Daphne modest, appropriate and not attention-drawing. Google “modest school uniform adult size” and you’ll get some good options. The thing about adopting school uniform is that most of the sources out there are angling to sexualize it. You want something that would not be out of place at a religious service.

The occasional Japanese source does do it well. Google-shop “Akane tendo cosplay” and you’ll find a very respectable look. The important thing with any skirt is that the hemline is below the tips of your fingers with your hands at your sides.

      Daphne yes, since they’re not designed to accentuate sexuality, that area is pretty well covered up!

        Daphne I’ll be honest, your focus on the uniform is a red flag that maybe you’re not taking this as seriously as you let on, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. I’ve been openly trans for ten years and I still get excited about new clothing!

            Daphne I can certainly appreciate that! But try some of these exercises and see how they affect your self-confidence and how you carry yourself, whether you’re in a skirt or a t-shirt and jeans. Manners and comportment matter a lot in being a respectable young lady.

                Daphne oh, no doubt! If anything, I’m just trying to fill you in on all the ladylike things that can be done with literally no resources.

                  gwen Retro Stage, Sweet Salt and Pink Desert are fun. I aim for a modest, understated housewife look, so the religious-inspired “modest clothing” sites are useful.

                  honestly, if you’re not going super-retro, you can get a pretty good 50s domestic goddess look at Wal-Mart if you know what you’re looking for. And my mother-in-law totally knows 🙂.

                    Daphne I’m sure you do, but that’s a pretty advanced grade of chastity! Plus it only really works with a steel-band belt, so that may be a while for you, possibly even post-transition. Thigh bands are useless for male chastity but extremely effective for female.

                        Daphne a good call, though you can also start with just a few. If you really want to go with a school uniform for college, I recommend getting a few of the same one and being truly uniform by wearing it every day of class. Otherwise it’s not really a uniform! (And on days you don’t feel like wearing it, it’s a reminder to you that you wanted a disciplined lifestyle. Kind of like the many days I hate wearing this belt!)

                          Daphne But also, this is important: speaking as one trans woman to another as opposed to a belted wife speaking to a potentially belted wife: It’s okay to experiment. You may find the cage not to your liking, and that’s all right. You may find the 50s wife look invigorating, and one day decide you really just want to dress like a hippie chick for a while. This is all perfectly all right. You’ve grown up with limited clothing choices and now you feel free to try others, and that means you can experiment, mix and match. You’re young, you don’t have to commit to anything. One week in a belt and a week off? Sure, why not. Uniform one day, a suit and tie the next, and a pantsuit after that? Also okay. You’re getting to indulge in self-discovery that you’ve probably dreamed of for years but never got to try until you
                          embraced your identity. You dream of a forced lifestyle in belt and bands but don’t let that deter you if your dreams change or even if you just get a bit tired of it. (Trust me as someone who WAS forced through mental abuse not to self-touch! It’s not pleasant.) Have as much fun as you can while learning who you are 🙂.

                              Daphne It is indeed a fine and virtuous lifestyle to choose! And you and I have the benefit of choice rather than the way previous generations of women simply had to suck it up.

                              What are you looking for in an eventual key holder, by the way? What is your ideal future spouse?
