Petticoats and Pinafores is a collection of short stories dedicated to those who appreciate the illicit thrill of dressing in the style of the opposite sex. It's a popular motif, and a complicated one, with many subtly different takes on a broad theme, but by assembling a team of writers with a genuine enthusiasm for their subject we hope to delight everybody from the rugged male who occasionally enjoys the feel of silk next to his skin to the delicate lady who takes her pleasure in donning top hat and tails.
