Please forgive me for not writing sooner, but the end of the old year, and the beginning of the new, have been very hectic for me. I would like to express my continued gratitude for your site which, I will expound upon presently. I have been doting on your site, enjoying both the Christmas edition as well as the January installment.

Thank you so much for printing my letter in the November issue, 'The Loving Guidance of Petticoat Discipline'. I continue to explore sites devoted to the training of males to become sweet, submissive docile and worshipping housemaids to strong, dominant women, and I must say that I always come home to PDM.

I especially enjoyed the submission of "Sissy Boy" who has now become such an adorable, petticoated little doll for the pleasure of his new mistress. Does he know how lucky he is to have such a mistress?

I also loved the letters from Rosa Maria, and Heather St. Claire. It was so inspiring to see that there are indeed women who care enough about their relationships to take charge, and set things in the proper order by insisting, through loving but obviously firm and strict petticoat discipline, that their husbands become the sweet, adorable well-behaved little girls that we males, (who know our place) really are. Kimee Baby is especially fortunate in that he has been blessed with training as a little girl and maid. I do hope that Rosa Maria will share his future journey with us all when he is permitted to serve his wife's friends as her fully trained sissy maid.

Finally, the eduation which I have acquired through your site, which has helped me accept and welcome the fact that I too am a sissy boy who loves to be the sweet little girl at the core of my nature, has enabled me to make contact with a woman who lives close by, who is looking for a submissive male to dominate in a relationship. I have passed her initial screening, and hope to be able to meet her in person soon. I am learning to be the best sissy I can be through your wisdom, and hope that I will be able to serve my mistress as such in the near future.
Thank you again for showing me the way.

Dear Miss MacDonald,

As always, it seems you have your facts right.
Q: Which of the five senses is the strongest at evoking buried memories?
A: The olfactory system is without doubt the most direct route to our brain. Why else would baby powder smell be so strong in my mind?

Here's another true tidbit: Women have a stronger sense of sense of smell then men. Why? The answer that I found says that women have a more developed sense of smell because they needed it to identify their young. Interesting? Anyway we here in the USA love your newsletter, and give us more dummy discipline , that is needed by a few of
the people I meet.

It's interesting that the sense of smell can evoke memories in such depth. Writers composing a literary autobiography frequently revisit the places of their youth, which have changed for the worse in so many cases (as the Australian memorialist and comic Barry Humphries once said, 'Never go back' ). But what these writers should be doing is trying to recreate the smell of a well-worn school sweater, or of the stale, orange-peely odour of the school locker room. 

Dear Susan,

I adore your pictures!  Poor pretty Chris is such a "doll!" And Aunt Julia is so mean!  I have never seen TG art like yours, and I think what you have done is very clever.  You have so many wonderful touches!  I especially like the tear when Julia chides him for being such a baby about petticoating.

May I make requests for future pictures?  Is Chris wearing a wig, or is his hair really long?  If he's wearing a wig, I think we should see him dressed up with his natural short hair, so that we can better see his transformation from boy to girl.  Right now, the only way we know Chris is a boy is because of your captions.  Also, I would like to see how Julia punishes Chris for misbehaving at the Fashion Show.  Does she spank him?  Poor baby!  I bet he would cry!  (lots of tears).  I love Chris's Victorian outfits, but I would also like to see him made to dress in modern fashions as well.

Finally, how did Julia manage to make Chris submit to petticoating?  He must have resisted at first.  Did he try to run away?  Did he cry?  Was it necessary for Julia to restrain her nephew, at least at first?  Did she have to keep him quiet?  A picture of pretty Chris bound and gagged in petticoats but without his wig - ah, now that would truly be a sight!  Keep up the good work.  I adore you!
Love,
Kitty

The pictures are not mine, but Christeen's. I have no illustrative artistic skills. What Christeen chooses to picture is entirely up to her, but personally I don't like the idea of young Chris being bound and gagged. Being cuddled and teased is more in the piquant spirit of 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly'.

It goes without saying that all my contributors retain copyright over their own work. None of it is my property. 

Dear Susan,

Thank you for a wonderful publication. I am 44 years old, and was first "petticoated" at 16 by my mother. That was in 1973, when girls wore much prettier clothes than they do today. Teenaged girls wore such things as slips and pantie-girdles, which the modern young lady would not contemplate.  I stayed at school until I was 18 and achieved good exam passes, probably mainly due to Mummy's monitoring of my schoolwork.

Each evening after school, I had to change into full schoolgirl uniform, including gymslip, to do my homework. Mummy took me to task for poor marks, but rewarded me for good work. More of that later if you are interested.  I always wore a pantie-girdle, even for school, and vividly remember one event, when I was 18.  Mummy and I were on a bus, with a group of five or six girls of about 16 years old. Two of the girls began to argue, then one jumped on the other and, in the tussle, her skirt and slip rode up to reveal her bright pink pantie-girdle.

Mummy admonished the girls, saying if they were her daughters she would give them a sound spanking. However, when we got home it was me who received a spanking, for looking at the girl's underwear. The next day Mummy bought me two pink pantie-girdles, as she said I had liked them so much.

Mummy kept me in skirts for many years, and I will let you have more details if you would like.
Yours sincerely,
Bobbi

Naughty boys who stare at girls' pretty undies definitely are a good argument for petticoating. Make sure you read the letter 'Thorough and Effective Petticoating' in the current issue. It's a pity that today's girls - and plenty of today's boys - are not dressed in slips and pantie-girdles by their mothers. I am sure it caused you to spend more time on your studies. Definitely write with more about your petticoating experiences. 

Dear Miss MacDonald,

I enjoyed your web site very much.  I have been a big baby for over 40 years and have been taken everywhere, as the attached photo will show.  I hope you will still be here if I am allowed to look back again.
Michelle Ann

Well I imagine that I will still be here. I am not sure if babies wear ten gallon hats; they certainly don't in Britain anyway. Nevertheless you look very sweet. 

Dear Miss MacDonald,

I was pleasantly surprised to find your wonderful site. My feminine name is Phyliss. I have been a sissy as long as I can remember. It took me a long time to come to grips with it, but I am much happier, now that I have. I am now entering my 60s and have a wonderful understanding wife. Back thirty years ago, she encouraged me to go out dressed. I have been fully shaved and pantied ever since. Her girlfriend pierced my ears also. In the last fifteen years, I have discovered the joy of little girl attire. Even as a youngster, I adored little girl ruffled panties (rhumba panties) and I still do. I am enclosing a photograph, which you may use if you desire. I recently discover Annemarie on ebay and have purchased some of her dresses. They are adorable, and very well made. Please keep up the good work. I hope you and your readers enjoy the photo.
Sincerely yours,
Phyliss

I must say that you do look very sweet in that adorable little girl dress, and you seem to be enveloped in a mist of little girlhood, the kind that accompanies magical transformations in faery stories. I have now put a faery picture at the bottom of the 'General Correspondence' page, as a symbol of the magical longings of so many of my readers.

Dear Susan,

Thanks so much for the reply.  I wanted to test the water before I wrote anything more.  I contacted another publication here in the States one time, and my mail came back as undeliverable.  Then for a period of two weeks, I started to get obscene phone calls, all aimed at me as a cross dresser.  It seemed like too much of a coincidence, so I proceed slowly now.

I wanted to tell you what a delight I have found your site and magazine to be!  I have visited the site often, and have probably read most of the letters and advice. I can identify with the theme of the letters and advice.  While I never experienced the discipline of fussy petticoats myself, I often dreamed of it.  Reading the magazine has helped me to do so vicariously.  I imagine others have had the same experience while reading the magazine.

I hope you continue your good work, and I certainly wish you well. I am an avid reader.
Best wishes, sincerely,
Sarah

You are safe here. Petticoated.com is committed to the secure happiness of its readership, who are always treated as equals, and with respect. I have often pointed out that I am not a 'dominant' woman, more of a well-educated woman interested in arcane Victoriana, and that petticoat discipline is a fascinating phenomenon which falls under that umbrella. Of course it has a sexual side, I could not say that I was unaware of that, but I strive to keep the site in good taste and not offensive to female readers, whom I wish to attract.

Now, what about sending me your birthday, for my birthday file? And be assured that I am not publishing the year, unless a reader especially asks me to. And that request applies to the rest of you lot too! 

Dear Miss MacDonald,

Congratulations on your site, which I discovered recently. As you have a schoolgirl issue coming up, I thought you might be interested in the regime which my brother was subjected to, which put to an end the many years he spent bullying myself and my sister, and subjecting us to teasing and various indignities.

It all changed when we went to live with a no-nonsense aunt who believed in the old methods.  Not only did my aunt and my sister and myself remove all his male clothing, forcing him into girdles, corsets and schoolgirl knee socks, but, as he was educated at her home, he was forced to always wear a full schoolgirl uniform, like the old boarding schools of our aunt's generation.  Not that it enabled him to hide. She would make sure to parade him to church on Sunday, and to a shopping street in full uniform at least once a week, occasionally bringing him to ladies' and girls' wear shops to buy corsets or slips.

She made sure that he always had one or two gymslips to spare so there was no escape from his fate. There was always an extra one hanging on display in his room, so it could be noticed if he looked in that direction. Like all of us who have had to wear gymslips at some stage he hates them, only I would imagine more so than any girl.

As punishment, he was occasionally sent to cut a switch in full view of everyone, dressed in his uniform. As the garden was overlooked, the neighbours soon learned to look forward to the event. It was nothing too severe, just a few taps with the rod on his bottom to remind to remind him of his new-found station in life.  I hope the success of keeping my brother under gymslip discipline are of interest, and give an idea to women everywhere of how good and compliant a male can be when forced into school uniform.
Jennifer

Dear Miss MacDonald,

I don't know if you have noticed, but Elli has put up a whole new page of baby pictures, and she really looks beautiful. I do suggest that you take a look - her site is at
Debbie

Elli wrote to me some time ago, and sent me a couple of pictures especially for reproduction in 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly'. I do know of her site. I agree that the baby pictures are lovely, and lots and lots of my male readers would envy Elli her wonderfully fluffy and frothy petticoats and dresses. Here is one picture from the page:
