Ted Evans had some tough times after he exited the military. Two tours
of duty in war zones had taken its toll on his ability to fit in back in
the states. One thing led to another and he ended up homeless, partly
due to the fact that the country was in the midst of a deep recession
and jobs were hard to find. It wasn't so bad in the spring and summer
but as the weather got colder in late fall, he had reached rock bottom
and he knew that he had to do something about his life. First and
foremost he needed to get a job and a warm place to stay in the winter.
One morning as the sun rose, Ted woke up after spending the night on a
park bench. He had covered himself with newspapers and when he opened
his eyes, he could see the paper an inch away from his face. He was
amused to see that the employment section was over his eyes and directly
in front of him was an ad that said:
"Man manager wanted at the Brugier estate. Must be single, willing to
live on the premises, able to travel and be of elegant demeanor.
Familiarity with fashion a plus. Will train as necessary."
Wow, an estate manager, Ted exclaimed. It did seem like the kind of job
that he could do. He was single and he certainly would be happy to live
on the estate and he had an elegant demeanor after being trained in the
military. He liked traveling, and with all the time he has spent on the
street he is probably as familiar with fashion as anybody. Perhaps this
was an omen. He sat up and excitedly felt through his pockets to see if
he had any change. Luckily he found a quarter - another good omen - and
he went to a pay phone in a nearby tobacco shop and dialed the number.
"Hello, Linda Dish, Brugier estate," a woman's voice said.
"Hello, I'm answering the ad for a manager."
"Manager?"
"Yes, manager. In yesterday's paper."
"Yesterday's paper? Really. I thought we had filled that post, but I
guess not. That job is usually handled by corporate. Can you come by in
an hour? By then I'll round up someone from that side of things to
interview you."
"Sure, great."
"What's your name?"
"Ted Evans."
"Do you know how to find us?"
"No," Ted said.
The woman gave him the address and said, "When you get here, use the
servant's entrance to the left of the main gate."
"See you shortly."
Ted hung up and was elated. Finally, a positive step forward in his
life. He had a vision of himself running the estate. Making everything
precise like clockwork. It was a career he had never thought about, but
it was consistent with the rigorous training he had had as a soldier.
The owner of the candy shop showed Ted where the estate was on a map and
loaned him bus fare to get to the interview. "I'll pay you back ten
times over," Ted said, "when I get this job. It's my destiny. Ted Evans,
Estate Manager!"
***
When Ted got off the bus he easily found the estate and entered the
servants entrance. When he got to the door he rang a bell and was
greeted by the same woman, Linda Dish, he had spoken to.
"Ted Evans?" she asked.
"Yes, that's me."
"After your call I was finally able to speak to corporate and they told
me that the position was filled last week. I'm sorry if you've travelled
all this way for nothing. I'll give you some money for your time."
Shocked, Ted said, "But, I have the ad right here." He showed the
newspaper to the woman.
After looking it over, she laughed and said, "I see what happened. The
"Wo" from "Woman" has been torn off the page. That's why you thought it
was "man." So yes, we're looking for a woman to be one of the wardrobe
managers for Madame Brugier. She has several women assisting her in that
capacity, each with a different role."
"Look, ma'am, I need a job so bad I can't tell you. I'm an ex-military
with a lot of combat experience and I'm sure I could excel in this job."
"Oh, really now? The wardrobe manager we seek is in charge of all the
bras and panties in Madame Brugier's household. That includes her and
her two nieces who live here. All of her wardrobe managers to date have
been women for obvious reasons. I can't imagine that a man such as
yourself would feel comfortable with the responsibilities of a bra and
panty manager."
"I can see why you'd say that and I do admit that my prior experience
with bras and panties is in taking them off of women, but I've reached a
point in my life where I know that I can rise up to succeed in facing
any challenge including the managing of Madame Brugier's bras and
panties. She'll be quite pleased by my great organizational skills. For
someone who's been in mortal combat in two wars, I'm sure there is
nothing about organizing bras and panties that is as difficult and
challenging."
At that moment, a phone buzzed on the desk and the woman answered it.
"Yes, Madam Brugier."
"I'm almost done."
"Yes, an applicant for the wardrobe job is here."
"It's not a she. It's a he. The paper was ripped and he thought the job
was for a man and not a woman."
"Yes, it's pretty funny except the poor fellow travelled all the way
here."
Linda listened and said, "He's an ex-military and very anxious to find
work."
"Really, Madam Brugier? Okay, I'll lay it out for him."
"On a trial basis that might work."
"Yes, you should have a look first. I'll send him up."
Linda hung up the phone and said, "This is your lucky day. It seems that
Madam Brugier has a soft spot for soldiers and particularly for the
hardship faced by ex-military in this recession. She would like to meet
with you to see if she is willing to bend the rules a little bit and let
a man into her close circle of wardrobe managers. She is a very good
judge of character and in just a few minutes she'll reach a decision as
to whether or not to hire you on a trial basis. I'm to send you upstairs
to the parlor, where she will meet with you shortly."
"I can't thank you enough," Ted said, fighting to control his emotions.
***
Upstairs in the parlor that was furnished like a palace Ted waited until
Madame Brugier appeared. She was an attractive, finely dressed woman of
moderate height, in her 50's, with a voluptuous figure. "You're quite a
handsome soldier," she said by way of greeting.
"Thank-you, ma'am," Ted said.
"Madame Brugier," she corrected him.
"Thank-you, Madame Brugier, I'm sorry," Ted said.
"Turn around slowly," Madame Brugier said and Ted slowly rotated in
place so she could see each side of him. "You seem very fit and I'm glad
to see that you're on the lean side. You're about five ten?"
"Exactly, Madame Brugier,"
"You'll have to grow out your hair and no facial hair."
"Of course, Madame Brugier."
"I'm a very good judge of character and I can see plainly that you're
someone I can trust. Obviously, women have a more instinctual
understanding of bras and panties than men, since they wear them, but
I'm willing to overlook this, and give you the provisional position as
our bra and panty wardrobe manager. I realize that you'll have a steep
learning curve, so I'll give you three months to show what you're made
of. There are numerous work and social requirements that you'll have to
satisfy for this job and Linda Dish will go over them with you. To be
offered a permanent position after the trial is over I must see that you
fit in to my retinue no differently than my other wardrobe managers."
"I promise you that your faith in me will be well rewarded. I am sure
that I will learn to love this job."
"You may think differently after all your responsibilities are laid out
to you. One last detail you should be aware of is that you'll be
addressed as Miss Evans for the duration of your employment here. I hope
you do not have a problem with that."
Though it was a bit of a shock to Ted, he nonetheless said, "Miss Evans?
I'm fine with that. I can certainly see the logic of why that makes
sense."
***
When Ted rejoined Linda Dish, she said, "I have many things to go over
with you. When you hear everything you might change your mind about
accepting the job."
"I can't imagine that it is tougher than combat duty."
Linda laughs, "I hope not, Ted, since I think your presence will make
for some very amusing and unconventional times for the staff. Sort of
shake things up a bit which we will all enjoy. Anyway, let me go through
these points. First of all, the wardrobe managers are considered to be a
group of women and you'll always comport yourself with this
understanding. Consequently there will be a tendency for everyone to
refer to you sometimes as Miss Evans and other times as one of the
girls, or one of the women. The other managers are Judy who is in charge
of foundation garments, hose, slips, petticoats and crinolines, Cathy
who has control of dresses, skirts and blouses and Sylvia who is for
shoes and coats, and everything else. There is also Sofia who does
makeup and Phyllis who's in charge of jewelry."
"I run a weekly planning meeting with the women that you'll have to
attend. You're a central figure in decision making. Each outfit Madame
Brugier and her nieces wears must be shown off to advantage with the
best possible underwear. You must coordinate with Cathy on what bra and
panty they need to wear with each dress. With Judy, your bra and panty
should be consistent with the girdle or pantyhose she's supplying. You
have to make sure the ladies are wearing the correct bra and panty each
day for the outfit they're wearing and for the mood that they're in. You
have to fetch bras and panties each morning and help them on with them.
You have to hand wash all of the bras and panties. Some of the panties
need to be ironed and you'll be doing that. You'll have to shop for bras
and panties for the ladies, you'll have to give them bra and panty
advice which means that you'll have to know everything there is to know
about every high-end bra and panty for sale in the world. I'll be
sending you, in fact, to some seminars and classes on bras and panties
put on by different manufacturers. You'll have to be available day or
night to take care of any issue at all relating to bras and panties.
Now, do you think that that's a job you can handle?"
"Yes, I would love to try and show you that I can do everything you
mentioned."
"Apart from your specific tasks, you're required to be dignified, and
discreet at all times. If you're ever in a position where you feel
embarrassed by your job, then that should be a hundred percent internal.
No one should be able to see whatever crises you might be feeling about
your work. You'll be treated no differently than the other wardrobe
managers. This often means being ordered about. Told to do something and
not voicing any complaint."
Ted laughs. "That sounds like the military."
"Good. Now you nominally have Saturday evening and Sunday's off as long
as you've properly set up the bras and panties for Sunday morning.
Sometimes there may be exceptions. While we require you to be single,
you are free to date anyone you want on your own time, outside the
estate. Your salary is very generous and you get free room and board.
You'll have a private room in the wing with the other women. Whenever
Madame Brugier, her nieces or I summon you, you need to appear as fast
as possible. Moreover, all the women staff curtsey whenever they enter
or leave the presence of Madame Brugier or her nieces. I'll teach you
the proper way to curtsey. One other thing. You'll have to wear the same
uniform as the other women. This consists of a white silk blouse and
either black velvet slacks or a black velvet skirt. You must wear
anklets with the slacks and pantyhose with the skirt. In all cases you
wear mid height heel black shoes. I assume that you'll prefer the slacks
to the skirt, but anytime you feel differently let me know. While
normally our women must wear bras for the sake of modesty, in your case
I'll let you wear a camisole under your blouse. If you choose to wear a
bra instead, that is fine with me. You can also, of course, wear a bra
underneath the camisole if you prefer."
It was clear to Ted that he was going to be challenged at the start to
make sure there wouldn't be any problems later.
"I agree that it's best if I wear slacks and I'm happy to wear a
camisole, Linda. I'll have to wait and see about a bra. After I get to
know the other women and begin to fit in, I'll revisit the question."
"Good. I'm afraid that one gesture toward the feminine you'll have to do
at some point, probably the next time you get your hair styled, is have
your fingernails professionally manicured, and fingernail polish
applied. You see all the girls wear the same pink nail polish, since
Madame Brugier prefers a degree of uniformity among her girls. As
preparation for this step, you should allow your fingernails to grow out
more. For example, see how long my fingernails are? You should match
this. I'll give you some clear nail polish in the meantime that will
strengthen your mails and make them less likely to break. As you get
long fingernails you will have no choice but to make some changes in the
way you hold and pick up things and especially how you touch people. As
you'll see it will be very important that you learn not to use your
hands the way men do, which is likely to cause the nails to break and
potentially scratch people.
"I'll do my best to let my nails grow out," Ted said, "and adapt my hand
movements accordingly." Ted made a mental note to study the hand motions
of women so as to gain insight into how they manage not to break nails
under normal circumstances.
"As I said, the main thing at this point is for you to grow out your
hair so that we can send you to the stylist. I'll probably need some
input from Madame Brugier as to when this ought to occur. One final
thing is that Madame Brugier loves to wear perfume and she likes it when
her girls wear the same scent as she does. When you see her in the
morning, as I'll show you, there's a little table on which Madame
Brugier puts the perfume that she's planning to wear that day. So you
put a few dabs on yourself while in her bedroom. I think that this is
just about everything."
"I can't thank you enough, Linda."
"Thank Madame Brugier. But if you grow into this job and do it well,
then we'll all be thanking you."
***
Ted was to formally start work the next day. His meager possessions were
in a suitcase at the bus depot and Linda gave him bus fare to go
retrieve his things. His most prized possession was his dress uniform
and some medals that he had been awarded for heroism. When he got back
to the estate, Linda took him to his room so he could settle in. First
order of business was a good shower to wash away his days as a homeless
person. When he was ready, Linda fetched him several pairs of the velvet
slacks he would wear, several silk blouses, a number of camisoles,
anklets and a pair of mid heels. She also gave him several pairs of
panties. In case he decided to spend his workday in a skirt, Linda
brought him a package of pantyhose as well as a skirt. In exchange she
took all the clothes he had come with, except his uniform, and put them
in the dumpster.
"Get dressed, and then I'll show you around."
Ted found that the panties, of the bloomer type, fit him well. The
comfort offered by the silky material of the panty was a bit of a
surprise to him. This was a well-kept secret that women didn't share
with men! He next considered a lace-trim silk camisole that Linda had
left with him. He saw from the label that it was a Gilda and Pearl and
looked to be very expensive. It was a size large and fit him well. Now
he was ready for the pants and blouse which also fit him reasonably
well. He put on the anklets and the mid height heels. He looked at
himself in the mirror. The outfit had a sophisticated flair that
reminded Ted of old black and white movies with debutantes, perhaps,
Katherine Hepburn. It certainly feminized him to a degree, with one
obvious womanly feature being a hint of lace that peeked out from the
camisole through the silk blouse. But since it was pants and a top, he
felt that he certainly did not look ridiculous. It was all in all a
livable look for him. One that he could grow comfortable with and
hopefully the other wardrobe managers would find acceptable.
Linda came by and said, "You look nice, much better than I could have
predicted. You're obviously a man, but the outfit gives you a kind of
feminine elan that is endearing. I think everyone on the estate is going
to be pleased with what they see. So, now that that is out of the way,
I'm going to take you up to Madame Brugier's closets. Your main focus
there will be the room where she keeps her extensive bra and panty
collection. I'm going to leave you there where you can familiarize
yourself with it. This is no small task since there are hundreds of bras
and panties, but in time you'll become intimately knowledgeable of every
individual bra and panty that she has. You probably will want to make
some notes so I'll get you some paper and a pen. After you've had a
chance to go through her closet I can show you the closets for Madame
Brugier's nieces. There is Lorelei, who is 25 and Cindy who is 19.
You'll find that their bras and panties are very different than those of
Madame Brugier."
Linda showed Ted the layout of Madame Brugier's private suite. A back
entrance led to the closets where her clothes were kept. Inside the bra
and panty closet, Ted was impressed by the many shelves upon which bras
and panties were well displayed. Linda said, "I'll be back in an hour to
escort you to Lorelei and then Cindy's bra and panty closets."
Alone in the closet, Ted examined the many shelves containing neatly
organized panties and bras. He held up the first bra that he could see
and saw that it was a 36DD. Indeed, when he had met Madame Brugier he
could see that she had quite an ample bust. The bra was a cream color
and he saw that it was a Simone Perele bra. Next to it was a panty that
seemed to match. Ted wondered what the distinguishing feature of the bra
and panty was. Clearly the color was one thing and that it had lace
details on it. It was also an underwire bra. That much he knew from the
girls he had dated in his life. He put the bra back and looked at
another one. Once again he could see that he was drawing a blank as to
why this bra was different than any other one apart from color.
Ted stepped back and pondered the situation. He realized now that the
bras were grouped by color already, so that was clearly something he had
to keep in mind. Within each color there was perhaps some sort of system
in place that he'd have to discover. Until he was able to do some
research on bras or get the training that Linda had mentioned, he would
only be able to get a superficial understanding of the bra closet. Ted
now held up a panty and looked at it. Size 6 it said. Panties were
clearly a lot easier to understand than bras. By looking at a half dozen
of them, he could see that they sort of fell into obvious categories
based on how much ones rear end was covered by the panty and by how high
up the waist it went.
One of the panties Ted was looking at turned out to be a thong that had
a tiny pink patch that would cover the vagina. It would be interesting
to see Madame Brugier wearing the thong. In fact, if he heard Linda
correctly, he'd be helping Madame Brugier put on her panties and bra
each morning, so obviously he was going to be able to see how she looked
in all her various bras and panties. While Ted was reflecting on this
somewhat pleasant thought an attractive woman with long, dark black hair
and sharp features entered the closet and introduced herself as Judy.
"Linda said you'd be here."
"Yes, I'm Ted, well actually, Miss Evans, as Linda says I'm to be
called. I think Linda mentioned you to me. You're in charge of
foundation garments?"
"Foundation garments, stockings, slips, petticoats, pantyhose, and
you're the new bra and panty girl." Judy laughed and said, "I'm sorry
but that's what we called the woman who's job you've taken."
"You can still call me that," Ted said. "Linda warned me that I'd be
treated like one of the women, so I'm comfortable with that."
"In that case," Judy said, "I'm so pleased to meet the new bra and panty
girl."
"Likewise," Ted said. "And what are you called?"
"Right, I'm unofficially the girdle girl." Judy laughed and said, "I'm
so sorry. Having a man as the bra and panty girl I find to be kind of
endearing. That a man would have such an interest in ladies underwear
that he fills his days being intimately involved with bras and panties
is sweet. It's really quite flattering to ladies that you're willing to
devote yourself in that way."
"I wouldn't exactly say that I sought a career in bras and panties. It's
more accurate to say that I have no objection to using my skills to help
the ladies of the estate get the bra and panty expertise that they need.
Obviously I have a lot of catching up to do, but I'm determined to be
successful as the bra and panty manager. I also want to work well with
the other ladies and I'm completely open to any advice or suggestions
for how I should carry out my job, please don't hesitate to correct me
if I make a mistake, or anything else."
"I love your attitude, Miss Evans. Certainly, if there are any issues
relating to bras and panties that you'd like to discuss with me, I'm
more than happy to help."
"Thank you."
"The two of us do generally work quite closely together as you can
imagine. Bras and panties complement the foundation garments and hose
that I'm in charge of. When Madame Brugier is wearing a girdle or a
garter belt or even an all-in-one then we have to coordinate pretty
closely. Usually that means deciding on a bra and panty that work well
with the foundation garments."
"I'll make a point of always checking with you or following your lead,"
Ted said.
"I'm sure that as time goes on and you get increasingly familiar with
how ladies choose their underwear, then we'll start to think alike and
quickly come up with the best choices of bra and panty and foundation
garment for any occasion."
"I have so much to learn, but I'm determined to not disappoint Madame
Brugier and I'll do whatever I have to, to come up to speed."
"That's a great attitude to have," Judy said. "We're all lucky because
as far as employers go, Madame Brugier and her nieces are more often
kind than not. Sometimes Madame Brugier may be a bit stern, but she is
always fair and reasonable. Her older niece, Lorelei, you will find to
be quite relaxed and easygoing. The younger niece, Cindy, can be a
sweetheart but also, at times, a little bit mean and even a drama queen.
On rare occasions I've seen wardrobe managers leave her room in tears.
Sometimes this happens when she has had a meltdown caused by one of her
boyfriends. Other times it could be just because she's in a bad mood. No
matter what, she and your other mistresses have absolute power over you,
so you always must obey them, right or wrong. It's not your role to
correct them or to worry about injustice. Usually, the ladies will
recognize all by themselves that they've been unfairly mean to us and
then they'll apologize."
Judy gave Ted an idea of what was in the other rooms that formed the
labyrinth of closets in Madame Brugier's suite, and then departed. Soon
thereafter Linda returned to fetch Ted and show him where Lorelei's bra
and panty closet was. As they walked there she asked Ted how far he had
gotten with Madame Brugier's underwear.
"To be honest, at the first chance I intend to study up on bras to get
an understanding of the types that women wear. Once I'm more attuned to
the subtleties I'll be better able to understand what distinguishes one
bra from another, apart from color and having an underwire. The panties
were a lot clearer to see the different types and I made some notes as
to how the panties were organized in the closet.
They arrived at Lorelei's bra and panty closet and Ted was surprised to
see that it was partly neat and well-ordered and partly in a state of
utter confusion with piles of bras and panties tossed together. "Alas,
Lorelei sometimes comes and takes her own clothing and invariably makes
a mess of things. It will be your job to straighten out her bras and
panties if you find them in a mess."
"I'll be happy to do that. No problem." Ted held up one bra and read,
"34C."
"Yes, she's not as big as her aunt but she still pretty well endowed.
Let's now sneak on over to Cindy's bra and panty closet." Ted memorized
the route through the building they were following. It was going to take
some time until he could orient himself in the large mansion.
Arriving at Mistress Cindy's bra and panty closet, Ted saw that the bra
and panty collection was noticeably more concentrated in bright colorful
shades, particularly of pink and that there was a surfeit of lace on the
bras and panties. Ted held up one bra and saw that it was a 34B.
"Yes, Cindy is not big chested. That partially explains her preference
for comparatively more feminine underwear than Lorelei and Madame
Brugier."
"It's all very interesting," Ted said. "I'll devote myself to
understanding the organization of each of the three bra and panty
closets."
Linda took Ted back to her office where they sat down together. "I need
to run down for you what one of your most common duties will be. So, on
a typical day, Madame Brugier wakes up at 7 AM. That tends to mean that
she'll be getting dressed for the day at 7:45 after she's had breakfast.
She'll hit a button which signals that she's ready to get dressed. You
will have to arrive within minutes with the bra and panty that she's to
wear that day. She'll take off her nightgown when you arrive, so you
should not be surprised to see her naked. You'll help her on with her
panties and then her bra and then Judy should be there to help her on
with her girdle or pantyhose or whatever she's wearing and then onto
Cathy for her dress or skirt and blouse, Sylvia for her shoes, Sofia for
her makeup and Phyllis for her jewelry. As soon as you've gotten her bra
on, you're free to go to be ready to help Lorelei and Cindy in the same
way. You'll have to become quite adept having the three sets of bras and
panties available to put on the women at short notice. When all three
wake up at the same time, which has happened, but luckily not too often,
the wardrobe managers have a rough morning running between them so they
don't have to wait too long.
"You also need to handwash the bras and panties each day. I'll show you
how and where to do that. You'll also have a weekly schedule that shows
you when the women are liable to need a change of bra and/or panty on
any given day. For example, if they're going to go running, they'll need
you to show up with their sports bra. If they're going out in the
evening they often change their bra and panty with the change in outfit.
Much of the coordination here is worked out in our weekly meeting and
then as modifications are made during the week, we incorporate them into
the plans."
"Before I forget, let me teach you how to curtsey. You must never forget
to do it. It should become second nature to you, a reflex the moment you
see Madame Brugier, Mistress Lorelei or Mistress Cindy. Even if you pass
them in the halls, boom! Curtsey until they pass you by. It's probably
helpful to pretend that you're living in a castle and she's the Queen."
Linda then demonstrated the curtsey. The right foot back behind the
left, bent knees and lowered head. "Now you try it."
Ted imitated Linda as best he could. It was a movement that he was not
accustomed to. But after some practice he started getting the hang of
it.
"I think that's good enough at the start. As time goes on you'll get
closer and closer to perfection. It is a kind of silly and archaic
tradition around here, but Madame Brugier thinks it's important to mark
the boundary between her world and ours and this is one way to do it."
"Thank you Linda. I don't mind curtseying if that's what the boss
prefers!"
Linda smiled and said, "I've taken the liberty of leaving some books in
your room for you to study. There also is a computer so that you can get
additional information over the internet. One activity that you'll find
yourself doing is going through the lingerie sections of stores such as
Saks Fifth and Nordstrom to keep up to date on available styles. There
are also manufacturer websites you should go to and many other industry
websites. You will find yourself being immersed in ladies underwear up
to your ears. I'll help you through your first day tomorrow and maybe
the next one. Hopefully I'll see you catching on by then. Our first
group meeting is in five days so we can all get on the same page then."
Linda discussed the meal situation with Ted. The wardrobe managers ate
together for breakfast. He was free to have lunch and dinner whenever he
wanted to at either the kitchen or at local restaurants, as long as he
coordinated his meals with the daily schedule of the mistresses. There
was no formal get together for lunch and dinner, though the ladies
informally met from time to time. Linda escorted Ted to the kitchen
where she left him and arranged to meet him at breakfast the next
morning. Ted found a pot of soup and a stew and helped himself to the
best dinner he had had in months.
Ted returned to his room where he saw that there was a large stack of
books on his table. "The History of the Bra," "Panties Please," "The
Bra: An Intimate Look at Breast Support," "A Home for Our Breasts," "The
Big Book of Boobs and Bras," "A Field Guide to Matching Bras with
Panties." Beyond delighted to have a nice clean and comfortable bed to
sleep in after months on park benches, Ted settled into his evening
reading the books and examining the pictures. He found the subject
matter to be extraordinarily interesting and especially enjoyed thinking
and reading about how breasts settle themselves into bras. It's a nice
bit of engineering and he felt for sure that he was going to grow to
really enjoy working with the breasts of the three ladies in the coming
months and possibly years.
Before he went to sleep he was also able to spend some time considering
panties. As garments go, he found panties to be particularly
interesting. He discovered that there is more to them than meets the
eye. How they cling to the body and particularly comport themselves at
the entrance to the vagina was eye-opening to say the least. No less
fascinating were such subjects as panty line and he especially enjoyed
thinking about and considering the different ways that panties do or do
not cover the butts of women. From bloomers to thongs and everything in
the middle it was a subject that raised his interest. Yes, Ted was
looking forward to making sure that the panties he supplied to the
ladies did the job they were designed to do.
***
The next morning Ted got up early and over breakfast was introduced to
the entire staff. A special table was set aside for the wardrobe
managers where he ate with Judy, Cathy, Sylvia. Sofia and Phyllis. The
six of them were dressed in the uniform of either black slacks or skirt
and white blouses. Each of the ladies in their own way were filled with
energy and self-confidence concerning their role in Madame Brugier's
estate. As soon as Ted joined them, Cathy, a petite blonde woman said,
"Let's just go right to the elephant in the room. You're a man in charge
of panties and bras. Is that in any way going to be a handicap for you?"
"It's a fair question," Ted said. "From my point of view, the issue
isn't about a man working with bras and panties, it's about can I gain
the knowledge I need to do a good job even though I don't have firsthand
experience wearing bras and panties. Actually, I should correct that,
Linda has given me panties to wear, so I'm wearing panties now for the
first time. To get back to your question, my answer is, no, I don't
think that my being a man provides a fundamental limit on how well I can
be the bra and panty girl. As I've been saying, I've been in tougher
situations in combat so I think I can adapt to the present
circumstances."
"That's a good answer," Cathy said.
"We see that Linda allowed you to wear a camisole instead of a bra,"
Sofia said, "but in view of what you just said, I would think that you'd
probably want to wear a bra so that you could better experience what
women feel." Sofia was the tallest of the women, about Ted's height with
a reddish orange hair. "Occasionally you'll have to work with Madame
Brugier or her nieces, on the comfort of their bras. You might order a
new one and then when she's wearing it and not finding it comfortable,
you'll have to see whether changing sizes could alleviate the problem.
So judging how a bra looks and feels on a woman is an important part of
your job. By wearing a bra, you'll gain considerable insight into the
subject."
"I'm glad you said that," Ted said. "I had told Linda that I would hold
off on making a decision about wearing a bra until I had interacted with
my counterparts. From what you've said I see that it might be a good
idea. What do the rest of you think?"
The women talked among themselves and after a brief discussion, Sofia
said, "I think we all agree that there is no harm, and possibly a great
benefit from you wearing a bra."
"Then, I just have to get myself a bra," Ted said, " and then I'll be
happy to start wearing one. I really appreciate your help and input."
"I don't want to step on your toes," Phyllis said, "but do you know how
to get a bra for yourself?"
"No, I don't actually," Ted said. "Last night I started studying bras
pretty intensely and I did read about how to measure to figure out the
correct size, but I've never actually done it. And then I'm not so sure
where I should go to buy a bra and what brand it ought to be. Any help
you can give me I'd appreciate."
"Obviously you have to wear a white bra underneath your white blouse,
like we are," Phyllis said. The five ladies at the table sat up erect
thrusting out their chests so that Ted could get some insights into the
bras they were each wearing. "You can see that we all have different
ideas as to which bra we like. Some of us, like myself, have a rather
unornamented smooth bra essentially a tee-shirt bra, while you see Judy
and Cathy have particularly lacy bras. Since you're new to it, you
probably ought to start with a simple bra like mine and then later, if
you feel like you'd prefer some lace on your bra, you can go that
direction."
"That sounds like a good idea," Ted said.
At that moment Linda came by and said, "I'm glad to see you all getting
along, and especially that you're providing the kind of support for Ted
that will make his transition that much easier."
"Miss Evans has decided that she wants to wear a bra," Cathy said. "To
help her empathize better with how women can decide if a bra is
comfortable or not."
"A really good idea," Linda said.
"I'd like to start with a bra like the one that Phyllis is wearing. I
guess I need to get measured."
"After we get the ladies dressed this morning, I'll help you out Miss
Evans. We'll measure you and get you a nice bra that you can wear."
The call to help dress Madame Brugier was expected any second so the
ladies broke up and went to get ready for their daily tasks. Ted
followed Linda to Madame Brugier's bra and panty closet. While they
walked she said, "This small black evening bag I'm carrying contains a
supply of sanitary napkins. I'll give it to you. You should have it with
you at all times since, particularly for Mistresses Lorelei and Cindy,
whenever they're having their periods you'll need to first put a pad in
their panty before helping them on with it. When they're having their
periods, they also occasionally might need to change panties midday, or
before they go to sleep. In those cases you should be available to help
them. You'll find pads in the purse that are for daytime use and some
thick ones for nighttime. The latter ones you use if you're helping the
ladies change panties just at bedtime. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I think that's pretty clear."
They arrived at the closet and Linda showed Ted a paper that listed the
bra and panty that was needed for that morning. It was a Natori bra in a
plum color. "This has been worked out with the other ladies in the
weekly meeting," Linda said. "I'm not an expert in how bras are
organized here, so we'll have to do a little hunting to find this
particular bra and panty set."
Ted took a look at the paper and said, "I remember that from my scan
through the collection yesterday." He thought a minute and said, "I
think it's over here," and he went through the bras on a particular
shelf containing bras in shades from pink to red and maroon and said,
"here it is, together with the panty!"
"I'm impressed, Ted," Linda said. "You must have some amazing memory
skills."
"It so happens that yesterday I found the white bras to be overwhelming,
there are so many of them, so that I spent most of my time in this
collection. I guess the pretty pinks and reds attracted me and I
explored through these bras and panties pretty carefully."
"Yes, I can see that the white bras and panties represent a formidable
collection by themselves, but I'm sure once you dive into them, you'll
figure out how to negotiate your way through them." As we waited for a
signal from Madame Brugier to start helping her to dress, Linda said,
"Madame Brugier has a heavy workload of meetings and events that she has
to attend. Helping her to dress gets her out of here in less than half
the time it would take if she had to do it all herself. On days when she
has to change her outfit, you can imagine how much of a difference can
be made by our team of ladies. Ted and Linda heard a buzzing sound, and
Linda showed Ted that a code "MB" had appeared on a phone she was
carrying. "I'll give this to you after we're done. Remember to curtsey
when we enter the bedroom!"
Linda softly knocked on the door to Madame Brugier's bedroom and entered
with Ted following behind her. Madame had just taken off her nightgown
and was standing naked in the center of the room. Linda with Ted next to
her curtsied and Linda said, "Miss Evans is here with your bra and panty
for today."
Ted took in the remarkable figure of Madame Brugier. Indeed her breasts
were DD and very nicely formed on her chest. Her hips were well shaped
for a woman of her age and she was quite fit. "Miss Evans help Madame
Brugier on with her panties."
Ted stood next to Madame Brugier and held open the panties. "A bit
lower, Miss Evans, near her shins," Linda said, and Ted bent all the way
over to keep them low. Madame Brugier's vagina covered in a triangular
patch of hair was inches from his face. She carefully put one foot in
the open panty and then lightly holding onto Ted's shoulder stepped her
other foot into the panty. "Pull them up, Miss Evans."
Still holding onto the waist band of the panties, Ted gently pulled them
up Madame Brugier's legs and across her tush until they covered her
vagina and were at her hips.
"Good," Miss Evans, Madame Brugier said. "Now my bra."
Ted held the bra by its straps and Madame Brugier put her arms through
them and Ted slid the bra cups toward her breasts. He was hesitant to
touch her breasts but Linda said, "All the way, Miss Evans. Get her
breasts into the cups, then go behind her and clip her bra."
Ted moved the bra up to Madame Brugier's large breasts and pushed the
underwire against her chest so her boobs fell into the cups. Then he
went behind her and fastened the bra. "Madame Brugier, which row of
clips?"
Linda said, "I'm sorry Madame Brugier, but Miss Evans is still learning
about bras." To Ted she said, "Secure the bra with the first row that
just grabs her chest. As bras age this can move from the outer row
toward the inner row."
Ted put the ends of the bra together and saw that it fit best on the
tightest row so he clipped it there. "Make sure the label is smooth,"
Linda said, and Ted used his fingers to smooth it across Madame
Brugier's back. Now that the bra was on, Madame Brugier made a slight
adjustment of the positions of her boobs. Already waiting in the wings
was Judy who was holding a pair of pantyhose. She walked into the room
and curtsied and Madame Brugier sat down. Judy kneeled down at her feet
and rolled up the two legs of the pantyhose and slipped them over
Madame's toes and gently pulled them up her leg, after first making sure
they were correctly covering her feet. Linda nudged Ted and they both
curtsied and went over to a small table where there was a bottle of
perfume. Ted watched as Linda spritzed some on her neck and Ted then did
the same.
Once they were gone, Linda said, "I think she was very pleased with your
approach."
"Whew, I'm so pleased to hear that," Ted said. As they walked together
Ted became aware of his scent. He had never worn perfume before, but he
found the pretty odor to be pleasant.
"One reason I had you watch Judy, is that there might be times when you
have to cover for her. So, today you saw how she helped Madame with her
pantyhose."
"She seemed so adept at it."
"Yes, pantyhose can be tricky. That's another item you might want to try
on, so that you see what women feel when they wear their pantyhose."
"Yes, at some point I can definitely see that I'll need to wear
pantyhose."
"That's the spirit, Miss Evans! Now I see that Lorelei is ready to be
dressed. Unlike her Aunt, she usually dresses herself."
Ted followed Linda to Lorelei's bra and panty closet where they searched
and found the bra and panty that was intended for that day. "You can see
how little I know about these closets!" Linda said.
As previously, Linda knocked on the door of Mistress Lorelei's bedroom
and they entered and curtsied. Linda said, "Mistress Lorelei, this is
Miss Evans your new bra and panty girl."
Lorelei broke into a large smile and said, "Miss Evans. My Aunt told me
to expect you. As you'll find out, I often dress myself and sometimes
when something unexpected comes up, I'm perfectly capable of selecting
my own underwear. But if you could make sure my closet is kept neat that
would be wonderful. You've got my bra and panty for today?"
Ted handed them to her. "Before you go let me check the fit." Lorelei
took off her pajamas and while naked put on the panty and then put the
bra over her front and had Ted clip the back for her. She stood in front
of a floor to ceiling mirror and examined herself. She used her hands to
adjust her breasts in the bra cup. "What do you think, Miss Evans?"
Ted was still trying to absorb how beautiful the naked Lorelei was. He
was particularly amazed at the goddess-like beauty of her breasts, now
in her bra. "First and foremost is it comfortable?" Ted said.
"Yes, it is. What about how it looks on me?"
"I think the bra and panty stylistically are a nice fit for you." Ted
looked at Linda for help.
"Miss Evans has made great progress since yesterday in learning about
bras and panties and, in fact, starting tomorrow she'll be wearing a
bra, herself. That should go a long way to helping her offer advice on
comfort and style."
"I see," Lorelei said. "That's nice. I do also like the pretty camisole
that Miss Evans is wearing."
"Some days she very well might wear her bra with her camisole."
To Ted, Lorelei said, "When you get a bra, you also might think about
getting some falsies so you won't have to be an A cup or AA cup. If you
would like to have some shape, a B cup bra might be a nice place for you
to start. You can also buy a padded bra."
To this point Ted had not thought about anything more than wearing a
bra. The idea that he'd cause his blouse to project breasts the same as
the other women was a new idea. He'd have to ask Linda about that.
Judy appeared and curtsied and Ted saw that she was holding a fancy
garter belt that she clipped around Lorelei's waist. Lorelei sat down
and Judy rolled up a stocking and put it on one of her feet, unrolled it
up to her thigh and clipped it to the garter belt. She repeated this for
the second side. The last glimpse Ted had of Lorelei, as Linda was
leading him away, was of a beautiful and sexy 25-year-old woman in a
bra, panties, garter belt and stockings.
On their way to Cindy's suite of rooms, Ted asked Linda if he should get
falsies. "While that's entirely up to you Miss Evans, it certainly makes
sense that you would. How else would you know what it feels like to have
breasts, or what it feels like to be wearing a bra because you have
breasts? Instead of falsies, you might prefer getting breast forms which
have the weight and heft of breasts."
"I guess there is a lot to think about," Ted said.
Ted was intrigued to meet Cindy because of what Judy had said. Linda and
he picked up the bra and panty she was to wear that day and entered her
bedroom and curtsied. Cindy was lying in bed naked with a slim, sexy
figure. Though her breasts were not as large as the other mistresses,
she exuded a sensuality that was seductive. The bra and panty that she
was to wear were bright confections of lace and bows. "I'm not happy
with your curtsey, Miss Evans," Cindy said. "Try it again."
Ted curtsied a second time and Cindy said, "Head lower. Much, much
lower. Get your head lower than your ass. It's as if you're going to
kiss my feet." Cindy stood up and walked over to Ted and faced him. Ted
could tell this was a girl who knew the full power of her sexuality and
he had to apply all his self-control to not show any sign of reaction to
her naked beauty. "Curtsey," she ordered.
Ted tried another curtsy in front of her in which he forced himself to
lower his head so far down he was staring directly at Cindy's feet and
calves. "That's better, but you need to work on it."
"I will, Mistress Cindy," Ted said.
"Give me my panty," Cindy said and Ted handed it to her. She put it on
and then said, "Now my bra." Ted gave that to her and she put it on
herself. Wearing her bra and panties she said, "Auntie says your ex-
military?"
"Yes, Mistress Cindy."
"Why would an ex-military take a job fetching my bras and panties?"
"I thought the job was going to be a manager of the estate."
"That's not an answer, is it?"
"No, it's not. The truth is that when Madame Brugier offered me this
job, I was very happy to get employment. That it has to do with bras and
panties and my taking on the role of Miss Evans is only a difficulty if
I let it be, and I won't. Wearing these clothes, which actually I am
finding I rather like, is not as stressful as being in combat. When I am
fully up to speed with my knowledge of bras and panties, then I think
that I'll be a very helpful and useful member of the staff."
"I like you, Miss Evans. I like that you understand your place and I can
see why my Aunt hired you."
"Thank-you, Mistress Cindy," Ted said and he curtsied again lowering his
head as far down as he could go.
***
Linda and Ted headed back to her office. "You have won over Cindy.
That's very encouraging because Madame Brugier would not keep you on
staff if Cindy didn't like you."
"That's good to hear. I think she was testing me and I don't blame her.
Having a man in the role I'm playing in Madame Brugier's household
raises questions of obedience, which she had to get past."
"I can see your point, Miss Evans. As soon as she assured herself of
your subservience, she could relax and accept you as her bra and panty
girl."
"The one other thing is that I need to establish with Mistress Cindy and
the other ladies is that I'm interested and serious about helping them
with their bras and panties. It's not a flippant thing for me. I do care
that I provide the best possible experience for them."
"With that attitude, we are all lucky that you've joined us, Miss
Evans!"
In her office, Linda filled out some of the details of the job that she
hadn't gotten to before. Sometimes the ladies will tell you that they
want a new bra or panty. There are lots of reasons why. It's your job to
figure out exactly what bra and panty they desire and then purchase it.
You can do that either online or at a store, depending on how soon they
need it. I'll give you a credit card you can use for purchases. When any
one of the ladies is taking a trip, you need to pack a suitcase with the
bras and panties they'll need. Sometimes, Madame Brugier and her nieces
might want to tap into your expertise to help their friends with their
bra and panty needs. You never no. Your job is always to say yes to
whatever they want. Once you feel like you've become a bra and panty
expert, I want you to learn enough to be Judy's backup. That means
understanding pantyhose, girdles, stockings, garter belts, all-in-ones,
and so forth. Foundation garments is a somewhat difficult subject in and
of itself. They are not all created equal and even more so than bras,
they can push a woman's body to a place it really doesn't want to be, or
fail to create the shape the lady wants. Anyway, we'll have Judy give
you a seminar on foundation garments and hose when the time is right."
"Sure, Linda, I'd be happy and excited to expand my knowledge beyond
bras and panties. Is Judy my backup on bras and panties?"
"Yes, she is. Now let's go down to the laundry room. The house maid by
this time has picked up the laundry and she would have set aside all the
panties and bras for you to handwash."
In the basement, there was a bin that held bras and panties. "Since you
are supposed to know which bras and panties go with which of the ladies,
they are mixed together here. The bras are easy to differentiate."
"Because Madame Brugier is a 36DD, Mistress Lorelei is a 34C and
Mistress Cindy is a 34B."
"Very good, Miss Evans. You're a quick study. Now the panties sometimes
can be confusing. The size 7's are Mistress Lorelei's but both Madame
Brugier and Mistress Cindy where size 6. Luckily the styles are pretty
different for the two of them."
"Can't I also see if the panty matches the bra?"
"Yes, good point. But not all the time do panties and bras match."
"Right."
"To wash the underwear, you take them to the sink, and wash them using
the liquid detergent which is kept next to it." Linda had me wash the
few bras and panties that were there and hang them up to dry. "Very good
Miss Evans, I think you're already an expert in washing lingerie."
"Thank you, Linda."
Leaving the basement, Linda gave Greg a tour of some of the rooms where
he might be needed. The ballroom, the living room, parlor, music room
and others. "You never know when you might be called to run to the
ballroom, because somebody has lost their bra!" Linda said, laughing.
"There are wild parties here?"
"As part of the staff we don't like to acknowledge that the behavior of
some of the guests that the family invites leaves a lot to be desired.
We just go about our duties. It's not our role to protest, even if it
creates extra work for us. Anyway, do you have any questions, Miss
Evans?"
"I don't think so."
"Good. Let me measure you for a bra before I forget."
Linda found a tape measure and put it around Ted's chest. "Your band
width is 36 just like Madame Brugier. Technically you could wear her
bras, except there is such a large mismatch in cup size. Let's take a
quick trip to the bra shop and you'll see the place where you'll also
most likely be ordering the bras and panties that you need for Madame
Brugier and her nieces.
***
Before they left for their adventure, Linda had Ted shave his chest and
underarms. "That's appropriate if you're going to be wearing bras from
now on." Dressed as he was in his blouse, pants and heels, Ted felt a
little uncomfortable walking through the streets and taking a bus to get
to the bra shop. But all such emotions he kept inside. It was really no
different than summoning up his courage on the battlefield. You look for
an inner strength to get you through each moment that comes. In this
case, each glance from people who are checking out the guy wearing a
woman's blouse and heels. To her credit, Linda did not act like there
was anything for Ted to be concerned about. Her lack of interest in what
others were thinking helped him feel the same way.
At the bra shop, Linda introduced Ted to Matilda, a woman of about 60
who is the owner. "Matilda, you'll never guess but this is Miss Evans,
the new bra and panty girl for Madame Brugier."
Matilda did a double take and said, "A pleasure to meet you. You're one
of them I take it?"
"Them?"
"Boys who love to dress up as girls."
"I haven't really been that kind of boy. But, now as part of the job,
I'm expected to dress like the other managers, so I do what I'm supposed
to do."
"In fact, we're here today to find some bras for Miss Evans," Linda
said.
"She's a 36A I'll guess."
"That's exactly right, except that Miss Evans and I agree that she
should get a 36B and add falsies or breast forms. It's a good idea for
her to have some kind of shape like the other women. Not necessarily big
boobs, at least not yet, but enough to let her have a somewhat more
feminine presence."
"So, a 36B is what we'll get," Matilda said. "What kind of bra do you
want? For example, underwire? balconette?, demi cup?"
"I'm not totally sure, but I believe that an underwire, tee shirt bra,
is best for right now. And it should be white," Ted said.
"Good choice for your first bra," Matilda said, and went into a back
room and came back a short while later with three, white, 36B bras that
would appear smooth under Ted's blouse. "Yes, I think any one of these
bras would be appropriate, what do you think Miss Evans?"
"They all look good to me."
"You should try them on and see which one is most comfortable."
Ted went into the small changing room and came back out a few minutes
later wearing the first of the three bras. "This is my very first time
wearing a bra," Ted said with some amusement. "I must say it's pretty
comfortable."
"Slip these breast forms into your cups," Matilda said, handing him two
life-like silicone breasts.
"Wow," Ted said. "They look so real."
"You have the option of attaching them to your chest, though that
requires some care. I'll give you the instructions so you can experiment
with that if you want to."
Ted put the breast forms in his bra and said, "This is remarkably
helpful in enabling me to feel the way women do with their breasts and
bras."
"You look very nice, Miss Evans," Linda said. "Try the other bras on and
see which bra is most comfortable."
A few minutes later Ted returned wearing another white smooth bra. "It's
about as comfortable as the first one."
Ted tried on the third one and it too was comfortable. "So we'll buy all
three," Linda said. "You can leave this bra on. Keep your breast forms
in the cups and put your camisole and blouse back on and we'll see how
nice you look."
Ted did as Linda said and came out of the dressing room with his same
outfit, but now showing a modest pair of breasts. Ted gained
considerable insight into how women experience the world by noting his
appearance in the mirror. For him, especially, it was clear that having
breasts went a long way toward equalizing his place in the world with
that of women in general. In other words, he could see that with breasts
he entered a place where he could be considered to be a woman, and that
was something that all women shared in common. Linda and Ted said their
goodbyes to Matilda and headed back to the estate.
***
When Ted showed up at breakfast the next day, wearing his bra with
breast forms, his new womanly appearance became the central topic of
conversation, "Congratulations, Miss Evans, I think you're brave to
acquire a womanly chest," Phyllis said.
"You look just like any of us, with your breasts in your bra gently
pushing out your white silk blouse. Women love this look, we love the
way it subtly and sexily proclaims our womanhood to the world. And now
you get to share those feelings with us," Judy said.
Ted stared down at his front to fully absorb what the women were talking
about. "I see what you mean," Ted said. "This is very helpful for
understanding how women feel and this should definitely allow me to
better serve Madame Brugier and Mistresses Lorelei and Cindy."
"Perhaps you can see that one step further is to wear a bra with a
little lace on the cups," Cathy said. She pointed to herself. "You see
that where my breasts push out my blouse, you can see the lace of my
bra. It's another way of expressing femininity that you might like to
experience."
"Thank you, Cathy. I thank all of you. I find this discussion very
helpful and I'll consider making some additional moves to learn about
how women feel."
***
With Linda passively observing him, Ted successfully carried out his
tasks during his second day on the job. When they were done, he met with
Judy with the goal of acquiring an overview of her part of the wardrobe.
"We need to help each other out," Judy said. "If one of us is sick or
has to go to the doctor, it's important that we can cover for each
other. Madame Brugier also allows us to swap so we can go to events like
concerts or go on an occasional date that doesn't fall on Saturday night
or Sunday. Sofia and Phyllis cover for each other as do Cathy and
Sylvia."
The first step of Ted's education was to take him into the foundation
closet where Judy showed him the collection of Madame Brugier's girdles
both open bottom and panty, corsets, garter belts, waist clinchers,
bodysuits and thigh shapers. There was also pantyhose and stockings,
slips, petticoats and crinolines. The latter hung in a colorful display
in a dozen different pastel shades. "I don't know where to begin in
describing the many different occasions where Madame Brugier may elect
to wear a girdle of one sort or another with stockings, or pantyhose,
which itself can be control top or shear or any number of other
variations. Sometimes she wears corsets that help her create a nice
shape for some of her gowns. If any of her pantyhose or stockings has a
run, you get rid of them. You've seen me help Madame Brugier put on her
pantyhose. You'll have to learn the same skill, and also help her on
with her girdles or her all-in-ones. Sometimes you have to do some
tugging on them to get them right, so don't be shy."
"Wow, there is so much to take in," Ted said, "but I will study all of
the items in this closet once I get a chance!"
***
Each day after dinner, Ted worked late into the evenings learning as
much as he could about women's lingerie. A few nights he positioned
himself in Madame Brugier's bra and panty closet and systematically went
through every bra and panty that was there. He researched the
characteristics of each bra and panty type and he used this knowledge to
classify Madame Brugier's lingerie. He developed a mental picture of the
entire closet with some sketches on a paper to help him remember the
details. He rapidly got to the point that he could quickly find any
particular bra and panty that Madame Brugier would want to wear. When he
had mastered Madame Brugier's bras and panties, he then shifted his
attention to that of Mistresses Lorelei and Cindy. Once that was done,
he continued his study of bras and their aesthetics and structural
aspects so that he'd eventually be able to give real advice on bras to
his mistresses, if they were to ask him. He also strived to keep himself
up to date in all the new bras and panties that were introduced during
the year.
Beginning with his third day, Ted was on his own. He was able to figure
out from the previous meeting notes which bras and panties he needed to
have each day. In the course of his morning visit to the ladies, Ted
began to acquire considerable firsthand experience of how Madame Brugier
and Mistresses Lorelei and Cindy's breasts are held in the different
bras. These, he imagined, translated into a variety of looks for the
dresses and blouses that they wore. Of course, considering the fact that
Madame Brugier was a DD, her breasts were a significant aspect of any
outfit she wore. Ted was especially fascinated by how these large
breasts occupied her DD cup bras. Sometimes her breasts were held a bit
further apart, and sometimes closer together creating a nice view with
tops that allowed for d?collet?. Some of the bras minimized her DD
breasts, while others kept them high with an admirable projection.
In the case of the breasts and bras of mistresses Lorelei and Cindy,
Ted found it fascinating to see how the young supple breasts on their
smooth bodies were harnessed by their bras. Lorelei's large breasts made
for many interesting displays, and even Cindy's smaller breasts had a
variety of looks depending on the bra that she wore. Ted enjoyed
especially observing the cute way her B cup breasts settled into the
pretty lacy bras that she preferred.
When attending his first weekly meeting to map out the next weeks
clothing, he listened in fascination as the women explained which
outfits they proposed that their mistresses wear each day. They worked
from the outside in, first selecting dresses, blouses and skirts, then
shoes and accessories including jewelry. Then they went to consider the
underwear relying heavily on the expertise of Judy and himself. A big
concern was how the rear end and breasts of the ladies would appear in a
given outfit depending on which choices were made for foundation
garments and bras.
For example, would Mistress Cindy want a push up bra to get a bit more
bosom for a certain top, or would Mistress Lorelei like to show off her
cleavage with a certain low top? Would Madame Brugier want her butt
shaped with a girdle or with control top pantyhose for a particular
skirt. Or, if she wore a girdle then she could avail herself of a
certain pair of stockings whose design or color could not be obtained
via pantyhose. The conversation was at a high level and Ted found his
brain hurting after a little while. The other ladies of the group were
sharp and remarkably knowledgeable and he could see what a high bar they
set. The experience helped energize him to work even harder to get to
know every aspect of bras and panties he could. The internet was
particularly useful in supplying many nice vivid photos of bras in
action holding up breasts of every size. He studied the photos carefully
and created files containing different looks that he might one day need
to apply to the ladies.
***
A few days hence there was to be a ball that all three ladies would be
attending in the evening. It was going to be a hectic night, but Ted
prepared himself for it mentally. He had each of the bras and panties
ready to go and who ever rang first he'd be ready to help them get
dressed. The bras were strapless and Ted read online as much as he could
about them. He asked Judy if there was any secret to putting on
strapless bras and she said that he'd have to approach the ladies from
behind, pass the bra across their fronts, capture their breasts in the
bra and then slide his hands around to secure the straps together across
their backs. It was a tricky maneuver and he'd have to hope it went
well. The thought that he might drop the bra or have his hands touch
their breasts weighed on his mind and he was very nervous.
When the evening came to help dress the ladies, Mistress Lorelei was
first and he rushed to her room. Her panty for the evening was a lacy
pink bikini type that suggested to Ted that she thought it might end up
being seen that night by her boyfriend. Ted held out the panty for
Mistress Lorelei to step into. She put one leg in and then another and
then said, "You better put a pad in my panty. Not an overnight, just a
thin one to be on the safe side."
"Yes Mistress," Ted said, and he took out a pad from his purse and put
it in the panty and then pulled it up to Mistress Lorelei's waist. "Now
for your bra. It's a strapless."
"Yes, I know. We're all wearing our gowns tonight for a debutante ball."
"That sounds like fun."
"Yes, it's nice to dress up and feel especially pretty sometimes. I love
my gown."
With Madame Lorelei wearing just her panties, Ted stood behind her and
with one hand passed the bra across the front of her and caught it with
his other hand. Now he pulled the bra ends back to clip them and
realized that if he wasn't careful her boobs wouldn't be in the cups.
Now he tried to wrestle her breasts into the cups but it was impossible
to do so without being able to see them because he was standing behind
her. He made a few haphazard efforts to get the breasts in the cups
which caused Madame Lorelei to begin laughing and finally led to her
convulsing with laughter. "I'm so sorry, Mistress Lorelei," Ted said,
alarmed, "I'm having trouble getting your breasts in the bra cups."
"You can use your hands to maneuver my breasts. That's the easiest way.
I won't be offended."
Ted did what she said. First he slid his hands so they were on the two
bra cups and then he was able to feel her breasts with his hands and
then get the bra on them. Then he slipped his hands around to her back
keeping the bra taut and was able to clip the clips. "I'm so sorry. This
was a new experience for me."
"Don't think anything of it,. It was so amusing."
Judy joined them holding a garter belt, stockings and a large white
crinoline. After helping Mistress Lorelei put on her garter belt and
stockings, she held out the crinoline which Mistress Lorelei stepped
into and Judy pulled up to her waist. Then immediately, Cathy came out
with a beautiful, light green gown that she lowered over Mistress
Lorelei's head. Ted saw the signal that Madame Brugier was ready so he
then left for her bedroom.
He entered and curtsied as Madame Brugier dropped her nightgown to the
floor and was naked. Ted picked up the gown, put it on a chair and held
out the panties for Madame to step into. He could see that her pubies
were a bit damp as if she had just taken a shower. He pulled up her
panties over her tush to her waist and stepped behind her with the bra.
"It's a strapless bra, Madame Brugier, so I have to get it on you from
behind."
"Sure, Miss Evans."
"I may have to touch you a bit to get it on right."
"You don't have to mention it. Whatever is necessary, go ahead."
"Yes, Madame Brugier."
As he had done with Mistress Lorelei, Ted held a bra cup in one hand and
encircled Madame Brugier with his other arm to get his fingers on the
other cup. He then pulled in toward her breasts and used his fingers to
lift up Madame Brugier's large breasts into the cups and then quickly
swung his fingers behind her and fastened the clips. She then leaned
forward and jiggled her breasts getting them arranged more comfortably
in the bra. Ted could see that the main reason that the bra was held up
was because of its holding her breasts. As he finished with her, Judy
entered with pantyhose, a slip that she helped Madame put on and then a
crinoline. Cathy entered now with an exquisite sleeveless gown of a
royal blue color and put it over her head. Ted was hoping to see the
rest of the operation, with shoes, makeup and jewelry but he was
notified that he had to run along to Mistress Cindy's chamber.
When Ted entered Mistress Cindy's bedroom she was naked and posing in
front of a full-length mirror. He curtsied and stood holding the bra and
panty waiting for her to say she was ready. He watched as she put her
hand under her breasts and pushed them up slightly. "What do you think,
Miss Evans, should I get bigger boobs?"
The women in his group had made clear to him that sometimes the
mistresses engaged them in conversations. In that case, they should not
feel like they cannot participate. "You want my honest opinion?"
"Yes, of course, I do."
"Well, I think your breasts are perfect the way they are."
"Why are you so sure about that?"
"Because, for my mind, the issue is not how big our breasts are, it's
just having them, as against not having them. You've got breasts. That's
the lucky thing."
Surprised, Mistress Cindy said, "That's a very interesting answer, but I
think that it's not the kind of answer that women would give. We know we
have breasts, so it's not likely that we're thinking we're lucky. We
can't envision life without them. Their size is then a real question for
us, mainly driven by the complicated social and biological interactions
between the sexes. But your answer reveals that you're having some
gender issues yourself. What's going on here Miss Evans?"
"I'm sorry."
"No, tell me. I detect a note of jealousy in your voice."
"It's just that even in the short time I've worked here with the ladies
helping you and Mistress Lorelei and Madame Brugier, I've developed a
bit of envy. You all know what it's like to feel like a woman and I have
to work on it. For example, I decided to wear a bra because I was
missing out on so much by never having worn won. Now that I wear a bra
with breast forms, I feel like I have a lot more empathy and
understanding of this aspect of a woman's life. But for me just getting
the bra was the issue, not getting a larger bust. There are many other
aspects of a woman's experience that I'm currently missing out on. To be
honest, I think this limits my effectiveness as the bra and panty girl."
"What other aspects?" Mistress Cindy said.
"Well the most immediate is that I have no experience wearing a skirt
with pantyhose."
"Can you do this?"
"Linda has already given me a skirt and bought me some pantyhose. So I
think maybe the time has come when I ought to try this."
"That's a good idea. I would enjoy seeing you in a skirt and hose. I
think you'll look good."
"Thank you, Mistress Cindy."
"I appreciate your honesty about my breasts. I'm going to carefully
consider your thoughts."
Ted held out the panty for Mistress Cindy and she stepped into it. Her
vagina was shaved and Ted enjoyed examining her cute slit while he was
bent over holding out her panties. Next he stood behind her and used his
hands to set up her strapless bra across her front and then gently moved
it in to capture her small breasts. Her body was warm and smelled
sweetly and her hair was pretty to look at. He fastened the bra and then
watched as Judy came in with pantyhose and a magnificent pink crinoline,
followed by Cathy with a very beautiful pink gown and Sylvia with
matching pink high heels. Since he had nowhere to run to, Ted stayed to
watch Sofia apply some makeup and Phyllis bring some jewelry. When the
ladies were done, the team stepped to the side to look at Mistress
Cindy. She was radiantly beautiful and they all felt proud of their part
in helping make that a reality.
***
Much of the staff assembled in the main foyer of the mansion to watch
the three mistresses leave for their ball. Madame Brugier owned several
cars including a Rolls Royce that they used this night. It was like
watching a movie, Ted thought to himself. The beautiful ladies dressed
for the ball and going to dance with princes. He felt proud that
underneath all that finery, the ladies wore the bras and panties that he
was in charge of. He was part of the inner circle, the most intimate
aspect of the ladies lives. It was a sacred trust they had given to him,
and he would work tirelessly to make sure he gave them the best possible
service. Looking on the scene, he had an epiphany. It was time for him
to go all out in making sure he understood what it felt like to be a
lady. The time had come for him to further his direct experience of a
woman's world. The first step would be to finally wear the skirt and
pantyhose, as he and Mistress Cindy had discussed.
***
The next day at breakfast, Ted said, "I've given it a lot of thought and
I think I would like to wear my skirt tomorrow. I was talking it over
with Mistress Cindy last night and she agrees with me that I stand to
gain a lot of nice insights into women if I take this step. I'm anxious
to remove any obstacles that prevent me from fully appreciating how
Madame Brugier, and the other ladies feel as women and especially how
they feel wearing skirts and dresses."
"I think that's a very nice gesture, Miss Evans," Sofia said. "Of
course, if you wear a skirt you have to wear pantyhose, and that means
that you first have to shave your legs."
"Right, I hadn't thought of that," Ted said. "Tonight I'll shave my
legs. I've watched Judy put pantyhose on Madame Brugier, and I'm excited
to see if I can figure it out for myself."
"It'll be fun to see you tomorrow in a skirt," Judy said.
***
As promised, Ted came to breakfast the next morning with his legs
freshly shaved and wearing shear pantyhose and a skirt. Walking from his
room to the dining room in a skirt and hose, was a fascinating
experience. Besides the interesting swishing of his skirt back and forth
and sideways, the feel of the hose gently massaging his legs was an
unexpected delight. It was amazing that as close as men and women live
to each other, there are all these amazing and wondrous things going on
in the lives of women that men have no clue about.
"So what do you think about wearing a skirt?" Cathy said.
"I must admit that I'm really loving it," Ted said. "There's a kind of
freedom I feel besides a sense of pride in being able to show off my
legs this way."
"You do have cute legs," Sofia said.
"One of the main results of this experience is now I'm wondering what it
feels like to wear a dress."
"You can wear dresses on Saturday night or Sunday," Cathy said.
"First I'll have to buy a dress."
"I'll be happy to help you, Miss Evans," Cathy said. "That is my area of
expertise."
"True. That's so nice of you to offer."
"We'll find a convenient time and do that!"
***
Madame Brugier took notice when Ted walked into her bedroom wearing a
skirt and hose. "I see you're wearing a skirt now, Miss Evans."
"Yes, I thought the time had come when I ought to see what this is
like."
"And what have you concluded?"
"I like it. Skirts are comfortable and actually give me a good feeling.
Wearing pantyhose is also very nice. It feels good on my legs."
"I'm pleased you feel this way. It was a bit progressive of me to take
on a man as a bra and panty girl, so it is quite heartening to see that
you've come to truly understand your role in the household. I'm not sure
a woman could bring the same degree of fresh insight into the job as you
have."
"Thank you, Madame Brugier. It means a lot to me to hear you say that."
Ted curtsied and left to go to Mistress Lorelei.
***
It wasn't long before Ted's hair had grown out to the point that it
needed to be cut and styled. Linda and Madame Brugier conversed about
what kind of look he ought to have, and it was decided that bangs would
look very nice on him. "I'm open to whatever you think is best," Ted
told Linda when she explained that he needed to visit the hairstylist.
"Good," Linda said, and she set up an appointment for Ted at a local
beauty salon for that coming Saturday. Linda looked at Ted's fingernails
and said, "I'm pleased to see that you've grown out your fingernails and
they are well shaped. Now we'll arrange for you to get a manicure and
pedicure. They'll also paint your fingernails the same shade of pink
that the other girls wear."
"I have to tell you the truth, Linda, I'm excited to finally get past
these two hurdles. It'll be helpful to both have a woman's haircut so I
know what a woman feels like looking in the mirror and it'll be very
nice to have long pink fingernails so that I can empathize with how
women use their hands."
***
Saturday proved to be a big day for Ted. He was given the afternoon off
to get his hair and nails done under the watchful eye of Linda. After
some consultation with the stylist a lovely hairdo was developed for Ted
that included bangs. "Since your face is somewhat square and oblong, an
appropriate cut includes long layered bangs in an A shape since this
will help soften and balance your features." The end result was
gratifying to Ted. While not the strict appearance of a woman, the new
hairstyle made his sex somewhat ambiguous. He could be seen perhaps as a
man, perhaps as a woman. That was quite a change from his previous life.
"Are you pleased, Miss Evans?" Linda said.
"I am. This hairstyle definitely is an aid toward allowing me to better
experience a woman's life."
"To go with this hairstyle, we'll get Sofia to develop a makeup routine
for your face. You can then apply this to yourself every day, no
different than the way any typical woman applies makeup when she goes to
work."
"Oh, yes, I would love that. I've been wondering if I was at a point
where I ought to wear some makeup."
"Certainly combined with your new look, make up will further help
emphasize your womanly characteristics,"
With his hair done, Ted moved over to get his mani-pedi. It was fun to
be fussed over by a woman with remarkable skill in preparing his nails.
When it came time to apply polish, she asked Ted if he wanted his toes
done also. "Sure," Ted said, not having realized that this was an
option. When he was done and the polish had dried on his finger and
toenails, Ted remarked to Linda, "This is very nice. I feel like my
hands have become graceful and pretty, even. Another secret in the lives
of women. And looking down at my toes, it's kind of a thrill to see how
pretty they are."
Linda laughed. "I think you've come a long way in absorbing and
understanding the things that women take for granted as part of their
birthright. In fact, many of these things are truly delightful and women
love them, and I'm getting the sense that you love them also."
"That's a very nice way of putting it Linda."
From the beauty salon, Ted and Linda met up with Cathy at a dress shop
that she frequented. "I love that hairstyle, and what pretty hands you
have now," Cathy said. "You continually surprise me Miss Evans! Now we
can find you some nice outfits that you can wear when you don't have to
be in uniform."
"To be honest," Ted said, "I'm a bit at a loss as to what dresses and
skirts I should get. You all must know what you like and dislike, but I
have yet to develop that same womanly sense."
"There's no shame in that," Cathy said. "It's trips like this over many
years that help women formulate their likes and dislikes. This is your
first big shopping adventure as a woman. It'll be a start, and we can
imagine that as time goes on you'll develop a womanly sense of what
styles of dresses and skirts look good on you and help show off your
figure."
"Today, I would love for you and Linda to pick out the clothes you think
I would look good in."
"We're happy to," Linda said, and she and Cathy got down to work. An
hour later, after trying on numerous dresses, skirts and blouses, Ted
had arrived at a small, attractive, wardrobe of ladies clothes. These
would go a long way to providing a platform for him to more fully relate
to the feelings of women, and especially those of his three mistresses.
Back in his room at the mansion, Ted hung up his new clothes. His closet
now had some color in it since he had gotten skirts that were blue and
red and dresses that had some bright floral patterns and were in bright
solid colors. Linda and Cathy had coached Ted on how to mix and match
blouses and skirts, so he now had a number of different looks that he
could vary depending on his mood.
Later that afternoon Sofia came to Ted's room with her makeup kit. "For
the longest time I've wanted to see how you would look with makeup. I'm
so happy the time has arrived!"
"You seem like a magician to me, the way you heighten the beauty of our
mistresses."
"Thank you, Miss Evans."
"If you can make me even the tiniest bit prettier, I'll be thrilled."
"I think I can do more than that. Your new hairstyle has gone a long way
toward softening the shape of your face, giving you a more feminine
look. With some makeup that look will be enhanced." Sofia started to
work on Ted's face. At one point she said, "If you can, you should try
and remember what I'm doing. No doubt you will one day be an expert at
applying makeup to yourself. But it takes time, so be patient."
"I will!" Ted said.
Sofia wouldn't allow him to look into the mirror until she was done, and
when he finally got to look he was flabbergasted at how she had added a
womanly dimension to his face that he had never had before. "I'm
speechless," Ted said.
"To tell you the truth, so am I," Sofia said. "There's a lot more girl
in you than we knew about when you first came to us."
***
That night, Judy tapped on Ted's door and asked him if he would like to
join some of the girls for a drink at a nearby club. Up to this point,
Ted had been so focused on learning and mastering bras and panties, that
he had scarce time to socialize with the ladies outside of mealtimes.
Now, with his newfound wardrobe and the self-confidence he had acquired
in his knowledge of women's underwear, he thought to himself, why not go
out? It would be fun to be with friends for the evening and it was also
a great opportunity to wear one of his new dresses and show off his new
hairdo and makeup.
"I'm so excited!" Ted thought to himself, thinking that this evening
would be unbelievably valuable in giving him insight into what a woman
feels like going about town. He'd be all dolled up posing as a woman, in
a dress and heels and clutching her purse. No male safety net, just a
pure womanly experience no different than one that any of the other
ladies would have.
Ted decided to wear a light blue sheath dress that he had gotten, with
his pantyhose. When he was dressed, he looked in the mirror and admired
himself. The dress was made of a stretchy material that nicely showed
off his bust and he enjoyed his profile view. Looking at the relatively
modest projection of his breasts, Ted remembered the conversation he had
had with Mistress Cindy. He wondered what he might look and feel like if
he had breasts the size of Madame Brugier's.
***
For his first historic venture out into the nightlife as Miss Evans, Ted
was accompanied by the five other lady wardrobe managers. From Ted's
point of view they were an attractive group of women, each with a
pleasant body and face. He was willing to concede that his face might
pass as that of a woman, so that he would be taken to be a woman by
passersby, but he had strong doubts that men would find him attractive.
The women walked along the sidewalk in two groups of three and Ted
walked between Cathy and Judy behind Sylvia, Phyllis and Sofia. He was
acutely aware of the dynamic created by the women. He could see the
figures of the women in front of him as they walked and he was aware
that his steps fell into sync with the women to either side of himself.
His pantyhosed right and left legs were moving as one with those of Judy
and Cathy and he listened to the slight clicking of their heels on the
pavement. A similar pattern had developed in the women ahead of him and
he felt like he was no longer an outsider. In practical terms he was as
much a woman as the others were, and he realized excitedly that he was
now truly seeing the world from the eyes of a woman.
In the days before he was homeless, Ted had been in many a bar, and many
a club with other guys where their major interest was in meeting women.
Now, he found himself on the other side of the chasm. He was one of the
girls who would be observing the men, though, he, personally, was not
interested in meeting men. That did not stop his companions from
commenting on the various male prospects in the club. It was a
revelation to Ted to hear the women discussing men and he appreciated
the fact that this was invaluable toward his understanding of women. For
sure, he would be a better woman for having this kind of experience.
Only later did it occur to him, that perhaps his colleagues had thoughts
about him as a man. In particular, a man who was a bra and panty girl
for Madame Brugier.
At various points during the evening each of the women accompanying Ted
was asked to dance and otherwise made the object of a man's interest. At
one point when Ted was alone at the table, a man came up to him and
asked him to dance. "Probably not a good idea," Ted said, "but I'm
flattered by your interest." The guy did not walk away and Ted had no
idea if he was nearsighted, drunk, or truly thought Ted was attractive.
"C'mon, just one dance?"
Ted looked at the man. He was a couple of inches taller than himself
even wearing his heels and much stockier. "Okay, one dance."
It was a slow dance playing and the man held Ted tightly and led him
around the dance floor. Ted could feel the man's hand over his bra strap
as he gently guided him. The guy was an excellent dancer and Ted had to
concentrate hard figuring out how to do the woman's steps that mirrored
what the man was doing. After awhile Ted got more comfortable and
allowed himself to accept that he was the woman in this instance. As
soon as he did that, he saw that this simple thought opened up a vast
horizon of opportunities to experience a woman's world. Being treated
like a woman, like this man was doing, was a powerful means of allowing
him to feel like he was a woman.
"What's your name," the man asked after a minute.
Ted realized that he couldn't say Ted, so he reflexively said, "Miss
Evans."
The man laughed and said, "Miss Evans? That's a new one on me. I'm Mr.
Stamile."
"I'm sorry, at work they call me Miss Evans. I'm Violet. Violet Evans."
Somehow the word violet had popped into his mind.
"And I'm Steven Stamile."
"Pleasure to meet you, Steven."
"The pleasure is mine, Violet. I love your perfume."
"Thank-you. You're an excellent dancer."
Ted felt a slight increase in pressure as Steven held him, and inspired
by the womanly feeling that had come over him by being held in the arms
of a strong, confident man, Ted rested his head on Steven's shoulder.
When the dance ended, Steven said, "Can I buy you a drink?"
Ted felt a small chill run up his spine. Here he was in his dress and
heels with a man who was obviously finding him attractive. He wondered
if this was a dangerous situation. Would Steven get angry with him if he
found out the truth.
"Well?" Steven said.
"Okay, Steven, a drink would be lovely, but I have to tell you
something." Ted decided that whatever potential jam he would get into by
tricking Steven would be reduced the sooner he mentioned the truth.
"I know, Violet," Steven said, laughing. "I can see what you really are,
but I happen to be the kind of man that prefers girls like yourself."
"Oh, my gosh," Ted said. "Really? It doesn't bother you?"
"Bother me? I love it. It's so interesting and sexy to me."
That such men existed was a revelation to Ted. Now he could see that the
real question was to what extent he would feel comfortable dating a man.
On the dance floor he had felt like a woman and when he did, he enjoyed
the fact that Steven was a man. But what about the times when he felt
like a man? To fully enjoy a relationship with someone like Steven, he
would have to feel like a woman at all times. Before they parted that
night, Steven got "Violet's" phone number and email and said he would
call.
As Ted walked home with the ladies, Cathy asked him, "Who was that
handsome guy you were with?"
"Steven. He asked me to dance and bought me a drink."
"What did you tell him your name was?"
Ted laughed. "Initially I said, Miss Evans, but then I said 'Violet,' it
just popped into my head."
"Violet Evans," Cathy said, "that's a pretty name. We can all call you
Violet instead of Miss Evans."
"Thank you," Ted said. "I though that Steven was a nice guy."
"How will that work, Violet?" Judy asked him.
"I felt like a woman tonight and when I did, I was happy to have the
attention of a man. But that made me feel even more like a woman and
then even happier I was with a man."
"That's very sweet, Violet," Sylvia said, "and I imagine that's the kind
of experience that will help you be a better bra and panty girl."
"I was thinking the same thing," Ted said. "So I'm very happy for this
night. But I guess I really have some decisions to make in the future."
"What do you mean?" Cathy said.
"I'm not so sure I can keep on switching back and forth between feeling
like a woman and feeling like a man. I need to pick one and stick to it,
and since my job requires me to feel like a woman, that is probably the
better choice. But if I want to feel like a woman all the time, then I
have to start thinking about things I can do to help that along."
"You mean ..."
"Yes."
Ted and the five ladies left unsaid what they were all thinking. If Ted
wanted to live his life as a woman, then his body ought to catch up to
where his mind was.
End of Part 1
