Shopping in the Metroplex

Shopping

• This place is great. Fashions are current, kind of young at heart. Sizes range from junior stuff to Womens sizes. I like this place beacuse their "Resource" line handles those large sizes 18 to 24 in really becoming looks. They even have large "resource" jewelry, large bracelets, necklaces and such. They almost always have some nice "clip-on" ear-rings for those of us without pierced ears. Prices seem to start out reasonable, but after a little time they fall dramatically. The range from $50 to $60 for a nice outfit to $19 for a spandex dress to $9 for a tee shirt.

• This place is super for girls on a budget. Fashions seem to hang around until sold. Sizes range from junior stuff to Womens sizes (I don't know if I trust this place, they even have mens clothes there). They have large sizes 18 to 24 that aren't bad. The prices are the best. I have found nice dresses for as low as $12 to as high as $30. I have bought dresses there that I saw at Mervyns at 3 times the price. You have to watch to get the latest goodies. Not a bad place for beginners or that ever popular starter kit.

• Hey they got really spiffy "current" shoes from little gal sizes to size 12 wide. I've seen the latest "strappy" sandles to great dress shoes for great prices. Prices range from $20's to $12 and sometimes as low as $5. Last time I was there I bought 4 pair of shoes for $48. Again great if you are just getting into this little hobby.

• Located on the Northeast corner of the Northlake Shopping Center (intersection of E. Northwest Highway and Ferndale/Easton,) Larger Than Life specializes in consignment of women's clothing sizes 14 and up, exclusively. Kat Krone, the proprietess is a very nice person and is TG friendly.

• All shoes $9.99. If you are size 11 or less, plenty of selection. There are also some good styles in sizes 12 and 13 (albeit fewer in number). The sales ladies there are very TG friendly. Ask for Edna, Canandra or Wendy (Wynnewood location.)

• One of few places you can find blouses with 36" sleeves, or trousers (if that's what you like to wear :), with 36" inseam. Ask for Sharai -- she's TG friendly, and invites you to try on merchandise, if it isn't busy.

• Plus Sized, upscale clothing store with a section of great deals on discontinued items.

• April also offers transformation and shopping services for those girls that have not been able to go out en femme and offers a safe places to do so.

• We all love this place. They are a little pricy but you really shouldn't scrimp on your undies. The gals that work there will try to up-sell you for more goodies for your "wife". They are used to guys buying stuff there and will not give you a second glance if you have an arm load of bras. (what? of course you'll need matching panties). Keep an eye open, they have good sales and are a great place for spandex control slips or body briefers (lets try to get the best curves we can!). They also seem to have larger sizes you won't find in the catalog.
