The chambermaid set is the classic black-and-white maid uniform, consisting of a skirt, apron, headpiece, choker, and cuffs. Wear it at Carnival or a costume party if you are dressing up as a group of professionals or simply want to portray an instantly recognisable black-and-white character. The set is designed for women and men, so it also works as a costume joke for men.
What exactly does the chambermaid uniform look like?
- The set includes five pieces: a headpiece, a choker, cuffs, a skirt, and an apron.
- The skirt is plain black, and the white apron features a wide lace ruffle along the edge and long ribbon ties around the waist.
- The headpiece, choker, and cuffs are made of white lace, and the choker and cuffs each have a black bow.
- The material is 100% polyester.
- Washing instructions: hand wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron at a maximum of 110°C, and do not dry clean.
The origins of the chambermaid look
Black and white has traditionally been the colour scheme of domestic staff in large houses and hotels: a dark dress worn with a white apron and a lace cap. As a costume, this look is known as the French maid, a playful version of the uniform with more lace and a shorter skirt. This makes the chambermaid part of the occupational costumes, alongside the waiter and waitress.
Makeup and accessories for the chambermaid
A top is not included in the set, so your own black top or shirt will complete the silhouette and make the white apron stand out. Red lipstick and sharp eyeliner complement the black-and-white contrast. Keep jewellery small, such as pearl-like stud earrings, as the lace choker already adorns your neck. With black fishnet tights and a feather duster in hand, the look is complete.
Order the chambermaid set and you will be ready in a black-and-white uniform for Carnival in no time.
