That suit would be great if it was RUBBER.

I'm thinking of buying this for some fun as well: https://www.asos.com/wild-honey/wild-ho ... 20jumpsuit

I must confess that ladies rainwear and crossdressing went hand in hand for me right from the start. Vinyl and PVC rainwear were very much in fashion for women during the 60's and 70's and, even as a youngster, I found them extremely captivating to the extent that I eventually owned a long black PVC mac before I acquired anything else. For me the golden age of ladies rainwear was actually the late 80's to early nineties. Most coat manufacturers had a line of shiny macs - Dannimac, Cloud nine, Four Seasons etc - and, living in London at the time, there was always a sighting of a woman looking lovely in her mac on my journies to and from work. That always made my day and you can be sure that I owned quite a few in these days.

My first lady clothes were usually PVC skirts and tops or a slightly tartier look and my outfit always completed by a shiny mac. That was when I was completely in the closet. Since then I've crossed the usual makeover and tranny event stepping stones towards being confident enough to venture out to mainstream bars, shops and restaurants in lady mode. I've never encountered any negativity or animosity to date. Quite the opposite in fact.

I should however say that I've never yet worn a shiny mac in public as a lady. For one thing the fetishist signals it sends out might attract the wrong kind of attention. I still feel a tad envious of women who wear either PVC or vinyl raincoats in public. Nobody bats an eye other than with passing admiration maybe. A tranny standing 6ft 4 in heels and wearing the same rainwear has not quite the same level of social acceptability. It's still a very private pastime that I now thankfully share with a couple of likeminded friends when opportunity arises.

There are ways round this though. I actually have a passion for well-tailored mainstream ladies trench coats. I have a long Burberry trench coat and one short beige mac. I've also just purchased a shorter black trench from Rainmac.com. (Yesterday actually following the link posted by the lovely Spitfire617) It's quite a good compromise and I feel dreamy wearing them as part of my outfit for the evening. Since going out I've also found that I've started to drift away from wearing fetish clothing - even indoors!!

I think that world is slowly changing and one day I am going to take the plunge and venture out in all my tranny magnificence wearing my long Weathervain shiny PU mac. Might get away with it if it's chucking it down.
