Instructions:
1. Assemble the dress and apron. If you don't have a black long-sleeved dress or top, you can use a black tank top or cami and add a black cardigan or jacket over it.
2. Tie the apron around your waist. The apron should be long enough to cover the front and back of your dress or top.
3. Put on the tights or stockings. Black opaque tights or stockings will give you a classic French maid look.
4. Slip on the heels or flats. Heels will give your costume a more formal look, while flats are a more comfortable option for a casual costume.
5. Add the feather duster or cleaning implement. This is a must-have accessory for a French maid costume!
6. Put on the headdress or headband. This will help to complete your costume and give you a more authentic look.
7. Add any optional accessories. If you want to take your costume to the next level, you can add accessories such as a black capelet or shawl, white lace gloves, and a pearl necklace.
8. Style your hair and makeup. You can wear your hair in a simple updo or down in loose waves. For your makeup, you can keep it natural or add some dramatic eyeshadow and lipstick.
9. Have fun with your costume! A French maid costume is a great way to add some fun and excitement to your next party or event.
