There’s absolutely nothing wrong with throwing a themed party. Dressing up can be a great form of escapism, and you’re never to old to enjoy a fun costume. In fact, a 2023 YouGov survey found that over a quarter of American adults dress up as a character for Halloween.
However, one of the most important aspects of dressing up in a costume is being able to choose what you want to wear. There’s a big difference between picking a seductive outfit because you feel good in it and being pressured into wearing one because your partner wants to see how you’d look in it.
Maid costumes, in particular, are one of the most popular choices when it comes to cosplay that tends to grab the attention of straight men. But have you ever wondered where the popular French maid costume came from?
Fibre2Fashion explains on their site that this outfit is based on the simple black and white servant dresses that maids actually wore in the early 19th century. These dresses were typically made out of silk or satin and included frilly white aprons. But of course, the ones that we see today usually cover a lot less skin.
