When you're taking pictures of yourself, don't use a mirror, it'll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that's how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.
Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.
There's loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.
Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

Trying on women's clothes makes me realise that I need to be smaller. Like I wish E would sap away your proportions. Even if I was thin, most of these clothes don't fit.
There are a ton of body types, and you'll be able to find good-looking clothes that fit you well. It just takes time and a bit of effort. Where have you been looking?
Online and some in person shops. The generic stores.
A lot of "generic" stores don't really have much to offer larger women, cis or trans. I do most of my clothes shopping either at thrift stores or places that focus on plus sizes like Torrid.
I did lose some height and I swear some rib cage. Not tons. But some and its significant enough I had to buy new bras and new shoes and new pants etc.
They dont make clothes for women, there's a very narrow band they make clothes for and plenty of women - cis, trans, intersex - don't fit what they make. The baggy look is currently in fashion but so is crop tops. I would shop at goodwill or other thrift shops and get my first bunch of girls clothes there, there was a lot of uh grandma style clothes but whatever. Theyve stopped making as many women's cut tees which is a bit annoying cause I finally have a femme enough waist and big enough boobs that they fit properly lol. I also go to stores that are meant for tall and/or curvy women and have an easier time there too.
This is why I wanna start my trans clothing label lol
If you need a business partner on that label, I know a girl who also has trouble fitting into clothes (it's me, I'm the girl)
