Sally's Oasis - My Personal Philosophy

How The High Street Sees It

We called six stores to see if they cater for cross-dressing

Question: "Hello. I'm a man and I'd like to come in and try on womenswear. How do you accommodate customers like me?"

John Lewis: "All our changing rooms are private, so just try on whatever you like in the men's facilities, during normal shop hours."

C&A: "Select items and take them to the menswear department."

Liberty: "I'll get someone from Personal Shopper to call you. We would like to make this enjoyable and not compromise your privacy."

Selfridges: "No problem. Select the goods you want and try them on in the second or third floor women's changing rooms."

Dickins & Jones: "We get requests like this a lot. Just select the items and use the women's facilities."

M&S: "Um, let me ask my supervisor." After a brief wait: "Could you call back so we could see what we could arrange?"
