Sexy and Fun: The French Maid Costume
You are in need of a costume for a party you will be attending soon, and you want to go as something sultry. A saloon girl is not your style, nor is a flapper, so your next idea is to go with a popular look: the French maid costume.
The Components of the French Maid Costume
The overall appearance of a French maid costume is to convey the feeling that she is not really a maid at all, but actually something more seductive. The French maid costume is simple within itself, but when worn correctly, it can mean much more.
Specifically, the dress of a French maid costume is all black, with a white ruffled petticoat, and a simple white apron. However, the dress itself is very short, and it is low-cut. Aside from the standard outfit, you can add your own personality to the French maid costume, which makes it even more fun to wear.
For example, part of what makes the costume look interesting is the shoes. You can go with a stand pair of high heels if you want to go for more of a classic look. However, if you want to spice the costume up a bit, you can add platform heels or boots.
Something else you need to think about is the stockings. Regular nylon stockings would be rather boring, so why not go a bit more daring with some fishnet or black stockings? You could also add a unique style to your look by wearing white knee socks.
Something else that a French maid needs to have is an accessory. One of the most popular costume accessories is a white duster. However, you can do something different as well by bring a small purse, or perhaps a toy French poodle.
For more information on obtaining a French maid outfit, begin by going to your local costume store. There should be at least one variation of this popular outfit there. Be aware that there are some costumes that are made better than others, so keep that in mind when choosing a French maid outfit.
Remember, the most important thing is that you find a French maid outfit that fits you well and allows you to comfortably enjoy your party. For this reason, consider outfits that do not include a corset. Also, get a black choker and a little white hat to complete your ensemble. With the proper preparation, you are sure to have an excellent French maid outfit!

I can trace my obsession with vampires back to 1987 when I saw The Lost Boys for the first time (the first of many, many times). Years later, there was “Buffy”, then “Angel”, and later “Moonlight” on television.
I’ve always preferred entertainment with bite.
While I have to admit that the sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe, was terrible, I [...]
