Letter 1
PENELOPE'S NEW UNIFORM
From Lesley 
Dear Susan,
 
Well, holidays have come and gone and the nights are drawing in, and my good friends have, as promised,
delivered my husband's new winter 'display costume'.
 
As I explained in my last letter, my close friend Kay, who made Penelope's last outfit, had offered to do the
same again (at his expense of course), and the end of September was agreed as the 'unveiling' date. In the
meantime, as Kay was being very succesful and busy in her own business, she had delegated much of the work
to her assistant, Ros, who, to Kay's great amusement, refused to believe that what she was producing was for a
man!
 
Last Saturday was the agreed date, and Ros was, of course, invited along to join the party, making six ladies
in all. On the last such occasion Kay had delivered the costume beforehand, so that I could dress Penelope,
and produce him in full regalia on the night. This time however, Kay phoned me on the Friday and suggested
that it might be even more humiliating for Penelope if she and Ros prepared him on the night. I was a little taken
aback at first, as this sort of thing had always been just between the two of us, but then saw that it could be fun,
and agreed that he would be waiting upstairs on the night, made up and in his corselette, bloomers and stockings,
for them to do their worst!
 
Penelope was, of course, outraged at this development, but a few threats of even more humiliating
punishments were sufficient to bring him into line, and despite more begging and pleading in the final hours
before his new ordeal, he was prepared and in place at the due time.
 
My guests turned up for drinks and were quite disappointed not to be greeted at the door by a suitably-clad
Penelope, however when the situation was explained they thought it was a huge joke, and waited eagerly to see
the results that Ros had produced, she and Kay having gone straight upstairs with their parcels on their arrival.
 
Presently the door was triumphantly thrown open, and there stood Penelope in his outfit for the next few
months. All quickly agreed that Ros had done a super job. After last winter's pink creation, Ros had this time gone
for a superbly frilly white blouse over a black full skirt, with a beautifully-produced predominantly white pinnie, lavishly
flounced and frilled, with pink trimmings (she knows how much I love putting Penelope in pink). She had also
added a lovely frilled mob cap, which I felt added a nice touch of even more servility. She had also produced a
pink version for his other outfit, which he, of course, had to try on later.

The crowning touch for me, though, was the lovely-looking frill of petticoat which hung tantalisingly just below
the hem of his skirt. They had obviously gone to some trouble to ensure that just the right amount was on show,
and Ros was delighted to explain that this was a beautiful old-fashioned linen petticoat that her mother had kept
for many years, and that she thought would be just the thing to add a finishing touch to this outfit. We all agreed
heartily, and, of course, Penelope was soon required to humiliatingly raise his skirts to reveal the lovely creation for
display - the result of which you can see for yourself!
 
The evening followed it's usual course for these occassions, with Penelope kept well and truly on his toes.
Discussion started, with Kay and Ros ribbing each other as to which of their outfits made him look 'prettier',
last year's pink creation, or the new one. Penelope was, of course, required to don the pink costume, topped off
now with his new flounced housemaid's cap, and the ladies present voted 3-3 ! What do you think? Also do you
prefer him as a brunette or grey/blonde? What I really mean of course is which makes him look more 'petticoat disciplined' !!
 
Pictures herewith, hope you enjoy them,

Well ! You have given our readers something think about! Personally, I like the new outfit with the brunette look. The fourth picture is beautiful, and that tell-tale frill of petticoat is just too precious for words. I think it's a pity that the poor silly darling can't appreciate his petticoats more - you would think that any man would be in heaven being smothered in such an ocean of frills and flounces. Still, it is the squirming embarrassment that makes petticoat discipline such fun, and so effective.

Penelope is quite a star here at petticoated.com, and readers always look forward to seeing her latest look. I don't know how Penelope feels about being ogled by so many bossy women, but I suppose her feelings are not a matter of the first importance.

Readers are invited to write in with their own opinions of Penelope's two housemaid costumes. The other costume is featured on these pages:

As a postscipt, here is a letter from Maid Angela:

Dear Susan,

Once again Mistress Lesley has come up trumps with a further account of the lucky Penelope's treatment. I note that she is asking
for any ideas to increase his humiliation.

Since she has already had him trying on ladies' aprons in the shop (I have done this myself including the dress), the next step has to be taking him out in public as a woman.  I would suggest to start just feminising him and taking him for a drive, possibly stopping in a quiet spot and having him walk round.  As he got used to this then a walk in town round the shopping centre.  Later the nature of the walk could be changed so that Penelope was obliged to walk two paces behind and carry all the parcels making it clear to observers that he is her servant.  Things like Lesley going into a shop and saying, 'Wait here girl,' while pointing to a spot by the door.  Penelope would then have to stand there on his own.

I have thing about ladies' capes ( I have some pictures if you would like to see them).  I like being taken out for a walk while dressed
in uniform, but wearing a cape over the top.  Madam Dawson has done this for me several times including in my bright red rubber
raincape (I did get some funny looks that day).  So to me the ultimate experience in this area is to be sent to the shops by myself
to buy  something pretty, dressed en femme and wearing a ladies' cape. I hope that some of these ideas will be useful to Mistress Lesley, and I would like to reassure her again of my great respect for her.  I wish she was my mistress.
