A tale in which a Mistress introduces her new crossdressing sub to his future wardrobe.
Part One - My fetish gets turned on its head.
'So, let's see what I'm going to dress you in,' she said with a grin.
'Wonderful,' I said excitedly.
'Etsy always has plenty to look at. We'll start there.'
'Yes, I've...umm...shopped there before.'
'Why am I not surprised?'
I blushed just the teensiest.
'I already have a look for you in mind.'
I rubbed my hands in anticipation. 'This is great!'
I sat down next to her as she opened the Etsy site on her computer and entered the unambiguous search terms.
Hundreds of matches quickly loaded.
I felt a strong stirring between my legs, but of course the small plastic cage I wore put a stop to any further swelling.
She started scrolling through the array of items. I felt like jumping up and down in pure joy -- it was so exciting to be doing this with her.
She stopped at one item, a cardigan, and clicked on it to enlarge it. 'I like this one.'
She leaned in a little towards the monitor and brushed back the sides of her blond bobbed hair behind her ears.
I cringed. It most definitely wasn't my style. Sure, the fluffiness appealed - it was mohair - but it was the brightest pink and had knitted 'happy-faced' white lambs prancing over its front, together with an embroidery of a girl behind them holding a staff and wearing a red bonnet and a long, traditional red-white gingham dress. Heart-shaped red plastic buttons ran the length of its front, completing the outfit.
Eeek!
She continued to scroll through the cardigan's gallery.
'Not mad on it myself.'
'Yes, but I am.'
Oh. Not what I wanted to hear.
I might have a strong fetish for feminine knitwear but never in such an over-the-top 'little girlie-girlie,' ultra-conservative, style. I much prefer plain, strong colours and styles, clearly feminine but often enough somewhat ambiguous, even unisex. Sure, I even have a pink cardigan but nothing as ghastly as this number.
I swallowed a little nervously and the pressing on the cage diminished.
She read the details of the item. 'Large, 40" bust. That should fit you.' I pondered why any woman would want to wear such a piece.
I pulled a face. 'Can't we have a look around a bit? I can see there are plenty of other really nice sweaters and cardigans to look at.'
Her tone shifted and she drew back from the screen, straightened and turned to me. 'I'm sure there are. And I'll be looking over them too. But I am rather taken by this cute cardigan. Sending you out to the shops in that -- imagine that!'
I could indeed. 'Yes, but...'
'Shoosh! No buts. You're buying it.' She swung back around and clicked on the item, saving it to the purchase cart.
'Go and get your credit card.' I meekly obeyed.
I handed it over. Enter details, click, purchase.
All done in a bewildering flash. I decided not to argue. She liked it and I figured it was just the one cardigan. 'Why not, if it pleases her?'
She scrolled down the page, opening the next.
'Wow, look at that!' She clicked the image open.
I leaned in. You have got to be kidding me? Surely not?
'Picture wearing that!' I preferred not to, thanks.
She looked through the gallery chuckling at the model's stance, who had clearly decided the item was best worn as 'ironic.' I couldn't blame her. There was a short ten second video to go with the pictures and she clicked on that as well.
'It's a large size too! Oh, I don't think I can resist,' she said mischievously. She bought that too.
I shook my head. Some point soon I'm going to be wearing a bat-winged, golden yellow, ribbed mohair turtleneck covered in thirty or forty bauble pom-poms in various hues of pink, purple, red, violet and orange.
Who would knit such a 'thing'?
'This is fun!', she said with glee. 'That would look great with ribbed pink or red woolly tights and maybe patent red Mary Janes.'
Whoa -- where is this going?
Another two items followed, one a fluffy hand-knitted, multi-stitched and patterned lavender-mauve cardigan with lace trim, very conservative, prim and 'churchy'. And immensely unappealing.
The other was just as vile. It was a red sweater, a retro 80s high crewneck, with padded, puffed sleeves and black-framed geometric panels of yellow, blue, red and green on either side. And incredibly fluffy in that 80s over-the-top kind of way. I never liked the thrust of much 80s knitwear -- this was proof.
When I mentioned it might be nice to wear something in a simpler style instead, she laughed and told not to be 'silly' before clicking on the purchase details.
'Now stop your whining, it's starting to get annoying.' She told me to be quiet and to just sit back and watch.
I was left dumbfounded after those four horrid pieces, and it didn't get any better after them.
More cringe-worthy fluffies followed, nine all told, and ending with a thick, sky blue turtleneck with white sleeves covered in knitted snowmen (complete with carrots), with swirling snowflakes, pine trees and snow-covered mountains in the background. Appalling.
To add to its horrors, little knitted snowballs hung from the bottom of the rollneck, the hem of the sleeves and the main hem. Why-oh-why would you knit such a monstrosity!? And who would want to wear it!?
She turned to me and grinned broadly. 'You'll be dressed perfectly for an outing in the snow with that pwetty sweater on, won't you?' before cracking up with laughter. I was learning she had a dark laugh.
I sat back in the chair, collecting my thoughts before saying I wasn't sure if that item or the others were really 'in my style'.
'That's not the point.'
I looked at her quizzically.
'When you told me you wanted me to 'rule' your world, quote, unquote, what did you expect, huh?' Her intense blue eyes bore into me.
'Well, I guess...arrr...it's just those sweaters and cardigans are...so not me!'
