More than anything else about this hobby, I'm hooked on pretty & frilly dresses. Before the fire, I had a dress collection that would rival almost anyone's. I have a few pretty ones again, but nowhere near anything like I had before.
I was browsing through a lot of dresses on the internet the other day, & saved what I liked. It was hundreds of them. Here's some of them. I will post more of them later after I go through them, resizing, & trying to enhance the small or blurry ones.

Thanks for the cute dress pics Betty, I love the Communion dresses, they were always my favorites. Is the baby blue Lolita dress in pic Aug3br(22)jpg. similar to your red Lolita dress. I was always very jealous of the girls wearing their pretty Communion dresses or pretty party dresses and having a sister when I was growing up did present me with some opportunities to try some on. I loved my sisters white dress but the one that sent shivers down my back was a wonderful black velvet Christmas dress worn by a cousin. It had a wonderful frilly white petty coat under it that was sewn in so that when I found the dress hanging in our closet when they stayed over at Christmas, I was able to try it on without looking for a separate petty. It just completed the look and I stared for what seemed like an hour at myself in the mirror when I tried it on. If I could have found the white tights to go with the outfit I would have put everything on but then I would have gotten caught as I barely had time to get it off and back into the closet before getting caught. When mom came home and into the bedroom I was laying on the bed with a book in my hands. I would imagine it was the excitement of almost getting caught wearing such a wonderful dress that left such a vivid memory and I never saw the dress again after they all went home but I did find a photo of my cousin wearing it and doing a twirl for mom's camera when I was cleaning out my mothers things a few years ago.

The communion dresses of a few years ago were much frillier & prettier than modern ones. I used to have many before the fire. I found a couple for $36 each in girls size 14 & 16 almost 4 years ago that fit good. Not as frilly as the old ones, but silky & shear compared to most dresses or Lolita dresses. As pretty as Lolita dresses are, they don't have the look or feel of a nice old fashioned real little girl's dress made for kids.
In my youth, I'd go to thrift shops, goodwill shops, or salvation army stores for my dresses. At a dollar or 2 a dress it was the only thing a high school kid could afford. With all the strange people shopping in those places, & occasionally crossdressers there too, I was less nervous about buying dresses there. Still as a teen boy, I was terrified to buy a dress in a store back then, & my hands would be shaking trying make the purchase.
Many times I'd chicken out & buy something else, or buy something in addition to the girls clothes to deflect some attention to the fact that a little boy in a store was buying a dress. Let's not forget I was small. Even at 16, I was 3 inches shorter than at 20. So at 16 I looked like a 10 or 12 year old boy buying a dress - - not like a typical crossdresser or drag queen they may have seen before.
But the first dresses I bought brand new were communion dresses from JC Penny. Back in those days they had a wide variety of the prettiest, frilliest girls dresses. But those communion dresses they had were the best out of all of them. Being able to fit into girls size 14 & 16 dresses, they had dozens of dresses that I loved which would fit, but the communion ones won out over all of them.
My red dress doesn't look like that but is the Lolita style rahter than a true old style girl's dress. Here's some pix of me that weren't lost in the fire that I didn't purge after I died of the heart attack caused by the flu.
In the first set,
1 - 2008 The Milanoo red dress. Not bad for a 53 y/o.
2 - 1995 Nightwear from a UK lingerie store. Just a little 40 y/o baby back then.
3 - 1995 A B&W security camera shot of my favorite (red) dress, lost in the fire. Still have a white version of it.
4, 5, & 7 - 2013 The Milanoo Dress at 58.
6 - 2013 Under the dress. A tight girdle, tight yellow panties, & pink tights (dark spot at the crotch is a shadow, I didn't mess my panties).
8 - 2013 Communion dress.
In set 2,
1, 3, 4, 5 - 2013 Communion Dress.
2 -2013 Milanoo Dress
6 - 2013 Under the dress.
7 - 2013 Record of weight loss from heart attack & COPD (approx 97lbs.), still sorta fit.
8 - 2015 60 years old. Record of weight loss with COPD. (approx 93 lbs.) But still looking good.

Oh yes Betty, now I remember the Milanoo dress, I had saved the pic but forgot what it was like. I love the first pic of you in the dress and your communion dress too. Wish I could fit in that size again but it has been a few years. Quite a lot of my panties are girls size 14/16 and my pleated girls school skirt also. Wow 93 lbs. I have not been that low since the 60's. I think I am about 160 lbs. now but I am most comfortable at 135/140 lbs.
Thanks for these pics Betty, some of them I have saved before and I really loved your UK nightwear.
I have a cute pair of rhumba plastic panties with ruffles on the bum. To wear my school skirt now I need to put on tight panties and panty girdle and of course I always wear tights. My favorites are pink and white but I have many colours in my collection. The last few weeks I have been going through the boxes and finding things that don't fit anymore, mostly girls panties from many years ago. I have washed them an d checked for damage and if they are OK I will donate to the Salvation Army shop.
I am finding many panties still in original packages unopened but I had to buy them as they were just so cute even when I new they would not fit. I wish I was like Peter Pan and never grew up but then I would have had no income to buy the things in the first place. Over the years I have purged many a wonderful items like tights and panties and a dress or two from the 60's and 70's. I would start to feel guilty spending the money and hiding the things so I could not wear them very often and then out they would go. Of course I would regret it later, actually soon after the fact but they were gone so then it would be start over again.
The only things I ever lost were the clothes I had saved from my sister and panties I bought when in my teens and these were discovered by my parents and thrown out. I never really got a lecture but Church pamphlets were left on my bed about SIN and repenting ones sins. Mom was a devout Roman Catholic and thought I was too because I was an Altar boy in church on Sundays. Well my raging hormones came first and when I discovered playing with myself at age 10 or 11 it was all about pleasuring me and part of that was the urge to wear girls clothes under my own or around the house when everybody was out.
It was not until I was about 16 that our family doctor ran some tests when I was feeling depressed and told me my feelings were because I had more Female hormones than male. He also told me there was no real way for him to fix that but I said I wanted to be a girl all my life and prayed for God to fix me. He gave me pills, Anti-depressants I think but they made me fee l bad so I stopped taking them. Well that's my story in the shortened version anyway. Any body else want to vent here about their childhood perversions ?

Many of these outfits are simply divine!!!

More than any other part of this sissy hobby. Pretty frilly dresses are my favorite.
Milanoo was great because any dress I liked there used to be around $56 or less. Then, a lot of the nice ones went up to around $76. Now days, although I see a nice dress for a little over $12, & a few nice ones for under $60. Most of their nicest ones are now $80-$150. Once they get into that price range, they're shooting themselves in the foot because you can go to sissy & customs shops that have even more sissy-like stuff for the price.
Got some more pix of dresses. This time I've included more of my favorites that are currently at Milanoo too. Some of them are repeats of their stuff found at our older dresses & outfits gallery, but these may be a little clearer, sharper, & bigger.
The second one below is identical to the red one I've got, but is pink & white... yep, I got that one too. I'll bet they still have it in red & white if you ask for it.

In the second image below, is another view of the dress that's identical to my red & white one. They just placed the detachable bow at the neck, instead of at the waist where it originally was. I liked it so much, I have this one too, but I'll bet they still have it in red & white if you ask.
Back around 2007 or 2008 when I got mine, it was only a little over $40 with free shipping. I don't remember the current price, but I'm sure it's much more by now. Several times a year they offer free shipping. I'd always wait for a free shipping sale before I would buy their stuff, to save a lot of money on them.
I never had a problem with them & they are reputable, but it has taken 3-6 weeks to get delivered. Sometimes it will sit at USA customs for over a week before it moves on. If you order just before, during, or after the Chinese new year, it can take a long time to ship. The Chinese new year is sort of like our Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years all lumped together. Many take the entire month off, or slack off for a month around the holiday.

Well Betty, of course I do love all the dresses in your pics but the Milanoo dresses are some of my favourites. I recently went on pintrest at a site called Costura. It is filled with the most wonderful little girls dresses that made me most jealous. Some are three piece outfits with panties and bonnets too. There are many other European makers of wonderful children's dresses that just made me want so bad to be a little girl. I can only imagine what it would be like to be adorned in these creations going to a party and being the center of attention perhaps getting photo's taken. It would be a fantastic feeling. You should check out pintrest children's clothes and some vintage photo's of children also. I could spend hours there looking and wishing my life away.

I refuse to join Pinterest. They still steal our bandwidth from our servers to serve pictures from us by hotlinking them from my servers. That's where they have a browser on their servers, that come here acting like a visitor who clicks on the image here, but to display there, rather than save the image or catche the image to display there using their own server resources. They make millions of dollars. They should pay for their own resources, bandwidth, & servers, instead of sneaking around leaching off of poor & independent sites like ours.
They claim they don't do it, but I catch them regularly hotlinking to our pictures, stealing our bandwidth, & consuming our server resources. They're damn sneaking about it too. If I write some script to block them or block their ISP, they get in through disguised as another fake visitor, through another one of their ISPs or a new ISP ID range that I didn't block yet.
I used some script blocking to block their banners when I visit there, so I can see their pictures without their banner asking to join blocking my view, but sometimes it don't work when viewing their full size images. I suspect the ones it don't work on are also ones they're hotlinking to, & stealing somebody else's bandwidth to display.
Another very scary problem about them is, that if a picture or pictures from a particular site seem popular, they will spider the site to collect more images, & create a section titled after keywords found at that site... without the site owners or image owners permission. Then, Pinterest may copy the images over to its own servers, & their copy will still exist even if the site or image owner deletes the pictures.
The problem with this is, that Pinterest claims ownership & rights to of any and all images used on Pinterest web sites according to their terms of service.
So years later, they can turn around sue us, or issue a take down notice for us to remove the images by claiming they own the copyright to them. Anything posted on Pinterest by users, or anything posted by Pinterest by their spiders, or fake users that they created themselves, automatically becomes their property according to their terms of service. By posting at Pinterest you automatically signed away all rights to them for anything you post there when you joined. It's in the fine print of the agreement you made when joining.
They create a full-size image from your site, which you have no longer have control over, that will compete with your site's images in search engines, and perhaps, erode the traffic to (and value of) your web site.
Say someone links to an article or post you've made. Wonderful news! Now, interested parties who might never have found your site can be exposed to your material. But what if someone pins a photo from the "linked" post instead of your original? You guessed it. The person who linked your content gets the click back and not the original poster. Add to this the fact that Pinterest makes it incredibly easy to re-blog the Pin instead of the original content, and basically you've lost all control over ownership of your work.
Pinterest is not our friend. They will ruin or destroy small or independent sites, & take over their material for their short term profits. It doesn't matter to them if they destroy or exploit sites, because for every one they helped bring down or ruin, there will be another new one to exploit for a while.
-
I am not sure how I got onto Pintrest, I think somebody sent me a email link and now I get a post everyday and of course they are tracking what I like to look at because each day is a new version of what I looked at before. Achitecture, Furniture Design, Ballet and dresses and lingerie. I would get out but the clothes are so cute and the other topics are things I like very much also.

Found some more pretty & cool outfits. As usual, some of them were way too large a file s size so needed to be compressed, or the image was tiny & need to enlarged & enhanced, or they need some cleaning up, fixing, or sharpening. The whole process is a bit more involved than just finding them, downloading them, & uploading them.
Betty's serves thousands of pictures, hundreds of video & audio media files, hundreds of stories, & thousands of posts to 4.5-5 million visitors annually. Some file processing, & management is involved to make it possible, & it's not all automatic or built into the system.
Enjoy!

They are all very nice, but i do like the ones that are very feminine but not over elaborate. Little girl dresses like Oct3dr (32).jpg are my favorites.
-
Yes sissybaby34, that one is my all time favourite as it is very similar to one my sister had at 6 years old. I was 7 and her's had pretty pink roses in the smocking and I was caught wearing it several times by mom. After repeated attempts to keep it off me she just hid it somewhere or perhaps gave it to one of my many girl cousins as we were packing to come to Canada. I don't ever remember that dress making the trip though as I never saw it again. It was getting on for winter when we arrived in late October and as it was a summer frock my sister would have outgrown it soon enough. I was disappointed that the dresses mom bought her over here were not as cute as the ones she had in England but I did manage to get into her First Communion dress after she wore it at age 8. She also had the wonderful white ruffled nylon panties and white tights to go with it so when my chance came to wear it I went for it all and was in girl heaven for almost an hour before anyone came to see what I was up to. My sister was at a friends house for the day and as I was always playing by myself mom did not look for me until lunch time. I was almost out of the tights and panties when I heard her so I was able to slip under the bed and stay very quiet. She put some clothes away and then went out to the kitchen. I got out of the clothes and put them away although not as carefully as usual and then I went out the french doors off the bedroom and around to the kitchen door. Of course she asked where I was and I said at the playground behind our apartment so I think I got away with it. She never said anything about it and I was always out there anyway so it was not unusual. Don't know whatever became of the communion dress though as I only got into it one or two more times. Would have kept that dress all my life if I could.
-
I also love the pic Oct 10(18)jpg. of the little boy in girl heaven wearing the white frothy tutu dress with daisies on the bodice. I wonder if his mom wanted to see what he would look like or if he just kept insisting to try it on so she gave in. I have a thing for tutu's and dresses like that as I really wanted to take Ballet when I was about 10 or 11 after seeing a neighbour girl practicing her Ballet. I only asked my parents once and dad had a fit about it as he was always trying to get me into sports of one type or another. In England at age 6 he put me into Football and if you know anything about British Football it is pretty rough. Being little and and shy I was always getting nailed and hurt until mom finally said no more. Dad did not argue as he was leaving for another job out of town so that was the end of that. I did try Highland dancing with a cousin a few times wearing a kilt but mom did not have the money for lessons so my kilt was mainly for Church and special family occasions. That would be when I would see all my boy cousins wearing one also. Well as I have said before, the closest I got to Ballet was when I took figure skating lessons at age 12 or 13 and paid for them myself with a paper route. Later on when I was about 20 I volunteered with Toronto's National Ballet working backstage or in their Gift shop and I got to see many practice sessions and help out at the Ballet School open house. It was great fun and got me close to the world I loved and the tights and costumes but I was so jealous.
-
Yes. Dance & theater companies were great places to see some fantastic outfits. Especially in the old days, many of them were more fancy, & custom or hand made or modified. Many of the costumes were made by the same people or shops who made fancy wedding, square dance, & clogging outfits.
-
I have some more pretty outfits for you. Just like the cute guys in cool outfits gallery, this time I included some pix we posted here long ago that may not be around the internet anymore.
Enjoy!

Hey Betty, I have always loved the shot of your cute little ruffled butt and the cute little girl bubble rompers. My sister had some but I don't think I ever tried them on. She was only about 18 months younger than me and I don't think I was into dressing at that young age. At least I can't remember doing it until about age four or five. I always seem to love white dresses and tights and may associate it with wearing her First Communion dress. I do associate my love of plastic and rubber pants with the fact that my mother and aunts would put me into them without a diaper if they were still drying by the fire. I found a photo of me in moms album taken after my bath at about age two, wearing only the rubber pants and mom told me the story of how there were never enough diapers after my sister was born so I was frequently in just the real rubber pants she got from my aunt who had 8 kids. At age two, she and my aunts were trying to train me into using the toilet but I was not too keen as it was in an out building/wash house just off the kitchen. The house was built in the early 1900's and most English plumbing was on the outside of the buildings.

Those panties, like most of my panties in the 90s, I ordered from the UK. Back in those days, the nice frilly ones were better & cheaper shipped from a store in the UK than buying them in America. The top I'm wearing with those panties was also from the same store.
LOL, every summer since 5 y/o until my teens, my parents would drag us kids off to live at our country cabin in the wilderness. No plumbing there.
About 3 months out of every year we'd be miles from anywhere, with no friends around, & nothing to do except aggravate each other. There was nobody else around except for an occasional critter & lots of summertime bugs in 90F heat with not even a pond to soak in on a hot day. No electric fans to cool you off either. We washed out of a pot of water from the well. I'd climb up a shady tree on a hill to catch a breeze on hot days... most of the days were hot.
When dad wasn't on vacation, he'd drive 50 miles to work & back there in the summer, so Mom, & us kids just stayed there most of the summer.
No electricity, no gas, no plumbing, & no running water. 80 foot walk from the cabin to the outhouse down a narrow path surrounded by woods. Scarey at night because you could hear critters in the woods, & all around you when in the outhouse taking a dump. Of course, being in the middle of the wilderness, us boys would pee anywhere there was a bush or tree rather than make a trip to the outhouse... depending where we were in the day, the outhouse could be real far away.
My aunt had property up there too, so if we wandered around or up there, it's a few miles to the nearest outhouse.
Thinking back, I'm surprised at the lack of supervision I got being in the middle of the wilderness. Even at the age of 5, I would wander all over the place & through the woods for miles all by myself. My parents & brothers either didn't notice or did care. If I got attacked by a bear, had a fall, or fell out of a tree, they wouldn't have known anything was wrong until I was missing all day. Sometimes I'd have my dog with me, but often he'd wander off somewhere half the day too... chasing rabbits or other critters no doubt, or finding a cool shady spot to chill.
I remember one day, my older brothers decided to go exploring deep into the woods, & I tagged along. After hours of wandering off the paths, they concluded we were lost. I think I was about 7 or had just turned 8 that summer. It's a good thing I tagged along. I was never in the boy scouts, but read all their books, wilderness survival books, & some military survival books by then. Back before the internet, there was a library in every neighborhood, & in every school to look up things.
At that age, I also had been wandering in the woods all by myself all the time, & not getting lost. Although it was an overcast day, I told them the bright spot of the grey sky is where the sun is, & that we've been mostly heading west towards the sun (for that time in the afternoon). So I said if we walk with the bright spot in the sky to our backs, we'll head east, & get pretty close to where we came from.
After what seemed like well over an hour of walking, we arrive at a clearing, & see our cabin in the distance. At the time the brothers who were with me were, 10, 13, & 16 years old. But the little 7 year old kid had to guide them out of the woods, because they didn't have a clue.

I have some more pix of pretty clothes. A few of these are holiday dresses that I didn't get around to posting last month. But they're still pretty no matter what time of the year it is.
There is no rule that you can only be The Lady In Red in December anyway. Some of my favorite dresses are red!
Enjoy!

Somehow these recent dresses pictures got tacked onto the guys dressing up gallery by mistake. Sorry about that. I moved them to the dresses gallery.
I guess having several browser windows opened at the same time while using 2 different browsers, while downloading a video, & processing another video all at the same time on the same computer things somehow got mixed up.
I don't think the computer could have mixed them up, it was human error. I got them mixed up. After I posted them, I went onto other things rather than check them too, then went to bed. I didn't notice they were put in the wrong gallery until this morning.
Lesson learned: Don't get over-confident with routine tasks. Check your work when you're done.
