Melissa said, "The worst part about this dress is I can't sit down in it! You should have seen me when I had to go potty earlier. I had to stand and straddle the toilet."
Cathy asked, "Did you face the wall or back up to it?"
Melissa giggled. "I backed up, of course." She smiled for a moment. "It's the first time I've ever found crotchless underwear functional!"
"You really wear that?" Cathy half exclaimed.
"Under this full-skirted dress and all these petticoats, I figured it wasn't too risky," said Melissa with a wink. "You like to try on a pair" These are new. You can keep them," she added, handing a black pair to Cathy. "I'm going to take mine off and go bare butt for a while, however. You can put your panties in this bag so you don't lose them."
Melissa slipped out of her high heels in favor of a pair of tennis shoes, which nobody would see because of her dress. She wondered if anyone would notice that she had become an inch or two shorter. Probably not; she imagined they would all be looking at her half-exposed bosum. Although the dress was quite long, the top part was very revealing, with only two tiny spaghetti straps coming over the shoulders. It appeared that the dress was held up as much by the slips underneath as it was by Melissa's shoulders.
Cathy's dress was far less dramatic, though quite attractive in its own right. It had short puffy sleeves and a ribbon belt; she too wore multiple petticoats, though they did not have to keep the dress up like Melissa's did.
Melissa, Cathy, and the other guests—all friends and cousins of Melissa—took a leisurely walk through the neighborhood. The streets were clean and dry, so nobody had to worry about damaging her dress or even getting it dirty. It was a bit chilly, however, and Melissa wore a light sweater to cover herself; some of the other girls got their boyfriends to lend them their jackets for a similar purpose. As Melissa's fiancee was in the Navy, however, she felt a bit a lonely. Nonetheless, several of her friends also had boyfriends in the service who were unable to attend the party.
Upon returning to Melissa's house, the two girls socialized with the guests for a while before returning to Melissa's room, this time unchased by little boys. "Going bottomless was kind of fun," said Melissa.
Cathy agreed. "Crotchless was kind of fun, too, though it did get kind of chilly out there.
"You should have worn nylons. Your feet feel the cold first."
"I know, but with open-toed shoes?" Cathy was very fashion-conscious.
"Who would know? You're wearing a long dress. Look, I'm wearing tennis shoes, remember?" Melissa looked at her watch. "It?s time to change. Wanna take something off, or put something on?"
"I'll put on socks," Cathy said. "And these shoes of my brother's."
"I'll put on real panties," said Melissa, "and socks over these nylons." The girls returned downstairs to continue socializing.
The hours passed, and Melissa and Cathy sneaked back upstairs. "How many slips are you wearing?" Melissa asked.
"Just two—no, three," Cathy giggled. "Two petticoats and a straight slip. What about you?"
"Five, now four," Melissa said, dropping one petticoat to the floor. "Could you unhook my straps??"
Cathy unhooked the straps, but the dress did not fall down. Melissa slipped on a T-shirt, then a schoolgirl sweatshirt, over the dress.
Cathy put her own panties on over the crotchless pair, then took off a petticoat. The girls returned downstairs.
It was getting late, and some of the guests were talking about leaving. Cathy and Melissa sneaked back upstairs and into the bedroom. Cathy took off her straight slip, and had Melissa unzip her dress. She pulled her arms out of the dress sleeves, but did not take the dress off. Instead, she pulled on a large sweatshirt, making sure the bodice of the dress remained concealed inside it.
Melissa took off all but one of her remaining petticoats. She then put on a bra underneath her T-shirt and sweater, and slid the dress bodice down a little. The remaining petticoat held up her dress, and the sweater concealed the bodice. A few minutes later, the girls came down the stairs.
Cathy acted first. First, the petticoat fell to the floor, then the dress, revealing a very tight miniskirt. Then Melissa dropped her petticoat and dress to reveal a pair of very tight jeans, cut off just above the knee.
Two boys had to change their clothes when they got home. So did one middle-aged man.
