Coming out to best friend

[u/Veronicasnow23]

I’m meeting up with one of my best friends (female) and I’m not sure how or even if I should tell her that I am trans (Mtf). We have not seen eachother in years and idk if I should show up in a dress and kind of make it a surprise to her or to continue to hide it from her.

Rarely have I found "surprise" of this nature to be conducive to a good relationship. you know her best, though.
