From a combinatorial perspective, I like maid outfits or suits the most.

It may be because the outfits themselves are beautiful, but I should say I like the situations that come with those outfits.

It makes my heart flutter.

Imagine.

A woman in a maid outfit slightly raising the corners of her mouth and whispering, “Master,” or

a woman wearing round metal-rimmed glasses with a suit calling me “Boss” with sharp eyes.

Just imagining it makes my heart flutter.

But if I had to throw away the situations and combinatorial aspects and choose my favorite clothing, I would choose stockings the most.

Because stockings are a god, and a woman wearing them is a work of art.

Legs are beautiful parts of the body in and of themselves, but when stockings are added, it feels like the charm stat increases by about 4 even if they are still.

That’s why, even in modern times when corsets and petticoats that were popular until the 19th century have been relegated to a minor realm, stockings remain a mainstream fashion item.

So, what are the best stockings?

There are so many people who say they like stockings, but there are many disagreements among those people as to ‘which’ stockings are considered the best.

Starting with color debates over which is the best between black, white, and flesh color.

Which is better between pantyhose, thigh-high socks that come up to the thigh, or thigh-high socks + garter belt.

There is a string of troublesome debates, such as which is better between something so thin that it is see-through and something as thick as tights.

If you consider people who prefer fishnets, people who insist on silk while crying out for a return to the classics, and people who prefer nylon stockings with back seams and keyholes that were commonly seen in the early 20th century, etc., all shouting out their tastes, it was like the elements of debate were laid out like landmines in all directions.

I like all kinds of stockings, so I respect most tastes, but just one thing.

What torments me is the question of which is the best combination between pantyhose and garter belt + thigh-high socks.

Pantyhose are not ordinary from birth.

As you can tell from the name, it is a lewd fellow whose very birth is lewd, born from combining panties and stockings.

Yet, pantyhose are a very detestable piece of clothing that emphasizes that beautiful line by pressing down on the flesh from toe to waist.

The charm of pantyhose is not just this.

The band that passes through the navel and waist presses down on the flesh, causing the flesh to bulge out above the band, the way the skin subtly shows through any color, and the unique texture; the existence itself is a fellow that enchants men.

However, that doesn’t mean that the fundamental combination of thigh-high stockings with a garter belt is inferior to pantyhose.

There is a good reason why fundamental combinations survive for a long time.

The thigh skin that is shyly revealed at the point where the stocking ends, the garter belt that holds the stocking tightly while parting the fair skin, and the slight curves created as the stocking squeezes the leg and presses down on the thigh flesh were elements that drove men crazy.

Pantyhose that harmoniously decorate the lower body and waist, and thigh-high socks with garter belts that decorate the legs to near perfection.

Stockings with panties, stockings with garter belts.

Either way, they are excellent goblin-like fellows at driving men crazy, so it’s not easy to choose just one.

That’s why this dilemma torments me.

Of course, you can create the effect of wearing thigh-high socks by varying the colors of the top and bottom of pantyhose.

However, the biggest problem with pantyhose is that you cannot wear them with a garter belt.

At one time, I had the foolish idea of ​​putting a garter belt over pantyhose.

But then there is no reason to wear a garter belt.

The beauty lies in the way the stockings are pulled as they hold up stockings that seem to be sliding down, and the way the garter belt straps flutter every time the legs move.

If you’re just going to like it because it’s placed on your waist like a flower, then embroider a garter belt pattern on pantyhose; why bother wearing a garter belt?

But if you enjoy garter belts, you have to give up pantyhose.

However, if I were to make pantyhose, women would not be able to wear clothes with closed bottoms because of the complicated dresses.

Also, if I were to release both into the world, it would be too burdensome right now to release both, given the nature of stockings, where the unique elasticity comes to life only when synthetic fibers are mixed.

The last method was to combine pantyhose and garter belts.

It’s perfect in theory.

If I can properly capture the feel of the garter belt, I can enjoy the slightly pressed waist and garter belt along with the pantyhose.

Even Buddha or Jesus cannot stand this.

There was a problem that this kind of solution always produced bizarrely twisted and ambiguous results, but anything is worth a try.

Failure is the mother of success, and there is progress only when there is a challenge.

So, I started with a sketch first.

I need to know what the design I’m thinking of feels like.

First, I make a slit at the bottom of the pantyhose.

Then, I put a pattern on the stockings to give them the feel of a garter belt.

“Hmm…”

Not bad?

Thanks to the hole at the bottom, you can see the thigh being pressed, you can see the waist fat being pressed, and it feels like a garter belt…

If the actual product comes out like this, it seemed like a degree of vicarious satisfaction would be possible.

“Emily.”

“Yes?”

“Take a look at this.”

“Yes.”

Because I liked it, I showed the picture to Emily.

“What do you think?”

“What kind of clothing is this?”

“It’s called ‘pantyhose,’ and it’s a type of stockings that can be worn without a garter belt; I got rid of the crotch area for convenience.”

“Ahem…”

Emily stared blankly at the picture, her earlobes slightly flushed.

And she moved her eyes back and forth nervously, and said in a trembling voice.

“Um, Master.”

“Yeah.”

“I feel like I’m saying this often, but your… sexual perceptions seem to be very broken.”

“What?”

I was quite taken aback by Emily’s personal attack.

It’s not that I think of myself as a virtuous person, but this time I didn’t draw clothes that would be a big social problem.

It’s just stockings.

Stockings are clothes that originally exist, and garter belts are clothes that originally exist, but I don’t know why the criticism is hitting me right in the solar plexus.

“Why? Where?”

“Um… it looks very erotic at first glance.”

“No, there’s not much difference between wearing stockings and a garter belt, is there? The exposed parts are similar, and underwear that touches the skin feels like this.”

“But, what can I do if it feels different? It’s hard to explain in words… I just have a feeling that something terrible will happen if it’s released into the world.”

“It looks fine…”

It doesn’t seem to be any problem to me, so what’s wrong…

I don’t understand.

“Is it really weird?”

“Yes.”

But seeing Emily say no so clearly, it was certain that there was something embarrassing about it.

The only time she opposed this strongly other than when drawing the catalog was… never.

“What should I do…”

I tapped the desk with my fingers and frowned.

I want to make the actual product…

“If you have any regrets, how about asking other people?”

“Other people?”

“Especially if they are nobles, I think they will tell you in more detail than I would.”

“Ah!”

I lightly hit my forehead with the palm of my hand and exclaimed.

I have colleagues I work with now.

I was so used to working alone that I had forgotten for a moment.

I can ask my colleagues, but I was stupidly just tormenting Emily.

It’s a group that is second to none in the empire in terms of diversity, so I’ll be able to get various opinions.

As for popularity… I should also ask my brother or the town house employees…

“Great, I should ask them on Monday.”

_

“Everyone, stop what you’re doing and pay attention for a moment!”

It was Monday, and when I went to the store, I clapped several times to focus the attention of the employees who were preparing for work.

“What’s going on?”

The employees’ gazes were fixed on me one by one, and when everyone was focused on me, Princess Elizabeth asked as a representative.

I lightly shook the paper in my hand and said.

“I’m currently designing a new piece of clothing, and I don’t have a sense of what it feels like, so I’d like to hear what the employees think; would that be okay?”

“Sir William.”

Princess Elizabeth, narrowing her eyes, stared at me intently and said.

“This is related to our work, so please ask for that kind of favor with confidence.”

“Ah, okay…”

I answered awkwardly to a word that mixed acceptance and nagging, and spread the paper on the table.

“This is it, everyone, take a look and tell me what you think.”

“I’ve always been curious about how someone who even the imperial family commissions draws.”

“I’m looking forward to what kind of clothes they will be.”

Princess Fannie and Duke Herbert approached the table first.

And then, one by one, the employees who came closer surrounded the table and looked at the paper.

“Oh…”

“Hic… Hick…”

“Wow…!”

The employees’ expressions were becoming increasingly subtle, and sighs were erupting from various places.

With the exception of Duke Herbert and Princess Elizabeth, most of the employees could not hide their reluctance and discomfort.

“So, what do you think…?”

Feeling uneasy, I asked the employees for their impressions.

The employees, looking at each other, hesitated, smiled awkwardly, and cautiously said a word.

“It seems… daring…”

“It seems very challenging.”

“It seems a little… decadent.”

“It seems perverted.”

“……”

Ah, damn it, this is messed up.
