Welcome to Distopia

"Rarity, do you just make dresses or other stuff?" Lorraine asked as she helped the fashionista move some ponyquins into Rarity's display window.

"Oh I make all kinds of clothes, dresses, suits, jackets," the mare replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Uh, well, I was wondering what about underwear?" the luck dragon asked nervously. "I sort of miss wearing clothes and... stuff..."

"Stuff?" Rarity repeated.

Lorraine sighed. "Never mind, forget I asked."

The two of them stepped away from the window while Rarity used her magic to adjust the position of the ponyquins. The unicorn glanced at Lorraine. "If you need clothing to feel comfortable dear then all you had to do was ask," Rarity gave the dragon a sly smile. "And it's only natural for a mare to dress up for her stallion."

"Dress up? I just miss wearing socks and comfy clothes." Lorraine said, oblivious.

"Socks? Oh goodness gracious! Lorraine, dear, clothes in Equestria are worn as status symbols, outerwear especially," Rarity gently explained. "Underwear, such as socks, panties and the like are for more, shall we say intimate occasions."

Lorraine blinked and looked annoyed by the information. "Seriously? Fuckin' socks."

"...Yes, I'm more than happy to make you such garments if you want them," Rarity said reassuringly. "Just, make sure to leave the underwear at home, alright?"

"I don't think I'll bother, not even sure if knickers would be feasible for my body shape," Lorraine said with a sigh. "Do you think I could pull of a long coat?"

Rarity finished adjusting the display and took a long look at her friend. "Hmmm, perhaps, why did you ask about undergarments if you weren't sure on buying them?"

"I do miss wearing clothes, it just wasn't a pressing issue because no one cared that I wasn't," Lorraine explained. "And I wanted to surprise John with something cute... I guess..."

"I see, well then! Let's see about drawing up a few designs for a coat," Rarity declared and trotted over to the front counter. "I'll even throw in a few pairs of socks."

“Oh, I’ll probably need some winter wear as well.” Lorraine added. “Because, as fluffy as I look, this isn’t actually a winter coat.”

“Of course, daring.” Rarity replied with a smile. “What do you have in mind?”

“Gloves, boots, and a hat. And a skivvy, if you know what that is.” Lorraine listed. “I think you guys call it a turtleneck.”

“Ah, yes, of course I can work on those for you. Any particular color choice?” Rarity asked, starting to jot down some notes on a nearby pad.

“Well, white turtleneck, and dark blue or black for everything else.” Lorraine said with a shrug.

“Nothing too fancy I assume, you have quite simple tastes.” Rarity giggled.

Lorriane shrugged again. “Pretty much, as long as it lasts.”

“Well, I can get started on everything, and while I do, we can chat.” Rarity said with a smile.

“Cool.”
