How to Make a Maid Halloween Costume

Lace is a common accessory on a French maid costume.

French maid outfits have become a very popular costume for the Halloween holiday. French maid costumes often consist of a short black dress, small white apron, lace guarder belt and stockings. Styling your hair in the form of a bun and wearing a lace tiara or ruffled cap will also help create the appearance of a French maid. Creating your own French maid costume at home is an affordable way to impress your friends with your Halloween costume.

Things You'll Need

• Black dress
• Lace tiara
• High heels
• Fishnet stockings
• Guarder belt
• Hair pin
• Lace apron

Instructions

1. Put on a short black dress. Knee-high dresses are recommended for a French maid costume. Wrap a lace apron around your waist and tie the strings in the back.

2. Wear a pair of black fishnet stockings. Slide a white, lace guarder belt up your leg and position it just at the top of the fishnet stocking elastic. Put on a pair of black high heels to accent your costume.

3. Style your hair in the form of a bun. Use a hair pin to hold the bun in place. Place a lace tiara or ruffled cap on your head.

4. Apply makeup to resemble a French maid. Red lipstick, black eye shadow and eye liner are a few examples of French maid makeup.
