I am reluctantly writing to you on the orders of my wife, I am 29 years old, slim build, my wife is 26, blonde, tall and very good looking. She is also very dominant: we have been married for three years and in that time she has become the boss, I must confess that it is my own fault, being rather weak willed, and she has taken the dominant role in all things.

I reckon things would have gone on normally but for a silly mistake of mine. I took her sister out one night, she is twenty, and when I took her home, for a bit of fun I dressed up in her clothes, we both had a good laugh, and that was that, or so I thought, but as it turned out I was very much mistaken. She told my wife all about that night, and on returning home from work four days later, I was confronted by the two of them. My wife was furious, she gave me a choice, take the punishment she would hand out, or have all my friends told about that night. I had no choice but to take whatever punishment she thought fit.

She made the punishment fit the crime, and from that night nine months ago, I have been made to dress as a girl every night and every weekend. I still remember that night with deep shame, the two girls took me to the bedroom, and there laid out on the bed was a complete set of female clothes, I can still hear the girls laughing as they got me into a pink brassiere and pantie girdle, then a suspender belt and stockings, then to my horror my wife picked up a pair of pink frilly knickers, she bent down at my feet and holding out the knickers ordered me to put my legs in them, and as she slowly pulled them up to my hips I pleaded with her not to humiliate as she was doing. She just grinned and told me that I had better get used to wearing them, and that if she ever caught me not wearing them my friends would be told about everything. My dressing was completed with a pink slip, white blouse, black skirt, and high heel shoes, then I was made to sit on a chair with my legs crossed as she read out the rules to me.

1. I was to wear female clothing at all times apart from work, this included a nightdress to sleep in.

2. I would move to the spare room, the only clothes in there would be female, and the room would be kept in a feminine manner.

3. I had to put my hair in curlers at night.

4. My clothes would be kept cleaned and ironed.

5. I would walk and sit in a girlish manner at all times.

6. I would curtsy when told to.

7. Any orders given to me by my wife, her sister, or their friends must be carried out at once, no matter how humiliating they might be.

8. I was to do all the housework, washing, ironing, sewing, cooking, and cleaning.

9. I was to appear in front of all their friends in girls' clothes.

10. Every night I would be inspected by her, or her sister, to make sure that I was fully dressed. Here she stopped and gave me a hard look, 'This includes your knickers', she stated firmly.

The worst time is when they have their girlfriends around, I am mocked and ridiculed no end, they always insist that since it is all girls together, that I go around in my bra, knickers, suspenders, and stockings only, I am ridiculed for wearing suspenders and stockings, as they all wear tights, they think it is hilarious that I am forced to wear suspenders, they also make great fun of my knickers, they all wear very small briefs while I am made to wear frilly feminine panties, they say that I look like something out of the 1950's.

This then is my lot, and I am stuck with it until my wife calls a halt, I hope this may be of interest to your readers.
Yours truly,

P.S.S., Middx.

There is no doubt that it is not the dress or skirt, but what must be worn underneath, which provides the most devastating part of petticoat discipline. And obviously this good wife undertands this, as she makes her poor weak-willed hubby appear in front of her friends in only his undies - and what beautiful, supremely feminine underwear it sounds! For obvious reasons, most of my lady readers consider tights to be much more effective at keeping their males under control than stockings and suspenders, but I do agree that knickers should be as pretty and feminine as possible, and full-cut as they were in the glamourous 50s.

The 1950s! This issue has already mentioned the 'New Look' (see 'Enforced Kiltdom'), and it certainly was the perfect decade for petticoat punishment. The little girl fashions, at least for Sunday or birthday wear, feautured full, frilly dresses with masses of lacy petticoats and pretty panties, and the fashions for women were not far behind. A return to the fashions of those days, which I recall with nostalgia, would give much more power to petticoat discipline, and would certainly help the revival which this magazine is striving to promote.
