Why Dressed

Stories built around the clothes themselves

Elliot Everden writes Dressed from personal experience. As a man who has loved feminine clothing for much of his life, he wanted to create the kind of fiction he had spent years looking for himself.

Too often, stories about men in feminine clothes revolve around humiliation, coercion, transformation or sex. Elliot wanted something quieter and more recognisable: choosing clothes because you genuinely love them, getting dressed carefully, and noticing how they feel once you are wearing them.

Dressed grew from that idea. The stories focus on texture, fit, movement, atmosphere and the emotional experience of being dressed, from the pull of a waistband and the movement of pleats to the weight of a coat, the feel of hosiery and the sound of boots on a floor.

They are fictional stories, but the feelings behind them are very real.
