Hi Heather
hadn't really been keeping an eye on developments and have probably developed a little further than I had planned originally as I have no plans to transition.

I was so surprised to read about your shopping trip as today as I had a similar experience to you when shopping in the lingerie department of M&S last Friday, while browsing the assistant asked if I needed any help or wanted try anything on. Having read fantasy stories covering this before I never believed that it ever happens in reality.
Turned out that what gave the game away was that she had noticed me in the store a couple of times buying random sized bras (none of which fitted)

Allison,
Yes bra buying is a little hit and miss for me too I am very comfortable with a 38B and fill the cups without course to padding or 'chicken fillets' ! I will be happy to reach a 'C' or better still a 'D' but at the rate I am progressing the C may take another year or two.
I was in M&S myself yesterday collecting my new Maxi skirt and a top. I do like shopping there and sometimes they have some great offers. Funnily enough I may be back there today or in the morning to buy a 'balconet' bra. Ideally I would like to ask for a fitting appointment (I have no shame) if only to confirm I am buying the correct size for myself.
I am well known in Boots cosmetic dept and they are super, I also frequent Matalan quite a lot for various items of female clothing. They too are aware of my circumstances and offer assistance. So keep it up dear sister you are helping the cause but most importantly Allison.

Take care dear sister

Hugs
Heather
