"Do you think this is okay?" Becky asked stepping out of her room. "I'm not sure about the way it shows my underwear here on the hip."
"Do you have anything smaller, with string rather than the thick black band thats showing?"
"Like a G-string. No not really, I've always thought if underwear ends up that small why am I bothering?"
"So why are you bothering?"
"Well... They often say that with a little black dress you should go without..."
"Thats not really a little black dress though, its a long skirt and a boob tube. Plus its red!"
"Hey its better than all the other prom dresses I tried."
Becky had spent some time looking for dresses for her law department university ball. She was one of very few girls who had taken this course as it was new to the university. As a result many of the boys took a real shine to her, especially as in her late teens she had bloomed into a really beautiful young woman. A few months before this we had thrown and engagement party that ended up being legendary among not only her friends but the whole university.
The engagement party caused Becky's reputation at university to change dramatically, She was always known as a pretty girl but one who never showed much skin or did anything particularly daring. In our night out to celebrate our engagement she had gone out wearing just her short trench coat and nothing underneath. Her friends spent the whole evening trying to validate just what she was wearing until we confirmed verbally and then showed glimpses of naked skin under the coat. As the evening wore on Becky was receiving more and more attention and seemed to love it so much that it really turned her on. She teased me by suggesting she would strip out the coat if her friends weren't there and I managed to devise a way to get them out the club. Then the real events came after her friends had left and the stories of her daring striptease followed us everywhere long after that evening, peoples videos and pictures circulated online and it was difficult for Becky for a while.
She had spent a few weeks in denial of it all and tried to carry on as if nothing had ever happened. She hoped that because when she stripped naked that because all her friends had been kicked out of the club that they wouldn't believe any stories they heard. But when the videos and pictures started to appear online and on peoples phones it became hard to deny, though most the shots were dark and blurry other people at the club had recognised Becky and then friends recognised her on the videos meaning she'd had a hard time living down that evening's events. She couldn't deny it as there was proof almost everywhere she looked and for a while everywhere she went someone would wolf whistle and ask her for a lap dance or if they could see under her coat.
So then eventually rather than deny it she accepted it and took it on the chin, she began to play on it more and more and though she continued to dress more conservatively she would allow people to pretend she had neglected her underwear or that she would be getting naked later. These ideas soon became a common joke between her friends that never went anywhere and despite being founded in a truth of the past people began to give up hope Becky would do anything like it again. That was until the prom.
Becky had looked at various dresses of various lengths and though I liked the idea of one of the short black ones with no back but she opted for a different approach. When she went out wearing just the coat she had gained a lot of positive comments about her legs that until then she had never been keen to display, she then realised she had great legs and loved peoples positive comments. But she had always felt her best feature was her flat stomach and this prom dress she had chosen would show that off fully. A gorgeous deep red two piece that hugged her form and showed off skin.
The dress was really two elements, a long skirt from hip to toe that was made of light material that flowed elegantly while staying close to her form. Then there was a strapless top that was basically just a tube around her breasts that didn't quite meet at the back where two parallel pieces of string tied and left a few inches gap, clearly showing the lack of a bra or anything else underneath. The concern Becky now had was the skirt had a similar tie around the waistline, it had a slit all the way up one leg that met where two strings tied and left a gap. She had tried to wear her smallest black underwear but it stood out like a sore thumb and her red panties clashed horribly with the rich dark red of the skirt.
"Shall I just go without then?" Becky grinned playfully.
"Well, you've done it before! And everyone always jokes about it!" I encouraged.
"Yeah but I don't think anyone expects it to be true anymore, this will be more obvious."
"You love it." I stated firmly knowing full well she was going to do it anyway.
"I loved the tease last time and its been a good while since my last bit of excitement. But it cant go as far as last time this is my subject ball, with all the people I studied with for three years and all our professors and lecturers too. This is just a tease." Becky explained as she hooked her thumbs in her underwear and slowly lowered it off her hips until it fell under her skirt to the floor and she stepped away from it entirely. "Oh my..." She giggled.
Becky had insisted on walking all the way to the ball which was the other side of town. This meant walking for an hour, at times through busy areas of the city dressed in a suit and Becky's red outfit. She looked stunning with her dark shoulder length hair and make up was immaculate, her finger and toe nails were painted red to match her dress and lipstick and her thick dark eyeshadow brought attention to her stunning sky blue eyes. She complimented her Skirt and top with long black sparkly gloves that covered her arms all the way to her shoulders and her black open toed heels made her taller than I was used to. To top it off she had a black feather boa wrapped around her neck to keep her warm, a pathetic gesture as her entire middle was completely exposed.
It seemed we were walking forever and so many people stared as we walked past. Many made comments but mostly just to each other as they stood in awe of Becky as she confidently walked past having never looked better.
"This slit is very dangerous, the material is so light even the slightest breeze or movement threatens to pull it away!" Becky complained as we hit a quieter stretch of path.
"What can we do?"
"Not a lot. Just learn to enjoy it!" Becky shrugged as we finally approached the old building that was hosting the ball.
"What is this building?" I asked staring up at the stone columns and large arched windows.
"It's an old guild building, I'm not sure which one." Becky answered without much interest in my question. As we approached the steps a familiar voice called out.
"Becky is that you? Oh wow! I know you have great legs, look at you showing some more of the goods!" Rachel shouted as she quickly walked toward us and greeted us.
"Well look at you, boobs all out on show! These law folk wont know what hit them!" Becky giggled pointing at Rachel's backless gaping dress. "Lets go inside."
Rachel wasn't studying law but Becky's friend Jon had asked her to attend. Each student was allowed a plus one, hence my attendance and that of many other people. It was mostly guys who studied physics but loads of people had gone and though outnumbered there were plenty of glamorously dressed young women all looking good.
Becky however looked better than good and as soon as she walked into the hall all eyes seemed to turn to her. She smiled as we walked in to be greeted by a number of people, Jon and Andrew immediately appeared as did their housemates Callum and Chris who had all enjoyed Becky's antics online after our engagement party and loved the idea she may do something like it again, their faces were a picture when she walked in.
"Becky, all joking aside. You are gorgeous. You look fantastic." Andrew sincerely beamed.
"Aw, thanks Andrew thats probably the nicest thing you've ever said."
"You do though." Callum added with a jitter as his voice creeped out from his long hair, he was a lot more shy than the tall and loud Andrew.
The guys stayed in a group all night, occasionally making conversation with Rachel and her housemates Stella and Miriam who had come as guests of the boys. Who actually came with who was unclear as it was all based around friendship rather than an actual date and everyone seemed to just enjoy spending time out in a different environment.
The ball started with a sit down meal before some toasts and awards for various things like "Most outrageous hair." "Best question during a lecture." and a host of other random awards that had people laughing.
"And now we have an award we weren't sure how to name, so its simply - Who we are most likely to remember - Rebecca White! Becky come up here." They beckoned as all eyes moved to Becky who rose from her seat next to me. "My word, look at you. Tonight proving once again why you won't be forgotten." Jack, the head of the debate team commented as she walked toward him at the front of the room where everyones attention was focused. "You win this because for two and a half years we finally had someone who was equally clever, beautiful and kind. And then you went viral on the internet and we couldn't believe it was the same person!" Jack continued to huge applause. Becky raised her arm and small plaque in the air soaking in the applause with good humour.
Becky returned to our table with a red face as she appeared embarrassed. She hoped at least the lecturers hadn't seen her antics from our engagement party but at this point she just wanted to celebrate the fast approaching end of university and some good time with her friends. We'd all been steadily drinking as Chris and Andrew were keeping a constant supply coming to our table so that when the band had set up and music began we were all really keen to dance immediately.
"Becky... are you wearing underwear?" Rachel bluntly asked reaching her arm around Becky's shoulder. "Ooh your feather boa tickles!" She continued in her slightly drunken stupor.
"Hey don't start I'm wearing a lot more than at the engagement party!" Becky mockingly answered.
"Well, more items, I'm not sure you're more covered." Chris commented frankly.
"Well. That's probably true, but I haven't got my legs on display like then."
"No you haven't and thats a shame, but there's a large slit in your skirt showing us a good glimpse and you've never shown off your stomach like you are so that's pretty awesome." Jon added.
"Do you like it?" Becky asked sounding happy and tipsy. "Or would you rather see my legs?"
"Well.. I think I can speak for all the guys when I say it'd be great to see both!" Jon answered quite boldly.
