Dress for my cross dressing brother?

My younger brother is a cross dresser i do not have a problem with that and have always tried to support him. He is very convincing and would dearly have liked to have attended my recent wedding dressed as a female this did'nt happen of courese. I knew he was down about it and gave him a set of underwear the same as bought for my bridesmaids to try and cheer him up.Now one of the bridesmaids is emigrating and has given me back her dress as she cant take it, i am thinking of having it altered for my brother and having some pictures taken of the two us me in my wedding dress him in the bridesmaid dress just as a a souviner for the two of us.

Do you think it seems like an afterthought a bit like saying well you were'nt good enough for the wedding but well here have this instead.

Or would he be as thrilled as i hope he will be.

And i dont care about your nasty small minded comments he aint hurting anyone so if you don't like it just don't comment ok x

    That is so incredibly sweet of you!

    I don't think it could possibly be a downer for your brother to have such a fantastic sister. God, you'll have so much fun.

    OK, couple of things. First - thank you from a crossdresser. Thanks for being kind and thoughtful and open minded. This would be a much nicer world with more people that had a spark of compassion.

    Next thing - I think it's an awesome idea! Your brother should be able to understand that the Bride is the star of the wedding. Nothing should distract from her special day - the day SHE is supposed to be the princess. Let's face it, having him there cross dressed would have been a major distraction, so your decision to not allow that to happen at the wedding can be understood.

    Your now offering to give him the dress and spend the time to help make it special by having pics taken with you in your gown is a VERY thoughtful and kind gesture. Even if he declines and says "nah, don't worry about it", he will KNOW that you thought about him, that you cared, and that you tried to make him happy. I think it's an awesome gesture. :-)

    i personally think you're bloody brilliant, i mean how many sisters would be this supportive, good on ya girl.

    Yeah get the dress altered and make it a surprise for him, and maybe you could get some pics of you in the wedding dress and him in his bridesmaid dress im sure it would make his day knowing that he will at least get some pics of him and you in your wedding ensembles.

    i don't think that it would be an afterthought, i personally think that there has been a lot of thought go into the idea, i mean you're on here asking about it, so it proves that its no afterthought.

    And hope you both have a great time together

    Considering that it would be a special occasion, just the two of you, I would think it would be a wonderful and special thing! Since you know his (her) desire to attend your wedding and the circumstances as to why that could not happen, this is likely to be the kind of thing that can be treasured for a lifetime and beyound.

    You're the kind of sister that every kid brother wants to have. Not that you support his crossdressing, but that you support HIM (or HER). Wow, you are a wonderful and caring person, keep up the great work!

    What an angel you are!

    First tell him that you think so much of him and appreciate all he did for your wedding. You really wish he could have been one of your bridesmaids, and you want to make it up to him. So tell him you're going to make him your honored bridesmaid for a day. Have him wear the dress to get it properly altered for him. Set a date for the pictures and have him enjoy the full bridesmaid experience.

    He will treasure the experience for the rest of his life.

    I think she would love the idea of being able to stand next to you. She will always treasure the picture of you in your wedding gown and her in a bridesmaids dress. It would show how much you do love him. And perhaps both of you go out someplace very nice. Would be wonderfull if he could wear that dress. If not, then perhaps something just as nice.

    What does the dress look like?

    I think it *does* seem like an afterthought, but I'm sure your brother understands the reasons he had to miss out during your wedding in the first place. I'm sure if it weren't for the feelings of certain family members or friends (or whoever), you would have had no problem with him coming to your wedding in a dress. Doing this for your brother now shows you support him and wanted to give him something special, even if everyone else doesn't agree. I think he'll love it.

    I think this is a tremendously thoughtful of you!

    I'm sure that he understands the reasons why he couldn't attend your wedding dressed as a girl. If he loves you half as much as you love him, he'll also appreciate that he would have drawn focus away from you on your big day.

    I think this is a wonderful idea, I know that he will appreciate it. Even more though, I know from personal experience that he will appreciate your acceptance, and be absolutely thrilled!

    As a cross dresser myself I think it is a wonder full thing you are willing to do I wish I was your brother.

    He will love to have a photo of both of you dressed to the nines also take some more with both of you dressed in other dresses and skirts it will prove it was not an after thought

    Your "sister" will be delighted. The support of a family member is so important to a crossdresser. I do not know what I would have done without the love and support that my entire family has shown for me. Believe me, she will cherish the pictures, but above all else, she will always hold the moment dear in her heart that you showed such care and love.

    Speaking as a crossdresser, I would love to be dressed as a bridesmaid, but know it would be hard.

    However, the fact that you are willing to have it altered, dress him up to the nines (hair, nails, dress, heels, etc) and get pictures done in your wedding dress as he were one of your bridesmaid dress is as many say, "Very sweet and does show your love for him as your brother - a crosdresser"
