Dressing my little

[Guest GentleUKDaddy]

As a gentle Daddy I'd love to dress my little for the day and then get them into their pj's at night as I feel this shows the level of care a good Daddy should give.

But I do also appreciate this may be a bit too intimate for some littles.

Littles out there, would you like Daddy to dress you? Or not?

Be glad of thoughts...

Not a little, but my 2 cents. I think it's important to discuss with your actual little, as people have very different preferences in their approach to DDLG. In my personal experience, some littles would love for their daddy to dress them. Many really like their daddy to help pick out their clothes, but they want to dress themselves. And many littles, particularly those into fashion, want to do it all themselves. So I'm sure you'll get different thoughts on this from littles based on their own opinion, but all that really matters is whether YOUR partner wants that. So when you find that person, have open dialogue and communication with them, tell them that you would like to show affection that way, and see what they think.

What Renegade 91 said^
But for me, I like being dressed. I like to be very dependent on my Daddy as long as it doesn't bother him.

Communication between romantic partners is always important, but I think it's even more so within a DDLG relationship.

Caregivers should always ask their littles (while the little is in bigspace) about their preferences for stuff like this.

On a personal level;

I typically dress myself, but then excitedly ask my Mommy if she likes it or thinks it's warm enough on colder days.

I'm a bit of a fashionista with my outfits though, and don't really want my jeans + graphic t-shirts wearing Mommy, digging through my insanely diverse wardrobe...

she might become overwhelmed while trying to match unmatchable stuff up, lol. 😂

Still though;

I know that some littles absolutely love being dressed by their Daddy. Another big one is having Daddy do our hair- some littles love it, but I personally don't.

This is totally a personal preference,  that's best to ask about first!

I completely agree with all the previous comments. I think it’s something deeply personal for both the CG and little, and since we’re all different, what one person likes might differ in some way from others. So, communicating wants and boundaries when everyone is in big space is really important.

That being said, for me personally, it depends on how little I’m feeling. I hate making decisions, so I always appreciate help with choices. Some days, I’d want help getting changed too, while on other days I wouldn’t. For example, when I’m feeling little but toward the older age range, I might want help choosing between two outfits. But on days when I’m feeling really little (closer to the younger end), I’d want my CG to pick my clothes and help me get dressed. I also really enjoy having my hair done for me! But again, everyone is different, so I think it’s something that needs to be discussed and agreed upon within the relationship.

I think everyone hammered home the point of communication pretty well. But I will also say that even outside of ddlg, helping your partner get dressed can be one of those overlooked/underrated sweet and loving acts.

Where the power dynamic comes in is if you start to control the how, where, when, what. For example, if you wanted to pick out the outfit, or if dressing your little is some form of reward, etc. All of which is to say, that's where communication goes from the average expected levels to critical.
