A dressing service is aimed at people who wish to crossdress or to present fem for the first time. Dressing services provide a safe place to experiment. They are also a very discreet option for those unable to present at home. They provide a selection of clothes, do your make-up and can provide wigs. For some people a dressing service is a regular monthly experience as it can be kept totally separate to your day life and even done in a different city. Sessions can last several hours and some offer a 'chaperone' service for you to go shopping or to a restaurant 'en femme'.
