OK. I know I'm new here so I hope this is OK to post as I'd like to know how your lingerie choices have developed over the years and see what journey you have been on. I know I have.
I started with stockings and suspenders, as I'm sure many others have, but what looked sexy in the catalogues didn't really transpose to my male body. Suspender belts were thin, itchy and I felt just didn't suit me whilst my stocking choices disappointed me with my hairy legs clearly visible. I persisted and tried different designs of suspender belt and along the way learned the difference about denier, lace tops, opaque, fully fashioned and hold ups etc etc.
Then I moved on to bras and fake breasts. I have bought many, many pretty bras over the years including underwired, half cup, plunge, T-shirt and even mastectomy bras with pockets for prosthestetics. I filled the cups with various different fillings from socks, stockings filled with rice or anything else I thought would work and balloons filled with water before I finally bought my first 'proper' silicone boobs. Still I wasn't happy. Nothing looked 'right' as my fake boobs were often visible to some degree so it affected how happy I was when I was dressed. The search continued to see what else I could buy that I would look better in and feel happy about wearing.
And that, ladies, brings me to where I am today. My lingerie choices are now what many would deem 'old fashioned' however I think I'm much happier as my boobs don't show and I can hold my stockings up easily. I now wear a selection of corselettes (Naturana or Silhouette mainly) of the open bottom variety and also have a couple of vintage girdles . My bra's of choice, if I happen to wear them with the girdles, are mainly midi or long line lace bras (Triumph Doreen), that are not underwired and full cup. Stockings are at least 80 denier, black and opaque that I wear with with everything and at least hide my hairy, unshaved legs.
My lingerie choices certainly influence the style of dress, not blouses or skirts to any great degree, that I wear and I'm comfortable with my choices. I'm not one for showing my bra straps and wear nothing too low cut ( though I do know at least two seamstresses who are very accepting and do excellent work should I need anything adjusted).
So that's me and my 44DD journey. What's yours been like?

I think I have carried out the same survey as you. I do wear stockings suspenders and panties everyday and my wife knows. I have corselette’s Naturana and silhouette my wife bought me some for Xmas. Panties are now either full short high leg or thong. I am shaved fully from eyebrows down except a little you know where. My wife does not like my upper thighs shaved as she says it is jaggy when we spoon in bed. My stockings are 10 denier and 15 denier. I do have Elbeo support stockings and they are up to 40 denier.

I don't get it Emma Women shun this lovely under ware and something which easily titillates and turns us on.
@Davina I was guilty myself Davina of stopping wearing lingerie.
Now i have underware for practical times and i dont mind getting the fancy lingerie on for a night of fun.
As i put in another post I even like it if he's in sexy lingerie too lol

@Davina . I had a girlfriend many years ago who wore peach coloured body under a military style black dress when we went clubbing. Very sexy. I'd need a big bra to keep my boobs in If I were to wear one. Same with a Basque which I also tried but at just over 6ft that wasn't a particularly successful foray either. @Stephanie Yep, I'm with you on the big pants. I look for some sort of control pants to help keep things in check. I've now got a fantastic corset that I tried on for the first time last week that I wore over my corselette. Very surprised how much it improved my figure so will see later this week when I can try on a few more of my dresses (I've just bought another glam dress tonight which I've been looking at for weeks off FB Marketplace) and get a few decent photos.
You have made a very good point Suzanne. I too started with all sorts of desires and mental images of the flimsiest undies and - yes - stockings but when I go out I am more likely to be found in big pants - Bridgette Jones style - and tights. They work with my shape better and more importantly give me a better silhouette when out.
Of course it's ok to post here its an open forum for anyone here to start a thread or ask a question.
My lingerie choice is usually black lace knickers and black lace vra but mostly i like a nice black lace body with stockings and heels and a nice dress.
This sort of thing
I'm usually in a body under my dress.
This for me dates back to nice french knickers and black matching bras my mother has and in particular a black body I used to wear.
Esme (My wifes) had a few of these bodys which I've inherited or bought my own.
My lingerie choice hasn't really developed much as I wear the same type now as I wore then.
Love stockings and suspenders and heels.
I'm lucky im blonde so with 60 denier stockings i can get away with only shaving my legs above the stocking tops.. I'm not really hairy and shave hair everywhere else.
I have two sets of fake breasts some Ds i got from another t girl who was purging and last year i downsized to a C cup set which is a better fit.
