French Maid - Wear

Wear

The costumes are frequently worn to costume parties, and also used in drama/theater. They are sometimes worn for sexual roleplaying or by BDSM practitioners, either on brief occasions, or as a routine form of servitude to the dominant partner.

Among cross-dressing female-dominated men, there is also an extensive Sissy subculture with men roleplaying as submissive "sissy maids" wearing a feminine French maid costume.

French maid costumes also feature in mainstream media from time to time. Notable films include:

  • Joanne Whalley in The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)
  • Colleen Camp as a French maid in Clue (1985), a murder mystery spoof in which she becomes a suspect, and later, a victim
  • In Friends with Money (2006), Jennifer Aniston dresses as a French maid for her boyfriend
    • Aniston played the maid seductress again in a guest role on the 3rd episode of the 3rd season of the NBC TV series 30 Rock.
  • On the Desperate Housewives series, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) wears a French maid outfit she bought at a lingerie store to spice up her marriage.
  • Lumiere's girlfriend in Disney's Beauty and The Beast, depicted in enchanted form as a feather duster with a resemblance to a French maid

Famous quotes containing the word wear:

    “When my outward action doth demonstrate
    The native act and figure of my heart
    In compliment extern, ‘tis not long after
    But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
    For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The hat is not for the street: it will never be democratized. But there are certain houses that one cannot enter without a hat. And one must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well. One appears to one’s best advantage.”
    —Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

    “What shall he have that killed the deer?
    His leather skin and horns to wear.
    Then sing him home.
    Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
    It was a crest ere thou wast born;
    Thy father’s father wore it,
    And thy father bore it.
    The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
    Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
