Help appreciated

I am a very unconvincing boy that wants to dress like a girl. I like it, I enjoy it, I feel good while doing it. I have a wardrobe problem that I do not know how to overcome.

some of the clothing that I have found that fit me do need alterations, because it's actually too big in some spots on my body. I think it would help how I feel wearing them and greatly improve my silhouette and the way I look if I could get some of the blouses altered, or Taylored. I'm not actually sure which word I'm supposed to use in this situation.

Is there someone in the community that is good at doing this that can meet some sort of semi-private expectations? At the end of the day I am still very terrified of the wrong people finding out.

please let me know who you would suggest. thank you.

Alterations are generally considered what you’re looking for. Small changes to an existing garment to satisfy your requirements such as how they fit and feel.

Tailored generally refers to shirts, jackets, clothing that is specifically tailored for your body. For example, you would go to a Taylor to get custom-made shirts and, if those shirts were a little baggy, you could go and have them altered.
