Petula, I’m sorry that for you trying on a dress remains a fantasy. I have been into shops and taken female garments, including dresses and skirts,into changing rooms to try on. Usually I ‘underdress’ with bra, panties and tights, and have even taken my own heels in a bag with me so I can get the right image in front of the full length changing room mirror. I haven’t progressed to stepping outside in the shop while so dressed, but maybe one day. Even so, trying a dress on in a store changing room is most enjoyable, even more so if it fits and I then buy it.
