PART 49
Pressing ahead without waiting for a response, Mrs. Smyth explained, “When Mrs. Meriweather’s youngest daughter Cindy saw the movie ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy’ she became absolutely enamored with those gorgeous Fauntleroy outfits. So much so, in fact, that her mother got a matching set of outfits made for the girls in the Fauntleroy style for a High Tea years ago. Ellen wanted to wear a dress, so that’s the one that your sister will wear today.”
With a twinkle she continued, “and luckily you are just slim enough to fit into little Cindy’s Fauntleroy suit! Isn’t it exquisite Josh?” She added admiringly, “this one really has all the ‘bells and whistles’ to make it stand out!” Smiling, she went on, “And you can see it comes with these adorable pants so as I said earlier it’s a much more boyish outfit… very dapper!”
Josh’s heart sank as the full realization that all his hopes for the “boyish” outfit he had been getting excited about were completely dashed now. If anything, this was going to be worse than wearing a dress, because everyone would know he was a boy… a complete sissy boy!
In a shaky voice, he replied, “Oh… yes Mrs. Smyth. It’s… lovely.”
Mrs. Smyth then said gaily, “I can’t wait to see it on you!” Gwendolyn watched this exchange with a very pleased look on her face. Mrs. Smyth then explained, “Of course, it’s quite the process to put you into it properly since it has so many wonderful extra details and accessories!”
“Let’s get started, shall we?” she began, “and I’ll tell you a bit of the history of Fauntleroy suits as we go along which I’m sure you’ll find interesting.” Mrs. Smyth continued, “first, here are your stockings.” She guided him to sit on the little stool in the dressing area and handed him a pair of long white stockings. “Put these on, Josh. Elegant stockings are the foundation of a proper Fauntleroy look, usually white or cream-colored.” She offered, “I prefer the white because they make a much more striking contrast in my opinion.”
Under her close supervision, Josh rolled the heavy, ribbed stockings over his manicured toes and up his legs, first his right and then his left. He shivered as he felt the clinging sensation of the thick stockings encase his slim legs. He could just barely reach his toes with the confining corset restricting his movements, so Mrs. Smyth helped him get the stocking toes straight. He felt so emasculated seeing his pretty pink nails shimmer as he slid into the elaborately patterned stockings. Next Mrs. Smyth had him stand back up so she could straighten his stockings. Then, she fastidiously clipped his stocking tops to the little satin straps attached to his corset. She nodded approvingly as she stepped back to inspect her blushing, bestockinged charge.
The confining feel of the stretchy white stockings tickling his thighs caused his “little man” to tingle mercilessly, but it was safely secured in its pink plastic prison down under his diaper and frilly white rhumba panties. Standing in his stockinged feet, Josh saw in the mirror just how delicate he looked. His confining hosiery was now smartly clipped to his white satin corset with the delicate straps running prettily over his frilly panties. He grimaced again at how much bulkier his panties seemed with the added diaper underneath. His ruffled training bra sweetly caressed his narrow torso in such a delicate way, leaving just a tiny gap of skin above his tightly fastened corset.
“Now the pants,” Mrs. Smyth said next. Josh sighed.
“These darling little knee pants and the matching coat are made from velvet which is the traditional style. Luckily for you the air conditioning in the restaurant works quite well. Otherwise, you might get too hot wearing it. Now most Fauntleroy suits were made in darker colors like black or navy blue, but Cindy’s favorite color was pink, so here we are. Velvet is such a wonderfully luxurious fabric… here feel it Josh” she directed.
Josh reached out with his prettily manicured hand to touch the pants. As he felt the texture of the rich material, he shuddered a bit knowing he would be wearing these incredibly juvenile pants momentarily. The short knee pants were a dusty rose-pink color, and he realized that his Baby Pink Sparkle nails were a very similar shade of pink. “Great…” he thought.
“These pants are just precious, and based on your measurements they will be a perfect fit on you!” Mrs. Smyth said with satisfaction. “See all the lovely details… the whole outfit is truly exquisite!” she added. Then, she directed, “Let’s try them on.”
In short order, Josh found himself wearing the darling knee pants, and he could already feel the warmth of the rich velvet. He saw immediately that there was no fly. When he mentioned this minor detail, Mrs. Smyth had responded, “that’s one of the reasons I think you’ll be grateful for the added protection of your… diaper… dear. Just as a precaution, of course.”
Josh winced slightly. Now that word he had tried to ignore had been said out loud: "Diaper!" Somehow it had been avoided up til now. He glumly had to accept that he was in fact now a diapered sissy. Once again, he looked at his reflection in the full-length mirror.
The pants had an elasticated waist, and he had noticed several buttons sewn inside the waistband when he put them on. The sissyish pants billowed out a bit over his thighs and reached down to just above his knees. They were much more like shorts than pants in his opinion. They were sweetly tapered and gathered at his knees with more elastic. Fussy white lace frills adorned the hems and encircled his slender legs. Motionless, he watched in the mirror as Mrs. Smyth snugly buttoned the knee pants just above each knee and then knotted off the dangling ribbon ties at the bottoms of the hems, leaving adorable little pink bows nestled in the white lace that cascaded from each pants leg.
“Oh, that corset did the trick dear,” Mrs. Smyth exclaimed happily, “they fit you beautifully... with even a bit of room to spare!”
“My, my... they are absolutely gorgeous Joshy,” his mother gushed. Then she added with a slight twinkle of irony, “you’re going to such a handsome little prince today!”
