As is typical during the winter's colder weather I underdress more often, occasionally wearing high-waist girdles and stockings under my slacks, dress shirt and sweaters.
Today in a meeting, I noticed the HR manager -an older lady and dear friend of many years whom I was sitting next to in the meeting- occasionally glancing down at my thighs and lo and behold, the outline of one my open-bottom girdle's garters was pretty visible through my pants leg.
The meeting ends and she asks me to stay behind a second. When we're alone, she says 'XXXXX, I've known you for years and have lots of both professional and personal admiration for you. Because of that and to prevent you from losing stature here, I have to ask you a question: are you wearing a girdle or garter belt and stockings under your male clothes?'
My jaw dropped to the table-top, I started perspiring a bit, stammered and said 'I am, and how do you know?'
Her response: 'my husband (who is deceased) was a cross-dresser and I could not help but notice the outline of a garter through your slacks. I don't care, but some people here might and I don't want your name and reputation here to be tarnished in any way, so be careful.'
I thanked her profusely, we hugged and she said that of course, it would stay between us which I trust completely will be as she said.
But, it could have been someone else with lesser intentions, so....be careful out there....

It was a little scary while in the Navy but nothing was ever said. I still got my honorable discharge even if I was wearing panties.
