FUN Costumes Traditional Maid Costume for Women Black/White
Do you ever see one of those huge mansions and shudder? No, not because it's probably haunted. You should shudder because of how much hard work all those floors, annexes, and terraces represent. When you wonder how people would have ever caught up with the housework you have to keep in mind that most families with houses that are this large had a s... moretaff of twenty people working about 70 hours a week to keep that not so humble abode spic and span.
So, when we're daydreaming about those days Jane Austin and Jane Eyre, really any of the Janes, there is a community of people living their lives in the backdrops of all of those stories. Next to the women whose only worry was to find a husband under fifty years old who netted a gross income of 10,000 pounds a year the life of a maid was pretty darned busy! They'd typically wake up before the sun rose to prepare the fires to make sure the high-class residents woke up warm and cozy. After that, they'd be running around until past dinner time: cleaning the house, helping their mistress's into their ridiculous gowns, and helping in the kitchens. It might sound like a hard career but when compared to the alternative Victorian jobs for poor women which include washerwoman and brick maker, it wasn't half bad.
Whether you're looking for an ensemble for a play, a murder mystery dinner, or a costume party in this costume you'd fit right in at the poshest of manors. The full-length skirt is modest enough for Victorian standards while the bright white apron would make any Mistress proud. Just remember to dust behind that vase on the mantelpiece, trust us, those high-class ladies will check!

THE LIFE OF A MAID
We honestly don't think that the life of a maid would be too bad. Sure, you spend most of your day cleaning up after someone else, and yes it might get repetitive. But that doesn't mean there aren't some other pretty awesome perks. For one, you get to live in a gorgeous house. If the people you clean for can afford a maid, odds... moreare they are pretty wealthy! If they are wealthy then they probably have a big gorgeous house, and you probably get to live there! That doesn't sound too shabby, right?
Not only that, you get to hear the whole families gossip. You might just be in their office, dusting the bookshelf, when they storm in and start ranting about what so and so did at work that day. You'd have the inside scoop on everything, it'd be like living in a reality TV show!
FUN DETAILS
This costume will transform you from a person living in the 21st century to a maid living far in the past. You'll be wearing a black maid dress, with long sleeves and a white collar. That collar will go perfectly with your white apron, which you'll be wearing over the dress. Last but not least, you'll be wearing the white hat you see pictured above. Hats like these are essential for any maid's costume! All you will need now is your own feather duster, and your costume will be complete!
WHY A WHITE APRON?
One thing that we have never understood is why a maid would want to wear a white apron. Sure, it looks nice and all, but it just doesn't seem practical. If you are going to be cleaning, wouldn't you want to wear clothes that won't show stains? Why put on a white apron that will easily stain when you are already wearing a black dress that wouldn't show a stain? Just some food for thought.
