Fantasy French Maid Costume
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
When it comes to intimate dress-up, there’s little that’s more classic than the fantasy French maid costume. It’s one of the all-time most popular of male fantasies, and one of the most fun for women to fulfill.
Fantasy French Maid Costume Origins
Everyone knows what the standard naughty French maid costume looks like. It’s a short black dress, usually with a lacy or fluffy crinoline underneath, white trim and an apron. It’s topped by a little hat and accessorized with black seamed stockings and of course, a feather duster. The costume originated in British burlesque shows, which combined classic French farce and sexually charged bedroom scenarios. The male audiences loved them and the idea of the servant who’s only too glad to make sure everyone’s happy, and has been a fantasy ever since.
Shopping for French Maid Costumes
Because the outfit is so popular, you can get a variation on it just about anywhere. It’s a staple of Halloween costumes, found in drugstores as well as high-end costume shops. You can spend less than $10 or over $100. It all depends on the sort of fantasy mood you’re trying to create.
If you’re shopping online, there are outfits galore to be had. At Funky Boutique, for example, they have eight very naughty maid costumes. They range from the Halloween maid costume, which can more or less be worn in public, even though it is made of Patent PVC and lace. It includes an underwire cup mini-dress, with lace ruffles on the sleeve and hem and a matching apron. Then there's the peek-a-boo maid which is strictly for private fun. The costume consists of a satin and lace teddy with a thong back and includes an apron, headband and ribbon neckband.
At Fantasia Wear, there are thirteen costumes from which to choose, including some that are two-piece or backless. For a standard costume, try:
- French Maid Costume AM-1291. This fun number consists of a Spandex mini-dress with a white frilly fake top and corset under the breasts. The apron is attached and feather duster is included.
If you really want to jazz things up, Fantasia Wear offers a number of accessories, including fishnet stockings of various lengths, petticoats, frilly panties, gloves, stilettos and even a bob-style wig.
To go a little saucier but still leave a lot to the imagination, try:
- Frisky French Maid Costume: A charming off-the-shoulder satin Lycra mini-dress with an apron, matching headpiece and collar. As of this writing, this costume is on a special sale with free white gloves and frilly petticoat.
The fantasy French maid costume that is their best seller is the:
- French Maid Teddy. A seven-piece costume consisting of a low-cut frilly teddy with a removable apron skirt, so that when you turn around, a lot is revealed! Also included are white lacy wristlets, a white garter, choker, headpiece and stockings.
Plus Size French Maid
A French maid is supposed to be juicy, so it only makes sense that there are plenty of plus size costumes to choose from. A really saucy one is available at Hips and Curves, one of the best purveyors of plus size lingerie on the Web. The costume is an underwire teddy with adjustable straps and lace trim, a frilly little white apron, lacy gloves, a lace hair band and a black and white neckband. You can also buy seamed stockings and high-heel marabou pumps from them, but you’ll have to get the feather duster separately.
They also have a fishnet and baby doll costume, consisting of an open-back baby doll with attached apron, sheer stockings with stretch vinyl lace-trimmed tops, and a lace ruffled cap. Get a thong to match!
It’s likely no cleaning will get done when this costume’s being worn, but you’ll definitely have someone saying “ooh-la-la!”
