The packet was labelled 'Set and Match' with the additional words 'stockings and lacy suspender belt'. It showed a picture of a woman's lower torso and thighs wearing a suspender-belt, knickers and stockings.

The packet contained a pair of very smooth stockings in a shade called 'Barely black' and a white lacy suspender belt. I took out the two items and my aunt watched as I started to put on the latter. In the end I managed to fix the suspender-belt round my waist and saw the four suspenders dangling down my thighs. I then picked up the stockings and started to put them

on.

'Take care with them in the foot firstand be careful not to catch them with your nails,' said my aunt.

I managed to draw the stockings up my legs without mishap and then to attached them to the suspenders, noting as I did so that the stockings gave me a tight, supportive feeling and that as I stood up the suspenders tugged pleasantly on the stockings.

'Look at yourself in the mirror,' my aunt ordered me.

Embarrassedly I went over to the long mirror and saw myself dressed in a women's underwear for the first time.

My immediate reaction was one of surprise for despite my embarrassment at being dressed in such garments I did not look as absurd or rid-

iculous as I had expected. Getting over my immediate reluctance to look carefully at myself I took in the fact that the bra and knickers neemed to give me a slightly more feminine shape and that the suspenders crossing over my thighs looked distinctly sexy. I also saw that my legs were not as ugly as I had imagined they would be.

'Quite feminine,' my aunt remarked. 'I think you'll make quite a nice young woman. You'll be able to join Gudrun and Lisa.'

I didn't take her remark seriously but I was to find out later that it was her intention to make me into a woman, but with the difference that I could, on rare occasions, perform in a way that satisfied the two frustrated girls!

It wasn't too bad being alone with my aunt dressed in those undies but I felt the most acute embarrassment when the two girls were called in to see me and give their opinions.

There was a sly smile on Lisa's face as she looked at me, and Gudren seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

'I think he'll do,' said Lisa, but a wig would make all the difference.

'I agree,' said Gudren. 'He's got quite a nice figure; it's just his hair that gives him away.

'Well, we'll see about a wig later on,'
