Author's Note: This is my first story. It has an open ending, and I might write a sequel when I get some free time and more good ideas.


Amy went to the shop to buy a leather coat. The shop sells a wide variety of leather items, even some strange ones, and they aren't separated much from the ordinary ones. Items are ordered so randomly that she has found the perfect coat near the leather corset, something resembling the corset but smaller and differently shaped, and a strange bag-like item that she couldn't figure out what could it be.

Everything is made out of black leather with a strong leathery odor.

She picked the coat she found. It was perfect. Next to her, another woman was also browsing around and picked an item which resembled a corset. Amy looked the price and got disappointed because it was too high.

"I can't afford this.", she exhaled.

The other woman noticed her and said:

"This coat would look really good on you. Not enough money?"

"Yes, the price is a bit too high.", Amy responded.

"I might help, if you are willing to try out a few items I'd like to buy for a friend. I'd like to see how would they look and you seem to be about her size. This shop offers discount if you buy more stuff, so you might get the coat for a low price if we buy everything together."

"Wow, what do I have to try?"

"Well, you could try this neck corset for a start.", the woman responded and handed her the item she was holding.

Amy inspected the item. It was like a corset, but smaller and oddly shaped. "Hm, neck corset", she thought, "this probably means I have to put it around the neck. I hope it won't strangle me".

She noticed that it has laces, but no front opening, so she will have to put on it over her head. She struggled to get it over her head and in one moment it popped around her neck. It went over her mouth, all the way up to her nose. As soon as it was in place, the woman grabbed the laces behind her and started to pull, surprising Amy and making the neck corset tighter. Amy was also surprised by the object in front of her mouth that began to push inside as the neck corset was being tightened.

"Wait!", exclaimed Amy.

"Oh, sorry, is it too tight already? It shouldn't be, it still seems pretty loose."

"A bit, but there is also something inside."

"Oh that. It's just a gag. You know, the thing that goes into the mouth and prevents speech. It is removable, but you can keep it if you want to try it out."

Not wanting to waste time unlacing and removing the neck corset to remove the gag and then struggling to put it on again, Amy responded jokingly:

"I guess it's okay if you say it in such a nonchalant manner."

They both giggled. Amy pushed the gag inside and the woman simultaneously gave the laces a strong pull, making it impossible to remove the gag without loosening them and making Amy gasp at the tightness. Amy immediately noticed that gag didn't have enough volume to significantly impede her speech:

"Hehe, it'f nof wewy effeftiwe."

"It's because it's needs to be inflated. Here, let me show you.", the woman responded and quickly pumped the gag.

"Mmmmmph!", was all Amy could say from this point.

"You see, now it works as it is supposed to. Now let me finish this."

Before Amy could make any other reaction, the woman grabbed the laces, tightened them some more and tied them off. She noticed that Amy's eyes were wide open, due to surprise tightness, so she asked her:

"Oops, this might be too tight. Can you breathe?"

The neck corset was very tight and restrictive, but Amy could still inhale the air. It also helped that the gag had a breathing tube, so she could also breathe through the mouth. Because of the restriction, she could only slightly nod to affirmatively respond.

"Good, because this will look great!", the woman said with a joyous voice, grabbed a rigid flap that was hanging on behind, closed it, and fixed it with a series of clicks.

"It looks great!", the woman exclaimed, "Oh, how rude from me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Silvia. You are?", the woman handed her hand.

"Mmy.", Amy shook her hand while attempting to respond.

"Oh, right, I've forgotten that you've decided to keep the gag. It really works good, doesn't it?"

"It is indeed effective", Amy thought, "but why would anyone wear something like that for a longer period? Why would anyone wear it at all? What kind of strange taste does her friend have?".

The neck corset was so tight that she couldn't move her head and it was pressing her neck and lower half of her head. And having a big gag inside her mouth didn't help either. At least the item seemed to be well made out of high quality leather, distributing the pressure evenly, so it wasn't that much uncomfortable as it could have been, but it was still much.

"Let's try out some more.", Silvia broke her line of thoughts and handed her the corset that was previously hanging nearby.

"Try this corset. You'll need a changing room, it's right here. Just say or knock if you need a help.", she said politely.

As she pointed her to the nearest changing room, Amy went inside. There was a horizontal rod with two straps hanging from the ceiling to about the chest height. Still wearing the neck corset, she started to touch it around to figure out how to remove it because it was gripping her like a vice and she also wanted to be able to talk again. The tight leathery texture, reinforced by curved vertical steel bones, felt nice to touch, so she caressed it for a while. The whole situation felt surreal.

Snapping back to reality, she searched the back of the neck corset to find the laces to loosen them. However, instead of laces, she found a rigid extra layer of leather over them which seemed to be held in place by a few padlocks. After tugging them few times, she slightly panicked upon realization that she isn't going to loose, let alone remove, the neck corset without the key and the same goes for the gag.

"Ungh!", she grunted unintelligibly with a slight anger.

First, she intended to knock for a help, but then, she decided to examine the corset first. It was long overbust with shoulder straps and had a metal part attached covering the crotch. The metal part was made out of very strong stainless steel and had a soft leather lining, probably to fit more comfortably. It seemed removable, but she decided not to waste any time and put the corset on completely.

She removed her clothes, opened the busk of the corset and started to wrap it around. It was a bit harder because she was unable to lower her head, so she helped herself with a mirror. The crotch part was a bit tricky, but it soon slid to place. Only then did she notice that it has a protruding part.

"Oh, what the hell, it's not so bad", she thought and pushed the crotch part, followed by closing the busk.

Once closed, the corset felt slightly tight and restrictive. She was unable to bend. Quickly locating the laces in the back, she decided to try to pull them. They were incredibly easy to pull and corset got tighter. Not sure what to do next, she knocked.

"Coming!", Silvia responded immediately, appeared behind her and grabbed the laces.

"Oh nice, you didn't take of the neck corset, so we can see how looks with the corset. I was afraid that you will take it of because it might be uncomfortably tight.", Silvia said and Amy was wondering whether she forgot that she locked it shut, or didn't even realize that the padlocks are real.

"It will be easier if you grab this rod, it's called a lacing bar.", Silvia suggested and Amy reflexively did as she was told.

Silvia slightly repositioned Amy's arms on the lacing bar and fastened straps around her wrists.

"Mmmph!", Amy exclaimed in protest.

"Don't worry, this will make the lacing easier.", Silvia tried to calm her.

Then she started to rotate a wheel on the wall which caused the lacing bar to slowly rise until Amy was on her tiptoes, helplessly hanging from the bar. After that, she began to pull the laces, leaving helpless Amy without breath. When she Silvia finished, Amy was gasping for breath and felt severely crushed. Silvia closed a rigid flap on the back of the corset, similar to the one on the back of the neck corset, and fixed with the same clicking sound, which Amy now knew were padlocks.

Looking around the corset, Silvia noticed that the crotch part wasn't removed and happily commented:

"Oh, nice, you decided to also try out the chastity belt.", and locked it in place as well.

The corset was producing a hourglass figure, which both Amy and Silvia admired for a moment, but Silvia wasn't completely satisfied.

"You know, this corset gives you a great figure and I can see by the way you look at the mirror that you agree. But something is missing... Something... I know! Boots! What's your shoe number?", she asked.

"Mmmmph mmm!"

"Sorry, I keep forgetting that you are wearing a gag. Oh, silly me. I'll look on your shoes.", she responded sincerely with a smile.

"Ok, got it, don't go anywhere, I'll return soon!", Silvia assured her.

"As if I could go anywhere.", Amy thought.

Amy was hanging from the lacing bar, tightly corseted, both around her waist and with a neck corset, which was holding the gag, which was preventing her from expressing a wish to get out of those torture devices. The fact that wearing the gag was her choice has additionally frustrated her.

"Damn my curiosity!", she thought.

It took Silvia a while to find the perfect boots and she had to go to the other end of the shop, so Amy began to worry if she forgot about her, just like she keeps forgetting about the gag.

"Mmmmmph!", she tried to let an audible sound, but, because of very effective gag and the corset robbing her breath, she couldn't achieve sufficient volume to be heard.

"Oh, you're still hanging around here.", said Silvia who has just entered the changing room with a pair of very long and very high heeled boots.

Although long, boots had no zipper and had to be laced up completely. Silvia first took a while to loosen them enough to be able to put Amy's legs inside. At the same time, Amy was still helplessly hanging from the lacing bar.

"All right, let's put those on!", decided Silvia and guided Amy's legs in the boots, one by one. Amy was surprised by the steep angle of the boots, although she has seen that they have very high heels. It took even more time to lace up the boots, and Silvia did her best to tighten them as much as possible. When finished, boots went all the way up to the crotch, ending where the corset's chastity belt began. The whole procedure was finalized with two recognizable clicks.

"Seriously, even boots?", Amy thought nervously.

"Ok, I will now lower the lacing bar. I'm sorry you've spent so much time hanging from it."

Silvia seemed sincere, so Amy decided not to be angry at her, as most of this was probably partially some kind of misunderstanding. When Silvia finally lowered the lacing bar, Amy noticed that balancing in those heels was a non-trivial task.

"I'll be right back!", Silvia said suddenly and left.

Amy still wasn't free to walk around, because Silvia forgot to unfasten the wrist straps, but when she wanted to get her attention, Silvia was no longer in the changing room. Amy spent few minutes waiting for Silvia to return and her feet began to feel sore because of the heels.

"Sorry to keep you waiting again, but a nice skirt I saw in the shop came to my mind, and it would work great with the whole ensemble.", Silvia apologized, "Here, try it on!".

She handed the long skirt to Amy, but then noticed that Amy's wrists were still secured to the lacing bar.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot again. My bad.", Silvia said with embarrassment and unfastened Amy's wrists. Then, she moved away from the changing room, leaving Amy with a skirt to try.

Amy first tried to check whether she could remove anything she wears, but the answer was negative. Even the busk of the corset had a few padlocks hanging from if, she didn't even notice when Silvia applied them. Amy tried to touch herself in the crotch area, but quickly realized that unyielding stainless steel is preventing any sensation from being transmitted to her sensitive parts.

"That's why she called it a chastity belt.", she thought.

Without anything else to do, she decided to try the skirt. Corset and boots were making this task much harder, but eventually she managed to pull it up and pulled a back zipper. Skirt seemed okay, although it was a bit tight and went all the way down to her ankles.

"Well, it's refreshing to try something relatively normal for a change.", she thought.

She slowly exited the changing room, with combination of heels and tight skirt making her steps shorter. Silvia saw her, she was very happy how Amy looked.

"Now, this looks really great!", she complemented, "I don't think that anything is missing now, but if you think that it might, or want to try some accessory with it, or if you are just interested in how some strange item works, go ahead."

Amy just shrugged, as she didn't have any ideas and she also wanted to get out of this as soon as possible. She looked to the rack and made a puzzled look to the bag-like item, because she wondered what could it be. Silvia noticed her look and grabbed the item.

"Oh, this? You don't know what it is?", Silvia enquired.

Amy just slightly shook her head, as much as the neck corset would allow.

"Well, let's see...", Silvia began to examine the item, as even she didn't immediately recognize what could it be, "Aha, I think I know! Turn around, let me show you."

Amy turned around and Silvia grabbed her arms and put them close behind the back. Then, she began to pull the leather sheath encompassing both Amy's arms and buckled some straps in the front. When, suddenly, she pulled a zipper on the back, Amy noticed that her arms came together and no matter how she wiggled, she couldn't put them out. She was helpless again.

"It's an armbinder.", Silvia explained while producing the familiar clicks.

"Do they have any item that isn't lockable?", Amy thought.

"So how does it feel? Is it comfortable? Besides being restrictive, of course."

Armbinder was very restrictive, but it was made out of soft leather and didn't seem to press any nerves, so Amy nodded.

"Good! I think it goes well with the outfit!"

"Mmmmmmmph!", Amy moaned angrily.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot. You'd like this coat. Would you like to try it now?"

"Mhm!", Amy responded affirmatively, hoping to at least get the armbinder removed, because she needs free arms to try the coat.

"That means that you'll unfortunately have to take of this nice armbinder. But it looks so good on you and I think you enjoy being in it. You would like to keep it on somewhat longer, wouldn't you?", Silvia honestly asked.

"Mhm.", Amy responded sarcastically, but Silvia didn't get her sarcasm, only her affirmative response.

Silvia grabbed the coat first and began to thoroughly inspect, to let Amy "enjoy" the armbinder a bit more instead of freeing her immediately. Amy was nervously waiting for her to finish, but then Silvia noticed something with the coat.

"Good news!", she exclaimed with joy, "The coat has a hidden compartment at the interior of the back which seems to be made to accomodate the armbinder, so you can keep the armbinder on, as you wish."

Amy wanted to take off the armbinder first, but, gagged as she was, she couldn't say it. Her unintelligible protest was delayed by the amazement with the fact that Silvia thinks that Amy likes to have her arms bound behind her back by a leather sheath.

"Damn", she thought, "now it turns out that, not only wearing the gag, but also continuing to wear this armbinder thing was my choice."

Before long, Silvia started to help Amy into the coat, first guiding her bound arms into the special compartment, then working with the rest of the coat and finally adjusting it to look well. Then, she led Amy to the mirrors to let her see how she looked.

"What do you think?", Silvia asked.

"Mhm.", Amy responded affirmatively because it looked good. She turned around to see it from different angles as much as her neck corset would allow and she could see that the coat was effectively hiding the fact that she's wearing an armbinder. It also looked good with the skirt and the boots, although this wasn't her style, as she wasn't into heels and long tight skirts. Only thing that couldn't pass as a "normal clothing" was the over-the-mouth part of the neck corset, but Silvia also noticed it and was quick to provide the solution.

"Here, try in with this shawl.", she suggested and carefully wrapped the shawl. The shawl was completely hiding the neck corset, so Amy could walk like that in the public and people passing by wouldn't notice anything strange. Silvia was satisfied with the look and with everything hidden underneath, so she said:

"Let's go to the cashier, to see how much it will cost."

Amy was expecting that Silvia would free her first, but then it occurred to her that Silvia thought that Amy was actually enjoying the armbinder.

"She will probably make the payment first.", Amy concluded and followed Silvia to the cashier.

When Silvia heard the price, it didn't seem much for her and she was so grateful to Amy for her assistance that she thought buying her only the coat wouldn't suffice. Wondering how to properly retribute, she asked Amy:

"Do you already own anything like that?"

"Uh-nuh.", Amy responded negatively.

"Well, I am really grateful that you helped me so much and patiently waited when I was searching. Also, your suggestion to add the armbinder was really helpful. Money is not a problem for me, so I would like to give a gift to you."

"Mmmmmmmmm...!", Amy moaned happily with anticipation. She knew this meant she was getting the coat for free.

"Wrap me another set of those items, except the coat.", Silvia told the cashier.

Amy was confused, as she didn't understand why would Silvia two identical sets of this stuff for her friend.

"I feel that buying you just the coat isn't enough.", Silvia explained, "So now you have everything you are wearing, including the armbinder you seem to like and enjoy so much."

"No, I don't like it." Amy thought, but at the same time was amazed at how lucky she was to get a lot of items worth a fortune for free, so she giggled a bit, as much as her gag would allow. Silvia took off Amy's coat and unlocked the back zipper of the armbinder. Before, pulling down the zipper and freeing Amy's arms, which Amy was anxiously looking forward to, she showed her the keys and said:

"With those keys you can unlock and lock your corset, neck corset and boots, and with this key your armbinder."

Then, she pulled down the zipper and Amy was relieved because she will be able to use her arms again soon. As Amy started to pull her arms out of her armbinder, Silvia dropped the first set of keys into it, so Amy moved her arms back into the armbinder in order to retrieve the keys. This caused her to move her arms back into the previous position and she paused once she felt the keys, happy that she can now remove those hellish items. But this looked like she wants back into the armbinder and Silvia reacted:

"Oh, okay.", and pulled the zipper back up and re-locked it.

"No, I only wanted to get the keys!", Amy thought and let out a moan which Silvia misinterpreted as expression of satisfaction. She helped Amy back into the coat, redid her shawl and showed her the armbinder key saying silently:

"I'll leave it in your right pocket.", and she dropped it in the pocket as she said.

"Mmmmmmmmmm!", Amy protested.

"Don't worry, you look fine.", Silvia tried to reassure her.

Amy was waiting for Silvia to change her mind, but Silvia was already at the exit.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!", Amy protested again and followed Silvia.

"Oh, I almost forgot.", Silvia said, "Your skirt can turn into a real hobble skirt, you just need to pull down this zipper..."

There was a loud "Zzzzzzzt!" sound from the heavy duty zipper and Amy's skirt became much tighter in an instant, allowing her to take only minuscule steps.

"By the way, there is a fetish party tonight in the Dark Red Club if you want to have more fun, because I have to go. It has a strict dress code, but you are already adhering it. It is just a few blocks away in the south direction, you can't miss it, and with this skirt you will arrive just in time it begins. I really have to go now, I can't join you now, but I might come later to the party. Bye!", Silvia said and left the shop.

Amy couldn't follow her because Silvia was hurrying and the hobble skirt was making Amy very slow.

"You have a very generous friend.", cashier commented with a a bit envy and went to another compartment of the shop.

Amy was left bound alone in the shop.

With her gag, filling her mouth. With her neck corset, keeping it in place and tightly pressing her neck, barely allowing her to breathe. With her corset, crushing her waist and making it impossible for her to bend. With her high heeled boots, also tight, making her feet sore. With her hobble skirt, drastically reducing her steps. With her armbinder, holding her arms bound behind her back and making her unable to remove any of this. And with her coat and shawl, hiding her helplessness.

She was beginning to feel hot in the shop, so she slowly went outside, to cool down. There weren't many people on the street and those who were present were just passing by, without noticing anything strange. Amy stood outside for a while, contemplating about what just happened. After cooling down, she decided to turn back into the shop, maybe she will manage to get somebody to help her out of this.

However, when she turned back, she saw the "CLOSED" sign and closed doors. The working time was over just a minute ago. Amy was horrified by the realization that she isn't getting out of this anytime soon. Out of any other options, she decided to take a long short-stepped walk to the fetish party.
