped out of my closet and into the public… Well, for 15 minutes or so… Even though It was just a short moment but it was quite an experience and I learned a lot that day around dressing out… Going to share my first dress out experience. Hopefully I can inspire others to do it also. 

Before going into the details, I have to set the context that ended with me dressing out for the first time. Around the start of December 2021, my CD idol W, messaged me to arrange for another meetup session at my lair on 26th December, which is just one day after Christmas. I thought it was an excellent idea as I can organise a mini X’mas celebration with another CrossDresser. Quite a refreshing idea, so I reserved the date and set everything in motion. Luckily this time round, I have gotten the essential sorted out during the last meet-up, so I do not need to get anything such as a proper chair or cutleries. 

In order to celebrate this festive season, I gotten a log cake beforehand and had apportion some for my personal consumption at home to avoid suspicion from my wife. I claimed that I am meeting up with a group of friends to celebrate Christmas, so I got the log cake for them. 

On the day of the meet-up, I brought the log cake and went straight to my lair and kept it in the refrigerator outside my unit. This time round, luckily there is no hiccups or sudden visit by my “neighbours”, so I can CD in peace. We arranged to meet around 3:30pm and I arrived at my lair much earlier, so I got more time to get myself ready for the meet-up.

Everything went quite well that day as I was not stressed out by the presence of my “neighbour” like the other time, my commercial unit was quite quiet for a Sunday afternoon, which I find it rather conducive for me to dress up. W was a bit late that day but she was so fast to get herself ready for the meetup.

Much like the other time, I waited patiently for W’s arrival, it was much easier to coordinate as she had already visited my lair before. So when W arrived, I just bring in the log cake from the refrigerator and we proceed to have our “high-tea” session in my lair. I was helping W with some photoshoots by setting up the lights while she did a fashion change by pairing different clothing and hosiery to match the festive mood. I must say, W has a good collection of clothing and hosiery.

After all that, we both sat down and chatted and W proposed that we should try going out into the public. I was quite reluctant initially but seeing how W is such a sport and considering that it was a Sunday and the area of my commercial unit area is quite deserted, I decided to step out… For this once… As I head out with W, my heart was at my mouth as it is pounding so hard. I was really nervous as I was scare that my big build will give me away as a CrossDresser. However, W assured that there was no one around and it was all fine.

We walked to the lift lobby but I was feeling really nervous as there is a camera around that area. However, W put my mind at ease that we were both wearing face mask and with our dressing, no one can tell. As we got into the lift, I was looking at the reflection and realised that with a face mask, my wig and dressing did make me more feminine…

We both walked out to a nice area and we started taking wefies to commemorate my first time dressing out in public. While we were doing that, I realised that there was a lady walking towards our direction. I really panicked but W was all natural and treated it like nothing happened. Indeed, the lady just walked past us, minding her own business. We both just laughed and I told W that we should go back to my lair as the heels were “killing” me. It was the first time I really worn heels and walked around and it is no easy feat. I really wondered how ladies do that all the time…  

After going back to the lair, it was getting a bit late for me as I did not want my wife to grow suspicious. W bid her farewell to me and she went out by herself while I started to clean up. After cleaning up and packing, time for me to head back home. However, to my surprise, my face mask was caked with cosmetics. I was really shocked but luckily for me, I got spare mask in my car. So I hurried to my car, “masking” my nose and mouth with my hand until I got to my car and took out a new face mask. Thankfully for me, it was quite a quiet Sunday and there was no one around.

And with that, it ended my second meetup with W and also my first but short dress out experience… A few things I have learned. Firstly, walking in heels is not easy and will need a lot of practice. I really wondered how the other CDs managed this, I was contemplating for get heels that are lower (maybe around 3cm) so that it will be easier for me to walk in. Next, I also learned to stand by some spare face masks in my lair in case similar things even happen again. The big question to end it all, will I dare to dress out again… Well, the truth is, I was indeed planning to dress out one of these nights for a short while but my sanity or maybe was it my fear that always dissuade me otherwise. Maybe what I need is courage and a little nudge from W. Haha… Maybe next time, I really hope to be able to dress out, drive to a secluded place and walk for a while, just maybe… Just to share the photo taken during that session. Enjoy and cheers.

The Women's Charter (CrossDresser's Dilemma of Coming Out)

Finally get some time to work on my blog. Cannot believe that I could post around 9 to 10 blog posts in November but hardly any time in December to work on one. It is quite unusual as December is a period where things start to wind down in many organisations and people start clearing their annual leaves. Anyway, I guess the festive season bug caught me too as I do feel kind of unmotivated to do anything.

Anyway, what has happened over the last few weeks is quite interesting. Isabelle approached me to ask if she can link her blog to mine for my article on Storage and Commercial Spaces for CD. I was more than happy and thrilled by her request as it shows that my blog can be a useful resource for the CD community. I agreed and saw a sudden surge of visitors to my humble blog. Hopefully my blog is kept up to standard. With that said, that means I must work harder to produce more blog posts of good quality to help the CrossDressing Community as a useful resource for them to turn to. 

With that said, I do have one topic on mind, but it may not be a popular one… This blog post is going to talk about The Women’s Charter in Singapore. Why did I decided to write about The Women’s Charter? Well unfortunately, CDs are not covered under this Act but I believe that transgenders, mainly trans women are protected under this statute. The reason for this post is for those CrossDressers who are married and are faced the dilemma or predicament about coming out to their wives about their CD tendencies. 

As we know, CrossDressing is usually frowned upon in Asia context and culture as it is associated with negative connotation such as gay, pervert, abnormal or crazy. However, a lot of CDs I know are normal straight males who just like to dress up as female as a form of mental and emotional release or getaway. Some are married with children, some got girlfriends, and some are looking for their better half of opposite gender. 

For crossdressers who are married, some came clean with their better half before tying the knot. For others, they may be like Isabelle case whereby the crossdresser revealed the truth after getting married. Coming out to their spouses having them to accept their CrossDressing “hobby” is NEVER an easy task and run the risk of ruining the relationship and face the wrath of THE WOMEN’S CHARTER. 

What is The Women’s Charter and what is so scary about it?

For short, The Women's Charter is an Act of the Singaporean Parliament passed in 1961. The Act was designed to improve and protect the rights of females in Singapore and to guarantee greater legal equality for women in legally sanctioned relationships. If you read the Act, it is filled with bombastic and legal sounding terms that no commoner can understand. Luckily for us, I found a summary on SingaporeLegalAdvice.com and the summary is as below.


I like to bring your attention to Point 10, which talk about divorce. For legal grounds to divorce, there has to be an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage. This is the sole ground of divorce. In order to show an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, you have to prove at least one of 4 legally-defined facts. The 4 facts that can be used to obtain a divorce in Singapore are:

Adultery

Unreasonable behaviour

Desertion

Separation

For number 2, the grounds for divorce includes “One party has behaved in a way that the other cannot be reasonably expected to continue living with him or her”, which can be termed as Unreasonable Behaviour. 

For unreasonable behaviour, A has to show that B has behaved in such a way that A cannot reasonably be expected to live with B.

What constitutes unreasonable behaviour is subjective. That is to say, what are the actions that are unreasonable to you? Some examples include:

Violence

Constant late nights

Refusal to socialise

Drug addiction

Compulsive gambling habits

Deprivation of sex

Working too many hours 

The list is not exhaustive. Unreasonable behaviour is an easier fact to use for an uncontested divorce, as B does not have to admit to the behaviour. This is in contrast to adultery which has to be proven, and this can be embarrassing. It is unlikely that there will be consent to divorce for reason of adultery. Many a time, this is the reason cited for CD divorce…

And in Singapore law, all thanks to The Women’s Charter, looking at Points 12 and 13, the men (or CDs) will be subjected to division of matrimonial assets upon divorce and/or pay maintenance to his wife upon divorce, separation or annulment of marriage, which can be quite costly...

Why am I bringing all these points? I am not trying to advocate divorce or asking CDs to stay single and not to get married, or not getting hitched and probably turn gay in the near future. My main intention is to highlight all these points to consider as I have heard of sad stories of divorces and broken relationships after the CrossDressers either come out to their wives or was caught crossdressing. It was a dear price to pay…

How can we balance our CrossDressing “hobby” and married life? There is no easy and quick answer to this question as all couples are different. Communication, understanding, compromises and love may be the best answer but I also do not have a solution to this as I am also caught in this web of emotional struggle between both my egos at times… Probably this can be another more personal topic for me to talk about next time. 

Back to the point, what can a married (or attached) CrossDressers do? I am no expert but here are my personal thoughts of 4 possible scenarios.

1. Coming clean and Coming out, acceptance by spouse (BEST)

This is a daring leap of faith. If you know your wife’s personality well and can gauge her temper and reaction, you can do some groundwork in preparation for coming out of the closet. It will be good to know what are those red flags and trigger points of a CD that she cannot accept and try to avoid those or have a walkaround for those. Or maybe you can be like Isabelle (read all about how she come out to her wife here) and come out and hope for acceptance from your better half. There will be compromises and it will take a lot of communication and assurance, but this is the most favourable outcome. This really depends on the significant others as the ball of acceptance is in their court…

2. Coming out or got caught when CDing, no compromise by spouse (WORST)

I have heard of a few cases where the CDs come clean with their spouses and did not end too well… Despite that love should be unconditional, at times, there are some points where women cannot accept men who dressed in female clothes. If you are caught CDing, I guess the best is to confess and say why you CD and see if your better half is willing to accept the reasons. We cannot expect them to accept even though when they are supposed to accept the other person as a whole, the male ego and the CD ego, it is all very subjective… This is the worst case scenario and we want to avoid it at all cost…

3. Give up CrossDressing totally (HARDEST)

If you are serious about CrossDressing and also about your marriage, this will be the toughest decision to make. There will be purges and promises that you must keep. Once you chose this path, never look back. Just kill off your alter ego and bury it. No matter how much you want to get back, just dismiss that thought and tell yourself, CrossDressing is just a hobby. After that, pick up another hobby or activity that can help you to keep your mind occupied and off CrossDressing. Or find activities or hobbies that you can do with your wife and family, that might help to alleviate that urge to CD…

4. Remind closet and keep it a secret (POPULAR)

I guess this is the most popular choice as we just need to keep our CD hobby from our spouses and never to let them find out. However, I do know of some couples who do not really keep secret from each other. Besides, the best way for a relationship to grow stronger is through open communication. The way I see it, you can take CrossDressing as an “ex-gf” or “ex-relationship” that you do not wish to share with your wife. To each their own choices. Notwithstanding, you must weigh the consequences about telling the truth and possibly facing the fury of THE WOMEN’S CHARTER vs keeping it a secret and “live longer”… Which is a better option? That been said, keeping mum about has its downsides also. Firstly, some CDs like me, have to use a storage space to keep our CD stashes so that our partners will not find out, that is going to cost money monthly. Next, squeezing time out to CD and avoiding suspicion from your better half is always a walk on tight rope and not easy. It also run the risks of been exposed if you are not careful. 

Finally completed this post, I do apologise as this post is a bit long. I hope that I have shared some good thoughts and sufficient insights with my fellow CrossDressers and also bring you all through The Women’s Charter for you to consider. There is no hard and fast rule for coming out and be truthful with your significant other about your CD habits. Just think through carefully before you do anything. At the end of the day, just choose a path and outcome that you can live with. All the best and cheers.

My CD Journey (Part 13) - Meeting one of my CD Idols [Meetup at my Secret Lair ]

Oops, I did it again... Never though I will not have the courage to host or invite another CD to my secret lair, but still... I did... It just happened just over the weekend but the whole meetup was so eventful and memorable, and I wished to record this as vividly as I can remember. From my thoughts and feelings, to preparation and actual meetup. This meetup was with one of my CD idols, I will just use "W" to name her. I know W from Facebook and Instagram, I think I mentioned her in one of my previous post before.

I messaged W some time in September this year on Facebook, hoping to be able to invite her to grace my lair, like how I did an open house with another CD the last time round. I extended my invitation to her as a reach out to fellow CrossDressers so as to widen my CD social circle, and also hopefully, to learn more from her about dressing out. To me, W is one of my CD idols because she is so pretty and daring. She dressed out as a female, took a lot of photos outdoors, went to a clothing store to try out female dress and she even dined in a restaurant in her CD mode. That is so cool!!! 

Anyway, back in September, I was still at my old lair site, thus much of my plan of inviting W over was nothing more than just a thought for the future days. Alas, the BIG move happened, and I was forced to move to my new current place. After I have settled in, I feel that it will be good to hold another open house to have some CDs to come over to visit my new location, and get some ideas on how to improve my lair. Remembering my invitation to W, I decided to keep to my word and invited her over to grace my new place. I messaged her on Messenger and I was in awe when she agreed to my invitation, so we fixed the date on last Sunday (28th Nov) afternoon at around 4pm. 

On the day of the meetup, I was really excited as it was like once in a blue moon when I meetup with another CD and what’s more, meeting up with my CD idol. Around 12 noon, I told my wife that I am meeting a friend to go out and will not be home for dinner before heading out. After I left home, I rushed down to IKEA to get a foldable chair and cushion as I only got a wooden foldable chair in my lair and that is for me. The next best thing for visitors to sit on, is a 3-steps wooden ladder, and that is not a proper setup to host my guest. After I gotten the needed furniture, I rushed to another shopping mall nearby to get some cakes, drinks and partyware for this event before reaching my lair at around 1:45pm. Feeling all excited, I did not feel hungry even though I never had my lunch that day.

After I reached my lair, I did not dress up immediately, but I was trying to get ready my place for hosting my guest. I put the cakes and drinks into the refrigerator and went to get some water from the pantry area in case my guest wanted some hot beverages. Just when I came back to the rented unit after I collected the water, I was in shocked. The glass doors to my rental unit was wide open and the common area was lit. Apparently, my “neighbour” who rented the room next to mine, came back with his family to settle something as I could see them hanging out at their rented room’s door area, chatting with someone inside the room. I thought to myself, my plan to meetup with W was foiled. 

I was disappointed and thought of calling off the meetup initially… However, not wanting to let W down and go back on my words, I still decided to go ahead with the meetup as per scheduled. I looked at my watch, it was only like 2pm and I was praying real hard that my “neighbour” won’t stay around for too long… I really wished that they would leave soon so that I won’t need to call off the meetup and appear like I was pulling a fast one on W, especially when it was our first meetup. Nonetheless, not wanting to leave things to chance, I still decided to remove the cakes and drinks from the fridge in case they stick around longer than I hoped. I was preparing for the worst, formulating what to do if my “neighbour” is still around during the meetup time. Since the glass door was wide open, that meant I do not need to open for W, and she can simply walk into the unit. All I need to do is to open the door to my lair and let her in. That seemed like a plan for the worst-case scenario. However, that did not really settle my racing heart down and my mood to dress up was affected actually…

Notwithstanding, I messaged W and told her about the situation and she told me not to be stressed. I tried to put myself at ease and began with my face preparation for make-up. While in the midst of doing that, I could hear that my “neighour” leaving the unit. That was a much needed relief, thank goodness. I went on to put my breast and hip forms and continued with the make-up. W messaged me when she was done with her make-up and she was on her way while I was still in the middle of applying my make-up. She had arrived earlier and I was still not ready, so, she went around the building area to explore and took photos before coming up to my unit.

I must be really nervous that day as I had given her the wrong address, but luckily, the address I had given her was around the corner. I told her to walk straight up, and I could hear the footsteps of her heels approaching. I saw her at the corner, and I waved for her to come over. We finally met in person!!! W was so gorgeous in real life, I was exhilarated.

I invited W into my small humble lair, I showed her around and explain to her my wares (both personal and CDs stuffs). I gave her some of my small size CD dresses that I bought from TaoBao, all these are my impulse or mistake buys because I underestimated my size most of the time… So, W tried out the clothing I gave her, and they fitted on her quite nicely. Well, maybe it is just a tiny bit bigger but those clothing matched her fashion sense and dressing style. She has the ability to bring out her personality and she really knows how to pose for photo taking. She tried on the dresses while I took photos for her when she was done. After trying on the dresses, we sat down, chit chat and have cakes and drinks like two ladies having tea, just that it is in the privacy of my lair. It was quite a fun and surreal experience. 

The chit-chatting session was so captivating and interesting, we covered a lot of topics, mainly revolving about CD stuff and so on. W was sharing her dress out experience and so on, while I shared about my lair setting experience. I found out more about her and I must say, she is not only a passable CD, but also simply amazing in a lot of aspect. We shared many things in common. This just increased my admiration for her. It has been such an unforgettable meetup experience.

Unfortunately, every party has to come to an end. It is time for her to go back and time for me to pack up and go home too. I must say, it has been an enjoyable meetup session and I was glad to meet W and get to know her in person instead as an online persona. All I can say is, it is momentous day for me. 

I was still contemplating about sharing the photos that W and I took because I try to avoid posting photos of myself or other CDs on my blog. However, she has given me the permission to blog about this meetup session, I feel that it is only fair if I share the photos that we took during the session. Maybe just one... (which is heavily post-processed)

Revamp and removal of all my facial photos

In a sudden change of decision, I have decided to remove all my facial photos from my blog to make it more private as I realised that I am getting visitors from all over the world. Initially when I was doing my blog, I was intending to make it a private space without many visitors. However, it does seem that I was getting more eyeballs from all over. 

So, in order to protect my privacy, I have decided to remove all my facial photos from my blog. That was why I removed some of my earlier postings and make modifications to it. I guess I picked this up from Isabelle as I realised that she seldom share her photos her blog. Well, maybe only one or two. Ever since she had done an interview on MustShareNews, I realised that her blog and social media changed to become more "publicly private"...

I guess that is a very wise move as this internet age, we tend to leave digital footprints behind. In order to protect our identity and privacy, it is better to be safe than sorry. I guess the only place you can view my photos update is through Instagram and Facebook and all those who can see are usually my friends (and some unwanted friends of friends). I guess that is the best I do... Oh well...

Shoe Expander & Stretcher - A Helpful Tool for Large Feet CrossDressers

It is almost year end and a lot of people are on leave, so I got more time to work on my blog. Hope I can keep the consistency, but I highly doubt it is unsustainable as it tends to get busy when the new year start all over again. Well, just enjoying my time where I can take those in-between periods to write my blog. 

This post is about a very useful tool for those large feet crossdressers like me. Before going on to introduce the tool, let me set the context straight. The height, body build, and activities that we do tend to somehow affect the size of our feet. For me, I am above 1.7m (but below 1.8m) and my feet size is gigantous. That is really unfortunate as there are a lot of female shoes or heels that I love to own but I cannot wear as they are made to female feet size, which is usually below EU size 40. I am looking for EU size 43 and above to get a comfortable fit and most places do not have that big size ladies heels. I really admire some crossdressers like a fellow CrossDresser named "W", who got such nice legs and small feet, she can fit into so many different heels… Really envious of her… For me, I got not much choice for heels, and I guess there are some CrossDressers out there like me, who are faced with similar predicament…

Previously, I have gotten a pair of EU size 42 (approximately 260mm) heels on TaoBao 618 anniversary sale (18th June). Typically, I am wearing like EU size 43 (approximately 265 to 270mm) but I decided to buy to try out, just to see if that 5mm make any difference… Ended up, the heels are so tight that my feet can barely fit inside them. This pair of heels has been on my shelf for quite a while and I was still contemplating about giving it away as the design of the heels is rather plain and unappealing and I doubt another other crossdressers will want them… 

Rather undeterred, I searched on TaoBao to see if anything can help with this problem, and just nice, I stumbled upon a shoe expander and extender. This tool is commonly used by shoe smith to enlarge shoes and I wonder if it will work on heels. I decided to do more research online to see how effective the shoe extender is, and it was said that shoe expander can sometime help to expand the shoes up by one size. Based on online recommendation, beside the shoe extender, I will also be needing some liquid called Shoe Stretch to soften the shoe leather for the ease of expanding. Thus, I ordered the shoe extender and the shoe stretch liquid to try out if it really works.


Once I gotten the items, I got to work on that pair of undersized heels. First, I sprayed the Shoe Stretch all over and wipe it around the heels before following the instruction of the shoe extender as per the picture below. I stretched the heels little by little each time and after almost a week, I was able to get my left feet into the heel. However, it is still a bit tight for the right feet. So, I decided to stretch it some more and leave it there for a longer period. 

The next time I tried on that pair of heels, I worn some tight pantyhose to compress my feet a little and tried using the shoe horn to let my right feet slip into the heels. Now, both my feet can fit into that size 42 heels, it was really amazing. The interior of the heels still feel a bit tight but I guess it is a good start that I can even slip them on when I cannot even do so the first time round. Therefore, I decided to continue seasoning and stretching the heels. Hopefully they will fit more comfortably the next time. So for my CrossDressing sisters, if you are having the headache of undersized heels, you should really try this tool out.


Here are my advice:

1. If you can get the largest heels size, then got for it. If the largest is off from your normal size by 0.5 to 1 size, you can still give it a try. For those that differ by 2 to 3 sizes, I think it is highly unlikely that the shoe extender and expander can work miracle…

2. Apply the Shoe Stretch and use the shoe extender slowly, do not be too rush for result. Just expand and extend a bit at a time.

3. Wear those tight pantyhose to help to compress your feet and it will also allow your feet to slip into the heels easily.

4. Use a shoe horn to wear the heels, that can help to get your feet into the heels easily.

5. Wear and season the heels by walking in them as much as possible.

6. If possible, weight loss can also help to reduce the feet size slightly (based on what I read online)

Hope that this post can give hope to those Crossdressers who are faced with the same problem of buying a pair of their favourite heels that are of smaller size. Cheers and happy heels hunting…

The Strongest Woman in the World: Chun-Li (春丽)

Was planning to work on this post straight after my Lynda Carter post but so many things cropped up within such a short period of time that I keep delaying... I have always wanted to talk about "The Strongest Woman in the World", who is also my female goddess, Chun-Li. Chun-Li is a fictional character in Capcom's Street Fighter video game series. She is the first female playable character to appear in a fighting game, making her appearance in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991. Can't believe that it has been 30 years since Chun-Li first appeared in my life. 

Chun-Li is an undercover Interpol agent seeking to avenge the death of her father at the hands of Bison and his criminal organization. Chun-Li, the first well-known female playable character in a fighting game, was designed with muscular legs. She is well known to wear a traditional Chinese qipao dress with long side slits to accommodate her powerful kung-fu kicks. However, what really completes the looks are those brown pantyhose that goes so well with the outfit that I will find it strange or unappealing if she is without them. That really makes me fall in love with her. As far as I know, it was the first time anyone had made a video game in which a female character was clearly wearing pantyhose, and that was cool.




How is Chun-Li related to CrossDressing? Well, one way to view CrossDressing as some sort of Cosplaying where people try to portray a character that is either from anime or game. For cosplayers, it is not uncommon for people to cosplay as the opposite gender, e.g. some female will cosplay as some male protagonists in anime series and we got some males cosplaying as female characters. You will be surprised by some of the results, one good cosplayer/crossdresser I know is Gin as she loves to dress up as Lolita and she is so beautiful.

Anyway, back to the topic, Chun-Li is a popular character that a lot of people will love to cosplay as since she is the first female fighting character. There is no short of female cosplayers who cosplay as Chun-Li, we have the famous cosplayer like Yaya Han, Enji Night, Hidori Rose and so many others.






However, there is hardly any male cosplayer who can cosplay or crossdress as Chun-Li well. The typical one that you can find online is Jackie Chan’s Chun-Li or Ladybeard’s Chun-Li but I’m sorry to say, they just destroyed the image.  



Sorry for the disturbing photos above but it is quite hard for a guy to crossdress as Chun-Li well. Luckily, I managed to find one crossdresser on Reddit and I think she can still pull it through. There is one more but I cannot find the source...



To me, crossdress as Chun-Li has always been my wildest dream, but I doubt I can put through. Chun-Li as a character is so ideal in my eyes, her hour glass figure with that thin waist, firm and well formed breasts together with that hips and muscular thighs. Her facial features are so sharp and elegant coupled with that make-up, qipao dress and brown pantyhose. It is just perfect, a slight touch of masculinity in her full femininity, gentle and beautiful, yet strong and powerful at the same time.  




Despite that Chun-Li is a fictional character created for games, but she set my highest standard for the ideal lady. I have tried to crossdress as Chun-Li before but I failed miserably. It is not as easy as just getting the costume and try to pass off as her. First off, the hair with buns is not easy to achieve especially with wigs. If you see the hairdo properly, you will realised that Chun-Li's hair is pulled to the back to create those buns, leaving some fringes to the front, this is not an easy feat with wigs. Next off, her thin waist. I feel that this is the hardest to achieve unless I wear corset and have it tighten really tight. Another way is to balance the proportionality by having a larger hip and bigger breasts, which I can probably achieve with breasts form and hip pads. Last but not least, the make up. I have yet to go into the details of achieving that make-up effect for the character. I got to properly study, analyse and plan how to get it. 

I will spare all the agony of seeing my failed Chun-Li attempt but you can see some of my previous post on the Chun Li costumes that I have in my wardrobe. Hopefully the next time I crossdress as Chun-Li, I will become much better. Cheers.
