The first time I tried on this gorgeous @kittendamour dress I KNEW she was mine !
Why?
💕 Because of how she made me feel – radiant, powerful, sexy!
💕 Because of how she made me look – curvy, sensual, like a mermaid!
💕 Because of the story of how she came to be in my possession!
I am a trans woman.
Changing gender identity has not been easy.
There are SO many challenges to overcome – physical, social, psychological. (I talk about this in my speech “How I Made a Woman !” in which I equate making a woman like baking a cake ! What ARE the ingredients? What IS the recipe !?)
But there are joys too, many joys.
One of them has been that I got to create a brand new wardrobe from scratch, so my wardrobe now is largely intentional, & not full of crap !
Embracing fashion as a trans woman has been a journey of discovering my unique style, my designers, colours, fabrics, & celebrating the beauty of shape & form & silhouette & textures that delights me, feels amazing on my body, & truly reflects who I am & how I want to show up in the world.
But early on in my transition, just after I’d come out, I had little to wear.
I didn’t know where to shop, what to buy, what sizes would fit or styles to choose.
But I knew about Kitten d’Amour.
So this wonderful Kitten dress has a story.
The girls in the Sydney boutique were just so amazingly kind to me.
They made me feel feminine, sexy, beautiful.
A woman.
I think we all had tears.
Kitten d’Amour has been part of my journey from the very beginning.
When I wear this dress I feel radiant, and having lived all my life not wanting to stand out or attract attention, in this dress I just can’t help it.
In it, II feel fabulous, just like those Kitten girls made me feel 5 years ago.
And I love it.
Love Bobbi ❤️
