Chapter 15: A Mortifying Measurement
The Measurement
I crouched low and shivering, still completely naked, shaking my head in disbelief. My hands were wedged tightly between my thighs as I huddled on the cold tile floor, silently praying for a miracle.
After a few moments a light tapping came from the door. “Knock-knock!” Julie chirped.
“Yes?” I answered the salesgirl anxiously, my voice cracking like a prepubescent boy’s.
But instead of a response, I heard the unmistakable sound of metal sliding into metal—a key turning in the lock.
“What—hey!” I yelped, just as the door popped open and Julie waltzed in. I scrambled backward, my back hitting the wall. “What’re you... I’m na—I'm not dressed!”
“Not a problem,” she said without batting an eyelash, as if witnessing a naked boy cowering in a dressing room was standard procedure for her. In her hand, she held a measuring tape and a clipboard. On the clipboard was a sheet of paper featuring a hand-drawn outline of a female figure. “We just need to get you sized properly. Head to toe. Nothing to be embarrassed about.”
“Oh! Please, I don’t need... at least let me get dressed first...” I stammered.
Julie smiled. “No need for that, honeybun. Nothing I’ve never seen before, so there’s no need to be bashful. Besides, it’s much easier to get exact measurements this way. While you're naked. Now be a good boy and stand up straight for me, hmm?”
With a pitiful groan, I rose slowly from my crouched position, keeping both hands firmly clamped over my modesty as if my life depended on it. I stared straight ahead, face burning, as Julie casually left the door cracked open behind her. Naturally, Becky, Brenda, and the young teens needed no further invitation. The door creaked wider, and soon their grinning faces were peeking over each other's shoulders, jockeying for position like spectators at a sporting event. Of course, Julie made absolutely no effort to discourage them. If anything, she seemed to be performing for her audience.
Trying (and failing) to suppress her smirk, Julie knelt behind me and gently lifted my right heel. “Hold the end of the tape with your heel, dear. Let’s see how tall we are.” She stood and extended the tape upward until it reached the top of my head. “Stand tall now... aaand... five-nine and a half. Excellent!” She looked around. “Shoot, I forgot the scale. Don’t go anywhere,” she said with a wink, already halfway out the door.
"It's okay!" I called back, my voice cracking with desperate anxiety. “Why do you need my... I weigh one thirty-fi—”
“I’ll be right back! It’s best to weigh you while you’re naked!” she hollered from the sales floor, much louder than necessary.
The giggling girls continued to loiter in the doorway while I waited impatiently for the salesgirl. I turned my back to them and bent to a crouch. It was a full five minutes before Julie reappeared.
"Sorry for the delay," she said, stepping back into the room with a digital scale tucked under her arm. "I had to help another customer. But don't worry, I'm all yours now."
Wonderful.
She set the scale on the floor and motioned for me to step up. When I did, she announced what I already knew. “One thirty-five. Five-nine and a half, one-thirty-five,” she said, scribbling onto the clipboard. She looked up at the girls. “Excuse me, but could I trouble one of you to write down this information for me as I call it out?”
Becky jumped at the opportunity, gleefully entering the room and taking the clipboard from Julie's outstretched hand. I stood helplessly, still covering myself as best I could, while Becky took her place beside Julie, both clearly reveling in the moment.
“Okay, let’s get your neck size, sweetie. Chin up,” Julie said, gently tilting my head with her fingertips. “Once we get all your measurements, you can do your lingerie shopping on our website... looks like fourteen inches exactly. You have a lovely, slender swan neck.”
“Fourteen inches,” Becky repeated, writing it down. “Such a delicate little neck.”
I groaned softly.
Julie smiled. "Now, I’ll need you to hold your arms straight out to your sides, sweetheart, so we can measure your chest.”
“Please,” I whispered. “Just... let me put something on.”
Julie rolled her eyes like I was being dramatic. “Now, now, we’ve been over this. Your measurements are much more accurate when you’re nice and naked. Now be a good boy and make this easy for me. Arms out. Nice and straight, like you’re ready to take off.”
I glanced at Brenda and saw the unspoken command in her eyes. With a defeated sigh, I knew what I had to do. Slowly, painfully, I moved my hands from my crotch, exposing myself to the full view—and full judgment—of the room.
The teen girls gasped in unison, then broke into high-pitched giggles. I felt so lightheaded from sheer humiliation that I thought I might actually faint.
“Atta boy,” Julie said with a grin. I caught her eyes flicking down to where my hands had just been. Her smirk widened, unmistakably amused by the view she'd captured. “See how easy that was? Now let’s get these arms up,” she said, lifting my arms into place. “There we go—flying position. Hold that pose... perfect!”
She slipped behind me for the chest measurement, most assuredly to give the girls an unobstructed view of my exposed genitals. Becky and Brenda had seen me naked before, but they were grinning brightly, as their enjoyment of my humiliation seemed to have no limits. The young teenyboppers were grabbing onto each other and giggling uncontrollably. It was all I could do to keep from running off.
“Thirty-two inches,” Julie announced, walking around me and giving my chest an appraising look. “And on the flat side—definitely a double A cup.”
“Thirty-two, double A,” Becky said. “Do you even carry that size, Julie? You might have to special-order a little boy’s training bra.”
Another wave of laughter followed as Becky dutifully jotted it down, a pronounced smirk on her face.
"Okay," Julie continued, her tone businesslike. “Let’s get your waist size now. I’ll need you to hold your arms up high in the air—it’s best to take the measurement while you’re fully stretched out, in case you ever want to wear a corset."
I grudgingly raised my arms.
“All the way up, please,” Julie directed, her voice firm. Reluctantly, I obeyed, extending them toward the ceiling.
"Now interlock your fingers and turn your palms upward... that’s it, keep them facing the ceiling so your body is nice and taut. There you go, perfect. All stretched out." She paused, then added, "I must compliment you on your hygiene. You have such lovely, smooth underarms.”
The giggling intensified, becoming almost hysterical. It was true; while I'd started to grow hair elsewhere on my body, my armpits were still as smooth as a child's, a fact that was a source of embarrassment for me but apparently delighted my audience to no end.
She walked behind me to take the measurement, affording the other girls what for them was I’m sure a very entertaining view of my exposed form. “Twenty-eight inches." After a pause, she added, “With a corset I think you’ll have a lovely hourglass figure.”
I dropped my arms again, my hands snapping back over my crotch like magnets. Julie came back around and faced me. “Okay, we’re almost done. I just need to measure your hips so your panties will be properly sized.” I groaned softly to myself as Julie knelt once more. She looked up at me. “You’ll need to hold your arms up and out of the way, sweetie.”
With a defeated sigh, I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to pretend I wasn’t standing there naked, being sized for panties. I felt the tape wrap around my hips. Her eyes were only a few inches from my penis as she purposefully scrutinized her objective—and at that moment, I didn't think it was the tape measurement that held her attention. As she stood up, she couldn’t suppress another smirk, only now it was more pronounced.
"Definitely an extra small," was her stinging remark, delivered with perfect timing. While everyone laughed, she gave my flushed face a sympathetic pat. “There, that wasn’t so bad, now, was it?”
"Say thank you," Becky commanded softly. "It was really nice of Julie to measure you and care enough to get you properly fitted lingerie."
"Thank you," I whispered.
"Louder," Becky prompted. "And ask nicely for your bra and panties."
"Please," I said, my voice breaking. "Please... may I have the... bra and panties?" That was pure torture.
Julie beamed. "Of course you may, honeybun. That's exactly what we'll get you. A complete set. Maybe two. After all, a girl can never have too much lingerie."
As everyone trickled out, still laughing and chattering about what they'd witnessed, Julie turned back and chirped, "Be right back with your bra and panties!"
The door clicked shut, and I locked it in a hurry, my fingers fumbling with the mechanism. Then I leaned against it, buried my face in my hands, and whispered to the empty room:
“Oh... my... fucking... God.”
Bra and Panties
My reprieve was short-lived. Barely two minutes had passed when Julie’s hand appeared over the dressing room door, holding a pair of lavender lace panties that looked a bit on the small side.
“Would you try these on for me, please?”
Shuddering, I took the panties from her fingers and gingerly slipped them on. They hugged me a little too well. I winced as I glanced downward, taking in the sight of myself in women's underwear.
“Well?” Julie’s voice was expectant.
“They’re... fine,” I answered meekly.
Next came the matching bra, casually passed over the top of the door. “Don’t forget your bra,” came the cheery voice from the other side.
I reached up and took it, holding it at arm’s length and staring at it like it might bite me. I had no idea how the straps worked. Julie, sensing my struggle, piped up again.
“Slip your arms through the openings, sweetheart, then fasten it in the back. Would you like some help?”
“No!” I blurted quickly. “I mean... I can do it. I've got it. Really."
After a struggle, I finally managed to secure it. I stood there in women’s underwear, feeling ridiculous—and more than a little humiliated by how thoroughly Julie had orchestrated the moment.
“How are we doing in there?” she asked, all too helpfully.
“Fine. They fit fine. Really. I’ll take them... please. If that’s what you want.”
There was a brief, silent pause.
Maybe she's done? Maybe this is the end of it?
"I think we should have a look in the mirror. Make sure everything sits properly."
Of course she does.
I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to gather myself. Then, in resignation, I opened the dressing room door.
“Oh, you look adorable,” Julie gushed, clapping her hands together. She stepped closer. “Do you feel as sexy as you look? Because you look absolutely ravishing in that lavender."
I didn’t dignify that with a response. I couldn't have formed words if I'd wanted to. I simply power-walked toward the mirror, my eyes fixed on the floor, wishing I had a paper bag for my head.
As expected, I was met by a growing crowd of grinning faces. Becky and Brenda stood front and center, beaming at me with expressions of delight. The teenage girls were practically bouncing with glee. The tall blonde customer observed from a distance, looking thoroughly entertained. And now, because this clearly wasn’t humiliating enough, another saleslady and two new customers had stopped their browsing to watch the spectacle.
When I reached the mirror, the girls formed a semicircle around me, looking on with great amusement. Julie sidled up beside me. “Oh yes, this is definitely you,” she said, her fingers reaching out to adjust the lace along the bra cups. “Lavender is such a lovely color on you, don’t you think so? It brings out your eyes.”
“Yes... I mean, no... I mean—I’ll take them... please!"
The two new customers had wandered closer, whispering to each other with amused interest. I needed to get out of sight immediately. I spun on my heel and bolted toward the dressing room, desperate for cover. But to my horror, when I reached for the door, I found it closed. And locked. Someone was inside.
In a panic, I looked around for another dressing room, but there was none to be found. There was nowhere to hide. I knocked frantically on the door.
"Excuse me?" I called out, my voice cracking with anxiety. "I'm sorry, but can I get in there? I really need—"
A woman’s voice replied, “I beg your pardon, young man, but I’m busy in here.” The occupant paused, and then a face appeared peeking at me over the door, looking me up and down with undisguised interest. Tall Blonde Lady from before. She took in my state of undress—lavender bra, matching panties, burning face—and her grin spread wide. "She's right, you know," she said calmly, "It is a lovely color on you.”
My nightmare was reaching a fever pitch. I stood stiffly by the door, one arm crossed over my chest in a futile attempt at modesty, the other shielding the front of the panties. It wasn’t until later, replaying the scene in my mind, that it struck me: I was striking the exact pose any modest girl in my situation probably would have assumed—the arm across the chest, the protective hand, the hunched shoulders. And once that realization sank in, it only deepened my shame.
Eventually, the lady emerged with a wink, and I scrambled inside, slamming the door with enough force to rattle the walls. I leaned against it, breathing a sigh of relief like never before. But then I realized with fresh horror—my clothes were still missing.
I poked my head above the door and looked around the store, but they were nowhere to be seen. I spotted Julie a few yards away, helping another customer, and even from here I could see she was still grinning.
“May I please have my clothes now?” I called out to her.
“Sure!” came Julie’s cheerful voice. "I'll get them for you right away. First, though, hand me your bra and panties, and I'll wrap them up for you all nice."
Naked Again
I sighed in resignation, then peeled off the offending garments. I held them over the door, and they were snatched away in a blink. Once again I was left naked and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting...
“Excuse me?” I shouted, now with impertinence. “I’m still waiting for my clothes! Could we maybe—”
“Sorry, I’m with another customer," Julie called back. "Your clothes are hanging on the rack with the babydolls. You'll have to get them yourself. I'm sure you can manage."
I groaned. I should have known it would come to that.
Peeking out, I scanned the store. I had no idea what a babydoll even was, but clearly I wasn’t going to find my clothes without parading naked through the store, without giving everyone yet another show. Desperate, I grabbed a tennis shoe. I held it over my genitals, which easily fit inside the opening of the shoe. Then I made a break for it.
The store exploded in laughter. Out of the corner of my eye I saw several people peering through the front window from the mall corridor—one of them pointing at me with glee. I darted from rack to rack, searching for anything that resembled my clothes. No luck.
Tall Blonde Lady was headed toward the dressing room again, and I barely beat her to it, slamming the door and screaming: “Please! Someone just bring me my fucking clothes! I'm begging you!"
The Teddy
There was silence. Then, ominously... the fuchsia teddy was slowly sliding over the top of the door. Becky’s voice followed. “That’s no way for a young lady to talk. Now put on your new teddy and let’s go home.”
“Oh, shit,” I muttered to myself. I pulled the teddy off the door and leaned against the wall, feeling hopeless. “Ohhh, shit.”
“Open the door,” Becky demanded. "Right now."
In a rush, I pulled the teddy on—again—and turned the knob. Becky burst in, holding a shopping bag.
“If you’d just asked nicely,” she teased, “I would’ve given these to you ten minutes ago.” She showed me the contents—my shorts, t-shirt, underpants—and then she dropped in my shoes and the frilly socks. “Let’s go,” she said with a smile.
“Oh God, please, Beck! I can’t—not in the mall! Not like this!”
Becky simply tugged at my elbow. I pulled loose and tentatively ventured out of the dressing room. Once again, I was the center of attention. I briskly walked toward the exit, trying to pretend I was anywhere else, and not wearing skimpy, feminine lingerie. But there was Julie, waving merrily from behind the counter, her arm raised high.
“Yoo-hoo! Don’t forget to pay for your lingerie, sir!” she called, delighting in every word, her voice carrying across the entire store. "We can't let you leave without paying for your pretty things!"
I gave Brenda a desperate look. She smiled and nodded toward the counter. Becky reached into the shopping bag, retrieved the credit card, and handed it to Julie, who then took an unusually long time to complete the transaction while I stood there, utterly mortified, the teddy clinging to me like a constant reminder of my humiliation.
At last, the smiling Julie handed me the pink bag containing my new bra and panty set. The bag had giant “VS” logo emblazoned on both sides, screaming the brand to anyone who cared to look. “Thank you so much,” she said. “You’re my new favorite customer. Really, you are. Please come back soon. I’ll be happy to help you any time.”
I turned to leave, and Becky jabbed me in the ribs. “Thank her for her help.”
"Thank you for your help,” I mumbled, trying not to cry.
“Oh, trust me,” Julie said, her smile wicked, “the pleasure was all mine.”
The walk through the mall was its own special kind of torment. Becky and Brenda each gripped a hand, towing me along at their leisurely, agonizing pace while the two young girls trailed behind, giggling openly. I tried to hurry us along, desperate to escape the gawking eyes around us, but my sister and Brenda held me back—even pausing at one point to casually order ice cream.
By the time we finally reached the exit, I’d lost track of how many people had stared, whispered, pointed, or laughed. I heard one wolf whistle from a group of young women, an “Oh, how darling!” from a passing group of older women, and—just to seal my humiliation completely—a booming female voice that echoed off the high ceilings: “Look at the pretty boy in the lingerie!” I must have turned every shade of red imaginable during that public display.
When we stepped outside, the two teenagers lingered at the entrance, watching as we crossed the parking lot. Even after I scrambled into the car and pulled the door shut, the sound of their giggling voices still rang in my ears.
