“You ready,” Loretta asked.

“Ready for what,” Rupert asked tying his second shoe. Loretta admired him his looks considering that with very little effort she could transform him so he appeared less masculine and more feminine. Somewhat “androgynous” she mused .

“To try and find you,” Loretta said and then added, “we’ve got to shop for you so that for the time being you appear as neither male or female. We need to make you hardly identifiable in either direction or put another way undifferentiated.”

“How do we do that,” Rupert asked.

“I don’t have a clue yet,” Loretta said but then added, “although shopping for the basics is on the list.”

“Basics,” Rupert asked.

“You need stuff,” Loretta said trying to avoid the obvious terms like slips and panties as she added, “jeans for one thing or you’ll forever be wearing those culottes.”

“Good idea,” Rupert said.

The fact that Loretta guided him into a store that was called “She’s All That” should have been his first clue but Loretta was doing her very best to calm him without him knowing he was being calmed. She was too fearful of using her power too openly too often, fearing she would slip and send enough energy to trigger an alarm. So far she was sure she was well below the threshold and Rupert was oblivious as they walked past the store’s barrier. She felt like she was giving him half a sedative if that.

“May I help you,” the woman asked stepping towards Loretta first since it was a woman’s shop.

“Thank you, yes,” Loretta said and then added, “my young man is transitioning. Actually she’s just beginning to transition from male to female and we’re getting her the basics. I’d like to get her into an outfit to wear that’s a little androgynous? Perhaps find a decent pair of jeans first, a top, maybe get rid of these God awful culottes, then get into the basics.”

Loretta watched Rupert’s reaction as well as the woman’s. Loretta was ready to puff her but she seemed open. To the woman’s credit she was taken by surprise but recovered quickly and clearly a sale was a sale and this young lady was interested more in the sale than judging.

“Then let’s start at the beginning? Can I get your waist and hip size honey? And I’m June,” the girl said.

Rupert looked at Loretta first then at June. There was confusion on his face which Loretta took as her using too much “push” so she immediately backed off completely.

“Sorry, she’s been like that all morning. This is all new for her. She’s a 22 inch waist and 26 hip. And we’re going to need a training bra for a 26 inch chest with a “B” cup, so if I may can we start there,” Loretta said.

“I understand,” June said and then asked, “front closure or back?”

“Front,” Loretta said and then added, “might as well make it easy for her.”

“Girl’s lingerie is over here,” June said as she invited Rupert and Loretta towards the Back. The store was vast and Loretta grabbed a cart as she began to follow June to the back. There were a few looks but Loretta ignored them and Rupert was still in a mild daze although there was a slight blush forming as they moved deeper into the store and closer to the intimates.

“We’ve arranged these by size with your 26 here down to here,” June said before adding, “with our least expensive going from left to right. If she’s starting out I’d suggest an actual bra style to get use to the support and comfort issues plus a couple of sports styles for school and play. The Spanx brand is nice and offers shaping. It’s not exactly per se but you can add forms and they’d stay in place. Both are flexible enough to give her lots of room to grow as she develops or when she goes to larger forms. These actual training aids also model women’s atire fairly consistently. Has she settled on colors or just white?”

“Pinks and lavenders for colors and whites for basics. Let’s stay with the girly colors for now Loretta said taking up a front closure in a 26 inch in a white satin. She looked at Rupert who was now looking at Loretta with beet red cheeks. He was becoming aware of where he was and what he was doing there. Loretta put two white and one pink one in the cart then moved to grab a sports one in white. She grabbed a package of small “B” size foam inserts and tossed those in.

Loretta ended up with a couple of heavy white opaque tees and camisoles in nylon. Two packages of panties in girls brief style in size 7/8. One package of white and the other with Disney princesses. She picked up two half slips and two full slips and another full slip in black that was more dressy. Rupert remained noncommittal but nodded when she asked if he liked this one or that. The redness in his cheeks never left him.

They moved to the jeans and Rupert took a size 7/8 pair into the changing room. He came out a moment later in just his stocking feet and tee shirt but the jeans fit him perfectly and the extra hip room allowed easily for the diaper. Loretta whispered, asking if they felt tight or not and Rupert said they fit okay. Rupert had changed back into the clothes he came into but Loretta decided he had enough to change.

Loretta decided to guide Rupert into more girl clothes in his newer clothes and whispered to the girl that she was going to help Rupert into one of his new training aids and a white top. June said she’d remove the plastic security tag returning a moment later with his jeans, training aids and tee. Rupert and Loretta went into the changing room and Rupert knew exactly what Loretta wanted the instant she walked in with his clothes handing him the bra first.
