Need some honest advise

You may be uncomfortable, but I will pretty much guarantee you that the staff would be welcoming.  I am an overweight CD who has talked to many staff members multiple times and have always been treated kindly, warm, and welcoming.  I have never been in there and been treated anything other than what I have mentioned previously.   I have been there off and on for years!  Feel free to pm if you want to ask specific questions or a possible meet.

Thanks Jenna....maybe meeting will ease my angst!  I will pm if it looks like a go...

Be yourself and wear whatever you want to wear, Michelle.  I'm sure that Janet and her staff will treat you with kindness and respect.

This is why this forum is cool....thanks for you input!

Michelle: I agree with the other girls wear what you want to wear be confident and the staff and girls at Janet's will take care of the rest. They are the Best. ERIN

Thanks, Erin (love your name btw)....this would be a big step and your encouragement is appreciated!

I agree with what the girls are saying Michelle.  Be you and wear what you want to wear.

My only caution with you approach is if you plan to stop anywhere between where you change and Janets.  People outside of Janets will not be as welcoming.  But the staff at Janet's will be welcoming and non-judgmental.  And of course they will help you select the right wig for you.  As several have told me when I was there, you are among friends here.

BTW, when I went I wore a blazer with my jumpsuit.  I liked the look and it fit me well.  I have attached a pic, with a slight modification.

Might I suggest scheduling a make-over while you are there? 

Have fun!!!

Thanks, Jen...I have really rethought my style based on your example.  I think I can dress at my location and go directly to Janet's.  Your picture is incredible!  Such style and confidence!   Not sure if I can pull off the make over as I will be returning back that day...seems like a waste.  I think I am trying to get a feel of the place and a feel of me, if you know what I mean.  Seems a make over with an overnight makes more sense...

Michelle

Thanks Michelle. It was very nice of you to say those nice things about my pic. My confidence is sketchy at best but any confidence I have is because of the welcoming environment at Janet’s and because of the awesome people in this forum. Supportive friends makes a huge difference. 

Good luck with your adventure.  Have fun!

Jen
