Preparing for the party

Virginia Winfield was much younger than her husband; she would become forty in a few months, so she was just a couple years older than Sarah. Now, after Bendt’s promotion, they had the same rank, but for a surgeon this was not nearly as significant. Virginia might not have been a soldier per se, but she also took great care of her health and shape. Her skin was lighter than her husband’s and had barely any signs of wrinkles. Mrs Winfield was naturally curvaceous and her muscles allowed her to keep the curves in proper shape. She was of similar height as Sarah, but was not nearly as athletic; instead she had much larger breasts and wider hips. Her thick wavy chestnut hair reached to her shoulder blades. Just like the General his wife also had a friendly approachable face.

Virginia and Sarah met before the party for two main reasons; three if you count them just getting to know each other. During their chat Mrs Winfield told Sarah what to expect at the party, she did not tell her exactly whom to expect there though. They also bought an outfit for the ‘new’ Major; despite Sarah’s protests Virginia paid for the clothes.

“Don’t worry,” Virginia said with a knowing smile, “you’ll get the chance to work it off,” she added with a wink.

“Am I being invited as a hooker?” Sarah asked with a grin.

“We all are, darling,” Mrs Winfield replied and they both laughed.

The two women spent a pleasant time together. The nature of the information provided by Virginia was heavily erotic, but the conversation felt natural and flowed freely. Mrs Winfield managed to dissipate most of Sarah’s anxiety.

Buying outfits was a crucial part of the trip. The activity of shopping in itself brought the two women closer together, but it was also important how Sarah would present herself on her first meeting with The Society. Of course all of the members were open minded, to put it mildly, and rejoiced at the prospect of having another woman join their ranks, pun intended. Sarah was well aware though that the first impression was always important. Victoria herself was not aiming at a strong first impression, but she did not want to miss an opportunity to buy a new dress.

The dress they ultimately picked for Sarah was all white, but exposed a lot more skin than any bridal gown would. Its centrepiece was a corset which also serves as a bra. It was embroidered with intricate silver patterns which broke the uniformity of the white. The corset covered slightly over half of Sarah’s breasts, including the nipples, but the rest of her upper body was exposed. The bottom part was made of four wide ankle-long strips; one at the front, at the back and on each side. The front one was the narrowest thus giving a generous glimpse of Sarah’s toned legs. The fabric of which the strips were made was thin and light, so they seemed to float around her legs as she walked.

The dress they chose for Victoria was less flashy, but also sexy and quite revealing. It was emerald green and ankle long. The cleavage reached almost to the navel and revealed almost half of Victoria’s breasts. The sleeves were long, but transparent. The bottom part of the dress was nearly as see-through as the sleeves. It also had a slit on one side that reached the top of the woman’s thigh and exposed almost her entire leg. The colour of the dress was not uniform, it was covered in a subtle silvery glossy pattern, giving an impression of the morning dew on the grass.

Both women also bought a new pair of heels. These were lace strappy pumps with red soles and thirteen centimetre tall stiletto heels. Their sides and tips had intricate silver patterns which looked like carvings. A thin strap laced the top of the shoe and then was tied around the ankle. Sarah’s heels were white, Victoria’s - black. After spending the day with the General’s wife the Major no longer felt anxious about meeting The Society. All of her emotions now shifted towards excitement. If not for her military training she would have even felt impatient.
