Plain T-shirts in a thrift store, you can do by yourself. (even then, you may want someone else)
But anything beyond that is impossible to do alone in the early stages.
Why?
Because Dysphoria won't let you.
Everything you try on is going to look horrible and make you feel bad. You can't trust yourself. You need someone else there to say "Yes, that looks good" and even though you won't believe them, you have to trust them.
And if they say “that doesn’t look good on you” you have to believe them, no matter how much you want to look cute in the skater skirt. But you also have to believe that it’s not YOU that is the problem, it’s fashion and society. (And eventually, you can probably get to the skater skirt). But you need someone else to see it.
You can't see it yourself.

And, as much as this sucks, you have to try on A LOT of pants before you find a single pair that works. If you're tall like me, it's even harder, because everything is sized for the average woman's height. But there are some gems I've found. The first is Alloy Apparel. They specialize in clothes for tall women, and at 6'3" without any hips, I can say that their high-waisted skinny jeans are to die for! https://www.alloyapparel.com/ #TransFemmeClothing

@FinalGirl@blackqueer.life You absolutely nailed it (and I still need emotional support buying jeans, a decade in)
