Ok, posting here in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction, one of my sons has his promise coming up and wants to wear a dress with high heels.

I have no idea where to find a dress that will be cut to suit him, he is medium height but slender and obviously flat chested ( although he's not averse to 'getting' booms for the night.

Is there any where I can take him to shop or are there any online shops that cater for him? I've tried googling but getting nowhere.

Thanks

I don't think he needs any boob or bum padding at all he looks great. Youre an awesomw mum

Another vote for the gorgeous boy, hope he gas a fab time.

And can I just say how heartening it is to see all these positive comments, for the mother of a trans boy (not exactly same issue..but) it's great to see such accepting attitudes becoming the norm !

backwardpossom · 20/05/2015 23:45

That dress is perfect on him. I wish I looked that good in a dress like that!

Eeeek! Have an amazing prom FooShuffles boy!

You're going to look absolutely fab, knock 'em dead Wink

He looks amazing! Will there be a photo later of him fully 'done'? I hope he has a fantastic prom night and how lovely that he is able to be himself and that others accept and support him. It's what we all hope for for our children isn't it?

Lottapianos · 07/07/2015 14:52

What an absolutely lovely thread. He looks fabulous in that dress and those nails are wonderful. You are a truly terrific mum - please be proud of yourself as well as him!

Hope he has a brilliant night and feels fabulous. Flowers for both of you xxx

Fully finished picture to follow, it may take a while to get his make up right!

Thanks for all your support and dress finding!

Hope he has an amazing night

RattieofCatan · 07/07/2015 14:56

I saw this when you originally posted, he's very lucky to have a parent like you!

Out of curiosity, is the nail thing a new "thing" with the two colours and swapped fingers or just because that's what he fancied doing? Confused

Lavenderice · 07/07/2015 14:57

I'm soooo looking forward to the photos!

He looks amazing in that dress, I hope he has a wonderful time tonight.

PeterParkerSays · 07/07/2015 16:15

Did he do the nails himself or did you do them? They're very well done.

zgaze · 07/07/2015 16:36

This is possibly my favourite thread ever on Mumsnet, what an amazing mum you are, and your son is stunning, wish I looked like that in a dress!
