Percy barely hesitated before leaving the parlour to fetch the frilly pinafore he would be wearing for the morning's festive tea party. But before he had taken three steps, he was severely reprimanded by his beautiful Stepmother. "Come here this instant, sissy!" Percy swallowed hard, hesitated again, albeit momentarily, and returned to face his Stepmother. "If you forget one more time to curtsey before leaving my sight and responding with a warm 'Yes, Mommy Dearest,' You will be petticoated, Percy. Perhaps a nice freshly starched crinoline petticoat, five lacy tiers, with "PETTICOATED SISSY" prettily embroidered in pink on the front tier will remind you of the few simple rules I have set forth for you that you seem unable to follow. Or perhaps I could have you fitted for a frilly party dress...hmmmmmm? Would my dainty little sissyboy like that?" "OH PLEASE!!!...Mommy Dearest...Please don't say such things to me!! Please!! PLEASE don't make me wear a dress!" "Hmph!! My patience is wearing very thin with you, Percy! There will be no more warnings, Percy. None! Embarrass me in front of our guests and you'll rue the day you disobeyed me. Sissies like you need to be firmly put in their place. Sissies are to be seen and not heard. I expect every single mannerism of yours to be distinctly feminine. I have absolutely no doubt that putting you in petticoats and short frilly party dresses would greatly enhance my sissification of you. Now...curtsey for Mommy and fetch me your lacy pinafore." "Yes, Mommy Dearest." And with that, little Percy, now clearly frightened at what might happen to him if he disobeyed his beautiful Stepmother, demurely took the lacy hems of his exposed pantaloons, dropped his knee deeply, held his position momentarily, and slowly regained his position of attention. His Stepmother, without comment, dismissed Percy with a wave of Her hand, imploring him to "Hurry, Percy, but take mincing steps and hold out your right wrist limply...like a feminine Little Girl. Percy obediently flexed his right wrist, displaying the hated (?) sissy trademark gesture of a limp-wristed pantywaist. When the still limp-wristed pantywaist returned, he was gently cradling the frothy confection of white sheer cotton gauze and ruffled white lace full pinafore in his left hand. Quickly, his Stepmother ensnared Percy in the hated (?) garment. The puffed sleeves had white lace edging, and the apron had an expansive wide white lace trim as well. And the pale pink satin ribbon ran thru the middle of the wide white lace. The large bow was tied in the back and Percy's wide white ruffled lace ascot was pulled out and positioned prominently over the bodice of the pinafore. But this pinafore had a triple layer of stiff white tulle attached to the inside to give it a semi-bouffant look...not unlike a small petticoat. When Percy heard the rustle and swish of the tulle, it unnerved him. It was yet another telltale sign that what HE was wearing was undeniably and unmistakably....feminine. "The adorable attached pettiskirt, Percy, should enhance your ability to perform a more perfect curtsey. Now...practice. Gently grasp the skirts of your pinny and curtsey for Mommy Dearest." Meekly, Percy complied. "Again, only this time take the skirts of your pinny more daintily...like a real sissy." She smiled mockingly, triumphantly. Percy's face burned with anger...with resentment...and yes, with fear...
