Seamstress for Sissies
Dear Helga,

My first experience of adult little girls was when I was approached about four years ago by a man whom I came to know as Pansy Pamela. He telephoned to ask if I would consider making little girl dresses for him. I was intrigued as I had never come across the phenomenon of an adult wanting to be a little girl. As a result of his approach I made several very pretty frocks and baby style dresses and Pansy and I became firm friends. Our relationship was not in any way sexual but that of a mother and small daughter with Pansy addressing me as Mummy. I had no interest in him as a man but found him the sweetest little girl when he was dressed in his pretty outfits and playing with his dollies on my living room floor as I watched TV or performed my needlework.

Through Pansy I was contacted by two other adult males asking me to make them dresses, petticoats, frilly knickers, and so on. I was also approached by two mothers who wanted me to make little girl clothes for their sons.

The first lady had a 14 year old boy - whom she referred to as Claire - who desperately wanted to be a girl and who arrived at my studio convincingly dressed as a schoolgirl in a beribboned wig, grey pleated skirt, grey blazer, white knee socks, and patent leather black strap shoes nervously clutching her Mummy's hand. I made several little girl party dresses for Claire which she wore at home and when attending his little sister's fifth birthday party. She loved being a little girl and acted quite naturally as a small child talking with a babyish lisp and forever twirling her frock and petticoats and mischievously showing off her extravagantly frilly lace knickers. Her mother accepted her as her small daughter and treated her accordingly and away from school - where she obviously had to wear boys' clothes - kept her dressed as a little girl as often as was practical.

The circumstances of the second lady were quite different as this was a genuine case of 'petticoat punishment'. Her son was 17 although being a mere five feet two inches tall with a small build looked much younger (he had been adopted and his mother was a good seven or eight inches taller). She was quite open with me: she wanted to dress her badly behaved son as a little girl as a means or discipline and restraint and asked me to make several suitably babyish dresses for him to wear. She had sought this remedy for several years but her husband - who had recently died unexpectedly of a heart attack - had strongly opposed it. Having by now seen the benefits of males expressing their feminine side I was naturally sympathetic and supported the mother in her plans. Having taken the boy's measurements I therefore designed the frilliest babyish dresses with prints of fairies and cuddly animals, high waisted sashes, puffed sleeves, and rows of lace and ruffles around the hems. Two weeks later "Baby Lucy" left my studio looking the prettiest dressed little girl you could imagine with a dark wig of curls, waves, and ribbons, and uneasily cuddling a large dolly.

I believe petticoat discipline works on boys and men and that they should be encouraged to explore and express their inner femininity whether voluntarily or enforced by a mother or wife.

Helga, I can only congratulate you on having the good sense to have kept your son and nephew in little girl dresses and I am sure they have become better adults and obedient husbands as a result. Unfortunately, although I was married (I am now divorced) I never had children but - knowing what I know now - had I had a son I would most certainly have dressed him in girls' clothes and encouraged him to pursue feminine interests such as housework, needlework, and dressmaking.

Lots of love,
Jane

Thank you Jane for your lovely letter. I'm sure Claire and Lucy will grow up to be fine husbands for strong women.
